visual inspiration.

I’m so bogged down with study, I really got nothing interesting to say.
I have been constantly typing up study notes, so I’ll use some bullet points here. ha!
* Wanting to convert to Blogger because of WP’s lack of flash support. I wanted to maybe embed slideshows from Flickr, but WP fails in that aspect.
* Hearing the hype around Google Wave makes me wanna try it. A MSN killer I hear? Only if it supports signing up with different email IDs, or if the incentive is big enough for everyone to switch to google. Currently its invitation only as its still in the process of being tested: GOOGLE WAVE.
* Extremely tempted to procrastinate. Found this: WIX.COM Save for the holidays me thinks.
* Getting uber excited about holidays (yes, too soon) – HK + Thailand? Taiwan? Japan?
* WhatTheBuck cracks me up big time!

invisible man.

A very interesting collection by Liu Bolin, a contemporary chinese artist, who has cleverly painted himself to blend into his surroundings – like a ‘human chameleon’. In an interview, Liu claims he spends up to 10 hours on a single photograph. He was inspired by the sense of feeling like a social outcast.
“Some people call me the invisible man, but for me it’s what is not seen in a picture which is really what tells the story,” Mr Bolin told the UK’s Telegraph.

Gucci Fall Winter 09/10 Campaign.

The Making of Gucci Fall Winter 09/10 Campaign.

Overall, the shoot looks amazing. The models are very…unique. The male model at 1:41, Lord Ferdenon (?) is doing a bit of a Draco Malfoy style slash vampire – actually he nearly looks bald because his skin is the same colour as his hair. Another standout is Mona at 1:59. Just looking at the structure of her face, she seems quite masculine. Anyone agree??? Next is Christian at 2:32……. somebody give the guy some food!! This is no dissing, but admiration for the casting. Each of them have this look that lures you in. Love the ending – so dark, mysterious and artistic.

A short film about communication.
Communication is probably the most important thing in any relationship.

The music composition gives the pictures even more emotion.
Take some time to watch it to the end.

Amazing what love can do to a person.

deadline.

This project was filmed by some design students using post-it notes.
The process would’ve been so fun and the outcome looks awesome.

MUJI.

A store I really miss from HK/Japan is MUJI! They have everything there and gets me excited just like going to IKEA here, but better! MUJI emphasizes minimalistic designs, environmentally friendly & recycled products, and a strict ‘no-brand’ policy. The designs are dominantly simplistic yet classic. MUJI pretty much has all the essentials: basic fashion, home ware, bags, stationary, travels, bath & body care, furniture and electronics. I am going to raid the Hong Kong Store when I’m back. I love minimalism!

A second Max Brenner Chocolate Cafe has opened at Robina Town Centre at the Gold Coast. I’ve yet to go to the one at Marina Mirage, but apparently Robina’s is bigger. Actually, I think ‘Max Brenner’ (i.e. Oded Brenner) himself was there to check out his new cafe; although I know not every bald guy with an earring is him, but he was having abit of a chat with the staff and even took a group photo & I don’t think any bald guy would be taking photos with staff. [Confirmed - google searched him; Max Brenner is actually founded by Max Fichtman and Oded Brenner, but Max Fictman is no longer associated with the Max Brenner cafe chain.]

Love everything about it: the exterior, wooden interior, the logo & of course the food and drinks.

team autobots. 100th POST!!

So the holidays are finally rolling. Actually, most of my time is spent on trying to catch up with all the stuff I’ve missed while hiding out during the semester. Sad.

Bee and I went to watch Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen at gold class. We hadn’t come across a movie worth going to gold class for… until now. Straight after the movie, we said we’ll go watch it a second time before it stops showing on the big screen. Whole movie was hotness~~ Shia…Megan…Optimus Prime (esp the scene where he merges with another…all that metal rawwrrrr) XD

Oh, and we bought the DVD of the first Transformers movie straight after.

IT’S OFFICIAL!!
