doubletaps

Soil & "Pimp" Sessions - Pimpoint is amazing, just out in Japan. I donlt know if anyone on this board is up on them, but they are pretty much my favorite band at the moment.

Link to the video: http://www.jvcmusic.co.jp/soilpimp/ram/VICL-36203-01F.ram

This group really is pretty damn good. The videos of them performing live were just amazing. I am so bummed that I did not make use of my opportunities to see them live (twice), cos right now I have no idea how to get hold of their music.

this is out already?

isnt it supposed to drop next month?

I miss miss miss miss miss these. Especially the white chocolate variety. Could finish a whole pack in one sitting when dunked in milk. Yumm.

UK is the godfather of sinful snacks, to me at least.

top 10 most livable cities (according to the economist): In order (1st and 2nd tied)

Vancouver, Melbourne,

Vienna,

Geneva,

Perth,

Adelaide,

Sydney, Z

Zurich,

Toronto,

Calgary

Australia and Canada looking pretty good!

Vienna in third place? For real?

I'd avoid staying in a place like that

1 liter of tears, definitely, though not a film.

remember to watch it alone

"i am sam", though i can't remember why anymore

don't know why, but the movie "crash" got me worked up, especially when Thandie Newton got violated. Didnt make me cry tho.

Seems like Grave of the Fireflies is a real tearjerker. Will start my Studio Ghibli dvd boxset marathon with that show

Some thoughts from a silent observer

From being more of a lurker than poster in this forum, I have noticed how the SuFu style is influenced more strongly by the quality of the item (hence the expensive denim, W+H hoodies and leather boots) rather than on design alone.

Another thing is that the suburban American look seems to pop up quite often (Vans, plaids, jeans). I have nothing against it (in fact I am somewhat inspired by it).It just strikes me that no matter how well-dressed we want to look as individuals, we will ultimately be influenced by our locality. While there may be styles that we are keen to experiment with, the problem with particular brands not available, or the social setting of where we live may affect the SuFu style of our members. New Yorkers may be more likely to be seen in Supremes, while we see djrajio in his Julius. I notice a lot of interest by SuFu members towards the Japanese style of dressing and Japanese labels, but this is not as apparent in the WAYWT pages. I guess this boils down to circumstance, as Japanese clothes may not be easily obtainable aside from some cities (I don't know, I am not American).

I enjoy it when people dress in the manner acceptable to Superfuture-ians, ie with the ideal fit and make, and yet still manage to incorporate their identity into them. I mean rirawin, cheep, bill, and ayn may each be wearing a pair of dior 19cms (just an example, i don't know what jeans they have in common), but they way they 'rock' their outfits will be vastly disparate.

But I enjoy it even more when some of you's trespass the realm of Superfuture acceptability and still look smashing.

ps: my opinion isn't out to get at anyone.

sorry for being a mere observer and not an active participant; where I work

fashion is punishable by death

pps:and kudos to the singaporean sufu's who have been adding diversity to the WAYWTs and for their take on the SuFu style in MoFo humid weather

Hello people

Just wanted to know where in Singapore can I get Acne/Umbro Kim Jones or similar?

Do places that sell APC jeans sell their clothing line as well?

I see a USC plastic bag:eek:.These people made me stay away from Lacoste and Fred Perry.

jojo's bizarre adventure

best. anime. ever.

LOOK!

Just like its name suggests, BIZARRE. Read a bit of the manga, didn't get watch the anime though.

Am not really a fan of anime, their comparably slow pace always get to my nerves. Used to prefer reading the manga.

Don't do much anime or manga anymore nowadays.

Only been watching Bleach (still at the beginning). My friend got me into Honey and Clover, it's like watching a J-drama in animation, with the advantage of doing things not possible in dorama.

No one into J-drama? Train man and 1 litre of tears (ignore the title) is really fun to watch.

Heya.. Which part of KL are you from?

Am staying in an area called OUG near the Bukit Jalil National Stadiums. Are you a KL-ite too?

hell

if some people can withstand the heat of singapore whilst parading around in their bape parkas, what's 21oz denim eh

haha so true!

As if the air conditioning in our malls are THAT cold.

Could never understand people who do that, I've even seen some anglophiles with woollen scarves around their necks. Like wtf.

Oh, and also people who wear shades indoors or at night

Both tight jeans and heavy jeans are thieves to the family jewels. Ice packs necessary once at home

Hi all Singaporean superfutureans

I am an old forum stalker, but relatively new forum member from Kuala Lumpur

Great to see that there are so many of you Singaporeans here. If only there are as many Malaysians. Don't see many people in KL wearing clothes the "superfuture way" hehe, unlike Singapore.

Anyway I am just curious about a few things,

1) How is it like wearing Nudies or APC's in our hot tropical weather? I am predicting chaffing.

2) Really good to hear that so many 'superfuture-ian' denims available in Singapore. Will make my way down there to get a pair this CNY. Question though, are they more expensive in Singapore than via online stores? How much is a pair of, say, SJDJ and APC NS?

3) How did you guys manage to buy from Rakuten anyway? The whole thing is in Japanese. They deliver to Singapore?

Borrowing the thread for a sec.

I've ordered a trip to Singapore for a couple of days and then I'm of to Kuala Lumpur.

Are there any any particular spots that i shouldn't miss? I'm mainly after streetwear.

I've also thought about getting a tailored suit in either Singapore or KL, anyone got any experience or advices? And what can I expect the price to be for this in Singapore and KL?

For streetwear in KL, there's mainly just one place to go and that's Sungai Wang Plaza (Bukit Bintang Monorail Station). Mainly on the 1st and 2nd floor.

Look out for:

Miz 29 (1st floor)

Kidults(local streetwear)

Boundlezz (Original Fake, Clot, Stussy etc)

Plastic (local)

3point6 (local)

Extreme (local and surf).

Also nearby is the Berjaya Times Square. It's a half dead mall, but there are a few good streetwear haunts on the 6th floor:

Seekers

Resident

Crossova

Showroom. There's also a Borders there.

I like 1 Utama and The Curve in the Damansara area. 1 Utama has lots of good shops in it (Nike Specialty,Converse,Brooks Brothers). The Curve has got nice restaurants, a flea market on Sundays, a shopping complex and a cineplex. It's in the suburbs so you'll need to take a taxi there. Won't be too expensive, just make sure they charge by the meter.

KLCC and MidValley malls shouldnt be missed too. Both are easily reached by the public rail. Many local and international labels. Apparently there are some indie clothes to be found in the Central Market Annexe, but I haven't been there myself.

Being from KL myself, I'd recommend KL. However, it really boils down to what you want to do here.

Shopping: there are real differences between KL and Singapore. While I would think that KL is not far behind Singapore when it comes to high fashion labels, there is a big difference in terms of streetwear. The streetwear scene is definitely bigger in Singapore, and there's a much bigger variety of kicks stores and specialty clothing stores over there. So don't expect to buy Nudie jeans in Kuala Lumpur. But clothes can be inexpensive here in KL. The local brands (both street and generic) can be really cheap after conversion for you westerners, for reasonably well designed clothes. You guys may think that Bangkok offered the best in cheap clothes, I thought so too until I went there myself only to return disappointed.

So Singapore for streetwear, KL for the low price.

Food: A KL person would always argue that KL has better food than Singapore. Personally I feel that Singapore offers more cosmopolitan cuisine, but for real South East Asian food you've gotta come to KL for the real thing. Street food in KL is hard to beat. And no, most places won't leave you with diarrhoea. But of course knowing where to eat is just important, or else you may be disappointed.

People: Both are equally friendly.

Transport: Singapore definitely wins here. KL is as what they say here, traffic is crap .The public rail gets you to most places you need to see, but is not as extensive as singapore's. Things are better this year being the Visit Malaysia Year tho. There's some sort of a tourist bus, I think.

All in all, Singapore strikes to me as urban, clean, westernized, organized. KL is a whole hodgepodge, and feels more Asian.
