Reading literature: Monocle, Studio Culture and The Sartorialist

Literature I acquired lately: (1) Monocle Issue 27 (2) a signed copy of Studio Culture by Unit Editions (3) The Sartorialist by Scott Schuman courtesy of Stella who brought it back with her from London. Thank you!

And how can I fail to forget the two L’artisan du chocolat Venezuela chocolate bars from London! This place has an elephant made out of chocolate! Brilliant stuff. Am already saving it up for a late night snack. Yum.

Threadless tees in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia

If it wasn’t for the Threadless gift e-voucher I received for my birthday last year, I would have never considered in purchasing tees online. It was a breakthrough. With that, more than a year later, I made my second purchase.

The tip to getting the best deal out of purchases like this is to wait for their seasonal sales (e.g. the back-to-school period) and only purchase it then. Likewise, it is more worthwhile to buy a few to save shipping costs.

Nike Lunar Glide+, Grace One Sdn Bhd, Kota Kinabalu

Now, this is something that I just bought this afternoon—a new pair of Grey/Yellow Volt Nike LunarGlide+ trainers to replace my aging 3-year old Nike Free trainers. As far as I know, only limited quantities of each colourway is imported and sold in East Malaysia. So if there is a colourway you fancy, don’t hesitate.

Albeit not heeding the call to exercise for the longest period, this is the moment. The moment to prevent the overprotection of my ‘tyre’ layer of fat from the six pack abs that could be. The moment to make this expensive shoe purchase worthwhile. The moment to exercise and be fit. Ok. I’ll start next week.

hey, i wanted to get that london bus t shirt. but they sold out of it when i was about to purchase on the websit.e did you get that recently, or was it from your first purchase.

This is actually my second London bus tee but at a size M. Wanted to get a poster print of the bus itself but it was out of stock. It cost me almost RM60 per shirt including shipping. Not bad for a Threadless tee I reckon.

mr chan. if you are considering running, i probably recommend ASICS shoes.

When I meant running, it actually meant brisk walking. And I am going to start doing it soon. After my sister gets her driving license. Before you come back.I would have thought New Balance shoes weren’t bad too. :( I am a sucker for that iPod thingy which you can fit under the sole of the Nike shoes. Sigh.
