Yayayaya!

Oh my GOD, how cool (+slightly creepy) is this:
The Knife, You Make Me Like Charity


***

I had a really good week last week. Nothing significant, other than lots of good music, and surprisingly nice lunch meetings.

***

Osage Gallery

We (Hilda, Matt, Calvin, +I) went to Osage Kwun Tung gallery for the FUTURAMANILA opening.











Uh huh..


This band is called the Radioactive Sago Project. And they are this awesome "alternative jazz" band from Manila.






This is the owner of Osage. She's so cool. From this point on, I look insanely happy and a bit ugly. I swear it's the camera...


The business card moment

So we ended up taking this slightly drunk photo with the guitarist...


So we said hi and exchanged business cards etc. Then we went to catch up with the rest of the group. And right before we left we saw him at the door again, being a retard I forget that I already gave him my business card and gave him another one! He must think I have short term memory loss!









Stopped by at the Chivas Studio party, the lamest and most pretentious party we've been to in HK so far... we left after 20mins.


***

The following night, went back to see Radioactive Sago again at Osage Soho with Gigi and Wendy.




We went back to that jazz place I talked about couple of weeks ago...I forgot what it's called again...

Poo, back to work.

Mates of State. First heard of them during a brief stint at eMusic back in 06. Husband and wife, teacher and cancer researcher, now musicians. Their lyrics are so smart.

New album: Re-arrage Us.




Discover Mates of State!


So long, lost loves.
I haven't forgotten you, just yet.
I hung your picture before I knew, next to scenes set in golden hues.
Your face, still drifting inside my head.
The weight is gone, heavy words that I could have said.
I sang instead when other girls only cried.
I called it grace.
I am a mindless child.
But I said: He's treating me right.
You're gone.
What's left?
Memories of greater days just hang.
Look on, you say.
Build together the obvious clues.
Taught you: skip the series of laid out rules.
Go sing outside, as clouds raining spark the night.
That's how we met.
Was it the greatest day of this life?
I said: (S)he's treating me right.
We're just a little bit lost inside our houses.
We're just a little unkept out in the streets.
But I won't ever pass up a second to tell you replacement's a myth.
'Cause I know when the kids are all grown we will still have this blue and gold print.

I found this magazine website: QVEST. Some beautiful photography, graphics and sexy articles (!).

This is pretty cool, Pantone Universe Eyewear. Though I wish you could pick your own colors, I want the Plus A red! Thanks for the link Simon.

I need glasses, I'm going blind...

Stanley


I picked the hottest day ever to go out under the sun.





This makes me miss NZ...









Those silver shorts from American Apparel got me a lot of attention...

At The Pawn. One of my favorite cafes in HK so far.

Looks like there's a nuclear attack and I'm working at a cafe.


Everybody this is Justin! Ta-da... Justin never comes out to group gatherings so the rest of my friends think he's my imaginary friend. Justin is REAL>>


(Next time I will get a picture of his face).

Done. Bye.

Almost but not really

I was lying in bed a minute ago, couldn't sleep. I thought of something and got up to see it. It's just a bus ticket, it's so old, and it's silly for sure...


Like it was yesterday? Haha, probably not. But certainly doesn't feel like 6 years ago.
