How Far Would You Go for Shoes?

Adidas Originals by Originals JS Wings sneakers in black In my case, quite far, as long as I like them! About a month back some time around wee hours in the morning, I was going through CocoPerez.com, the sister site to PerezHilton.com, which focuses mainly on fashion and the hottest trends around and I stumbled across these marvelous pair of Adidas sneakers. Turn out, it was designed collaboratively by Jeremy Scott for Adidas Originals by Originals (ObyO) line. And he has designed other shoes for Adidas before this as well such as this quirky three-tongue shoe: But I really got my eyes on the winged pair. I'd be so fly with them, literally! The winged pair comes in 5 designs, which are in black, silver, gold, white and rainbow mash-up. Kanye West has donned the white one earlier this year and I got my eyes on the silver or gold ones. Well, before I got it, I went nuts about it. The picture of the gold pair was my desktop wallpaper and I kept telling everyone how fabulous they are.

8TV Quickie Audition

Among all of the things which I had done, perhaps this one required me to really have some balls. Not that I don't have any, by the way... They say, life is a box of chocolate and you never know what you're going to get. At least, that's what Forrest Gump said. So, I decided to play trick or treat with my box of chocolate. so I chose to jump and conquer my cold feet of public auditioning. Of course, in times like this best friends come in handy to offer you some much-needed support and laugh at your silliness. That's why on one Saturday morning, all four of us come together and decided to test our luck. The morning starts with quick take-away drinks for Ayi and I before we headed to Taman Tun Dr Ismail and picked up Miss Hana Amira for the audition in Sri Pentas, Bandar Utama. Though we arrived somewhat around 10.30am, the queue had already built up with about 39 people trying to secure their spot. I got number 40 and Hana got number 41. Script guidelines Miss 41 Mr Sup

Le Tour de East Coast

Woah. It's that time of the year again - exams. You can't blame me for not updating this lot for quite some time. I have so many things to share but some of it is too irrelevant to put up by now. One of the most exciting things that has happened lately (no, not Beyonce's concert) has got to be my recent trip to the east coast with my entire brood. Mom, dad, big bro and big sis as well as the accompanying toddlers - everyone was in. Exams coming up but since they were really pushing the tour before my papers, I have no qualms but to oblige. Why not escape the city for 4 days and venture into the eastern peninsular side for a little me-time? So on October 16, we kickstarted the tour with a trip to Cherating. I've never been there before and gladly I have to say, Cherating got my heart. The place was serene and (no need to mention) beautiful, not too crowded or commercialized and the beach was as clean as hotel towels- at least in where I stayed. My brother and sis-in-law

What the Eff is This?

Just when you thought Malaysian royalties/elites couldn't get any more douche/stupid/vain/all of the above, here's one to put the light on your head. I was religiously going through my daily need of celebrity news on PerezHilton.com when I encountered this . A mysterious Malaysian has reportedly thrown a small (in size, not the expenditure) party for Lindsay Lohan 23rd birthday party at the Angel Ball in 10ak, New York. Okay, there are some fucked up mess in this story: 1. It's not even Lindsay Lohan's birthday. Her birthday was on July 2. 2. Why would you throw a party for a celeb-retard like Lindsay Lohan? Above all, the guests were entertained with 23 bottles of Cristal Champagne and another 23 bottles of the same label afterwards. In case you don't watch E! Channel, Cristal Champagne is one of the most expensive ones out there, ranging from $300 to $500 per bottle. Gasp. And that same Malaysian was bidding $100,000 on a pair of Lorraine Schwartz earrings (yes, t

Nike Dunk High Premium

Nike Dunk High Premium in White, Yellow, Tangerine and Emerald. I had a rather rough week. You must have guessed it from those rather poignant posts below. So many things happened unexpected and too many things to be completed in so little time. In times like this, what else comforts me better than my most favorite item on the planet - shoes. I was cruising around SoleWhat store and Juice (the Edison Chen's boutique in Bangsar Baru) with Ayi and came across some hot, hot pairs. Unfortunately they were all of Adidas Originals by Originals designed by KZK and Jeremy Scott. Translation: expensive. Definitely out of budget for the time being. Anyway, not all the pretty ones are that expensive. This one fits our budget and certainly, fits our taste as well. Especially, my taste. Quirky, silly, fun yet stylish and ultra glam. This one comes in 4 different colors altogether in one single pair, namely white, midnight navy, radiant emerald and varsity tangerine. I have to say, I'm reall

Lamenting

Why would someone who wants a perfectly simple life, ended up having a more complicated one than any other people? The more I try to make things easier the more damage I seemed to do. The higher my determination to make things work, the faster it all go astray. Why oh why? I seem even better in screwing things up than pulling everything together. I can't even get a single thing straight without damaging it beyond repair. Am I really up for this? Or should I just get it over with? But how? I'm totally wrecked. I damage myself. Again.

A Stranger in Paradise

Hello there, please take my hand I'm just a stranger in your Eden land Now do come and get to know me Though you might not like what you'll see I'm a lost soul wandering Searching for something, I think Looking, searching and fighting forlorn I felt it was behind me but now it's gone Are you alone here as well, stranger? In quest for triumph and madness altogether? Don't you know that it wouldn't make sense To love and let die at the end? See this face, it's not mine You make believe of the things that you find I don't know who I am, stranger Perhaps you too are clueless of who you were But don't worry We are fine We are just giddy From our restless mind You'll learn to love me and I hope to see that You'll know what angry is, and so is sad They are just some of me of what you'll see As I told you before, it's not always pretty Know me now before we depart So half of me will never be apart Stay with me until comes the dawn Then rememb

PC Game - Tomb Raider: Underworld

When I first saw its review in a newspaper some time late last year/early this year, I was jumping up and down anxiously waiting to get a hold of it myself. The article was gracious on positive remarks regarding this latest installment of Tomb Raider and when I finally had the chance to experience the gameplay myself, I know they really deserve the positive feedback. Just when I thought Miss Lara Croft couldn't get any better (after playing the previous installment - Tomb Raider: Anniversary), she certainly up-leveled herself. The most notable and profound improvement has got to be the stunning, stunning visual. Everything comes alive in Underworld. The whole environment is meticulously designed to make it as realistic as possible. The trees now sway, the leaves moves, raindrops seem real, lighting effects now follow its source and so does the shadow and many more upgrades. It was really worth waiting for two years. For those who chose not to play Tomb Raider due to its numerous m

An Interesting Quote

"I often see that people are frightened of fashion ... because whatever that makes them insecure, they put it down. On a whole, people that say demeaning things about fashion, I think, is because they feel in some way excluded. So, as the result, they just mock it . There is something about fashion that can make people very nervous." - Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue in 'The September Issue' ...and I can't agree more with her.

Being Single Means not Married

While laying in bed last night, waiting for the next boat to LaLaLand, my mind wandered and an episode of Sex and the City flashed in my mind. I'm not sure whether it's from Season 5 or 6 but I do remember it's title: 'A Woman's Right to Shoes'. Yeah, men can relate to it as well. No shit. In the episode, Carrie goes to a friend's house for a baby shower/baby birthday party/baby welcoming party (I forgot the occasion) with her best friend, Stanford. Upon arriving, they had to take off their shoes before entering as the host is such a germ-phobic. So, like it or not she had to leave her silver 'd'Orsay' Manolo Blahniks (picture above) outside and as the party ended, no surprise, the shoes gone missing. The interesting part, and the core of the episode, is how her friend - the host - reacts. Instead of apologizing and offering to pay her back for the shoes ($545), she gave Carrie a sort of cynical sermon on why Carrie shouldn't spend so much mo

This is Why My Dad (and Mom) Rocks

God knows how long I've been moaning and groaning about a new PC. Seriously, the lappy which I 'inherited' from my sister is better off thrown into the sea and be made into artificial reef. Not that I'm not grateful, but standing at less than 512 RAM and less than 70Gb hard disk drive, its time has well passed. Besides, each time I brought it to any dealer or service center for repair or to reformat, they gave me a silly chuckle and refused to take it. Yes, it is that old. Since I'm not that kind of person who totes his lappy around, I guess its better for me to get a desktop PC which comes in much lower price but greater spec. Thankfully God has mercy on this bad servant of His and my dad has some pity on me. But he had drawn the line - only under RM2000. So I went around, cruising for new desktop PC. Cineleisure, Low Yat Plaza, Sungei Wang Plaza, Mid Valley Megamall - you name it. But in the end, I chose this Dell Inspiron 545s which was bought in Dell authorised

PC Game - Zuma Revenge!

For those who already had the chance to play and know its predecessor, Zuma, this one will only make you pant even harder. Those who haven't, I suggest you take a time off from anything that you're doing now and play this simple but addictive game. I don't know when it was even released but I just found it couple of days ago and happy to say, I LOVE IT. In Zuma Revenge, our favorite heroic frog gets stranded in a remote land and, no surprise, isn't welcomed by the natives there, including the land's six spirits. Unlike in the previous version, in this one you have to face each stage's 'boss' before you could move on to the next one. Don't worry, it's not even that hard if you're an accomplished Zuma gamer. No big deal, really. Some of the screenshots with tremendous improvements from the earlier version. Impressive, yes? One of the bosses I had to face thus far. The graphic has definitely improved a lot. There are even new power-ups, livelier
