Video will be a new medium that I'll incorporate into this blog. After spending an hour conversing with JM and Steven, we had the usual conversations about work, uni and life in general. CREAM if you know what I mean. Just testing out the video and low-light capabilities as we wind down and catch up.

TOKiMONSTA & Nosaj Thing

Crazy wet night. Would do it again. Only if I had my camera.. :( yes you heard right, my baby is gone but a lot of kids have joined the party. New lens lineup: 17-35 2.8, 35 f/2, 50 f/1.4, 60 Micro and 85 1.8.

William took great shots, shit Jennifer even signed a drawing by Crez. Nosaj's set was beast, Toki was pretty good, got the crowd moving but I pre-empted most of it :(

Charisoul

So I've been a little lazy over the last few weeks in terms of producing artworks. I'm thinking of a few new ideas but my physical state of being fat is making me somehow not feeling in the mood... but every so often someone pushes me to produce something..

Charis Lee, I was suppose to make her a 70s style cartoon version of her but after doing several sketches and playing around in Ai, I found out that I wasn't feeling the way her face was coming out using my technique. Since the geometrical shapes didn't get her lovely face-shape (Something that makes the image personal for the portrait) I decided to watercolor/gouache her up from a drawing I did of her when she was a wee young girl :)

When I think of Charis, I think of her and her sweet foods! So I decided to make her a Jelly bean (It's more of a capsule shape, but whateves!)

So what did she look like as a kid? A cute girl wandering through the fields 

(And not much has changed! :P)

Only In Cabramatta..

Only in Cabramatta do you see old Asian men rocking Wu-Wear

Starter caps with spiked bats and hockey masks.

Cabramatta has changed so much within the last 10-15 years. I always tell people the stories of what I remembered when I was young, being a 8 or 10 years old, the fresh bullet holes in the police station's windows, the drug dealers that roamed freely and the delicious food that still gets served today. A lot has changed but the culture and traditions are still the same, it's a great place to eat and relax even though in some of the arcades there seems to be a riot of people just trying to get their fix of food, most Westerners would think of it as a day before the apocalypse yet it's the everyday 'hustle' for the locals; although it's very alike with Paddies market or Flemington, so those that have experienced that aren't in for much more. Whilst the people may be a spectacle, I'm only really interested in the food and drinks.

I don't know about you but I am inlove with chicken feet and pork belly. The restaurant that I eat the salad at is Bao something 8 or something. Anyway that's so vague but I think anyone that visits Cabramatta cannot eat and NOT get a drink of some sort. My personal favourite is Jack Fruit Sinh-to (Which is a Vietnamese smoothie) this shit is the bomb and if you're not going to get your Sugar Cane Drank (Nouc Mia) either than I suggest Avocado Sinh-to or the drinks you can choose 3-5 toppings. They're the gangster ones!

I'm not hella Viet, but I know enough to enjoy my roots and to curse a little or talk behind someone's back to another Vietnamese friend. After watch 'Go Back To Wear You Came From' on SBS, it reminds me of the struggles my Mum went through and how good it is that I still have some tradition in me.

Glad that I'm Vietnamese and proud. Co-incidentally while I was typing this up my friend Cynthia posted this on her twitter:

It's so 'groovy' and rocking! Ha!

Next few posts will be me reviewing a few movies and new headphones.

Snap Snap Pop Pop!

Waited at home all day for these babies :)

Audio Technica ATH-AD700, they're so comfortable and the soundstage, highs and mids are completely amazing. Cannot wait for a Fiio E7 to power these babies a little more :)
Nosaj Thing, Debussy, GZA and a few other picks have made my ears melt on this cold winter's day. Burning these in will be one of the best things ever!



The weekend was pretty fun, I finally met my other Mother Diane and I spent the evening at Sneakerology enjoying Katalyst on the decks and omnomnoming on mini burgers. Met some old faces and saw some new, also talked to a girl from 'That Store' for a job opportunity in the city (Something I have needed in so long)

Got really drunk and passed out at the Gaelic. Thanks to Claudia for letting me lean on her :P

Progressin'

Tomorrow is my review day, first time in like a long time. And this time I'm prepared.



Yesterday was my homie David Lee's 21st birthday, he's heading to New Zealand and all that tomorrow so yeah. I hope you had a good one! Keep safe!

We went to Pancakes at the Rocks... but the one at Darling Harbour and by god the ribs were chat! Especially for $25, I mean for $10 you get way more and they're actually hot from upstairs. ie. Hurricanes.

But I'm not the one to complain since I did order the blueberry heaven. Ha. I was all over the Kettle Chili and Peanut Butter Brittles.








Really feeling 'Nedry'. It's like a mix of Bjork, Massive Attack and Dubstep. Classy steeze.
Peep their 2010 drop 'Condors' or heres their song 'Apples & Pears'

Summer Stains in Spring?

I got a new bird... it's sibling died when it's mother/father attacked it. We saved this one but it died shortly after 1 day...



Today, I got toasted by the Australian sun, I spent the day with Mitchell, Sujin, Carolina & Claudia. It was a nice sunny chilled day. Shark Bay wasn't too packed and there was a free titty show by teens. I felt like a criminal noticing them :grins:

We played Beach Cricket... kind of. I slept in the sun and now my shoulders are a slight pink, I'm currently listening to Deerhunter. I wish someone would chill at mine, share a smoke, coffee or scrap both and smoke a doobie to this. Today is nearly perfect but I wouldn't ask for much more. Grace should've joined today but I guess there's always tomorrow right? :)

Time Hustling

Just a general day, out and about within Sydney.

It was something new though, I somehow ended up in Coogee laying on the sand. The sand between my fingers and toes, it's still within my hair as I type this (I need to have a shower) it's been too long since I've stepped foot on a beach and fell asleep.

Review didn't end up so well but I got it over and done with, which is what matters. I got to spend the rest of the day with Sujin, Carolina, Claudia and of course Grace :3 (And Will came along later on in the day)

Crafty things are brewing, I'm heavily inspired by the people around me and I thank everyone for every moment I'm able to spend with you all. I cannot wait to start shooting some film soon. I have a few things to be purchased on eBay, a lot of vintage random things and all will be revealed in due time.

If only I could write in my other blog. That blog would be full by now. Sometimes I wish I could post anonymously but I know there's an audience and not knowing who exactly reads this scares me into what I can and cannot post.

Monday's Lunch. It was amazing.

PS. A friendly blogging neighbour has hit 1000 posts. She's very consistent with her blogging and is an awesome read.

Do do do do do do do do

Nerds, Nerds and Art critics.
Met so many people from BA. Zain, Zel1nk, CoM, Ankles, Reinnnn, Yamite, Syko-Exe, Sil3nt_4ss4ssin, -xDan, fcukQ, cluedupazn, m1lkman, docker24 and a few other people. Definitely a biggest BA meet up ever. The next one won't be as big but it'll have better content.
After this meetup, I met Janet and Jaehee and Josh (pictured) and Chris. After I got wasted on Soju (as always)

And today I went to the NGA in Canberra. I'll upload the film photos when I get them developed.
