Monday blues…make way for specs of RED!
Just a short pictorial blogpost to show how ReD can be used in some logos.
How a specs of Red makes everything pop in a logo.
Enjoy and have a good week ya’ll!
Thats it folks. Hope it helped for some who are looking for inspirations.
All rights of the logos belongs to their respective owners of course! 
I have this obsession for shoes and sandals.
Not just any shoes (or sandals). Not ones that people would wear cos its ‘the now’ look.
But the ones that tell stories. Or at least talks to me.
I’d like to think that every single pair of footwear owned by anyone, has a history of its own.
Or, a reason why they bought it.
Its not about the brand. But about how much of the YOU in the shoe.
At least thats how i think.
I dont buy shoes cos of the megasale.
I get them cos i relate to it. And vice versa.
Because what i put on my feet, becomes my identity.
And those shoes will soon have its own history.
And people actually identify me with it.
I’ve lost over half of my collection due to theft. I still miss them stolen ones.
The ones unstolen are…
Originally all in white. Swap the laces for that spec of Red.
Growing out of my 100% sneakers only collection, i first ventured into these leather-velvet sneakers to be more ‘grown up’.
This pair is 8 yrs old. And has followed me to many places and thread on many different soils.
My first purchase of sneakers after the theft. Limited Eds.
Like a dice, sometimes in life u just roll it and see what happens.
For weddings only. Cos its more comfy than those click-clock leather shoes and i dont make noise when i walk.
Silence is golden.
Bought this for a trip up north. This pair of cheap red canvas has threaded a huge section of North-East Thailand.
Stepped into Laos too.
Sometimes you just admire uni students work during one of their bazaars.
Got these in Heathrow. My feet, they were aching due to all the walking on-site and all over.
I needed padded footwear.
I saw these looking at me. They fitted like a glove. I didnt need to think twice.
They then went on to Dublin on my feet upon purchase.
I ♥ Dublin by the way. A LOT.
I’m into jogging now. And these Free 5.0 does it best.
I’ve since added a spec of Red on them after this photo was taken.
What can I say. I quote Camper “Walk. Dont run.”
Walking with me for 4 years and counting. And crossing continents too.
Then i decided to have a more…’serious’ looking one.
With a spec of Red of course. 
Lastly, everyone who knows me will know I’ve put these on my feet for almost 10 years now.
My 3rd pair, (2 got stolen) and I wouldnt wear anything else.

Again another post about my interest in automotive. 
Geneva Motor Show 2010 is underway, all concepts have been revealed (i hope) and i’ve seen them. Some irks me, some fairly interest me, and the ones that im gonna post here really caught my attention.
And i’m gonna tell you why too.
First up, (as in my last post on Porschematics) :
Porsche 918 Spyder Concept.
A performance hybrid that looks as good as it goes.
This is the future of motoring.
Audi A1
Audi’s challenger in the compact car segment. It looks good and we dont have to reply on Minis anymore for a small luxury car that packs punches. This is the new hamster on steriods.
Lamborghini Gallardo LP-570 Superleggera
I’m a huge fan of the Gallardo. The lines on this beauty is amazing and the car is so well proportioned in terms of design. And now, with with Lp-570, i think its the most beautiful sports car at the moment. I’d take it in green thank you. And let people be green with envy.
Koniegsegg Agera
Not because its one of the most powerful supercars out there.
Not because only a few lucky individuals would be able to own it.
But because we will almost never see it on the roads.
2011 Lotus Elise
Those who know me will know I’m Lotus crazy. Its probably the only sports car that will feel like its an extended part of your body while u’re driving it. Its a testament of man and machine becoming one on the road.
And this new version looks deliciously sexy. :p
Bugatti Grand Sport in Carbon Fibre
The Veyron would probably be every motorhead’s dream to have in their garage. Not a new supercar in the playing field.
But this beast looks like an orgy of carbon fibre. I cant imagine that power, now in a ultra lightweight body.
Given wings, im sure this car will fly.
Literally.
Peugeot SR1 Concept
Peugeot. Known for designing cars a bit out of the norm and with loud design cues.
This SR1 softens the look of the Peugeot cars we have out there today. I love it.
Alluring, sexy, smooth, refined…it goes on.
I hope this is new face of Peugeot.
Citroen Survolt
All i’m gonna say is… OMFG, can you believe this is by Citroen?!
I dont know about you, but i sure as well cant stop looking at it! 
Bertone Pandion for Alfa Romeo
Need I say more? True to Bertone’s philosophy of a low ride and long body. But the doors on the Pandion is just wicked! And the fins at the back reminds me of Transformers.
Could this be Alfa Romeo’s new face?
The Pandion is a beautiful mess.
Volkswagen Polo Gti
I saved this for last. I’m a sucker for hot hatches. The previous Polo Gti i liked a lot.
This one i LOVE.
DrewSmith said in his opinion, was the best looking at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2009.
I can see why. Its the perfect all rounder.
Unlike the cars that i’ve mentioned, this one is attainable.
And I want it. Seriously.
So many supercar manufacturers are taking their best shot at producing a performance hybrid. I havent given any of those much attention until i saw This.
Yes… THIS.
PIP: Porsche Intelligent Performance.
And its creation : Porsche 918 Sypder Concept.
Although a concept, but now i finally feel the future of motoring is near. Very near.
(News source and photos from Autoblog)
Here you go, have your cake and eat it too. Porsche is looking to prove that the best of both worlds don’t have to be mutually exclusive with the 918 Spyder concept scheduled to debut tomorrow at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. Looking a bit like a Carrera GT evolved, the 918 Spyder is powered by both a 500-horsepower V8 and a pair of electric motors (one for each axle) producing an additional 218 hp or 160kW. At full gallop, the concept can theoretically reach 62 mph in 3.2 seconds and nip 198 mph on the high end. On the flip side, Porsche says it can also achieve 78 miles per gallon and emit just 70 grams of CO2 per kilometer.
How does a supercar have such range? Well, the 918 Spyder concept is a parallel hybrid just like your mom’s Prius (well not just like). That means the two powertrains, gas and electric, can operate together or separately to motivate the wheels into motion. There are no less than four modes that configure the powertrains for anything from maximum efficiency to maximum performance and everything in between. The E-Drive mode means pure electric power, and the car can reportedly last up to 16 miles on electrons alone. Next up is Hybrid mode, which is just what it sounds like and would probably be the mode for everyday around town driving. The Sport Hybrid mode again uses both powertrains, but tips the needle a bit more towards performance with most power reaching the rear wheels. Finally, the Race Hybrid mode means all systems are go for the lowest lap times possible (Porsche says it can do the Nordschleife in less than 7:30 minutes). There’s an even a push-to-pass button (if only it were that easy) that adds a bit of E-boost on the straights and, of course, regenerative braking is present and accounted for.
Lastly, take a good look at the interior because Porsche says it offers a glimpse at future interiors from the automaker. Sounds good enough to buy so far, right? Too bad, because it’s just a concept.
As the 2010 Geneva Motorshow is about to begin, I cant wait to see actual photos of this baby.
This year is gonna be a great year for the future of automobiles.
Enjoy the video and a pics at the end!
Its time to blog again after the festive season of Chinese New Year. I have lots to blog about this year’s CNY for some reason. And blog i shall. My CNY celebration began with a slightly different menu and at a place oh-so-not-chinese.
Yup!…the watering hole. TomDicknHarry’s. It was a night out with the boys before we all went off for our CNY holidays.
Previous posts on TDH was about drinks n breakfast. This time we did ordered quite a bit from the menu. So enjoy the pics and try not to drool oK!
First up, Tets Double Happiness ! hehe
As always, mushroom soup is a standard order and its pretty good. I’d ordered it again.
This Fried Mushroom is roxxx…must order OK!
Cant remember whats this so prob not that significant enuff
If you fancy pizzas then this rectangular pizza is pretty delicious… surprisngly
This burger is thicker than it looks. The meat was juicy and the fries tasted yumm. Either I was hungry or its really good.
This appetizer is an assortment of slices sausages and bacon. The bacon is nice, but the sausages is well..erm, u can do at home. :s
Fish and chips were Ok OK. The green pea dip was interesting although it didnt tickle my fancy.
Im a huge fan of Pies. Especially those served with brown sauce. This is the 2nd pie im having at TDH and they’re all good. Its my default meal there now. Love it.
Final order was the steak. Medium-rare, juicy, sauce was good. Fries was good. I could use a bit more of them veges though. But heck, i got no complaints.
This pic, a testament of good food. He refused to use a fork.
28 yrs old and still playing video games…
The rest of the pics are of us mucking around…hehe..
Group shot! (Eric, KJ, Shannon, Yoke and Me!)
Everyone left around 10ish except yoke and we carried on for a bit.
As always, you always bump into friends at places like this.
Seng just got back from Dubai, within minutes he appeared. Talk about commitment towards alcohol lolz.
And Jean was with him. Ahhh…what a better way to start the CNY then with good friends.
We carried on till 2am and off we went for our holidays.
