chicken rice in amsterdam last sunday

on the last day of milan trip, mina had some stomach problems so when we reached
amsterdam the next day, she suggested we had some normal food (ie non-restaurant oily
and home-cooked.). so she asked me to cook singapore chicken rice which she missed out
on the last time. i agreed first and checked the internet for the recipe later. hehe.


we invited eiko over for the great chicken rice dinner. she used to be mina's housemate
at her former place. she reminds me of my own sister!


chicken! by hunn!


the rice is served!


eiko



us and shinji


shinji gave me his shirt that couldn't fit him anymore. it's made from silk-denim
and by a guy who used to be the chief pattern maker for Evisu jeans. one-off bay-bee.

the guys really loved the chicken rice. i was especially glad to get a compliment from Shinji,
cos he's the Culinary Expert according to mina. Plus he makes damn good japanese food.

i thought the chicken was abit bland but i suppose ok for japanese taste buds as they're
used to more subtle flavours. and the improvised chili sauce was a hit too. thank god.

oh and the photos are all taken by Shinji's 8 megapixel digi-SLR so they naturally
look much better than my phone cam. he studies photography at rietveld academy so
he's pretty much knows what to do. he told me before he tries to "capture the spirit
in the normal things in life." maybe i can post some of his work here next time.

off to sleeppppp now. have a nice sunday.



SINGLE LIFE project product shots

yeah i know it's a long over due post. but it's been until just now i remembered i had my product shots in my good ole' fuji digicam. (haven't been using it much since i had my k750i)

my concept was to transfer intrinsic details and qualities from an (sometimes expensive )
object i own, onto cheap, affordable objects. (much like ripping mp3's from a CD you
bought and copying them.).

how would then my shoes become a table? my jeans become a wardrobe? my t-shirt become a chair?

anyhoo here they are.

"Sir Smith" Table


original pair of paul smith's


"Sir Smith" table. originally a dining table from the 2nd hand market.


lace net close-up. paul smith products tell small jokes via subverting details on stereotypes
(like the wingtip perforations on a "stan smith" for the shoe), so i made this dining table into a "play/work" desk. this is the table in its "decadent table-tennis" mode.


wingtip pattern blown up.


even the bats' handles are drilled with the motif.


hans and david having fun with my work.


this is the table in "work" mode. grid is 1cm squares for you to measure stuff, lines are 0-90 degrees to measure angles and "bubbles" are just circular template random drawings to
throw off the symmetry abit. just like paul.


cable management.



MNGSTR wardrobe


treasured pair of jeans.



got this fabric wardrobe from the local sundry store. so i made it more "functional
decoration" by adding a coat hook rack and mirror with the same language.


GRNPH chair


my favourite graniph t-shirt, now a chair.

i think i might continue this theme of "quality of objects" for my thesis next year. cos i like
nice things that are usually expensive and limited. hahaha. and for me, after this project,
it's less about the brands but more of the quality (craftsmanship or concept or both.). and
to get high quality or concept, it's either expensive obscure brands or rare flea-market
finds.



talking about things i want( and hence have bought...:P  )

my latest possession!



it's a fabric bracelet with a gold rolex embroidered with gold thread and sequins.

for me, this is my most bling-est and most pimp-est.

oh it's by walter van beirendonck (the guy behind w & lt) by the way.

what's the time? it's always 10 past 10, 28th of some month, and it's a monday.

hahahaha..

laters guysssss
