DJI you been to Fuji Mart near Prahran market? I'm pretty sure they stock it in a few flavours. In the city maybe that place near china town that used to be a commbank?

edit: yeah as du above said

[shilent]

i actually ordered off revolve.. They made me wait about 3 days before shipping to 'verify' that i was the cardholder after i had paid, and when they were done with that they said they didn't have what i ordered in stock. bastards.

Called up incu and they have the CP achilles at $619. lol

[DJI]

cheers playahater and T, been craving that stuff since I got back from japan haha (men's pocky is the shit).

[Tyro1]

I know fuji mart have men's pocky. They got calpis in the milk carton too

[Ivans On High]

never had Calpis, what's it like?

[Playahater]

Kinda like sweet milky water, hard to explain but it's very refreshing on a hot day. Same goes with Calpis Soda which is just more fizzy. Personally prefer it far more than Coke/Fanta etc.

Survived on the stuff when I was in Japan during their summer.

[notsicknorwell]

malaysian and singaporean dudes, which brand of kaya is the best? also where to cop japanese pocky? most asian grocers only stock the thai version that's made from inferior chocolate.

Uhhh sorry to disappoint Damien but ballers make their own. However if you have a list of brands in grocers I can look through it to see if I've seen them in stores back home.

[DJI]

haha, I'm too lazy to cook my own atm N. premium calpis is intense...

I'll drop by the azn market here tomorrow morning and look at some brands to see if any pass muster... I think Singaporeans like Ya-Kun brand? All of the mass-produced stuff is ehhh though.

[DJI]

thanks man. I haven't been back for nearly 3 years now so tbh pretty much anything will do right now.

[fenrost]

i love calpis, my summer drink..

and kayas... I remember seeing variety of brands in Laguna@QV.. tried a few.. none that are memorable..they are all just below mediocre.

went to EM few days ago, and went to Nasi Lemak House, which just around the corner... and had cendols.. nicee.

[DJI]

man it's been ages since I had proper cendol, love it. cendol I had at mamak in sydney earlier this year wasn't even close, will have to try nasi lemak house soon. maybe I'll have to go back to singapore/KL for a short food holiday.

[fenrost]

^ haha ..oh god.. the list can go on forever about foods in kl/sg

[jcotteri]

i totally feel those pangs of hunger.. I had some Japanese tonight. It was niiiiice surprisingly?

I have to go back in November~December for a birthday, got a list of food I want to eat the length of my arm. Will be missing Animal Collective though

^ sell me your ticket?

[fenrost]

Grail ccp fencing in klang's thread... lucky 44s!

[Tyro1]

Great jacket. I've never understood how some could own something like that and only have worn it 5 times though?

[DJI]

^ too many jawns, not enough time? ccp leathers don't suit my body type at all, or perhaps I need a 42 but they're by custom order only.

procrastination makes you start think about all the delicious food you could go out and look for.

[kino]

what do you think of these http://www.idheart.net/products/detail2473.html

DJI? Compared to last seasons? red looks real good imo

[DJI]

I haven't seen any actual product shots of the midwinter gasmask bag, the leather this season is really something else though. it doesn't actually have gasmask snaps though, it's a zip closure. imo the red bag would be too effeminate for a guy, but would be really nice for a girl.

you should if it's gonna be your ever lasting jawn....

[DJI]

nah the styles aren't really for me either, too clean/simple for my taste.

japanese pocky ain't cheap in melbourne, cheapest place in the cbd (asian supermarket on russel) was still ~$4 a box and kirin afternoon milk tea was $10 for a 1.5L bottle (wasn't even the "special milk tea"). tried korean rice milk for the first time, shit is surprisingly nice and a hell of a lot cheaper than japanese imported foods/drinks so bought a couple litres of it haha. also got some lotte fruits candy and yeo's kaya, so easy to piss the day away rather than do something useful...

[Ivans On High]

Had a can of Calpis water today. Not really doing it for me. Though I could spends days in those asian grocers. Fucking love them.

[fenrost]

i need to handle a leather fencing! there is a size 48 cotton fencing in EM... not my size, but I find the fencing style hard to pull off... and din't like the cotton.. can't remember.. was it denim? or object dyed cotton?

i still prefer overlock or disjointed elbow personally.. : \

What flavor?

Gonna head to china town and kop some Shins.. lulz.

[DJI]

shin ramyun is the bomb, could live off that shit if I had to. it's $10 for a box of 20 at the korean place near the corner of swanston and latrobe.

melon calpis is 39c a can at laguna, weird flavour compared to the other sodas though... also pepero is shit compared to pocky. :\

didnt even realize that it has a zipper instead of the snaps...thanks for the insight!

I can't believe how good the Chronicles 1914-1918 shoe looks in real life.

Some guy is selling another on Ebay for $250 instant - I'd get them in a heartbeat, but he doesn't do exchanges or returns.

HI guys, so my second time going to melbourne will be coming up! In december will melbourne be very hot? Last time I was there in about september, the weather was freezing in the morning to hot in the day, to a storm in the early afternoon.

The last time I went, the social program involved Citiclub on Queens (CQ), but that place wasnt that good, and the Queens Bridge Hotel in Southbank.

I am going with some asian fellas and they love some asian clubs. Could anyone offer recommendations on what spots to hit? For those of you who are familiar with sydney, the spots I'd hit are Bamboo and Veranda Bar. Melbourne equivs would be sick!

Thanks guys!
