SASHIMI PLAY BALL!

I really need to tone down the obsession with Sashimi. You know, just in case it floats on the surface when i wake up one morning. I taught Sashimi to play ball today with the left-over beads from my craft project. At one point, she really hit the 'ball' with her tail! No, I'm not making things up.That, or she is trying to escape for oxygen.

Sashimi is trying to settle down, accepting the fact that he/she is the haute-est Ranchu ever. I mean how many Goldfish get it's food served on a Tods's business card? Hah, no, i had to crush his/her food (with a disposable shaver cover!) because its too huge for her mouth. Mariah, you better watch out for there is a new diva in town. Soon, she only swim in Avien water.

NAFA, DEPARTMENT OF FASHION STUDIES, DIPLOMA GRADUATION SHOW.

On graduating, felicitations from me to all the class of 09! I was overjoyed to see friends and acquaintances present their work, their hard work. All three years of perfecting skills and learning gone in a matter of minutes!

There was considerable diversity in the work presented, it has a theme but not too literal or direct. In fact, there was only one collection showing weakness whereby it lacks direction and cohesion.

My two favorite ( being something that i would wear) was Turning Point by Elvin Ooi and Into The Future by Michelle Yee. Imo, i think those two collection are current and will fit well with what i've seen in the industry at the moment. I'm sure they will have a wider reach of consumers who would buy the individual pieces if not the whole outfit. The other two collection that caught my attention was Erika's and Zima's. I felt that both of their collection was in a different league from the rest, sportswear and something ethnic.

Also, it wasn't as disappointing as many predicted it to be. ( You guys should not take the window display along the campus as reference to Nafa's talent! ) It was not even bad to begin with and i was really impressed!

Once again, Congratulations on a wonderful show!

WELCOME SASHIMI!

Me and Ridhwan got a pet Ranchu! It's so tiny (the size of 2 nickels), i wanna squeeze till its eye pop out and flush it down the toilet! I've had goldfish in the past but this one is special, Sashimi is bisexual and reads VOGUE. If it doesn't float motionlessly tomorrow morning, I'm gonna teach Sashimi to swim through hoops and dance to Gaga.

THE LASALLE SHOW, FASHION SHOWCASE.

LASALLE College of the Arts held its annual The Lasalle Show to showcase works by the final-year students.Since it was unplanned to view the gallery, the only gallery that insist on visiting was the one consisting of Fashion design,textile and communications.There wasn't any runway but i particularly loved the presentation of the garment, it was very professional.

Browsing through the gallery, it felt like clicking on Style.com's past season. As the saying goes, imitation is the best form of flattery but, there's a fine line between that and inspiration. I have strong opinion on such things and we all know when i speak from the heart, it is never pleasant. haha.RODARTE,BALMAIN & MMM, All i can say is that Lady Gaga thank you for creating something she had in her closet 10 months ago.

ESSENTIAL SHOES.

The classic Woman checks your shoe before anything else. We don't normally disclose any personal issues at first impression but do you know, a shoe reveals so much about one's dignity? If one is wearing flip-flop, my first impression would be that he's lazy. If a guy strut in heels, there's no doubt he's feminine right? I guess a shoe really makes the man.

Personally, i do not believe in investing large amount of money on something that i would rub against the floor. I've never prioritize a shoe ever. If it is true that with shoe, you get what you paid for, then no wonder none of my shoe last long.

A man must have at least two type of shoe to complete his wardrobe-- Dress Oxford and Monk Strap before loafers or lace-up. It is not an obligation but it is essential.
When building a foundation or choosing the basic, try not to over-do ourselves and stick to the basic. A conservative plain dress oxfords is preferred as compared to the kilties, balmorals or wingtip. Same rule applies; Formal occasions require laces. With simpler, less detailing on your feet, the easier to get away with a fashion faux pas.
