Michelberger Hotel
March 4th 10, 21:57
A 119-room hotel in an old factory building, was said to build for “built for Austrian carpenters, Swedish models, English rockstars, Japanese businessmen, German racing car drivers and American dudes.” I guess that’s just about every kind of people we know.
The 119 rooms offer a wide range choices for every visitor:
“Cozy”: Special for in-love couple;
“Loft” : A super-kingsize high bed with a sofa which could also be an extra bed. For a couple who want a bit more space for their lovin’, or two people who want to sleep in separate beds, or for three girlfriends;
“Band”: 4-5 Single Beds for your Families, Rockstars or Carpenters on the road;
“Michelberger WG”: the most economic choice and also an excited adventure, as you will never know who will be your roommates and spend nights with you~

Run-around Chicken Century Egg
March 4th 10, 21:56
Back in my London days, I would organize a gang of 6 or 9 for dim sum on Sundays, it has to be 6, 9 or 12 due to the dim sum portions, but that will be another chapter another day. A regular stroll to the Chinese supermarket was important to complete the Sunday, and I often get asked about century egg, it often ended with some disgusted onomatopoeias. Whoever named it in English must be a dreadful PR person, or he or she just loved it so much and felt resentful to encourage non-Chinese potential century egg eaters.

The Black Chick
February 25th 10, 7:31
I am one of those Cantonese girls who are vain enough to believe the mum telling her black chicken is so good for women, no questions will be asked when being told to eat something that just beautifies in general.

No Ordinary Paper Bag.
January 25th 10, 2:50
This is an outcome of a tribute to ordinary functional object in everyday life. It is no ordinary paper bag, designed by two of the great minds from Design Work USA, Kim Kim-s have something to say if they are not designing automobiles during the day.
This beautifully tailor Italian leather bag is proportionately identical with a standard paper bag, there is no designer kitsch for this one, it is just a discerning elegance that is modest and exceptional.
It is really refreshing to see simple, great quality and functional object in my usual days of visual feast. It was lovely to meet you guys in LA, sorry I was very drunk…

The Belated Standard NYC.
January 25th 10, 1:00
It was a belated encounter with the Standard for two reasons: My flight to New York was icing up in the worse snow storm in Beijing airport, I got stuck on the run way for 5 hours, missed my connection flight in Shanghai, flew to Paris (I was in London just 4 days ago!) and finally arrived in the my favourite Apple after 23 hours!

Pop Life exhibition at the Tate Modern – London Part II
January 25th 10, 0:52
My yearly visit to the Tate Modern was on one of the coldest day in January, the neon “Pop Life” sign was comforting against the grey sky and minus celsius degrees. £25 each is what I recalled one of the most expensive shows for entry at the Tate, but then it is for “Pop Life: Art in a Material World.” First impression was quite right.

New Decade Part I: Decode @ V&A London
January 16th 10, 19:00
My trip back to London is always brief and a cruel battle with jetlag, it was well worth it for family and the fact that no other city in the world has inspired me so much every time, from the unique greyscale cityscape to the newest technology and design. Here are some of the highlights.

Badly Dressed Men…
May 6th 09, 19:46
Yes yes oh yay, I am OCD about putting things together, from layout, fashion to salad dressing. I don’t know if you ever experience waking up in the morning 8am and found out the person who spent the night in your bed was put together in “thou shall not be named” disaster, for that split second the only thing you would want will be some tequila washed down prozac tablets.
Men has completely gone bonkers in recent years, buying leggings that possibly diminishing their sperm counts, eyeliners, straighteners and way too much hair product that sabotage their dignities into a cross between a manga character and a in-the-closet gay hairdresser.
For those who does not share the obvious psychological confidence, they blend themselves into some average schmoe… like a familiar stream of everyday polluted air you’ll probably met at some point, as though he was some plain-face-girl named Mary’s boyfriend you met few years back at Jack’s birthday party somewhere east London… he was the one who sunk into the painted wall with some sick grime that bloke called Toothy projected on after 6 hours of sake-bomb…
The fun is to dress like you didn’t spend 2 hours matching your outfit, simply impeccable taste and good instinct… So darling if you fail to impress, fail better next time… or simply “ GIVE UP!”
