Days of Delirium

On this Halloween Day, I'd like to dedicate a post to my most talk-about shoes - the JS Wings. The black pair turns one today, while the grey metallic pair is only a few days old. So, here are some celebrity photos wearing various versions of this quirky sneakers which I've managed to gather all around the net. Due to size constraint, some are not put up here (like the ones worn by Drake and Lil Wayne). Not that I care much about those celebs anyway but just for fun . Happy birthday, wings. To Mr Jeremy Scott, you're a genius. ... and the designer himself, Jeremy Scott

Okay, I have to admit I'm a little over the moon about this one. It has been almost a year since I got my pair of Adidas Originals by Originals JS Wings sneakers in black, which was somewhere around 2009 Halloween. That pair is, perhaps, my most talk-about shoes among those who know me or have read this blog. They don't care about my other pairs, they just wanted to know " Where are the winged shoes? " Just my luck, as I was strolling around Pavilion on Monday afternoon, I saw these new version of JS Wings in silver reflective metallic. You guessed it right - I couldn't take my eyes off it. This pair would be the seventh version of the highly successful JS Wings line, after the gold, white, silver, black, rainbow and Swarovski-studded versions. It is a part of Adidas x Jeremy Scott Fall/Winter 2010 collection which had just debuted in Malaysia - get this - two hours before I dropped by the store. It is only available in Adidas Originals store in Pavilion KL. So ...

Tok Tot and Little Kye (age 3) in 1990 Tok Tot was my grandmother's nickname, given for her small physique (' ketot ' means 'dwarf'). I never really thought she was small anyway and I always questioned why her friends (or her family) gave her that name. I wonder if those people were any bigger/taller than her. She had passed away eight years ago on this very date - October 25, at the age of 85. My grandma was one hella woman. Tok Tot was the only person, perhaps, whom I share much resemblance. I have a soft spot of imitating people's gestures and voices, often being misunderstood for my 'honest' opinions, prefer to be alone most of the time and never learn how to take 'No' for answer - just like her. I still remember spending every Raya eve in her big, august kampong house and listened to her stories about everything - from her days during the Japanese occupation to how my mother was when she was little. Even our weekends were mostly spent on her...

People dream because it's free Won't cost you money Won't cost your energy Some say it's a therapy In any way you wish or see Some dream of a prince charming Kneeling on the ground and hand out a ring White horse with armor shimmering And say sweet words, sweet things Some dream of big cars To take them around near and far Rolling around in Porsche or Maserati Maybe Escalade or in luxury MPV Going anywhere carelessly Picking up speed tickets like they're free Turning heads everywhere in the city Some dream about lots of money They want to be rich, they want to be wealthy Maybe even richer than Oprah Winfrey Live in Monaco, drives a Bentley They believe that will make them happy What's your dream? Ever had any? Do you have a place you want to see? What's my dream - if you ever ask me, There's only one and ever will be That I'll live long enough to be thirty. -K- October 18, 2010 11.16pm

Two years ago, after successfully being frugal (some of the time) and saved up our coins dime by dime, my hommie and I managed to buy a digital camera. It cost us about RM1300 then but now you can get digital cameras with more than 10 megapixel for much, much less. Just what a difference two years can make. This year, after months of saving - only coins - we have managed to exchange it for another good. Since I have always been a game junkie ( which most people have hard time to believe ) and Ayi got smitten playing in one of his relative's house during the past Raya, we got ourselves a nice Xbox 360! Yay! * performs somersault * Actually we had wanted a PlayStation 3 instead (which costs almost the same as an Xbox 360) but PS3 only plays original CDs. And the original CDs are all in BluRay. And BluRay means expensive - I don't want to shell out some hundred bucks for ONE game just to find out it sucks big time. Since PS3 is not a feasible option, we decided to go with Xbox 3...

If Days of Delirium were a diary sitting on my already dust-ridden shelf, it would definitely be entangled with cobwebs and whatnots due to the long abstinence. My mind was boggling with the many things I wished to share here but I couldn't seem to drag fingers to run onto this keyboard. Whether you have missed me or not, I am back again. Yay? My blog wouldn't be completed without some rants every now and then, would it? So here I am again to deliver my thoughts across and tell me what you feel about this. I don't have many friends but some of the 'non-friends' consider me as their friend (isn't it weird?). The reason why I don't really acknowledged them as friends because - well - they whine too much. Yep. They kept on whining and whining and whining every single day and I can't stand whiners. Then again, maybe not everyday but most of the days. They just have things they would love to whine. They whine about loneliness. They whine about how ugly they a...
