Shopping..

Knowing that my regular shoes for college is detoriating,I decided to get a new pair of shoes during the weekend.

I wanted to purchase a pair of imitation shoes from Sungai Wang on Saturday.Hey,although it's imitation products,doesn't mean that the quality sucks.The quality's almost as good and lasting as a branded pair.After all,the manufacturing country is the same anyway.

But I was largely disappointed with the choices of shoes available there.Most of the shoes did not meet my taste.So,I decided to go home empty handed and still not settle for a branded pair as I would wear the shoes unbelievably fast.

On Sunday,wich is today,I decided to head to Summit Shopping Centre to look for a pair of imitation shoes.I found a pair I like.















The one on the right is my shoe.I got myself a pair of Adidas Superstar Collection shoe.My dad saw a pair of Nike shoe that he liked and bought it.

Here's the best part.By having the same feet size as my dad,I could wear his pair of shoe to college too.Which means,I now have two pairs of new shoes.Cool!!!

I asked the friendly shop assistant if these shoes were imitations and found out that they aren't.His boss goes over to Shanghai,Taiwan and Korea and brings back these shoes in a small quantity.Some of which are limited editions like the pair I bought.

After their stocks are sold out,new designs of shoes are added.

After unloading my shoe from da box,my dog decided to make the box his new bed.












Doesn't that box look comfy??

Wrong Conversation

This was a conversation between Ben and Junn Tseng during term1.They were talking about our Design 1 lecturer,Hang Seng.In our class,we percieve Hang Seng as a gay lecturer who has a crush on Junn Tseng.Percieve.Not entirely true.

Ben copied this conversation from his MSN Messenger and sent it to various people.I will now expose it to the public.Bear in mind I do not care about threats or permission.

Ben says:
so.. han seng.. that guy.. wanna bash him up already..

Ben says:
I AM using hue colours..

JT says:
so why he said tat it was wrong?

JT says:
i have no idea ..

Ben says:
i dun care..

JT says:
let us come up wiv a few theories...

JT says:
1.he dun like u

JT says:
2.he jealous of u

JT says:
3.he wuz blur at tat time

JT says:
4.he mistaken the hue 4 chromatic

JT says:
5.i dunno

JT says:
6. i also dunno

JT says:
7. ..........

Ben says:
8. he think i like u

Ben says:
9. he thinks u like me

JT says:
..........

Ben says:
lol

JT says:
change topic

Ben says:
this conversation have 2 copy out n show everyone

JT says:
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!

As you can see,it was Ben's request to make it readable to others.I'm making it public reading now.

Now,if anyone would like to sponsor my coffin,my height is about 175cm and have it delivered by Thursday.

Written by lecturer but editted by Shawn.










After class,Ken,Jingyi,Kexin,Yevon,Ben and I had lunch in Ming Tien joined by the FUNT group.Then,the 6 of us went to Pyramid to ice skate.

Participants :
Ken
Kexin
Jingyi
Yevon
Ben
Me (Chris)
















This is actually my 1st experience ice skating.It's fun.Didn't fall down for the first 2 hours.And i kinda got the hang of it after and hour and a half.

But after they cleared up the water and resurfaced the ice,my skates started to feel wobbly because of some chipped off ice and holes in the surface,But I still didn't fall.But eventually,I did.a guy came from my back,lost control,hit the back of my right blade and swerved it and made me lose balance.

Statistics:
Most Falls :- Jingyi-5,Yevon-1,Me-1,Kexin-0,Ken-0,Ben-0
Hardest Fall :- Jingyi
Fastest Learner :- ME!!
Duration of Outing :- 3 hours 30 minutes

Only at the end of the week,it finally felt like exploration week.It's not exploration week if we do not have any fun at all.Even the simplest of outing is good enough.

Later at night,I had some booze to cool down.














Don't worry.I get my fair share of plain water as well.















The good feeling of refreshment.And I'm ready for another day.

Damn.Lots of assignments are piling up.

Gotta go.

Recommendation

For those of you who aspire to major in Advertising Design,this is a book I would recommend you to get when you face up to typography.














Wordplay by John Langdon

For those who read The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons,you've probably heard of this name.Dan Brown has recognised John Langdon as a master of the art of the ambigram form.

If you look closely at the word Wordplay,you can actually read it upright or upside down.The same applies for his name.Whereas the black wording at both the right bottom and the left top,it can be read as Art & Science or Philosophy.

This book is filled with interesting ideas for Typography and Lettering classes we will encounter.Even when we proceed to work in the future.

Shawn and I had bought the same book after seeing the contents of it.

This book is available at MPH Bookstore for RM69.90.Only if they stock up on it.Shawn and I bought the last 2 books which were available in MPH Bookstore in Pyramid.Try other bookstores near your area.
