Juun.J

Up and coming Korean fashion designer, graduated from Esmod Seoul in 1992 Juun.J began his career as a designer for “Chiffons” followed by design director for Club Monaco” and “NIX”.
With distinctive style of mixing and transforming classic items with street fashion, create new silhouettes and garments from an overlapping of items and silhouette to silhouette all of which dramatically conflict with each other.
Love his bladzers, it gives a sense of Dior slimming silhouette but with a more masculine street feeling, will try to get one..!

a poem by Arthur Leung

What the Pig Mama Says

The pupoh stopped to cheer. Leklek
was took away. He was mine biggest boy.
A good heart. Saved the best for Yenyen
and Hokhok. His- self eating leftovers.
I cried I cried. Not knew the bastang
took him where. Gokgou told me was hell.

We ate much as we liked. The white fence
put us safe safe. Always we talked, cheered.
The pupoh liked to play with Hokhok.
Mine little boy talked to them sweet.
He knew how make make community.
But Hokhok too was took away by same

same bastang they took Leklek before.
Mine only girl Yenyen too sad to see
her little brother went. She kept quiet
everydays think think. I begged the bastang
not took mine boy. They not understood.
Heard only something like “pok is good ”.

The pupoh talked little little. Yenyen
stopped to eat. She said, “No Hokhok play
wis me !” I sorry sorry for her. The bastang
came to take Yenyen. I saw her away.
I not cried. Maybe it better for Yenyen.
She will stop to think. No more think.

No more think think. Maybe I say
too much. Who is listening to my story?

a new beginning of a new beginning

From tomorrow I will start working in a new Company - Toray International. A company where my boss used to worked for over 30 years and is now a consultant of this company.

Strangly I neither feel excited or nervous or happy or upset. It has been too much going on recently that I feel its just another assignment, another new situation I have to deal with. Is it a good thing? I dont know..

just too much going on for me for now, I need some rest..

Tom Ford

Every man seem to have an emotional attachment to the Black colour, and Tom Ford has reinforced this thinking by using large amount of black in his designs, in which his taste deeply touches me. Though its too expensive for me to afford at this moment..



Prestige a Hong Kong based fashion magazine has recently given an interview for Tom Ford (Full article here), and by reading the interview I noticed he is a business man turned designer, his way of thinking is totally business oriented, and that he admits confidence could be faked, and his passion to black.

Something we share similarity of.

Not that I could be compare to him but I love reading someone else's success story, it reminds me of the many ways life could be lived and turned success and it is the motivation for me to pursue my ambition. To catch people like Tom Ford, if I can..

Life

Endless nights of dinner meeting, works, schools, and parties... exhausted!
Life is too busy recently I dont even have time for sleep, not mentioning time for reading, thinking, house keeping, sports and relaxing. Those activities seem far away from me...let me reach it once again..

Going to transfer to a new company soon, Toray International. Its kind of exciting and worrying at the same time, as it will be very valuable to me to work and gain experience in this famous international company, but worries that I may not deliver much to the company.

Lots are happening and life seem overly chaotic, everything is in a mess.

lonely city

City fell silent, moon took over the sky, one starts to wonder.

Everyone work hard, so hard that they forgot about what is important to them.

Lonely souls in the city keep walking, intersac at the crossing, they meet for a second, eyes contacted, lips open trying to express, their loneliness, but the poison of pride strikes.

No frivolous play, no one night stand, no mask and no money sex.
so one thinks.

Tonight body reacts, brain malfunctioned, its just some warmth we looking for, a soul to share.

Tonight in lonely city, lonely souls stand.

不倫

今天在一個 blog 裏看到一篇文章, 第一眼被一張澳門街道的照片吸引, 本來沒有興趣細看下去, 遍遍看到主角的名字是 Simon 就看下去了.. 故事講述一對發生了不倫之戀的男女, 訴說女人總是遇到有婦之夫的煩腦, 結局是她們憧景的, 男人選擇了不倫的一半.
全文可看這裏: 艷's Style - 不倫愛我

可能有點切身的感受, 看完後有點複習的感覺.. 覺得生命有時簡單點不是更好嗎. 但無奈人生是注定不可能太簡單, 就像上天要在你身上留下一點點生命的痕蹟. 就像這篇文章裏所說:

"沒有人喜歡背叛另一個人,但是生命與感情是很難有邏輯的。"

Dressing the Man



"Why, after men today have spent more money on clothes than in any other period of history, are there fewer well-dressed men than at any time ever before?"

The beginning quotation of this book: Dressing The Man by Alan Flusser captured my instant attention in the book store, and I took it home with a slashing 9,000 yen. After seeing armies of suited men in Tokyo, most of them with unfit size of blazers or trousers, that I found agreement of the quote above.

An interesting book with lots of details of men's dressing. What to look for when trying on clothes in the fitting room, what kind of jacket to wear with a straight-point collar, the history of the monk-strap shoe, the correct position for a bow tie and what "business casual" really means.

In todays modern world, a T-shirt and jeans may be enough for most days, but dressing the traditional art of suits is a manner, and in my point of view, shows a man's taste as how he takes care of the details in life. I think men look their best in suits and there is a sense of empowerment and confident when men dress in a well tailored one.

the long awaited

Today I have read one of the most exciting news to me recently, and its the 1st release of the making of Diablo 3. A PC game which originates from more than 10 years ago and will surely rocks the world when it comes out.
Since the release of the 1st Diablo series more than 10 years ago, and it was a crazy time, for that all my childhood friends and I are fallen into the dark world of Diablo and slashing monsters since.. it were good memories and such an addictive one.
Now the 3rd is about to come out, althought it maybe a year or two before its release but it means a lot to me, as one grew up and becoming more mature, materialistic, and pessimistic, that one can hardly find anything so simple that makes you feel exciting. Surprisingly just the news of Diablo 3 does the trick for me...
