UK yanahchi style

yang ah chi means gangster

yankee in japanese

its quite gangster but its not like yakuza gangster

something more milder than yakuza or jo pok

just some bad ass kids, like hoodlums?? ya man

me and danny we were speaking about it, and danny is quite

bourgeois but he has quite yangachi experience, and i have been

living quite random life...so yeah

anyway we did analysis about UK yangachi

and its quite interesting

and we both lived in murder street

OK first of all in the EAST END

its

MUSIC: GRIME

CAR: PEUJEOT OR VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GTI


CLOTHES : NIKE CHU RI RING *NIKE TRAINING SUIT

aka the CHAV look (ali-g)
SHOES: according this UK ghetto titty magazine, NUTS, most common footwear found
in london crime scenes were

NIKE AIR MAX SERIES ; airmax 95, airmax 97, airmax 1 / reebok classic


FOOD: chicken cottage & fish n chips


i also consider this thing also as a UK yangachi


me and danny and utak tried almost everything in the above

except for the nike training suit

we prefer john galliano

say hi to lovely day











yes i had a very lovely day

i came to london 1 week ago

and was kind of stress work work work everyday

then for the weekend,i stayed in east london

murder street apt where my friend lives

and it was really fun but really INTENSE WEEKEND

i kinda hurt my arm playing nintendo wii...

i dont even remember wat i did

and it took me about 3 days to kind of wake up and be normal

and today is that kind of day.

and today is the kind of day i should go to agency (storm)...

and stom office is near harrods~

so i went to harrods with danny~!!!!!!!

yaho

shopping shopping yeah

also harvey nichols

yeah i hate selelction at harrods so old

i lovelovelove dover street market best then, selfridges then harvey nichols then harrods last.

too old style for me.

at mens section i waas soooooo amazed by john galliano

SERIOUSLY BEST STYLED SHOW EVER

i like this gangster yankee looking chu-ri-ning ? training suit? track suit?

super gangster but it cost more than dolce suit (danny has one super cool!)

ANYWAY SS08 inspiration is....gangster & arab cyber punk?










OHHHHHHHHH<3<3<3<3

me and danny agree, john galliano is BEST show styling BEST show and BEST BEST BEST

but....

the actual pieces are quite different in retail? anyway if you want to wear john galliano,

u wear only john galliano head to toe.


i really liked marni mens....

and ofcourse dries van noten, but the collection is quite GAY

i would wear it, but i wonder if straight men would go for it.

its quite transparent and see though etc...

but they should. its great!


so me and danny were looking at dior homme, i love dior homme by kris van ache

i HATE men wearing skinnny pants, even if ur skinny u shouldnt wear it

cos u look like a fish and its annoying un bearable and if ur a fat man

then ofcourse, u shouldnt wear it

RELAX!

wear loose pants...

try kris van ache silouhette (sorry bad spelling)

danny bought it and its amazing <3


we went to eat tenpanyaki and took cabs everywhere cos we had ghetto east london

weekend so this week is more posh...

we came home and tried gangster styling and somehow in the end i became 70s style

and danny became....gangster then arabic

we always end up being arabic

why? why why

i think london gives you a, gangster yankee arabic inspiration....

ask john galliano!

fucking england



this is brunch in ny

a few days ago

my sister came to visit

we had like 2 main dish 2 sides, 3 berninis, orange juice, coffee, morrocan mint tea

and the bill was about 60~70 USD

resonable.

in london last night

i went out for dinner with 2 very skinny friends

we went to somewhere "hip" called "hakksan"

hmmm we had silver cod, friend rice, dumplings, crab, vegetable and water (VOSS) and

1 bernini, 1 vodka tonic and dessert the bill was

120~130 Pounds.........

so its about like 260 USD.

what do i have to eat

fried chicken and kebob all the time im here in london?

london food sucks, and there are really gooooood restaurants like ROKA

but the bills like #@#####@$@#$ even when im not full

so whenver im here i just dont look at the bills i just order order order and swipe swipe swipe

with my credit card

cos i lived here before, and living in london, east end really really is fun when ur partying all the time

but when ur trying to work and have a life its sooooooo tough and annoying

hearing gun shots really encourage you

so now im in quiet abbey road eating egg custards and carrot juice sitting in the park

singing beatles, having conversations about kidnapping children that walk past us.

dealing with reality

you start to wonder

why

your face seems to glow

after the night you drank

and also you start to realise

the next day your face looks dull

so you start to do this

drink tonight and look good tommorow morning,

and then drink tommorow night for the

day after tommorow,

and you wake up one day with a headache.


so you stop for a while, and then you drink again

the champaign you got after shooting, and suddenly

you have to deal with reality and failed relationships

you get a massive headache and you come home

and pass out.

say hi to techtonik



yeaaaaaaah techtonik

my new excercise

say hi to hyun jhin baik


time of reflection

was released, only a short time ago

finally

i had this album like 2006?

:P

hyun jhin baik is an artist and

his book / exhibition is on now i think

ar arariyo gallery.


hyun jhin baik is also a singer at band uh uh boo


hyun jhin baik cant play guitar or any instruments

but he sings

and his voice is very peculiar

his music can be quite new, and old at the same time

sometimes his songs/voice scares me when he sings for uhuhboo

but i like his solo album much much much better


in person his voice isnt like this at all

he is a very tall sweet man with mutiple faces

face that changes everytime.

hi



i am sitting on a chair

feeling the sun on my face

i am in newyork since last night

i am thinking about many things.

work and mostly publishing situation.

and my guineapigs eyes.

how the fat one stares at me.

i am reading this book at the moment called

myths and legends of martial arts by peter lewis

i am thinking about a people who dont bore me.

forgetting about people who bore me.

i am listening to a song, i think it is japanese

and im thinking about a cosmic wonder boy.

i am thinking i want to ride a bicycle

and i probably will.

bye



bye

i have stepped into a new world

a new start

a change

no more hate

no more sadness

no more thoughts

my life in seoul.

hi

sorry its been a while.

i was in seoul for the past 2 weeks.

my life in seoul is quite

surreal.

its very apart from reality.

or maybe this is reality and what i have been

experiencing abroad is not.

my days are like this.

work, go home, rest, go to spa, go to massage, do yoga,

eat, drink, sleep, spend money, earn money, talk, ride

bicycle, think, read, dream.


i like being in my room in seoul

because it is undisturbed

unchanged

for many years.

i feel strange here

people are too nice to me.


life is quite easy quality wise

but mentally i feel

empty

but i feel empty all the time so its not a big deal.

so i drank.

i drank

saturday and sunday.

i drank quite alot but i couldnt get drunk.

my lips taste of last nights champaign


i took a walk yesterday on my way to brunch

i had croque madame and it was horrible


there were so many cherry blossoms

i walked and walked and walked

and saw even more cherry blossoms


2 days ago

i rode the bicycle after shooting, in the afternoon

i didnt ride it for so long

i rode my friends boyfriends bike and she rode hers.

it is beautiful spring in seoul

and we rode and rode and rode

and i almost ran over 2 people

for hours

i was lost

in the wind

and the speed


change is good.

change is scary

but change is good.
