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 …

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 think becoming liaison to the fashion department at work is not doing me any good at all. Cos given how serious I take my job, you know I am going to spend a lot more time getting to know the subject matters so that I can communicate with faculty and students better. Now I know I have fashion sense, but I don’t have any formal training nor knowing any terminology or methodology of the industry, the workflow and such. I know I have a lot to …

Ever since I found out about the sales that is going on in CompUSA because of its closing, I have been checking their location in midtown near I work almost everyday. There’s one thing I wanted to pick up. A gadget that I haven’t upgrade for the longest time – my camera! I got my Sony Cybershot T33 back in Jan. of 2005, so it’s now extremely old! I have been eyeing the new T200 touch screen 8.1 megapixel 5X zoom camera for a while, so when …

News has it that in February 2009, the Virgin Megastore in Union Square will be closed!!!! Everybody knows that Union Square is one of my all-time favorite hang out place, and Virgin is one of the key location for me to loitering around. Not only it has lots of things to look at to take up your waiting time, either for movie or waiting for people. It’s a great meeting place and it’s the only place that stays open passed midnight in the neighborhood! Tons of memories were …
