Location Fame - NOT. Going the Distance

Watched a movie on the plane on the way to my skiing trip. A great rom-com called GOING THE DISTANCE starring Justin Long and Drew Barrymore (lurve her!). Never before have I recognised a specific location in a movie other than famous places such as parks or landmarks... until this movie.

There's a scene in the movie where Justin's character meets up with his buddies to discuss him visiting his new long-distance girlfriend. They're eating in a diner and I instantaneously recognised the place as none other than a place I visited in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, USA, two years ago.

'Relish' The Diner in Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Yes it looks like a tin box

With a very authentic 'diner' look with a matching menu...


My picture of the diner from the inside - look familiar?
Scene from the movie : GOING THE DISTANCE (location : RELISH Diner)

Scene from 'my visit' to said diner back in 2007

(yes those blinds in the back ground are simply UNMISTAKEABLE - *trust me*

The first chance I got after getting off the plane, i got myself online and googled the movie til I confirmed I was right about the venue. Although it was bittersweet as I found out that it shut this year in July *boo* :'( *sniff* (The blog entry that confirms it here )

I remember the ambience to be authentic and the food to be amazing ... check out my blog post on it from way back in April 2007 here

Does this make me famous by association or simply desperate? Or neither? I just wanted to share with you :)

Vail Part 4

Merry Christmas Eve from the Indots from 'Lost Boy' run in Vail

A plane cuts through the perfectly cloudless blue sky

Vail is just HUGE

See what I mean - it is the biggest resort in the USA

Simply breath-taking

Marc, Ross, Jeffri & Moi on the chairlift

And that's me signing off as I wave goodbye to the stunning slopes of Vail. Time for some apres-ski innit ;)

November 2010 Update Part 2 : L3G Design - Watch this space...

What else was I up to in November? I've been setting up interviews and darting around the region having meetings with many different people both corporate and creative with regards to another new business venture I have committed myself to : L3G Design

Finally a project that I can sit and work quietly in the shadows and not be the front person of!

Check out first bit of coverage in The Star Metro last week here & here

We should have something out in The New Straits Times fairly soon as well as interviews by the likes of Society magazine Prestige and Men's Journal AugustMan due out early 2011

November 2010 Update Part 1 : Eric Kupper & PopMuseSic

So I know it's been awhile since I last blogged but I've been super busy prepping for recent gig with Eric Kupper and busy with developing two new business ventures.

First things first :

If you didn't come down to Marketplace last Friday for the Louis Roederer Champagne party you really missed out! Eric and I had a blast with all of you who did come... we premiered brand new Eric Kupper remixes of CHINA and THIS TIME. I'll post up some photos soon.

As for the other businesses I've been busy with, one is the tee shirt line / blog Pop.Muse.Sic.
Our first collection of limited edition Heart of GOLD Wildfox Tees are selling fast. If you haven't got your hands on one yet you better hurry! Check the online store here. They will make fab Christmas presents!

Juice Online gave us at PopMuseSic its first bit of media coverage which we are very excited about so a huge shout out goes to the Juice Team for their love and support :)

Saturday night saw the launch of Hanger magazine's A/W2010 edition held at a brand new venue called Hex at the PJ Trade Center.
With an uber cool and industrial decor, the party was absolutely pumping! Anyone who was anyone in the fashion and music scene, in fact anyone remotely creative, was seen there.

My favourite fairy blogger Joyce and the other third of LEFTBLOCK Michelle provided music for the earlier part of the evening and TWINKIES Arabyrd & T Nadia took over the decks with their distinct soundtrack of Bmore and bootlegs.


Both Arafah & Nadia were decked out in Wildfox tees available only through Pop.Muse.Sic. How can anyone resist them?

WORLD AIDS DAY 2010


Contribute to this year's WORLD AIDS day.... here are a couple of facts for you...



Read about what some of us have done this year as reported by MSN Malaysia

So get on with it then! It'll take you literally minutes, to simply say what you feel about AIDS, the fight against it, the hope we have its demise, the love we have for those affected by it.. whatever you want to say.
