Wishlisted; Aiaiai Captial Headphones.

(Tried a pair of these headphones today. Really great thumping bass...but I can see why those headphones could get uncomfortable in a few hours. Sure, there are cheaper cans that are more comfortable and sound better, but these look so good, and they can take a whacking)

Really itching to get a new tablet (the Intuos 5 specifically). But really, I have to tell myself to stop buying clothes and save up. I am so bad at managing my money.

I can imagine playing The Modern Architecture Game, only to be put to shame by drawing out some card with a moderately obscure architect which I don't know, but probably should know. Or probably some really glaringly obvious other house of Frank Lloyd Wright like the Robie House or something and I will be hitting my head on the wall while my archi friends laugh at my stupidity.

I think it would be useful for second years doing that history unit. Those poor people having to remember 5 different FLW houses, or the spelling of that cathedral Alvar Alto built. I probably need a revision of my architecture history anyhow.

A modified desk, where you place your bicycle and burn fat while you work. I'm assuming the bicycle is 'BYO'.

If this was real I would be rubbing my dirty fingerprints all over my newly acquired iPhone 4S listening to GlaDos's hilarious suggestions.

One month till my birthday! Whoop. So I'm making a wishlist of things I'd like to get as gifts (wow, this is so narcissistic of me).

1. Games (specific smallish list here)
2. a tall pie baking tin
3. retro clock
4. a good quality pair of headphones
5. architecture/design themed books
6. Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis (can you imagine, I've never read the whole thing! I'm missing out on life!)

Polaroid Film

It's back! And I want it now that summer's coming - too bad I'm broke.

Back to Procastinating on Design Websites

Besides sleeping off my cold, it is a known fact that I love procrastinating by looking at design websites. For example, I was parading lurking around on swissmiss when I saw this beautiful looking thing that holds trace.

Description:

The ubiquitous roll of trace has long adorned architects' desks. As ours inevitably wound up in a drawer, only to succumb to marks and tearing, we had in our minds that there should be a better place for such an important tool. The result is Place for Trace.

Yes, you know why I want this right now. My poor roll of trace (also known as Mr Tiger Paper) is hiding underneath my drawing board, waiting to be flaunted on a piece of wood.

Baggu

I don't need a new bag, but I love the design of this one so much. Plus it's on sale! Man, I should get a job.

WANT.

Ever since Abbey let me play around with her Copic markers, I have never coveted over a 36 set so much until now. Markers without obnoxious bleeding edges when you shade? YES please.

Me and my brother were gushing about how awesome and great those markers were at Jacksons. Unfortunately they are at $10 per marker which is too expensive for me (isn't the 36 set usually around $250?). I was thinking of getting them overseas at Asia. Maybe when my friends take their usual trip back to Penang I might nag them to get some Copics for me.

Christmas Wishlist

1. Portfolio Bag

Felt portfolio bag from Kikki-K at an overblown price and not very stable construction. Buttttt, it is A3 size. And it is perfect for uni. And it actually looks good, unlike that stupid bulky bag that is my only thing that can contain a laptop! *cries*

2. Camcorder

My plans to get a new camcorder are actually for next year. But when I looked at the specs of the Canon HF S21, the (semi) great manual controls, and full HD recording, and the native 24p I started gnashing my teeth. Why do I have to wait till next year, why?

3. Holga

Holgasareoveratedtoycameraswhichhipstersuseandyouknowhipstersarelosersandthinktheyarenon-conformistbuttheyreallyareI WANT ONE NOW

You can never have too much cameras bitches.



What I really got for Christmas

A pack of Moleskines, for $7.

Sad face.
