Work & Lurk

Thats right folks.. it's Hearing Awareness Week... so get you hearing done checked ok. Arrived at QV1 this morning and met with my fellow colleagues to conduct hearing screenings for anyone willing to have an assessment.. it was free, of course people were willing. It ended up being nearly every single office worker at QV1. I must've said 'middle ear function' and 'significant background noise' at least a bajillion times.


I went for a lurk after work.. and put a deposit down on some art. I then felt buyers remorse, and justified my purchase "It's because its dope ok.. dope".



I came home and listened to this.



Goodnight!

We make noise, not clothes.

Jun Takahashi for Undercover. $575 RRP, copped for $80 in my size. My advice - hold out for sales and don't pay stupid prices on stuff.

SE ASIA Pt. 9 - Thailand (Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya)

Before I get to part 9, here are the links to my previous blog entries outlining my journey.

SE ASIA Pt. 1 - Intro

SE ASIA Pt. 2 - Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City)

SE ASIA Pt. 3 - Vietnam (Đà Lạt)

SE ASIA Pt. 4 - Vietnam (Nha Trang)

SE ASIA Pt. 5 - Vietnam (Hội An)

SE ASIA Pt. 6 - Vietnam (Huế)

SE ASIA Pt. 7 - Vietnam (Hà Nội & Vịnh Hạ Long)

SE ASIA Pt. 8 - Thailand (Chiang Mai)


After spending a relaxing few (albeit the intense Muay Thai training) in Chiang Mai, I made my way south into the interior of this beautiful country. I spent a night in Sukhothai (bus ride killed me) before reaching my next destination, Ayutthaya.

Ayutthaya was once the capital of Thailand, and the kingdom was named after the Indian city Ayodhya, the birthplace of God Rama (in the Ramayana). And so, the city encompasses breathtaking Wat's (essentially a temple or place of learning). Majority of the Wat's are in ruins due to the invasion of the Burmese army in the 1700's - you will find that most of the Buddhist statues/monuments have been beheaded/destroyed. The Wat's now form a historical park that is internationally recognized as a UNESCO world heritage site.

Khmer temple architecture is amazing and after looking at my photos again, I really wish I had my 10 - 20 mm lens and my D90 back when I did this trip. There's always next time..




















Peace.

Smiles

Sifting through the photos I captured whilst in Indonesia earlier in the year. Thought I would throw this one up. This little homie went by the name "Smiles", he kept it OG while rolling/pick-pocketing stupid tourists with his crew. They used the Bintang singlets as markers to identify said stupid tourists..

What you do?

I've been meaning to upload this video since its release back in March. When it comes to ad campaigns I was never blown away by the 'prettiness' of how Converse did; unlike Nike (THAT LT & Polamalu NFL joint) or Adidas (THAT famous Muhammed Ali throwback). But this particular campaign by Converse is next level, featuring one of the best ball-handlers in 'the' game, God Shammgod.



Living for those horns..
