Counterculture

I've written poems about many things,
swim trainings,over-sized loafers, even a tween idol's purity ring.
But to dedicate a post to counterculture- definitely a first,
Nothing but a feeble attempt to quench my sudden indie thirst.

Having 'Telephone' as one of your most-played songs on iTunes is not something to be proud of. Here are a few less mainstream numbers in my library that lay hidden under that massive pile of pop junk, as some would like to call it.


The Decemberists- Here I dreamt I was an architect



"But you, my spoiled teenage girlfriend, how you are furrowed like a lioness..."



Fleet Foxes-White winter hymnal



Death Cab for Cutie- I will follow you into the dark



...from Bangkok to Calgary, and the soles of your shoes are all worn down...



Yuketen footwear.





The inner urge guides me towards light,
Yet again darkness falls, ever so easily.
Even as I sit here writing in this cold winter's night,
I ask for forgiveness and direction, O Lord Deity.

Le pido perdón?

Imagine the world as a Spanish restaurant,
where career options are tapas of every kind,

where a jug of sangria takes you straight from HK to Belmont,

would your outlook in life be newly-defined?

Danish Specialists Bang & Olufsen Beosound 8 speaker Dock. sick...







song of the day. Miami 2 Ibiza- Swedish House Mafia ft. Tinie Tempah





she bought my mp3, so I put her number into my bold bb...classic



Had spanish food yesterday ( thus explaining the sudden urge to mention all things paella and chorizo-related). Funny thing is, the highlight of dinner was actually the non-spanish desserts.

Zoe Renault

I wish there was a movie called Fraught,
about how distressed uni. students live and grow.
How they would change their inner thoughts,
until they themselves know.

Browsing through yahoo's entertainment section at 12am and making fun of the media's increasingly direful use of portmanteaux to refer to their favourite celebrity couples is not the best way to chill out. Ah, the life of a second year law student. Now you know what most of us (maybe it's just me) do when we're not killing ourselves reading jurisprudence. Which reminds me, do remember to read up on Perry's article on Hart's theory after Tara Wolfe's brief but poor explanation yesterday.
Interesting news: Renault can name a new car model Zoe, after the French court threw out a case brought by the parents of two girls called Zoe Renault. It was held that there was no evidence that it would cause the children "certain, direct and current harm". 重點:the parents intend to appeal, with the view that their poor little girls could " face a lifetime of mockery for sharing the name of a car". Valid point? I have my doubts. The courts should just send them to Taiwan and have them meet all these girls who're named after crustaceans and fruits. That'll give them something to think about.

Gym tomorrow, then off to the library. Parfaite. Tout simplement parfait.


Sperry shoes.


Swim, bro.

Song of the hour: Pink Floyd- Wish you were here.

Hype Beast

Hey all,

Apologies for the 3 month hiatus, have been busy lately(mostly work and vac scheme applications related). A close friend introduced a website over dinner today and to all you street-wear fanatics out there, this is the place to go to when you don't have a life. Not that I'm a huge fan of hipster junk, but you'd be surprised to find the amount of wearable trash/interesting food blogs there (I, for one am impressed).ideal casing when I do get an iphone
I definitely want a pair...
yes to the scarf, no to the afro

I've been out-of-touch w/ the billboard top 40, but here's a song that is stuck in my head. sorry if I'm a year or two late...there's no way one can keep up with 14 y. o. Bieber fans w/ their perpetually-vibrating Bold 9780's.




beat is dope...
