Hey all! Kelvin and I are going on yet another adventure! It’s going to be a long one this time, 3 whole weeks to be exact! So check back three weeks later!

As a parting note, another quick update of the Tokidoki screensaver… 2 new additions! White tiger and Pink tiger play golf, and Bling Lion drives in his flashy car to advertise the opening of a new shop!

Enjoy!

Super Mario - 12/05/09

2009 May 17

Long inspired by the cute characters from Super Mario, I’d been meaning bling my hair brush. Finally got down to doing it… I’m not too happy about the results… So don’t look too closely at the pictures… don’t want you to be disappointed…

070509 - Shopping at Kinokuniya

2009 May 15
by antz

Just in case you think we only buy stuff from Adidas or Tokidoki, here’s some variation! lol..

Love browsing the magazines and stationery at Kinokuniya coz they’ve always got cool stuff. Our latest buys include…

this magazine named SMART. It came with a nice blue Stussy fanny pack.

There’s another magazine which we love buying! The Bathing Ape one! I love it that they have launched a magazine to showcase only their kids range because it always come with something cool! Sometimes cooler than the adult catalog, like this time around! The adult magazine comes with a grey :-( tote bag. We couldn’t resist the kids one. Check it out!

It’s a  C U P !  So cute! I have no intention of using it though.

I took pictures of it all around so that you can have a better idea of what it looks like… it’s their signature Baby Milo on the cup, but the design of the cup leaves more to be desired…

How would you drink from the cup? One would usually leave the design facing out and drink from the ‘back’, rite? Then won’t the ‘front’ of the cup be pressing against your nose? Hmm… like i said tho, not using it…

The magazine typically comes with a sheet of stickers and they’re so cute I took pictures of them one by one… Check it out!

Fallen Tree - 25/04/09

2009 May 13
by antz

We’ve received feedback that we seemed to be doing a lot of shopping, whilst that is true, we’ve also been around…

Remember the other night a few weeks ago when an unnaturally strong wind blew into Singapore? Look what it did to nature! Well, a little part of nature…

For those of you who drive, wonder if you’ve noticed the silent giant that stands protecting a block of flats at the junction of Bishan into Toa Payoh? I enjoy its majesty the few seconds we ride down the road, but look at what’s happened to it!!

Fallen tree

To give you a clearer picture of how big it really is…

Look how large it is!

Enjoy some of the shots that we took of the rest of it, trunk…

A closer look at its roots… there’s a bottle there! Wonder how old it is…

So sad! Can’t believe the wind could blow such a HUGE tree down. The flats behind seem ok, probably only shocked from the earth-shattering boom and tremors when the tree collapsed.

The only ones who seem truly bothered by this piece of history are the workers who have to chop it into pieces small enough to be driven away! And us, crazy couple who rode on our trusty Vespa in hot mid-day sun to take pictures! Thanks, dar, for going on another adventure with me! :)

Adidas Sample Sale - 29/04/09

2009 May 12
by antz

Kelvin and I were privileged enough to be informed that Adidas had a very exclusive sale in their headquarters to release all their sample stock, and we were there!

We weren’t late, but we lost out to the staff who could pick the cream of the crop, so we’re a little disappointed with the selection. Shoes were a steal but those left just weren’t quite to our liking. And it really wasn’t glamourous having to dig from cardboard boxes on the floor for clothing, but we did it anyway… :p

Here are our steals!

Our buy from Adidas Sample Sale!

Soccer balls were cheap, at $8 a ball. Kelvin bought this for a boy who enjoys chatting with him about soccer…

This jacket looks almost like the my riding jacket, but this is paper-thin and super cool! Kelvin’s replacement riding jacket for when his Sugoi one wears out…

I love this I love this! From the Tournamant Edition, I’ve been eyeing this skirt since it was first released in stores. And I finally have it! Yes, I know you can find this in the stores, what sample? I still love the skirt. :p

Neither of us have seen this shirt in stores, and anyway, Kelvin’s really into polo shirts these days…. Another one for the collection!

Stay at the sale long enough and sometimes people throw stuff back. Kelvin found this gem in the rough. It’s another jacket but we’ve really never seen anything quite like this in the stores! It’s silky and 3 shades of blue! Missing 3 stripes, but we’ll take care of that easily…

And lastly, proof that everything came from the sample sale! ;)

Those of you who are already using the Tokidoki screensaver will know that there have been new screens! (If you haven’t gotten yours, what are you waiting for?!?! go here!) One of the newer screens is Kelvin’s current favourite character, a flying unicorn! It’s the cutest and most beautiful unicorn flying across a simple backdrop of blue sky and clouds!  K A W A I I ! !

Tokidoki Update - 06/05/09

2009 May 6

Another quick quick update…

The Tokidoki screensaver has a new update. This time it’s the Tokidoki Onitsuka collaboration White Tiger skating along the beach to advertise that the Summer Collection is out! You can check it out here

There are some super cute characters tanning on the beach, my favourite is the guy in the shark suit with a shark-bitten surf board! If you own the series of 4 tigers, then you’ll know that the White Tiger is the most aggressive of the 4, but he doesn’t look one bit aggressive in the screensaver!

Here’s a pic of my personal collection. :p

On a different note, just to let u know that the Tokidoki website has re-launched its shop and they have a very cute start page…

Tokidoki Screensaver Update - 01/05/09

2009 May 3

Just as the other update went up, Tokidoki has added new stuff to their screensaver!

More animation this time, in the form of the little emo-punk kid from Concerto kicking a poor apple core, the checkered boy from Carnival eating ice cream; and the pair of leopard lovers from his newest series that was released in Japan.

I took many screenshots and decided to try my hand at creating some clips instead of the usual collages that I do. Hope you like it!

This is the pair of Leopard Lovers…

Some of the stuff can be found on eBay already, but it’s really expensive… Tokidoki has launched this new Tokidoki-Hello Kitty collaboration only in Japan! So sad… Some of the items are shown below…

This is the checkered boy eating ice cream, he’s so cute! Love the way he licks his ice cream off his face… :)

And last but not least, little emo-punk kid from Concerto…

Enjoy!

Yes, they had Godzilla before, but now it’s been animated! A car drives by and gets zapped to smithereens by Godzilla! So cute! If only they incorporate sounds into their clips! Uber!

This is another update! I love how their screensaver is dynamic and is constantly updated!
