Do you ever
try to look at your clothes differently? it's so liberating to come up with new looks for old clothes. on left, this mono-colour scheme reminds us of our previous obsession with colour-on-colour. on the right, same c-o-c concept but done with prints and patterns. designs by jason wu.

This Chinese New Year,
reconnect. catch red cliff and ip man. read zaobao fukan. buy the fascinating yu dan DVD and marvel at teachings of confucius and zhuangzi. visit chinese culture centres. revise great classic novels. learn about chinese painting - we love its elegance - through this really great site. then, plan your wardrobe and make this year's CNY a fun sartorial affair while you're at it!
beautiful photograph from here.

these shades of purple, blue & yellow work so well together. the picture on the left looks unexplainably arresting upclose (click on it to see!). via design for mankind, via a nice idea every day.

Maximum minimalism
WL and i go to art museums. we don't always enjoy ourselves, but we almost always get something out of our visits. last week, a friend and i went to the Is It Tomorrow Yet? exhibition at SAM. the IITY covers key modern art movements in europe and USA. this time, we clarified a longstanding misunderstanding we've had about minimalist art: we now know that we mistook MA for abstract expressionism and that sometimes a blank yellow canvas can just be a blank yellow canvas. ah and we walked away with lots of great interior decoration ideas as well(!). now on till 1 March 2009. above work by frank stella.

while we're kind of still on the topic of travel. photograph of our hometown by muhd firdaus. via culture push.
the cover of this cookbook looks good enough already. available for purchase at casual poet but leave a copy for us(!).

PLUS(!) 10 entries would be randomly picked and treated with soon lee shopping vouchers. photo by chris craymer.
The land variously called Israel and Palestine
is a small, (10,000 square miles at present) land at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea. During its long history, its area, population and ownership varied greatly. The present state of Israel occupies all the land from the Jordan river to the Mediterranean ocean, bounded by Egypt in the south, Lebanon in the north, and Jordan in the East.
The recognized borders of Israel constitute about 78% of the land. The remainder is divided between land occupied by Israel since the 1967 6-day war and the autonomous regions under the control of the Palestinian autonomy. The Gaza strip occupies an additional 141 square miles south of Israel, and is under the control of the Palestinian authority.
