Garance Doré, Sartorialist

Some of my favorite pieces from Garance Doré and the Sartorialist.

KT Tunstall

Ah good old times. Love ya, Tunstall.

Bio

Did a super duapai bio for the Gradbook. hahah

Bio of yourself (below 40 words):

Someone once mentioned,
"Architecture is about making the common people happy."
We are the team of people with boundless imagination and skills to make their dreams come true.

Singapore, I am here to carve out your dreams.

Working hard

"There is always someone out there who is better than you. But that’s why you train so that you can beat those who didn’t work as hard as you."

HK Streets

Peel Street, Hong Kong
by Urban Sketcher, Paul Wang

HK streets are always like an old man whose been thru endless histories, every turn is a character and has a story to tell. Like the scenes in WKW films, I love them.

If only our Chinatown havent been restored and colored in rainbow shades.

You know what sucks..

Hey! I can relate, Tom.

Come away with me

The scenes, the smell, the touch. It still feels like yesterday..

And when I go to sleep now, Come Away With Me will soon ring throu my dreams, I'll hear your voice again and wake up to a brand new day. I probably never told you how much I love your morning voice. The best thing I ever wanted to start my day with. And if it's a better day, I get to spend it with you, you.

But today, and today, today, I am alone. The same ringtone will never sound throu the pillow side. It will perhaps never sound again.

I dont care if its been a month.

And I've truly nothing to recap about 2010.
I'm still living in the yesterdays.
Yes, tonight is about yesterday again..

This April, gonna say bye to

達爾文

作詞：小寒　作曲：蔡健雅

我的青春　也不是沒傷痕
是明白愛是信仰的延伸
什麼特徵　人緣還是眼神
也不會預知愛不愛的可能

保持單身　忍不住又沉淪
兜著圈子來去 又是苦等
人的一生　感情是旋轉門
轉到了最後真心的就不分

有過競爭　有過犧牲　被愛篩選過程　
學會認真　學會忠誠　適者才能生存　
懂得永恆　得要我們　進化成更好的人

我的青春　有時還蠻單純
相信幸福取決於愛的深
讀進化論　我贊成達爾文
沒實力的就有淘汰的可能

我的替身　已換過多少輪
記憶在舊情人心中變冷
我的一生　有幾道旋轉門
轉到了最後只剩你我沒分

懂得永恆　得要我們 進化成更好的人　

進化成更好的人

看。开

看开。Like how mom always teach me.

But, I will never forget you as the pathetic guy with no balls to apologise.

Gonna stay away, till I can finally face everything again.. that should help.

六月二十四日 天气阴沉

魔术师们的高帽子，

在荒野召开大会，

他们决定一起施展魔法，

然世上所有寂寞的人，

全都能快乐的在一起。

一阵狂风吹来，

打乱了他们的节奏，

帽子如落叶般随风四处飘散，

只留下寂寞的人在风中大声叹息。

－又寂寞又美好﹐ 機米

Stay Real

Stay Real all the way from Taiwan!

Thanks Tongtong!!

What you are

Love Jewel.

A flower is a flower,

it doesnt need to know how to bloom

Light is light,

just knows how to fill the room.

And dark is dark,

so the stars have a place to shine

The tide goes out

so it can come back another time.

Goodbye makes hello so sweet

and Love is love so it can teach us

we are already are

what we are,

what we are..

is beautiful.

no love, no glory

Why you have to deny every single thing, like I've never lived.
Thats not how you play this game, you cheated.. and im left to pick up the pieces.

Budak Pantai

Awesome guys from Budak Pantai!
Mike was so cute, he forgot and signed our albums twice. & had to repeatedly tell his mistake to the other member counting the signatures. Yes they helped us count the signatures, "you're missing Kah Keh, wait i go get him sign." Haha! Very.. human guys/uncles! They definately deserved to be Singapore Cultural icon lah!

Dear Friend

"忽然發現心動跟心痛只是一線之間.

想要自私的祝福自己, 希望下一次心動時不會再心痛."

Winterleague came and gone again.

But I still remember this, from a friend I'll probably never meet once more.

幸福

“没有幸福，只有自由与平静。”

那幸福是设么。。

Country Strong

I have weathered

Colder winters; Longer summers

Without a drop of rain

Push me in a corner

And I'll come out fighting

I may lose but I 'll always keep my faith

Cause I'm country strong

Hard to break

Like the ground I grew up on

You may fool me

And I'll fall

But I won't stay down long

Cause I'm country strong

I wish i have a piece of you.

Something that would at least ease a tad bit of the loss I'm made to go through every night. Something that I can hold on to and feel your warmth, before the chill of true hard fact hits in. That things may not go back to where we've left them, that this may be the abrupt end to the long run and everything hopeful.
Some nights, I stay up hating you bringing me through these. Some nights, I break down and miss you. Lately, I decided to look out of the picture and take whatever's coming my way. Took years of humiliation to master that, now Im pretty good at it.

Maybe I need that piece of you. maybe, maybe I don't..

Good time, for a change

Eugene got me this awesome archi presentation book! I love it!
This time, im really gonna work hard, hard, hard. *Huge warm hugs* to everyone there. You guys gave me a new meaning to life. :)
To dad, to mommy, to the siblings, to everyone who cares. I love you. <3
Thanks for listening to me, being there guilding me through this almost despair period. Camy, Jassie Png. Im blessed with angels by my side. :)

You were never there, it hurts, i still cry. But what am i to say its wrong to do so, right..

The Lovely Bones

"These were the lovely bones that had grown around my absence: the connections — sometimes tenuous, sometimes made at great cost, but often magnificent — that happened after I was gone. And I began to see things in a way that let me hold the world without me in it.

The events my death brought were merely the bones of a body that would become whole at some unpredictable time in the future. The price of what I came to see as this miraculous lifeless body had been my life."

Crazy BP

Sight of it makes me crazzzeh!!

And I've still got my drainage undone!

And the radio's playing Feilunhai omg. Im going crazy.

Giam He

我不好也不壞　不特別出眾　我只是敢不同
我的人生就是　一錯再錯　錯完了再從頭

也許放棄掉一些　活得更輕鬆　我卻不再是我
我不願一生　曬太陽吹風　鹹魚也要有夢

有一天有我的天空

Change

Woke up to a brand new day.

Time to change.

♥

To one of the most awesome person in my life,

HAPPY BIRTH DAYYYY GIRL!!!!!!!

TO 12 YEARS OF FRIENDSHIP, TO BEING THE TOUGHEST GIRL I'VE EVER SEEN. TO ALL THE MAYDAY SONGS WE SING SCREAM AND YELL.

所有悲伤现在停止，重新开始。

Alcohol

Theres a reason why i dont drink. I hate the feeling of losing control of yourself. So much for the discipline to hold up your values, avoiding things that'll get you regret every moment after. Not getting carried away by alcohol is just a resposibility for yourself, for the parents, all the time they spent to nuture you. They say you are the real you when you're drunk, but whose not self-centered, vulgar and crazy. Guarded by moral and rationality - losing them, we are all the same isnt it.
As much as I dislike drinking, I dont like to see my love ones getting carried away by alcohol. Period.

Two

Cant believe Alvin waited 2 hours under my place to surprise me with this new Taiwanese bubbletea he found. Only to miss me walking pass to take e lift up! And my super suay phone got flat during the hours. Hahaha! Still it really really warms my heart.
Heres to the 2nd month! =)

Best thing when your favourite bands are good friends.
You get all these awesome collaborations! Heheh.

思念总是让我受困 脱不了身
我摸黑找不到 回家的路程


最近感觉握紧在手中的东西 一直不断得流失。。

Aubrey

And Aubrey was her name,
A not so very ordinary girl or name.
But whos to blame?
For a love that wouldnt bloom
For the hearts that never played in tune.
Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing,
Take away the words that rhyme it doesnt mean a thing.

And Aubrey was her name.
We triped the light and danced together to the moon,
But where was june.
No it never came around.
If it did it never made a sound,
Maybe I was absent or was listening to fast,
Catching all the words, but then the meaning going past,

But God I miss the girl,
And Id go a thousand times around the world just to be
Closer to her than to me.

And Aubrey was her name,
I never knew her, but I loved her just the same,
I loved her name.
Wish that I had found the way
And the reasons that would make her stay.
I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest.
If I cant have the one I want, I’ll do without the best.

But how I miss the girl
And Id go a million times around the world just to say
She had been mine for a day.

Over the holiz

Made up my little piece of garden!

Now i can say, Sagethegardener gardens! Hahahaha.

Architekture

6 more months, and im out of it.

午夜三點 風雨交加

路邊攤　我和她　電影散場

路邊攤　雨棚下　聊到打烊

那一秒以為　她跟我的故事　

世界上最偉大

我愛她　那個暑假

Its always this time into the nights, I start regretting my decisions. Fark.

才發現 已經過了一生

不眠

作詞：楊明學 作曲：范瑋琪

7點10分 清晨時分 慵懶的氣氛

睡不著 醒不了 我又失了魂

我枯坐著 望著日輪

卻以為是黃昏

鳥嗚聲 讓我回神

才發現 已經過了一生

浮浮沉沉 假假真真

為誰辛苦 為誰認真

為何努力 為何犧牲

拼了再拼 忍了又忍

還是欲望 這種本能

會讓人忘了 有多心疼

只是不知 無論如何

到了最後 還不是一個人

到了最後 才發現不是 一個人

One of my favourite piece.

Rest in peace, 楊明學。

(500) Days of Summer

It sure is not a love story. But well, in the end you realize how bold and nicely imperfect the whole story is. Show you all the shits you're tricked into thinking what are the most beautiful things in the world, to find the next day everything is but what you were all over the moon bout.
How Love pricks and breaks your heart, but eventually that right one will still come along.

Anyway I love how they played Carla Bruni and Regina Spektor throu the film. How they spoke bout Octopus Garden and Ringo Starr. I love them!

"Its a monster thing!"

Cutest thing ever!! :D

Adriana Lima sketch

Yay, finally done with Adriana Lima's sketch. So sad i realize the eyes too late, couldnt change it by the time. Took a new technique to do the facial shades, am always afraid showing the strokes might make the skin seem too rough. But it turned out pretty well! Tempted to start on a Zooey Deschanel soon!

She & Him

Falling in love with Zooey Deschanel.

Give me half a year.

I'll show you i deserve the number on my back. That giving me this number is never a mistake. That im here, for no other reason, but to play ultimate and become a player i never see myself as one year ago.

Next Singopens, I wanna be your first 7.

Sing Opens 2010

Last pic for Gwen Ambler. :)10 more hours to first match.

Never dared to say this, but im prepared!

Tomorrow, I'll sleep well. We'll all sleep well.
Cant wait to cheer our awesomely kawaii cheer!! :D

少年骑士，冲啊!

跟记忆迎面交集

極限
词:葛大为/徐佳莹 曲:徐佳莹

對占星執迷 需要空洞 的鼓勵
才認清自己 逞強終究 只是逃避
放棄止痛劑 跟記憶 迎面交集
我依然堅持 回到家才哭泣

我的極限 就到這裡 就算永遠 不能痊癒
太害怕安靜 所以習慣 自言自語
你的極限 也在這裡 別跨越 我失序的心
如果我是你 會更殘酷離去

副作用不明 但意志 還算清醒
我真的慶幸 不曾自我否定

我的極限 就到這裡 早該禁止 繼續沉溺
在崩潰前夕我會承認 我已失去
你的極限 也在這裡 收回 最後一次感性
如果我是你 不會浪費同情

我的極限 就到這裡 早該禁止 繼續沉溺
在崩潰前夕 我要承認 我已失去
你的極限 也在這裡 收回 最後一次感性
如果我是你 我會同情自己

29 August 2010

You say you like stress, it pushes you to give your best.

我 也就這一次

放肆了 瘋狂一次。

Open up a side, step out of the square and look.

Now it only feels everything boils down to a most fundamental question..

名偵探敗給心上人

HAHA NEW ALBUM! Uh definately strange with just 3 of them. But really, not alot would weigh education over rising fame. Yeah way to go Ada! 这才宇宙啦!

第36個故事

一頁台北

“聽說, 巴黎是個戀愛的城市, 我在想, 那台北呢?”

台北也许是梦的开始吧。

空虚的夜晚，又听起苏打绿的左边 设法凭空想象你家乡的清晨会是设么感觉。会像歌里 那么沉默，诗意吗。。

每次听苏打绿和陈绮贞都很有感触，想是身处在世界最远的角落，还没被拍卖的角落。

那角落也许是心灵的修行，但我也相信最简单的环境捏造最简单的心灵。

梦想去台湾，感受最单纯的音乐，文章，画作。

梦想 静静的生活。。

SPU

Theres a reason why i still wear SPU jersey, why i cried when we lost to NYP, why i still feel so farked up 3 days after the lost.

I've been here from the start.
and always till the end.

Get that.

。緣。

Why you have to be at the other end of the world, 12 hours from where im staying awake brooding over another joke of Fate again.

De.. despic.. despick.. despicable me.

ITS SOO FLUFFY, IM GONNA DIE!!!!

Muachee?

Thanks for being such a dummy to drive all the way to get the Kois with me. :)

WORLDS 2010

Uhh hopefully the online streaming site works in Sg!

GO SIN CITY!

GO RIOT!

GO BUZZ BULLETS!!

Datum:KL

Blur, Diller Scofidio + Renfro

House N, Box in Box in Box

House H

House O, Sou Fijimoto

Block B, Chris Chong

Datum:KL was inspiring. How architects around the world come together for a movement, bringing our technology back to the primitive living. Especially love Sou Fujimoto's designs, very zen, very quiet, very Jap; yet are all so profoundly crafted spaces.

Trip wasnt perfectly enjoyable, but the lessons and knowledge brought home from the conference definately pays for everything. Yes, despite having to stay in hotel alone, nursing the damn cramp. Hahaha. Am hoping to make it annual to attend archi conferences. :)

For the Coach,

思念

詞／曲：蔡健雅

堆積所有對你的思念
把思念推進個 黑暗的房間
房間就在廚房 的後面沒人會發現

菸不離手把自己灌醉
醉醒過後笑自己有多狼狽
泡的咖啡有苦的滋味
我睜開了眼
忘記你是誰

讓風箏自由 乾脆剪斷了線
讓它往藍天空 隨風而飛越飛
越高直到看不見
像電影裡的畫面

這樣也許能讓我好過一些
把你當做風箏 隨風而飛
越飛越高直到無所謂
我剪斷了線 不再對你懷念

要風箏自由 乾脆剪斷了線
讓它往藍天空 隨風而飛
越飛越高直到看不見
像電影裡的畫面

這樣也許能 讓我好過一些
把你當做風箏 隨風而飛
飛到哪裡我無所謂
我剪斷了線
不再對你懷念

愛 總是讓人心碎
讓我無法入睡
我又忍不住走進那房間
我閉上了眼
又被思念包圍

又被思念包圍

Its not in your hands when your love ones will leave,
but its all in your hands how you are going to love them.

I've been having the most random thoughts about death these days. Not seeing it in the superstitious way, I dont believe in that either; just little stumbles along the walk that make you turn back and wonder abit..
Seriously, if im to die tomorrow, guess one of the things i'd definately regret is not giving any hug to anyone i've ever liked. like-Like like.
I love hugs, to me its the most direct way of showing love, not words not roses not rings, just the warmth two person share. (im trying to emoticonize the ^^ + >< face, haha nvm.)
yeah but.. oh well, hahaha.

Shanghai Expo

Singapore Pavillion

Canada Pavillion

France Pavillion

Standing in the sea of 189 pavillions, Singapore's music box actually seem quite good! Uh would really kill to visit Shanghai Expo now now now! If only i have 1.5K in a month time. :(
