Tayang your Tshirt, Love!

modular-ksubi xmas funfair party 2006

2009-03-18T12:27:00.000-07:00

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.

Chromeo retrospective reminisce sometimes

2009-03-18T11:24:00.000-07:00

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

2009-02-12T04:51:00.000-08:00

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.

(shirt spotted on display at buntil, Sungei Wang).

US Beer Drinking Team

2009-02-12T03:14:00.000-08:00

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

2009-02-11T10:12:00.000-08:00

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

2009-02-11T10:01:00.000-08:00

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.

KK is OK

2009-02-11T07:55:00.000-08:00

We represent the east side of hustlers!KK city, the struggle.The hood.KK city, yo it's all good!

OK that was annoying.Forgive the blackspeak and bad asian attempt at rapping. This is a random guy i spotted at the side of the DJ deck at Shennanigans. No,I did not get his name, nor did I get to ask where he got the shirt from, what the brand was.etc.I was off my head that nite as per usual.I could barely even walk or sit,let alone talk.But I did manage to guzzle drinks down and at the same time snap this photo.

This shirt screams KK, maan. It is awesome.I love my city.Land of the uncultured and uncouth.I wouldnt trade it for any place on earth.

(Ok I would maybee trade it for Sydney)

Lacoste sighting

2009-02-11T07:43:00.000-08:00

It is always a welcome change to see a girl out at a pub dressed down,wearing a tshirt, skinny jeans and selipar jipuns. This outfit is by far more welcome in my books compared to seeing a girl wear a dress with a lot of glitter, buttons and more see through material than a saran wrapped frozen chicken.Maybe because the ammount of glitter on your outfit is almost a predeterminer of how annoying and Ah Lien you will be to me?Fuck knows.I wear tshirts to clubs.I may not look as nice as your girlfriend, but at least I can squat and vomit comfortably at the post-clubbing mamak/kedai kopi toilet.

This tshirt is LACOSTE, baybee.A very rare sight in KK, the city of Nike adoration (my ex highschool even had a gardener that fashioned a Nike swoosh landscape out of lalang and grass on the side of our hill).

(photo of Baby taken at Edgars)

I gave up sex, drug and drink.

2009-02-11T07:12:00.000-08:00

Story of my life
(did not realize sleazy Malay guy behind me).

(fished the tshirt out from a bargain bin at a Show Pink Junkyard sale. i think the brand is Peter Pink?I dont remember.i lost the shirt somewhere.i really don't make a good reporter.)

high fidel-ilty

2009-01-20T07:42:00.000-08:00

I think I have found the embodiment of trashy personified. Meet Fidel, crazy man from the U.K. Looks kind of scary but is actually very nice.Part of the Applicants.

He is seen below here wearing his band shirt. Our brief interchange:
Fidel: I made some Applicants t-shirts actually this week. I think they look really good, but i made way too many big ones, so we can only have fat fans until i order some more.
Me: I piled on way too many kilos over the December holidays. I ate too much cake. Can I be a temporary fat fan?

Everyone can be fat fans of the Applicants for just 8 pounds.Check out their myspace.

Here's more of him looking very camera friendly,very boy next door.

go fuck my Wu?same to you!Shens 17/01/09

2009-01-18T02:41:00.000-08:00

Bumped into Chee last nite at Shens!Tried to offer him some of my smuggled whiskey (old habits die hard) but he politely said no.Anyhow,he told me his shirt was bought in Hong Kong.Apparently Daniel Wu (hottest of the hot HK superstar with the very powderful amelikaan enggrish bacause he raised in amedika, not asia) has a clothing line out called Kang Kwei Wong Mo or something else in cantonese (I unfortunately do not speak my language).It literally translates to 'Go Fuck Your Mum'.

I was mildly interested in this little bit of trivia so when I woke up this afternoon I tried to google the line,but all i found was that Daniel Wu is collaborating with a clothing company called 'Know1edge'.

So, Chee, either i heard you wrong or you is lying to me and poking fun at this banana!

Apart from Chee, I also spotted a guy with a very mantap and manly mohullet (mohawk + mullet), drinking Coronas like nobodys bidness. He was with a whole group of men also growing mohullets on their heads. I dont know if this is a new trend of machismo in KK, or if they're a part of some secret society, like Kelab Myvi or Persatuan Satria Neo or something.But I wanted to take a photo of the whole group, and make a collage or a manhunt calender or something for my single (and available!) hot friend, Intan.But i was still too sober and thus, too chicken.

Ceh, perasan punya band. I was taking a photo of Mr. Mohullet!

Pretty much self-explanatory when you see this in a club, really. And at this point, bajinkies I really was quite hammered.

But if a carpenter wore this instead of your regular clubber, the intertextual play on words would be quite funny.

And if this imaginary carpenter worked for MC Hammer one day, and the carpenter said something like 'hey, wanna touch my.. tool kit' and then some porn music comes out, something like 'cika pwow wow cika pwow wow..' and then MC Hammer says 'yo its hammer time'. Ok i'm imagining too much.

Also saw that a lot of guys were wearing buttoned up polo shirts now.If KK has a whole clan of macho men in mohullets, theres another whole group of sensitive emo types with clear skin, skinny arms and skinny jeans equipped with a fresh positive outlook to life.Like born again Christians only not because they would actually go to bed with you and not give a fuck about the sanctity of marriage.Your boyfriend with the mohullet beating on you again?They would be there for you...they'd understand.

faker manenens

2009-01-16T08:59:00.000-08:00

I was combing through old pictures of bands I've watched and i couldnt help but notice how sendat tight these boys from Faker wear their shirts.

you know you're shirt is too tight when you can tell the weather report by just looking down at your nipples:

'2 centimetres of expansion!fall winds are now running through Sydney with cool earterly winds to compensate in the areas of Newtown and Epping.a light shower will soon follow at 5pm today'.

still i am a perve and do quite like the sight of a perky manenen, it is second only to the sight of aussie indie boys in their skinnny skinny jeans with their answer to the woman's cameltoe: the cameltail.

hey man, nice tits

2009-01-16T08:48:00.000-08:00

why is it that a guy can wear a tshirt with a half naked woman on it, nuzzled between his own spectacular tits, but a girl cant wear one with a gigantic hairy penis on it?placed between the bust,so we can all become walking tittie-fucks.

on another note,how do i get tits like that hot centaur?how can i look upwards and toss my hair behind me and feel free in a garden.i don't have tits like that.my life of fantasy is ruined and now i am relegated to a desk job.

(pic taken of anonymous 'eh tak nak nama tak nak letak nama' employee of a 2nd hand clothing store)

nipples and tits,nipples and tits.gotta get me some nipples and tits.

what more is there to ask for,yeah?fairly simple request from men.so ok.fine.we give you.

just don't ask why one is always bigger than the other.

(pic taken of shirt sold at Doubt Second Hand Clothing, Penang)

dude, your car looks like an idiot

2009-01-11T07:59:00.000-08:00

No matter how much i like tshirts, and no matter how much I love my car and detest new stains forming on the seats(damn my love for nescafe during long drives home,i keep forgetting im not supposed to shake the can so much and i end up spraying my entire car with coffee foam) for the love of god i am not gonna dress up the seats in my car using old oversized tshirts to 'protect' them from sweat stains and give the interior a personalized look la konon.

So you have enough money to join marathons in peninsular malaysia (this pic was taken in kk), and you suck on a Tupperware water bottle instead of a disposable mineral water bottle one like the rest of us out there.but you dont want to spend, like what, 200 ringgit on car cushion upholstery?

i am for once, left speechless.

the tickle monster is coming!

2009-01-11T07:08:00.000-08:00

you know what i really hate?
the problem about tickles is,when a person asks you 'are you ticklish?'

it doesn't matter whether you say yes or no, they are still going to fucking tickle you.

this is eve,by the way.or rather,her tits.took this photo before we went to watch Spirit at GSC One Borneo.what a lousy crap fest of a movie.that is definitely 2 hours of my life wasted,which i will never be able to get back yet always remember.because it was so bad,stupid images and lousy dialogue were seared into my consciousness,not unlike a horrible car accident seen at a very young age. or walking into your parents having sex.

vietnamese beef tripe trolloppe

2009-01-11T06:48:00.000-08:00

My friend Zedeck went to Vietnam and all he got was this lousy tshirt.

I'm lying to myself again.its not that lousy its actually pretty cool.its just a reminder of me never actually playing the good neighbour and never actually setting foot on any countries near Malaysia except Singapore, and Thailand (which doesn't really count,because i was only there for a day,and i only really set foot barely 6 kilometers across the border and went nuts for awhile second hand shopping at Khrong Nek or Klong Nrek or something).

So the closest i will ever get to Vietnam is eating beef noodles at a Vietnamese restaurant while staring at a guy wearing a Vietnamese flag tshirt.

Aaaand,said guy is giving that bloody coy smirk with another guy pinching his nipple.It's like the country,Vietnam itself,is mocking me and going 'nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh,you'll never see me!pffffft!'

Fuck you,Zedeck.I'm just gonna sit at home and watch my Apocalypse Now dvd.

feel my pain,i am emo,bitch.

2009-01-11T06:12:00.000-08:00

i feel pain,and i feel you
this heart on my chest
don't you see?
will you see?
my heart is a machine
my heart is a clenched fist
yet it bleeds
it bleeds, BITCH!
and i stare at you
my empty gaze
seeing lies and screaming WHORE!
but while i lie down
in a fetal position
and taste my tears
i will still count
the petals of my love
now on the floor
dead
like my heart
like me.

(i'm sorry ron,i couldnt resist.its a cool tshirt but it is pretty emo,what with the whole bleeding heart graphic and all.and i dont have any emo friends.could you do a genre change just for me?start wearing black all the time and trade mascara with me?)

ok nevermind.FOR THE RECORD, MY FRIEND RON IS NOT EMO/SCREAMO.he is in a pretty awesome band called Furniture and is also part of a sexy rock outfit, Ciplak.

If nobody wants you, Cobra wants you

2008-11-09T07:57:00.000-08:00

Cobra Commander - The leader and founder of Cobra, from the cartoon G.I Joe. His face is almost always obscured either by a hood with only his eyes visible or by a high tech battle helmet with various security features integrated into it. He is regarded as the most dangerous man on Earth, because he can draw followers to him. He is hatred personified!A madman with the drive of a fanatic!

Achieve instant brownie points and high fiiives! from other cooler men when they see this famous villain from their preschool Saturday morning cartoon memories. And perhaps score with the confused ladies when they see the words '..Bra...wants you' on your chest as you dance seductively in front of them.

(Another amazing tee from Junkfood, worn by Wan).

Honey, you're so sweet you're giving me a toothache.

2008-11-09T05:35:00.000-08:00

Forgive the blurry pic, I took this after an intense girly bowling match that involved a lot of trash talking, victory dances, bizarre rituals and giggle fits with my peoples so my hand was sore. This is my friend, Rini, professional hottie and the girl who spoke in Iban in that Maybank tv ad. Her boyfriend bought her this Ed Hardy tee and I think it's so sweet because it says 'dedicated to the one I love' over the front.

Okay.Collectively.Everyone. Say...'awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww'

(Everyone should buy an Ed Hardy tee because Madonna wears it, and Madonna is cool. Therefore if you wear Ed Hardy, you will be cool. Don't any of you see the logic in this?!!)

Guys make grrreat accessories!

2008-11-09T05:23:00.000-08:00

YES! Guys make great accessories, because they have extra pockets to fish money out from when you need to pay for that pisang goreng you just ordered. And they can hold your hand when the illegal immigrant from across the road is whistling at you. And if your Guy Accessory is moist and meaty and in a relationship with you, he provides more cushin' for the pushin'!

I believe I can fly

2008-11-09T05:11:00.000-08:00

I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

[1]
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, oh

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

[Repeat 1]

Hey, cuz I believe in me, oh

If I can see it, then I can be it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

[Repeat 1]

Hey, if I just spread my wings
I can fly
I can fly
I can fly, hey
If I just spread my wings
I can fly
Fly-eye-eye

Manly man aquaman

2008-11-09T04:07:00.001-08:00

Serioouusssss badaakk. Aquaman was a very hot superhero who never got enough credit because he had somewhat cheesy superpowers (The ability to talk to sea creatures? Swim at super speeds?And, uhh..'see' through the eyes of nearby fish?Haha lame-o.).

But you have to admit, the blondie looked fuckin' cun in his underwear and tights. And a girl always wonders: if a guy can hold his breath that long underwater, maybe he could spend some extra time on his lady love when he's headed down south during bedroom athletics.

Anyways this is Marwan, manly man extraordinaire because he is wearing an Aquaman tee from Junk Food.

Pretty soon sexy sluts will be crowding around you like this la, bro.

I got it from my momma.

2008-11-09T03:46:00.000-08:00

This is my mummy, Rita. She is very,very, veryyyyy into being a part of Girl Guides, and she has a lot of guiding t shirts to prove it. I particularly like this one she got from a camping trip she had in Korea. It says 'What do girl scouts do?..Work in small groups, make their own decisions, plan and carry out their own activities...explore the great outdoors...learn arts and crafts...sing dance and make music...have 'adventures'...just have fun!..and many others'.

Mum has always been disapointed that I never got rabidly excited over the whole Girl Guides thing. And she was completely mortified when I told her I wore this 'Pandu Puteri Malaysia Sabah' T shirt out clubbing at Twilight Action Girl one night.

(that's me swaying drunk on the streets outside zouk)

I'm sorry, mum.

Passing The Torch

2008-11-01T02:36:00.001-07:00

There is this certain feeling of pride, when you dive into a whole pile of dirty, stinky, second hand clothes, and in the midst of black, blue and various shades of suspicious stains something pleasantly yellow attracts your attention, and you fish this out : A Bruce Springsteen T shirt, biiitches!

A young, wild, Malay man, with romantic mullet hair cascading down his back, who used to play lead guitar in a band in Ipoh, with dreams of being the next big thing on Juara Lagu probably wore this shirt before Hanic here was even born. And while he sold this shirt off and settled for a house in Damansara and a 9 to 5 executive job, Bruce Springteen lives on, wild and free, on a woman in Penang, who is drinking God knows what from that brown bag.

i need to learn how to print my own graphic tees

2008-10-31T01:22:00.000-07:00

Can anyone teach me this majestic art of printing my own tee shirts?I Youtubed it one day and the video I watched was either too complicated, or I just lost too many braincells from car wrecks, drunken shopping trolley rides and home made vodka.

If you are in KK, and you are a friendly person and also not a sexual predator, perhaps we could meet up. I could be very entertaining, and you could teach me something new. And you will have 10 seconds of fame on my wonderful blog!

Yes.You are Sooooo worthy.

Meantime this is just a pic of something I did ages ago, which I learnt from a hot Asian I met in a Salvation Army store one day. She gave me an idea for the average person out there that has a simple black tee with a 'Message to the World'. You can get some bleach, pour it out into a small bowl, get a tiny little art brush, dip it into the bleach and write whatever you want onto the shirt (remember to put a disposable barrier between the the two layers of the shirt, like say a magazine.Or your framed up virginity pledge I know some of you have out there). Then ta-dah! Like Jessica Simpson's move from failed pop star to up-and-rising country singer, A new saga is re-born!

A whole new level of beautiful.

2008-10-30T13:16:00.000-07:00

This guy right here?Walking around in KL with that fedora, and those casually tucked sunglasses into his tight v-neck black t shirt?And looking FUCKING HIP with a scarf tied to his wrist?Achieving a whole new level of beautiful with this entire dark ensemble and not ending up looking like a pansy or an emo goth of the Ah Beng variety?

I would just secretly poke him to see if he was real, and run away scared because I could actually find myself stalking him everyday.

Do you,barack n roll?

2008-10-30T05:54:00.000-07:00

Yo, c'mon feel the Ill-iNOISE!!!

Barack Hussein Obama II is a junior United States Senator from Illinois. He is the first ever African American presidential nominee for a major political party (the Democratic Party) and he is running in this year's United States Presidential Elections.

Obama is a tall, dark and handsome man and he looks very becoming on anyone's chest. Particularly this young gentleman's chest. If i saw this guy, wearing this shirt, on a beach, I would instantly gravitate towards him and laugh and fling my hair about in a trashy manner, trying vainly in an effort to seduce him. But he would walk away from me because I would look like an Asian try-hard. And so i would walk home, confused. Wondering if it was him I truly fell for, or the handsome black man on his chest.

Aisha decided to cut the sleeves off an oversized man's tee and turned it into a beautiful shrine of sexiness to the ultimate god of lust himself, mister Robert De Niro.apparently she has to wear a tube inside but i say HELLA NO! the instantaneous now-you-see-it-now-you-dont side boob surprise is a darling to behold, aisha.this is especially more so in shah alam, and especially among the rempit community.

'Tayang'(Malay) - show, to display, to screen, to show

american athletics t shirt bought from a bargain bin sale at parkson ria circa 1998.got smitten with the sexy lady pushing her hips out. from afar people have often mentioned that they thought it was mother mary on my bust until they took a closer look.
i love this t shirt, bebi.

peanut butter what?

2008-10-28T03:11:00.000-07:00

so normally, i am not a fan of funny printed tshirts.like those 'message' tshirts that go like 'FUCK YOU STOP STARING' or 'MY BOYFRIEND WILL KICK YOUR ASS'.pfft.boring.but the first time i saw my friend Wayne, at Blunote (mind you the OLD Blunote, after they switched to electronic music but BEFORE they turned it into a yuppie haven for old datuks and sons of datuks), he was wearing a black tshirt with loud pink lettering saying 'peanut butter mother fucker'.now that is a riot.those words can be your mantra on a friday nite.

'don't mess with me,brother.coz i am a...'

TINA!!!COME GET SOME HAM!!!

2008-10-28T02:52:00.000-07:00

so everybody loves t shirts, riiight? i mean, what else is there to wear that is so comfortable and easy and so fashionably cool that it is not so in your face and yet it also makes you think ' shit yeah i think i look alright?'

first hipster shot goes to my best girlfren, hanic the manic, she is down with the brown and she is snapped here wearing a 'tina, you fat lard!come get some dinner' tshirt from napolean dynamite.photo op was done amidst loud white tourists on the way to sungei wang
