I ♥ my Converse

After almost 3 years of abuse, my trusty pair of chucks is starting to wear out. The sides of the edge seal is cracking in a couple of places...

I contemplated buying a new pair of chucks, but they didn't have any new design that I like, so I ended up with a new pair of Nike.

Wore them last weekend and almost ended up with blisters after walking for hours. The leather is stiff o_O They say it takes time to break in a new pair of shoes and I need to break them in by next month without having to wear them everyday! Wonder if mom would mind wearing them for her daily morning walk.. XD

I never had any problem breaking in my chucks when they were brand new and they are definitely the most comfortable footwear I've ever owned.

誰是全台「第一大帥哥」?

Yahoo Taiwan recently conducted a public opinion poll to determine who are Taiwan's 'shuai ge' [誰是全台「第一大帥哥」？]. The poll closed sooner than I expected, I only managed to cast one vote...

Takeshi Kaneshiro came out in the top spot (deservingly so). Don't know how Jerry Yan managed get to no. 2. Leehom is at no 9 and my favourite is at no. 10

1. 金城武 TAKESHI KANESHIRO 19.3%
2. 言承旭 JERRY YAN 16.6%
3. 明道 MING DAO 6.8%
4. 羅志祥 SHOW LUO 5.7%
5. 吳尊 WU ZUN 4.3%
6. 周渝民 VIC ZHOU 4.1%
7. 賀軍翔 MIKE HE 3.7%
8. 蕭敬騰 JAM HSIAO 3.4%
9. 王力宏 LEEHOM 3.4%
10.阿信 ASHIN 3.1%

Weekend enews update

What a weekend. So much enews to digest.

in Kaohsiung, Mayday paid a visit to the city to attend a press conference and rode on the MRT, which was launched in 2008 (which was still under construction during my last visit to Kaohsiung).

2 thumbs up for the new Stay Real shirt

Coldplay Viva 2010 calendar

Got my first 2010 calendar from Stephanie (thanks dear!) sometime ago but I was told not to reveal it as back then it wasn't released in the market yet. She works for the publisher who printed the Coldplay calendar - hence my free advance copy.

It's a 16-month calendar that runs from September '09 to December '10. Don't know if I am gonna use it (I suppose I shouldn't let it go to waste..) But I don't really like Coldplay much! Used to listen to them way back before their debut album was released.. when Jo Whiley used to play their first few singles a lot on BBC Radio One. These days I don't listen to them bedwetters no more.

Additional tickets for 五月天「創造55555人」演唱會

There won't be a second night for the「創造55555人」演唱會, however additional tickets will be released due to the phenomenal demand for the concert, which saw a total of 47,500 tickets being sold out in just 48 hours. Many fans who could not get tickets had to resort to alternative channel and ticket touts were re-selling $3280 tickets for up to $18000 (!!!). Some unfortunate fans fell victim to fake ticket scam.

Additional 7,000 tickets in the $980 and $1880 ticket price range with a free standing section (see picture below) will go on sale tomorrow (Friday 23/10) at 5:55PM. If you haven't got your ticket, don't miss the chance!

Lunar birthday

Today is my birthday.. again.

My actual birthday was 2 weeks back, and today is my lunar birthday. Not that there's a need for double celebration, but more birthday pressies are always welcome LOL though I’ve already got what I wanted =D

Kobron 2009 A & W collection

Mainlanders come up with the weirdest names for clothing labels. The weirdest I've heard by far is Bosideng which is a menswear brand (who would've thought..?), currently endorsed by Leehom. Mayday are endorsing Kobron, a casual trendy clothing brand.

I was browsing through Kobron's website and they had a catalogue for their latest autumn and winter collection including this hilarious looking Inspector Gadget trench coat donned by Ashin LOL!

iCash card

Almost each time after I step out of 7-11 in Taiwan, I'd end up with a pocket full of coins so I've decided to get myself an iCash card.

DT's apartment

Here's an interesting concept. An apartment themed establishment. It's been done here - by an alfresco restaurant cum bar in town named "Apartment". Dined there once, it's actually not too bad.

And now we have an apartment themed concert set-up by David Tao in his latest concert titled "DT In Space: The Rock & Talk Show". Because his new album is titled "Opus 69" and is heavily influenced by rock music of the 70's, so here we have a retro apartment themed setup on stage. Vintage furniture for a vintage man. LOL. If the venue was any bigger, I'm sure his Cadillac or Mustang would've been a prop onstage.

David hopes to bring the concert to KL *fingers crossed* Hopefully we'll get to see him in action in town soon

Got me tix

I got my row 2 五月天[創造55555人]高雄演唱會 ticket! My belated birthday pressie =]
