Ohayo!

The splendor of Japan cannot be articulated in visuals and even in words. My ignorance of this country proves as a complete laugh. The city of Tokyo is really that of a magical and the Japanese are worthy to be proud of what they have achieved since World War II.

The past week in Tokyo was not just shopping and gourmet spectacular, but it encapsulated an understanding of how the Japanese work and a deeper understanding of their culture.

From Shinjuku to Omotesando, Tokyo is never short of international brands to serve the market. All levels of shopping can be found in this vibrant city and one can truly say that there is everyone for anyone here.
A constant raid of the shopping districts in Tokyo can even amount to a nightmare that never ends. The nightmare of not having enough money to buy beautiful things and to don beautiful art. You can almost say that every piece of fashion is what one would call a piece of art. How can I resist the pleasures of buying pieces of art, when what I deem beautiful in life is never practical. Layouts of retail stores are never boring and with an availability to invigorate all senses. The well thought out shopping experience starts from the hardware; interior décor to the exceptional service standard from the various retail staff from the outlets. They truly take pride in whatever they do and give it and additional detail to make it stand out.

I will definitely be seeing more of Japan in the years to come. You have not seen the last of me.

The painting that spoke to me

Just before I mount the paiting onto my bedroom wall.

881

Managed to catch 881, a Royston Tan film yesterday. I have to say that he made a supposedly commercial movie, done in an understandable and artistic way. I have to laud him for his creative directing and imagination. Every angle throw his lens was near perfection. Or the "raw-ness" was basically the fact of life, with sharp edges and never perfect. The plot took me throw the ups and downs of being a ge-tai Singer. I had absolutely no idea the pains and tribulations of their life. Kudos to Yeo Yan Yan for yet another great acting spectacular.

This show is a must catch! And it brought out the lian-ness in me. Hahaha.

When drama is not on me

B messaged me on msn today. I am guilty for allowing him that chance to gain contact with me. I may have deleted him from my phone listing and MSN, but I have failed to completely block him from messenger. He dropped me a message, "Happy National day dude." Crazy fella. And I just ignored it completely and closed the window. Watching HK drama serials are better than me having to live through that kind of drama.

I have moved on!

Revolving Doors of Vengeance

Such drma and politics. You really wonder if it is happening in the real world. Plots of succession and evil-ness.

When Tai Tai-s meet Boi Boi

There are doubts in my current career path and in recent weeks, been contemplating if I should move into greener pastures. But there seem to be a pull factor in what I am doing currently and it is definately stopping me from a decision as such. Last night was a true example of how living the life of a creative guy seats.

Company from Ida Ong (Grooming consultant), Gina (Ex-model for Escada) and Janet Teo (Ex- Director of Mercandising for Melwani) created intense passion for what I do. Traces of aging does not seem as evident as what you would expect. The well preserved girls are what you would deem as fashionista women. The conversations and little chats of high fashion and their friends provided me with entertainment. Only names in the capacity such as Clarence Lee, David Gan, Daniel Boey were mentioned. Their immaculate way of handling clients and how great their skills were mentioned. Was quite funny just to hear of stories of them, and of course the recent Zoe spat. You have no idea the information that was shared proved to be informative. Afterall, Zoe was discovered by Ida Ong herself. Zoe must have been her proudest find till date. Always lamenting how no other modelling agency wanted her during her time and she polished her rough edges to shine as to what she is today. '

Life as a Brand Consultant is definately good if only you have friends like that, when all there seems to life is travel, shopping and your celebrity hairstylists. Something to highlight is that Clarence Lee is a very good Makeup artist. Will bear him in mind for possible "shows". Ms. Chan, you want?

We

Trips to Perth are more than just holidays; they have the ability to recharge my soul and spirit. Combining a bit of everything, we get to indulge in life’s little pleasures. From dining to shopping, everything comes with just a little bit of surprise.

Brian and Jumius did an excellent job of hosting us for the trip and ensured that we were well fed and well rested. Beds were nicely laid out with comforting quilts accompany. A round of feathered pillows never fails to give that extra touch of class. Brian is truly a homemaker with flare for putting furniture together with immaculate taste.

Laughter was in abundance with slight differences at times. But it does not affect how we feet for each other. A consistent love that binds us together, making us understand that friends as such are never too easy to come by. Even in the darkness of Perth’s frequent blackouts, we held together with and understanding that there will always be light in the toilet. Power failures do not mean the end of entertainment; it only means the beginning of happy traits that we all cherish.

On the last day of the trip, I lashed out my shopping mode and just went ahead buying things that I like. Of course, it would have been perfect to have that couture piece of bag. But I had to know when to stop. A Jack Spade should be sufficient for now till maybe my next bonus. Ah, a wonderful idea that maybe that will be the sign that the bag can now be mine.

Will post the series of pictures soon.

Came

Arrival of the fittest

Back in Perth once again. This time round, the excitement is less than usual, but as I warmed up to the freezing winter, the ice just melted away.

The flight into Perth was full and it was actually not the most comfortable flight, infact compared to the previous experience with Tiger, the crowd was not particularly as "civilised". There were creaming children just seated in front of moi and fat Auzzies, almost good enough to "Oui, Oui, Oui" at me. The only redeeming factor came in the form of TV on demand screenings of a whole lot of comedies and movies.

Ma'am Loon braved the cold and almost stormy rains to pick us up at the airport. This was the first time in ages since the 4 of us were in a same country, conversing face to face. I must say that it brought us back fond memories of the days in downsville. A pity princess was unable to take time off from work to gallivant in this moment with us.

Pictures will be posted up as soon as I get them sorted out. For now, breakfast at Mosman Bay.

The celebration of everything happy

Ideal character

The fact that I am stuck in some silly acounts really irks me. When do I go from here? Yes, they are big high-profile accounts. But I really detest the fact that I have to work with clients that do not understand style and class. All they are running on is a a train of thought that by charging more and providing less, they will make more money. What happened to privilege lifetsyle? When you are entitled to 5 wait-staff serving a table of 5.

Can I consider myself a hospitality guru or something that understands hospitality? However, always working with people that do not understand hospitality. They only know how to flaunt their wealth with no flare for the finner things in life. Sucky stoopid people. Maybe I just need to think myself as someone that is carving a career in hospitality branding and not some fantasy wizard that has the ability to fight Darth Vader. Or maybe I am just Harry Potter that fights against silly clients.

The cosmic gas strikes

Phew! One night down and a few more to go! Last night was a whirlwind of events. Eating and shopping plus clubbing. I have come to realise that the whole point of clubbing only becomes fun when you are with your good ol' friends that share the same passion. Hahaha. The fun factor last night was definately PLAY-ed up with the adrenaline of the city pumping cosmic dust into you. It was how I would say it, superb. However, I must now recuperate on energy after popping a painkiller into me. Hope that I can regain energy for another round of events this evening.

Lah....lah...lah...

Ain't no mountain high enough

"Adrian, your problems ain't big a deal compared to the problems others are facing right now. Rather than sitting around and mull over it? Why not bring out that positive energy and make a difference to the world. There are friends that requires your attention and family that hope for your care. Channel your energy in things that are worth your while."

Show me the entrance

Too often do I get lost on the roads. Sometimes, I wonder if I did it deliberately or was it for a sure fact that I am never good with my directions. I often hoped that I had that GPS instinct that I have with what I want in my life. Always going round in circles on the road is never a good thing. It takes too much energy on my mind and petrol, in summary, I am running out of resources.

This will never do. One thing for sure is that no matter how lost I get, I will still be able to find my way back with that little bit of instinct. "Is this parallel to the way I came here?" My love life is in a wreck now, all that I can think of is you. I am going round in circles for too long and now I am really lost. Hopefully I can find that instinct that will lead me back onto the highway and find my way home soon. That road to peace in my mind and hit on the reset button once more. The strength and courage to start all over again.

Please show me the way onto the highway.

FUCK OFF!

It is finally over. One and a half years of pain and suffering. The pinning for your call has finally come to an end. Tonight was the last straw I can take. Tonight is the night I tell you never to contact me ever again. Tonight will be the night I delete you from my mobile phone listing. And tonight will be the last night I shed a tear for you.

FUCK OFF! And don't let me see you ever again. I really have no wish to suffer pain for you and tolerate with you nonsense.

I took my things and left. And that is the only way to end it. Never have I wasted so much time on something that I hope will happen. Please, DUN CALL ME EVER AGAIN! It will be my gentle plea.

What I saw today was the last straw.

The idea of style

The whole idea of shopping in style starts at The Link Home. You sometimes wonder how a $499 cushion can justify itself. The answer is simple, it is all in the psychological feel of it. When the delivery man greets you at the door with bags of items all carefully packaged to enhance the experience. Simplistic packaging coupled with items branded in some frilly names just makes it all so exciting.



The final outcome of how people with taste will appreciate the luxury lifetsyle. Gold is passe and silver is out, left with earth tones that makes the world go round. Coupled with some colours, green, red and blue. The whole idea of luxe is in the hands of thus.

Me and Mr. Lau

Back to square one. I really need some directions soon.

So typical a flight

My flight has been booked.

ARRIVE Perth on the 26th July, 12.30am- Flight QF 0078

Hoooray!

The party to remember Belvedere

Lust of glam

ALL in the pipeline... ...

The rut rulz

Is there really that someone out there for me? I am startin gto wonder if he even exists. All that I have been is chasing and yearning after someone that I know I will never have. Yes, it has been months since we last met, but I cannot seem to get him outta my mind COMPLETELY. Saying that I am fine is true, but saying that I have gotten him out of the system, that is lie. His face will always flash momentarily when I drive pass the various locations that we spent time together. He is hard to forget!

This is poison in its most potent form. Trying to date, but all that I can compare them with is him. Is there no other way out for me? The shadow that follows me side by side. His SMSes blinks at the most inappropriate time of the day.

At dinner today, I cannot help but feel that twitch in my brows.The logic of someone is thinking of me surfaced. And this same very night, he had to msg me that he is now officially at Tiong Bahru, and well nestled for that matter. Confused, I gave a quick reply and since 30 mins ago, no reply. What is his problem? Or is it basically mine?

Get me outta this rut. Anyone?

That Golden Period

Stumbled upon this invitation card on one of my foresaken mailboxes. Those were the days.

The tatter and balls

The social juices fro within is giving me a boost to break away from my normal lifestyle. This week alone, I have done dinners with sevral groups and I am enjoying it. The dinner this evening was on the topic of how the younger generation can embrace the Peranakan culture. Alan had so much take on how he interprets the survival of a dying minority in SG. The whole idea of making the culture modern and acceptable to the generation.

My contribution to this association was a forum dedicated to the eats. There willl be a cooking page for me and I will be the star chef. Every week, I will post online a recipe that I think will be the favourites of clickers. And slowly, it will evolve into a full length cooking demo that will be posted online. Learn how to be a true chef. For now, I need a whole new title for this page. My first shoot at web-dom. Hahahaha......

To contest the tattler ball, we will also be organising a tatter balls. Hahaha....hopefully this will eventualise soon enough.

Raphael leaves

The happiness in life is having good company over dinner and great drinks. Raphael officially endedis term with IMMORTAL last Friday. I am definately filled with an onslaught of remorse. Even though he was a colleague that never said much, but I enjoyed his dilligence and dedication towards his work. He was always there to support my accounts even when he has the most impossible amount of work.

Bought him and Janet tonight as a form of thank you for being there for me. I will miss him a great deal as he embarks in another chapter of his career in Singapore. Janet is great company as she shares her experience of her life. Her dedication towards the fashion industry and her inrugueing stories always leaves me asking for more. I wonder if I would ever have the chance to end up like her. Conclusively, I can do without the glam factor of being in the industry, just hoping to be surrounded by beautiful things around me. That is what is important to me. Found out as well that my diva boss is actually reknown in the creative circle. So much for always thinking he is the brother of so and so. It is defiately an honour to work with a boss as such. Always being there for me and making things happen with his hands.

What happens tomorrow? We will never know, but cherishing what was today matters more.

I am but a CAR away

There are always the bad days and the good days in one's life. It is how you deal with the bad days and enjoy the good days that matters most. I for one always find difficulty in understanding how do I make the bad day be a good one. Today was no exception. Today, I was told by one of my bosses that I will have to look into taking on a task that was never conveyed to me as part of the "package". Usually, when I am presented with a new task, I greet it with optimism. But this time round, I replied her, "huh?". I could not even believe it myself that the word actually came out. The hilarious reply that surprised even me faded in matters of seconds and left me with a despodent look. Convincing myself that eveything would be ok, I started filling up with anger. Anger that was due to the fact that it was a mere way to push work over to me. If you cannot seem to find replacement for positions, don't push the blame to me! I am not paid to do your job, and for that matter, not well enough even to handle my own.

For now, I just brush it off and hopefully the problem will not come back to me. If it should, there are considerations that needs to be made.

Realising that driving is actually the easiest way ut for me when I am depress, I decide to take the car out for a spin with my favourite tracks blasting against my ear drums. Ended off with a wash at the nearby SPC. It is vey therapeutic to know that I can get "splashed" without etting wet! Hahaha. Suds, water and sponges attacked me but still in one piece. Reflecting on how my life has been in the pass few months was really incredible. I miss my friends scattered all over the world, they are really the best thing that I can wish for. Parties are just parties, but hanging out with true friends and enjoying a cosmopolitan is priceless.

Tomorrow will be a better day or just throw me in the wash.

So Far So Good

After the months of hardwork and relentless pursuits of exceptional perfection, I finally took my well deserved trip to Perth. The whole idea was crazy and unexpected. (So much for planning trips way in advance)

The entire trip was relaxed and very much intune with my mood to chill. Clamouring on the fact that alcohol and gastronomic experiences were the highlights of the trip, I made it clear to my company that it is an essential MUST have. And true to their words, alcohol was on the table for all lunches and dinner. Having said that, the prominent idea of style and panache actally came from my friends. We had so much fun from struting down King's Street to Freedom in Osbourne Park.

The stay on Saunders Street was absolutley fabulous! Designer furniture and bedding could all be found under one roof. Hahaha. So much for budget stay! There were subtle changes in Perth but the whole was left alone. Familiarity was all over with little draps of memories left trap in a vacant space provided.

Pictures will be uploaded after I have completed sorting out all of them. Very glam, very me, very Perth......See you Perth in July when you show us Autumn Winter collection.

Take flight

So it has been confirmed. I am heading to Perth for my well deserved break. Excitement is in the air with me grinning all the way to the toilet. In all seriousness, this is not just any trip for me. As happy as I am ashamed, this will be my first maiden self paid trip out of Singapore. For 25 years, my trips are always paid by my parents. I won't dare say that I have actually earned money enough to pay for a holiday. The past 6 months with Immortal was not the easiest way to earn money. With inching growth, I have understood the difficulty in making money.

Many at my age have already been paying for baby trips out of Singapore but still, this is a trip from my hard earned money. From carrying cartons up 4 storeys to pushing for a higher taste level, not a cent was easy to come by. At this stage, I find myself growing to understand what life is really about. Can never understand when my dad comments that I have actually grown more matured with this job. Have I never been mature? The one thing I find a change with me is my haughtiness just months back. Taken heed to how the world really is, I have to swallow my pride on many occassions. There is never a shorter way out to learn and earn the respect of people. No matter what you have created for yourself in the past, it is back to square one with a new employer. Proving yourself and capabilities, not as easy as attending classes of a unit. It takes patience and sacrificing if not something, everything.

Leaving on a jet plane, not first class but in class of my own and knowing my friends are just as excited as I am.

Thank you to all my friends always being there for me. I will always be there for you, and that is a promise I will not retract.

Fashionista

Lights, camera, pose! The much anticipated Singapore Fashion Festival
finally came to an end. Nights of soiree and runway strutting still
etched into my memory. Spiralling on the beauty of the models and the
clothes that held tightly onto international standards make me just
want to do it altogether one more time. Now, for the low down on the 4
runway spectacle.

alldressedup

Nothing can beat Sven
Tan’s Autumn/Winter collection. Who said that autumn is generally
depicted by hues of what the season brings? This collection came across
as fun and dynamic. After winning 2005 Singapore Young designer award,
her collection was all bought over by Fashion socialite Tina Tan Leo.
After her intern at Milan for 1 year, this girl came back with a
vengeance and showed that Singapore designers has the X-factor long ago
though to only be found in European labels.

More fun than
ever, the whole look was based on stripes of varying colours. One piece
dresses coupled with over-sized jackets, it was the best amalgam of
London’s hottest fashion craze.

Choreography was tight with
models exuding fun variables on their faces. The first track was
however the most appropriate. Funky!

Runway Rating: 4.5/5

The Link

A last minute invitation from Stanley told me that this was definitely not a pre-arranged line up on the organisers list. The reception at this runway show was ess
than a normal socialite crowd expected from an event held by The Link
boutique. After all, the only people remotely capable of owning even a
handbag from there must be of a certain social class. Not that I am
even close to owning something from them, but I am just gad being able
to share in their latest collection.

The attendance lingered at
80%, reason was a concurrent social event at The Fullerton Hotel. A
charity ball in benefit for children suffering from cancer.

The
4 major brands from The Link, was brought to light. They were all fresh
from the runway show in Paris. How exciting is that?Etro had a few pieces of menswear with Roberto Cavalli showing off dresses that were more avant garde
and dramatic. The clothes were less memorable than the previous but I
guess it was a show with loose pieces and trying to tie them together
was not the easiest thing.

Runway Rating: 4/5

TAFf

All
hail Singapore designers! A show in bid to celebrate the passion and
camaraderie of Singapore designers. From Frederick Lee to LeslieChia, the show was all red and happy. Choreography was starkly different from al the shows that I have seen. It was how should put it, unorthodox. They had models making a grand entrance on Vespas
and the whole collection presented all in the eyes of the audience at a
go. I still say a yes to the show. There were even screaming fans when
the designers strutted the runway.Junita Simons was seen in the most dramatic dress by Frederick.

Runway Rating: 4/5

Woods & Woods

As excited as I was, the show was less than expected. From my previous
experience, Jonathan’s shows are usually crisp and interesting. This
time, it was interesting but CANNOT SEE!

The setting was in black, with a DJ right at the centre, back of the runway. Playing the
hip tunes of club music, the only source of light came from a spotter.
Audiences at the back end were not able to see what was going on. Thank
goodness I was still seated on the 4th row and was able to make up what
was happening. The whole thing must have looked damn good on TV. But
don’t think it works with a live audience. His designs and tailoring
were still as sharp and interesting as ever. The only drawback was how
the show was put together. Not forgetting that I waited 1 and a half
hours before I was seated. Nightmare!

Runway Rating: 3/5

Can I shop in HK, please?

I simply adore my new pen. Thanks to my dear mum, she bought me this lovely pen while she was in HK. Hahaha....she was so certain that I would like it. And true enough, it was divine. Better than the Meistruck series, the Boheme was class above the rest. Not too garish but with subtle class. I like!



Thanks mum!

The Client

What happens when you do not have love but only work in your life?

ANS: A client that thinks you are great and a life that no one notices.

Surprise, surprise, and I thought that only 6 months into my job, there is no such thing as harmony between your client and yourself. My client actually remembered my birthday and bought me a box of GODIVA chocs. I think that it is the sweetest gesture yet from them and I just feel appreciated. Even when they are my clients, they are generous enough to remember that I am working on the day after my birthday. I could have been like my colleagues and requests for leave the day or the day after your bitrhday. I hardly have the option of leaving work as meeting after meetings has been planned. Back to back for that matter. Maybe my absence for a day would caused more chaotic sequences when I return.

Nonethless, it is still a box of chocs. Shared it with my colleagues and that is what is important. Happiness should be shared and never kept to yourself. That is the beauty of sharing.

Thank you Vivien, Cynthia and Fei Fei.

Happy Birthday to Moi!

The celebrations continued from a party at Emmanuel Stroobant's latest edition to his family of renown restaurants. I have to say that the food at Brussels Sprouts was less than expected. The concept was casual and outdoorsy, with beer being the staple of the restaurant. Pork Belly, Sirloin steak, Poached chicken, Signature mussels were the gala for the evening accompanied with a platter of sides that made us yearned for more. The sound of clinking cutlerys and mishaps formed a musical backdrop not so frequently seen. The air was what you would find in a typical pay and eat restaurant, it was the chic, Jaime Oliver style.

Glamourously beautiful, the company of 3 made the evening one that will be hard to forget.

A whole lot of wishes

A telly for the day of wishes from my beloved friends and family. I have never done this before, but I suppose it is a good try for this year. If not, I will just erase all the smses that I received this year and forget that it ever happened.

The above is in order of earliest.

Birthday yet again

Just past midnight and I am in a contemplative mood. Should I have headed out to celebrate something that happens ony once a year to me or maybe keeping it sweet and simple is the way to go? Nonetheless, I made sure that the eve to the birthday was spent with understanding that I will do only things that will make me happy.

Dinner with IC and C at Hongkong Cafe. It just seemed that he never left Singapore but was so busy with the workouts at the gym that we have not met in months. I am glad that he is back and looking forward to spending some time with him. Did drinks with IM and SC at this new funky place, Wild Oats. The wow factor of the bar would have to be the ID and ambience setting. Chic and modern, the bar exudes old charm that has been forgotten by the people in Singapore. The only problem was transport and some mozzies that did not spare my friends and I.

For now, I will just have to be contented with air-conditioning and my lappie to spend the early part of my birthday. Hope that age will not change my optimism for life and this year will be a better year than the last. All aside, I am just grateful for the friends around me. =)

Launch of Love Seat

Karim Rashid has always been an inspiration to my life. His designs not ony exudes practicality but style at the same time. As reluctant as I was from the duties of work, I still made it a point to attend his party. Not for the sole reason that he is Karim Rashid, but also for the fact that it is also the first event of my very good friend. Why not? Free flow of champagne to the company of friends.

As much as I thought he might just be a humble guy to the people around him, he was basically busking himself in breasts and his very own champagne. I would have rather not seen him in such a context. His diva attitude might have gotten him to where he is now. He actually brawled at a couple of people who were actually not so keen in what he has to say. Oh well, if you were what he is, I suppose you could get away with anything.

Was happy to have met up with some old time colleagues as well as media friends. I always meet them under such occassions. Fun I must say.

A well done party by my great friends. A toast to the love seat.

If.Know.So

You try to tell me that someone is interested in you? Is that suppose to mean anything to me? Are you expecting me to respond to that kind of pressure or are u simply making checking if I might have something for you? If you are even remotely keen why not just tell me? Or if you do know my interest, why not clear it? A wonder how something so simpy can be so complicated. If only I knew what is in your mind.

It is out there

Just realised that the type that I am looking for is out there. They are just hiding away from the glaring lights of the city. What goes from you is a pack of uncertainty. But I have met a perfect ideal type that wowed me away with bed talks and probably romance.

The likes and dislikes

Sometimes you wonder if things happen for a reason. What should I do with a situation like this? Have I found someone that I can love or is it simply infatuation? There is a need to justify my thoughts and be sure that I am level headed before initiating anything.

Another Vaentine's Day

Dramatic pursuit for love will never find you the love of your life. Aiyah, wonder if I will still be able to find a lover next time this year......hmmm....

where have you been?

This has been the longest time since I left my blog alone. At least a whopping 3 months since my last entry. I have absolutely no excuse for not penning down my thoughts, as it has been a very tough 3 months. I felt pain and often enough the frustrations of life. 2006 came and left without me realizing and January left in a haste leaving the tracks of unwanted footprints.

A few birthdays of good friends came and went and now I call the semester to an end. Full concentration on adjusting my life back to the days of loneliness and often enough-quiet nights alone at the cinema.

New venues sprouted like funguses over night with tear drops from the skies. Relationships shattered and friendship made in the months meant countless ups and downs in the heart. Is life so complicated? Can’t it be ACTUALLY SIMPLE? Like how the sun never fails to rise and set when it ought to.

A toast to friendship!
