modular-ksubi xmas funfair party 2006





These two tshirts, I picked up from the Modular Ksubi Xmas party in 2006. Van She and Cut Copy played here before they ended up exploding into the world music scene. But pooh-pooh that fact lah, it is not so important. this is because two very,very important poster children of the Nu-Rave sound (entirely massive in every indie club that year) headlined this festival: Klaxons and New Young Pony Club. My friends and I were in front row, completely covered in sweat and banging out our Nu-Rave head snaps to every single song.

This festival was mind blowing.

for sale: retrofab purple virginia coast tshirt



I dont want this tshirt anymore. It's very retro fab, but I just got so damn fat from eating Wan Tan Hor and pisang goreng after work everyday, so I cant fit this anymore. the tshirt says 'Virginia go to the Road-Coast with 'Rocket' Engine'. Its a size M, probably a size 10. True colour more towards the purple shade in the second picture.

asking price: RM 10 (cheap!)
postage: RM6

interested parties could email me or leave a comment on this post.ill send u the bank account number

Chromeo retrospective reminisce sometimes



This is an old photo of the Chromeo frontman looking all hot and that in a leather jacket and a black tshirt, graphic of a lone wolf in front of a full moon. I was there, 2006, at Sydney's Basement. Front row, tipsy as fuck.

This man is a classic example of how you could pick up chicks even if you get genetics that make you look like a total nerd. If you take time to consider what your overall look and theme is for the night, even a tacky shirt will look good on you.

Swamp Thing You Make my Heart Sing

I remember growing up in Tuaran and falling in love with a show called 'The Swamp Thing'. Does any 80s baby remember this? I remember it was a very scary looking green humanoid lump of vegetation with slime all over it, but I was far too young to remember what exactly Swamp Thing WAS and how he came to life. Swamp Thing basically protected his,uhh, swamp against evil soldiers and environmental disasters. I remember my brother and I always sang the theme song with full rock out mode (it was a cover of The Troggs' Wild Thing).We even did air guitar movements, jumped off the sofa and slid down onto the ground rolled around and screamed into an imaginary mic: "Swamp thing!!!!".The Who's Pete Townsend would have been proud.


I wanted to buy this shirt sooo bad but buntil only meant it to be for display.Dayumm.

US Beer Drinking Team


Team member #1: Alex Lai. He trains very hard to be a fully committed member of this team. The ever-expanding girth of his potbelly is a true testament to his tenacity in ensuring that every.single.beer mug set in front of him gets guzzled down before someone else steals it.

fables of a bygone digital era as told to my unborn child





When I was your age,we never had CDs.We had these things called 'floppy discs'.And they really were floppy so u had to be careful not to bend them!And they could get fungus on them,so you had to make sure they were clean and dry!At the most they could keep 200mb.But it didn't matter that they kept so little memory, our hard disc space at the time was 6gigs at the most, imagine that!

Now you see this man here wearing a shirt with the words 'Dirty Digital ' on it? Now that's a play on the a movie entitled 'Dirty Dancing', this was during a time when movies involving song and dance were more whorish and fun.Nothing like the crap you watch like High School Musical.


Another day, child.I'm going to tell you about Atari, Sega and Nintendo.

Me speak very goof englig

























Wah, very power ah your english. You cannot endure ever armed conflicts, eh?Good lah.I oso cannot endure. We so ngam la. Why donchu BE MIEL.
