OWEN AND VOKES

That letter box, frontage of the house itself -


Those chairs and white tiles -

It was about 12 months ago I last saw their weblink. I always fancy their work, for some un-exlainplainable reason. Maybe the name OwenAndVokes sounds good to begin with.

CURRENTLY TRYING OUT -

I am looking for new kind of beat today. Just when I was browsing for some upbeat mixes from Hed Kandi - I tried out both Anggun's & Utada Hikaru's remix version of Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence. Hmm... Extreme pop kind.

ANDREW BIRD

Released in Feb 2009 by Fat Possum. Andrew Bird's latest album 'Noble Beast' is a class of their own, very crafty, poetic, and sounded magical. Bird's vocals delivered me to la-la land. To begin with, try 'Anonanimal' or 'Not A Robot, But A Ghost'.

NOT JUST A PRETTY FACE

DOMESTICATED

Back home, doing more housework than actual design work. I found myself enjoying watering my plants (used to gardens alot when i was in highschool) and sitting infront of my house doing my readings (you never know how much you can get from those ole old mags donkey years back). So, nothing related to design really, this post is basically about mum's recent strict sense of arrangements. Impressive -

1 When two toilet is side by side, both of the floor mat infront of the entrance shall be aligned along the entry line, therefore neater. That is anal!
(FYI: toilets and bathroom are commonly seperated here)

2 Do not leave the door opened! 'It looks neater!' As oppose to what I do sometimes, leaving the door ajar.

3 All things at home is functional unless travel souvenirs, which also arranged in her kind of manner. Very neat too.

Applause, applause -
