Bruce Mau on wealth:
I'm sick of modern design.
I'm fed up with corporate cool.
I can't stand 'interior design.'
I hate those designer guys - I love 'em - but I detest that fabricated, artificial, managed, art-directed look.
I can't bear to see one more 'continuous surface.'
I've had it with perfection.
I hate the clean lines.
No more computer aided design.
Down with colour consultants.
Down with advertising. Down with PR.
Turn off TV.
Down with minimalism - we want maximalism.
Down with reduction - we want more! more! more!
Wealth?
Wealth is time.
Wealth is children.
Wealth is love.
Wealth is ideas, incention, exploration.
Wealth is books.
Wealth is collaboration, colleagues, friends, working together.
We're sick of the fake and phony.
We want it real.
Forget bandwidth.
We don't need a get-away, we need a get-to.
- When Space Meets Art

This Bruce Mau dude is fxcking awesome and I'm not just saying that because I like what he said about his studio design called 'What Makes You Wealthy'.. I really liked that design.
The other one is Tokujin Yoshioka. Number one, I hope Tokujin is his surname or that'd be a really weird first name. Number two, his design for Lexus, Peugeot, Toyota AND the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation is good shit and I mean that in the best possible way.
I just love how he captures the essence of the brand (and the subject for the museum).
I sounded like an advertisement up there :S
Maybe I'm in the wrong line.
I like this book I'm reading now. I may try to find it and buy the real thing.

Anyway, today was another day in KLCC only this time with my Mum. Spent half the time in Kinokuniya (Japanese section) .. me in the manga, music, magazine, fashion shelves and my Mum at the handicraft, sewing etc. shelves. We just stood there for a long time.
Bought this month's Kera and is pleased to know that it's filled with h.Naoto. It gets quite funny when I spot some people I know in the Street Snap section. Nice. Anyway, good thing it wasn't filled with pink and sweet lolita crap like last month. Erk. I would've murdered myself.. AGAIN.
(There is silver acrylic on my t-shirt sleeve... ick)
If I ever get lost in Tokyo like I did when I was in Tokyo, I wouldn't lurk around the Christmas tree waiting for my parents, I would take a cab, insist he drop me off in Shibuya or Harajuku and go on a shopping spree. h.Naoto, SexPotRevenge, Hell Cat Punks, Sexy Dynamite London... Aaaah, I salivate thinking of them.
Hm, I wonder if I can buy stuff online... I only know we can buy SexPotRevenge and Double Decker shoes..

Getting lost in Tokyo, erk, do not remind my parents about it. They get very emotional and freaked out. Well, it WAS Disneyland.. maybe they were afraid that Mickey IS a paedophilic walking rat who will decide to kidnap me. There must be a reason why he's always so happy around children. (Barney is a paedophile on acid and Teletubbies are just alien asylum runaways in costume)
