I have always been a bit obsessive with bags. Dunno why, I just do. Through out the years I always buying all kind of backpacks, shoulder bags, laptop bags because I would get tired of my current one very quickly. I also can’t seems to settle on the style or size either because I keep on trying new ones. I went through a phase with all kind of laptop bags when I first got my Powerbook G4 a few years back and constantly travel around the different …

I love shopping in Uniqlo because they are just so funky and fun.  Like this season they focus on the different Japanese pop culture as their designs.  As a result they have tons of tees that are inspired by various Japanese animations and cartoons from Gundam to many cartoons that I used to watch when I was little and now completely forgotten their names.  They also have tees that are focus on games all the way from Pacman to all the current game characters.  There are countless tees that are …

This is a shocker to everyone – when I was little, I did not like libraries at all! Maybe because back in the days Hong Kong’s libraries were inadequate or just simply libraries:population ratio was way too high, their collection was always wore out very badly, the books were often yellow and dirty.  I just hated the books in the libraries.  So even when I was very little, I already prefer bookstores than libraries.  I was used to have everything first handed and new.  Being the older brother made this preference even …

I didn’t buy anything in Comic Con, not because there was nothing that I wanted but because of some recent finance stress.  There is something that I regard didn’t pick up though.  I must have seen this artists’ work somewhere before, most likely on the web or son some tees or maybe in kid robot? I just love the creatures this artist Andrew Bell created.  They are quirky and weird and adorable at the same time! So when I passed by the Dumbrella booth in Comic Con, I instantly recognized the creatures! …

Guess what’s better than shopping in a clothing store? Well, shopping in a clothing store that has a robot to greet you!!!!! I went to UNIQLO today and there he is, Wakamaru! He can talk, walk around, greet people, play game, pose for picture, do execrise, etc!

BTW, just like what the sign said, he do not understand English very well and seems to have a mind of his own~ hahaha

The brand new Muji store in the New York Times Building is smaller than I thought. Don’t get me wrong, it is spacious, but I guess after Uniqlo’s store in Soho, nothing is big enough~ Still, the new store is bigger than the one near Chinatown. One unique thing about the store is that it is surrounded by glass, not only from the sidewalk but from the lobby and the garden of NYT building as well. It really give you that sense of light and transparency …

Many people suffers from impulse buy, me included, but i believe it doesn’t affect me as much as I thought. Maybe it’s because of my obsessive research everything nature, most of the things I bought I usually have my eyes on it for weeks if not months. Most of them are on my shopping list way before it ends up in my hands. Take yesterday for example, I went out to do some shopping after I carefully studied my fashion bible. I figured in order to …

One thing that I did not expect about myself is how obsessive I want to be stylish. I am not even good looking. I don’t have a face or a body that is good for fashion – unless everyone want to be ridiculously skinny without any muscle. Continue on with my fashion craving after the spring scarves, my focus now is on finding a better summer look – the season that I hated the most and the season that I never know how to dressed.
Obviously I need …

I woke up dead early this morning – 9:26am to be exact! (that’s early for me after 10 days of vacation!!!) I woke up this early for one purpose only – I heard there’s a big sale going on in Uniqlo today started at 9am. I was of course planning to go to pick up $15 cashmere!! Of course that was just a lie because how could that kind of bargain is possible! Luckily I found that out before I head out the door otherwise I would …

I have always been obsessed with bags! Of all the accessories a guy can have, I am not obsessed with hat, tie, gloves, scarfs, ring, or necklace, but only bags! Be it messenger bags, laptop bags, backpacks, they just drawn me in like no others. Maybe because I used to have hours of commute and the need of bags as necessity transform into obsession? I dunno what was the cause, all I know is that which ever brand name store I went into I can’t help …
