Yayayaya!

Oh my GOD, how cool (+slightly creepy) is this:

I had a really good week last week. Nothing significant, other than lots of good music, and surprisingly nice lunch meetings.

***

Osage Gallery

We (Hilda, Matt, Calvin, +I) went to Osage Kwun Tung gallery for the FUTURAMANILA opening.











Uh huh..


This band is called the Radioactive Sago Project. And they are this awesome "alternative jazz" band from Manila.






This is the owner of Osage. She's so cool. From this point on, I look insanely happy and a bit ugly. I swear it's the camera...


The business card moment

So we ended up taking this slightly drunk photo with the guitarist...


So we said hi and exchanged business cards etc. Then we went to catch up with the rest of the group. And right before we left we saw him at the door again, being a retard I forget that I already gave him my business card and gave him another one! He must think I have short term memory loss!









Stopped by at the Chivas Studio party, the lamest and most pretentious party we've been to in HK so far... we left after 20mins.


***

The following night, went back to see Radioactive Sago again at Osage Soho with Gigi and Wendy.




We went back to that jazz place I talked about couple of weeks ago...I forgot what it's called again...

Poo, back to work.

My Body is a Diary

Work
Work is piling by the day. I really want to just want to get away for a day.
I'll be in China from August 2 to 11th.

Furniture
I've been gawking at things that I like but I can't have right now because I can't settle down. The idea of settling down so I can go furniture shopping is so appealing right now. Furniture like these:

Paddy by Nick Melville from Glimpse Online

Item description
‘Paddy’ is a comfy upholstered chair with the theme of a padded cell. The enclosed shape offers an experience of safety and security, and provides sanctuary from the rapid pace and noise of everyday life. It’s large enough to fit two people so you can share with a friend.
Price £3,235.42
Wanna come and be insane with me?

Gramophone Chandelier by Jericho Hands

Item description
A huge globe of Gramophone horns forms a stunning chandelier with the real 'wow' factor. As featured in The Sunday Times 'Style Section.' Available to order to any specific size.
Price £2,800.00

And for when I have a garden: the bathtub chair from Reestore

Price: £2,400

Sigh...

I went to a local art gallery opening with Hilda today (no photos...). It was hard to break the ice because I don't speak Cantonese. It looks like HK is split up into two main social groups: the expats and the locals. And it's really hard to get the two to appreciate eachother and to learn from eachother. Not knowing is one thing, not interested is another. Now how do we get people to be interested in one another?

Who ever said art is a universal language is a fool.

I want to meet more locals.

-Andy Warhol.



This was taken at...(name to be added as soon as I find out). Great live jazz. I'm wearing my leather flower headband as a bracelet, loooove that thing.






***

At Knutsford Terrace.

He's leaving...


With Gigi, from high school back in Auckland. Soon to be lawyer. She's so cool :P *blush.












This is what I would look like in finance.


Seriously...


Dress is Alice + Olivia.

New favorites:


Clara Luzia, from Vienna. Haven't heard anything this good in a while (listen on her myspace page).

The Kills, Last Day of Magic. This is what love means to me.


Cavalry come
Cavalry go
Cavalry leave me alone
A little serenade, oh
A little cup of cane, oh
Last day of magic
Where were you?
