Spring/Summer 2008

Just checked Hypebeast - Bape just launched their Spring/Summer, but nothing spectacular actually. Gone were the 06 Autumn/Winter shit, recalling Edison and his red chomper hoody. Oh well, he's probably more worried about his latest scandal than to be rocking in his gear I guess. Wondered if Nigo would still feature him in the catalog.

It will be launched 1 March, in Busyworks Hong Kong.



Panda hoody! Darren! Hiak!

Same goes for Headporter Plus 2008 Spring/Summer Collection Lookbook. But somehow I find these two pics quite disturbing.



I swear the above LS shirt had gotten the design from my table cloth. I swear.



And I swear this is going to be the next horror-hit movie poster 2008.

Moving forward: Supreme X Kermit (something that Destiny/ww might taken a fancy)



And this is the ultimate sia - Macdonald Double Quarter Pounder X Silly Thing



Cheers

Yuri in Singapore!

Well I guess this is the best place to tell my problem and hopefully you guys can give me some suggestions.

I am 20 this year already, since sec1 when im 13, I like this gal from the same cca as me, but different class, and she went to the same JC as me as well, though we took different sub combi and different cca, but all the way she has been the only girl i like.

but the problem is, it is not reciprocated, meaning tat she doesnt like me, she doesnt have any bf before also, I sort of confessed to her 2 times, once when we are in sec4, once when we are in JC2, but both times it was negative.

I know it is time to give up and move on, but I cant forget her. Its been like 6 years, I am still holding on to some hope I think. I tried moving on but I cant.

I have done things for her during this period too, I gave her presents, like during her birthday or occasions, I even made a MV for her, wrote a song for her too.

I know she doesnt like me, but I cant get her out of my mind.

Wat shld i do? =(

The reason for not moving on is simply because there isn't a reason substantial enough for you to drive forward.

No reason therefore no motivation.

You see, there isn't anyone (or anything) compelling enough for you to switch your affection. And because your history in love is pretty much a clean sheet, there is no way your heart can input a blank statement into something already blank. Honestly, your subconscious will tell itself '...since there isn't anyone else for me to redirect my affection and energy into, instead of leaving a void, by retaining my affection for her, at least my love life wouldn't feel that empty...'

I can tell you; it's a vicious cycle. When you narrow your vision, you will always walk straight, without having the ability to look beyond. Over a period of time, this anomalous way of life will become a habit and your rationale for behaving in that manner will be largely influence by implicit memory and habit; no longer churned from your original intention.

Many 'waiters' feed themselves with all sort of nonsensical reasons to remain, but the root of their senseless wait often reveals a very distinctive, self absorbed definition of love. Instead of evolving from their failure, they rather bathe themselves in various degree of delusion, thinking that their love is so overwhelming, that it kept them bounded, and they have must continue to wait in order to proof the validity of their Love.

I always laugh on this.

Because some people believed that this is a measure of Love and they reward themselves by waiting longer. Six years? Wah, he waited ten years - surely must have loved her alot. What you? Twelve years? Who is next?

I tell you, there is nothing but narcissism in that notion because this love is simply not reciprocated. Period. It's almost like you loving yourself, in a one player role playing game - being both the winner and loser. You conjured your own rule for the criteria for winning and losing, as you subconsciously decide that you win by waiting and lose by moving on.

You tied yourself up - learn to release your self captivity by understanding that Love cannot be forced upon another.

Cheers

Pasta de Waraku

Had dinner with muzzy at Pasta de Waraku. Always wanted to try and finally the opportunity has come.



It was basically good food. Absolutely.

I loved the shit I was ordering (shit, what did I ordered?) =D

Anyway, Wei Xiang and Kelvin came over to my house for a short visit. We had real long conversation - until Wei Xiang's wife started calling him. He passed me two tickets for 16 March event. (Jinwen/Melvin, if you are reading this, I believe you people might be involved too. Please put HR session after 5pm. The event will start from 3-5pm at Expo).

Haiyo, I think I am getting old - very naggy these days.

Going to hit my books tomorrow and Sunday - working to pwn my psychology and lifespan module TMA.

Freud? Piaget? Kohlberg?

YUNHAIER GOING TO OWN YOU BY MONDAY!

PUA (Nothing do with Jinwen)

Weiyong asked me to read about Venusian Art, but I think I must search a little more. Did some research and look through some video; Mystery is good and he looks better than Style.

But I will still dump shares on AOS - PUA seemed a little distant in my context and the focus is quite different.

Who cares as long as it works for you?

P.S: Sorry folks - I am having a private speech with myself.

Cheers

anyone has heard of stories of pretty gals being rejected after confessing?

Reframing it, it is as good as saying, if you are not good at Mathematics, you suck at logics.

Linear thoughts beget linear conclusion.

Love is multifaceted, multi-dimensional and multi directional - it is definitely not as linear as how you have expressed it. If your claims are correct, then Love is only entitled to the chick with the hottest bod with the prettiest face, as well as the dude with the most cash and assets.

Duh - since your tunnel vision did not incorporate other factors into consideration.

If you are dissatisfied with something about your situation, then you must learn to evolve your weakness and vulnerability into something more manageable. If you want to change your fate, then logically you must work to change it.

If not, you are just plain ranting and at the end of the day, it gets you nowhere.

To me, it seemed to me that you just want a boyfriend. But if you can’t even be bothered with yourself, I think the odds will be stacked much higher against you.

Without Self Love, there can be no Love.

If you cannot understand this philosophy, then you will never understand why Love always eludes you.

And it has nothing to do with ugly girl confession = 99% failure.

Cheers

Actually it depends on how determined you are to change your own 'fate'. Either one decide upon calculated wait or you got to initiate a change to an existing chess piece that needs adjustment badly. Most people resigned to themselves without much of a fight and get subjected to all sort of environmental influences that they picked up unconsciously and adopt into their self belief. Eventually, these new assimilated information get entangled into their mindset and they form a distinctive negative outlook and definition towards Love & Relationship.

Such negativity actually promotes the notion of 'I-am-like-that-so-I-will-be-like-that' - which, imho, does little good to one's attitude, even to his/her life as a whole.

A relationship does not mark an end of a journey, but a beginning of a new experience, riding on a continuous growing process that began way back even before the person is attached. One does not learn about Love only when he/she is attached - rather, a relationship spring forth a series of test that seeks to assess your understanding of self love and individual evolution. If such training doesn't exist during your singlehood, then the price you pay for learning certain cosmic lessons will double during BGR and cost will triple (or more) if you are married.

Take your time to recover, but you must simultaneously seek to liberate this psychological bondage you have cramp yourself into. Adopt what's beneficial to you and remove those that only work to hinder your advancement. Only then you can see results in every aspects of your life.

Vday (Voice Of Spring)

Today is the REAL Vday.

Actually the picture was snapped yesterday. It was also Vday - as in VOS-day.

You see, Valantine's Day far too commercialized - but it does provide a reasonably good excuse for one to reinforce their affection for another if they have not actively done so during the other 364 days.

Love is all about expression (Natal Chart will point to our 5th house).

And I can see Jinwen exhibiting his lovely smile for us.

When I was fourteen, I remembered Ugene wrote this in my Cloud Sutra (Mohan calls it my dwarven grudge book).

'Girl everywhere is a Princess, but mine is a queen...'

Now he's really with his queen. Yes. Queen.

And Princess belongs to Douglas. (Not literal though... Hehz).

Mine is just a muzzy that bites.

Oh well, I have thick hides - so I guess I can still stick around. =D

now i'm feeling very guilty.i feel like i've done my hubby wrong.i've cheated on him havent i?haiz..i really dunno what to do

Merely one year into your marriage and it went so wrong - sometimes it really makes me wonder then why do either one of you end up marrying each other in the first place, since emotionally, the relationship isn't even ready to advance to the next level.

I don't seriously think anyone in the right frame of mind would initiate a 'catch up' with a friend in a hotel room. Obviously you weren't in the right frame of mind at that point of time, but I think you are far too naive to assume that it would an innocent catch up with him in a hotel room. And also, I reckoned that your friend is truly some wolf in sheep's clothing and it would do you good to eliminate contact with him.

Two wrong doesn't make one right - although you claimed that your husband cheated on you, still, that doesn't provide any prerogative to engage in any form of promiscuous activity to get even. Such behaviour will only fuel more misery in your marriage and ultimately benefit the 'external vultures' that seek to capitalise from your turmoil relationship.

Your friend is like vulture - circling around the sky, secretly hoping to see if there is any good chance for him to earn an uncommitted sexual relationship through your misfortune. He represents a classic cosmic lesson - that if our relationship is flawed and if we are not evolved spiritually, emotionally and psychologically, the cracks in the relationship will reveal to us our inability to handle crisis positively and trigger a karmic reaction, like how rain water would slipped through those crevices and flood your interior.

What done has been done - what you must do now is to (i) quit mourning, (ii) regain clarity, (iii) regulate your damage and loss.

I believe there's a need to speak with your husband and trash things out. Firstly, I think there's a critical need to understand the rationale behind his drifting. The possibilities are numerous, but if you don't seemed to understand it, this situation might just reiterate in the future.

Secondly, you probably have to establish if he still wants his marriage to work out - this goes the same for you.

Then, there must be a mutual decision to steer away anything that would breed disharmony OR disloyalty between husband and wife. I think there must be a common understanding that if this cannot be done, then there is no reason why one should still remain in the relationship, yet spare no effort to revive it.

Marriage is nothing like BGR; the need for greater maturity, wisdom and tact is much more crucial to ensure that you can enjoy a contented relationship. If one doesn't learn it in their BGR, they will then learn it in their marriage, at a much steeper price

Cheers

all i know is do my own stuff...but tat didnt help at all....

I accidentally come across your topic in Chit Chat and I am concerned regarding your negative domestic environment and the weak bonds you have with people. You probably don`t realized it, but that actually contributed subconsciously to your misery in Love, based on this intense fear of loneliness.

Your fear of being alone is real - this account for your resignation for not confronting your man about the `truth`, because you rather based your emotions on delusional background, thinking that your man will eventually choose you OR thinking that your situation will be better if you don`t do anything that would `seemingly` aggravate the situation.

But I can tell you that your boyfriend, or ex-boyfriend, is merely capitalizing on your inability to face the harsh truth and gradually twirl you around that little finger of his as he continues to fuel your illusionary love. This jerk of yours requested you to wait for him to have his share of loving fun before `returning` back to you and if you are willing to abide by this ridiculous rule, I must say that you are merely living in the shadow of your fear and not in light of Love - that your Love is but a composition of fear masquerading as Love.

As long as your Self identity remains a question - your relationship with people will hardly improve, which inevitable implied that your fear of loneliness will escalate.

You must find a source to determine this Self component - and it doesn’t come from any individual alone. It often derives from causes you seek to fight for. If you seek Love (BGR), when this Self component is missing, I can almost guarantee you that a series of karmic relationships await at the end of the juncture maliciously.

One cannot extend Love outwardly if it doesn`t finds it within him or herself.

I seriously reckon that you might want to try some sort of religious group for some network of support and friendship. You must first save your sanity and then remove your negative fear with robust initiative to change your plight.

Things cannot change if the variables are the same. Although we can`t touch the constant, but we have the freewill to dabble with things we can control.

This is going to be a long story….. I need advice….

I am married for 8years with no kids.

All these 8 years, I carry the status of 'married' in paper.

This doesn’t mean my hubby doesn't love me, its just that we did not consummate our marriage – no sex at all. No he is not a gay!!!

We are like any dating couple – holding hands, sometimes watching movie together.

Things start to change for the past two to three years. He has been playing online games and spending more his time computer than going out with me. Other than normal meals and buying necessities, the rest of the time, he is hook on the computer.

Some of you may say that its ok since he is not going out to gamble or fool around. And he gives you freedom to do whatever thing you like, not many married women get this freedom. Yes I admit this freedom given but I believe in communication and spending a little more time together.

I told him before but he will just say that I am not going out to gamble, drink or fooling around, I am playing computer games. What is wrong with this ?

He still cannot see what is the problem.

5 months ago, our flats were sold – the agreement of selling the flats was decided by him. The reason is that property market was good and we can make big profit ( which we did).

There were no 'but' on this transaction and I have to sign on the dotted line.

I was too (emotionally and physically) tired to argue with him (the whole transaction took place when I was on business trip)

We moved to stay with my parents after the flat was sold.

Every night, he will just play his online game while I do my own things.

Up and until now the flat was sold, I have lost interest in this marriage.

I am beginning to feel like doing things alone and staying with friends are more happy than to be with my hubby.

Recently I met a guy, someone which I wanted to know him more. And if there is a chance I will like to develop a relationship with him.

Whenever I am with this guy, I feel guilty….guilty not towards my hubby but to this new guy.

This guy doesn’t know the above situation and I really wanted to tell him.

I wanted to tell this guy about the above situation and prepare for a divorce (which I have been thinking since the time I sold my flat, so whether this guy appear or not, it doesn’t matter)

Do you think after telling the whole situation above, I will still be able to be with the (new) guy ?

If you are in the shoe of this (new) guy, what will you think ?

It's unusual for a couple not to consummate their marriage - it's just something not very positive for a marriage without a healthy sex life and for your case, it's basically non-existence sex life.

It's likely that you might have subconscious untended/suppressed sexual frustration - which indirectly suggests the feeble natural bonding you have with your husband. Sex per se is not merely about reproduction - in fact, the act of intimacy actually boost the sense of closeness and to promote the 'language of love' - this spiritual union in love.

To me, there could be some unspoken issue/s regarding sexuality. It doesn't mean that he's likely to be a closet gay (although such possibility is possible) - what happens is that I know this case of a man who is suffering from Erectile Dysfunctional, but he has never told his wife about it. He started to avoid intimacy and submerge himself with work. This man slipped into denial mode and his marriage ended up rocky because the wife reckoned that he probably no longer loved her and thought that he shown signs of drifting - the classic scenario of late nights and the lack of intimacy.

Of course, the root of problem is never about Love - it's about communication.

I am not suggesting that your husband is suffering from ED, but rather - it seemed to me that communication between you and him appeared more like a dead line. Perhaps you have already grown used to such structure of communication that you gave up trying, even if you wanted to express your inner thoughts & feelings.

The selling of the flat is probably the catalysis.

Just wondering: do you even have any desire, however little, to salvage your marriage? Or is it a sure thing that you are leaving for good?

Cheers
