The Art of Being Cool

The first thing that we should be comprehend is that there is no surefire way to attain coolness. And this is especially true living in this era. Being a geek can mean a world of a difference now in our internet-mad society than say, a decade ago. The entire definition of the world is transformed as we live and breathe when guys like Pete Wentz who looks like the Overload of all beings who are wimps get to shag and marry Ashlee Simpson. Or when Harry Porter is deemed sexy, albeit to mostly prepubescent kids. Heck, Lord of The Rings comprised of main leads who look like they would rather form a chess club than an army!

These are strange times we're living in and it's about to get stranger still.

Gone are the days when simply looking and acting cool gets you the girls/guys and green-eyed envy from lesser blessed mortals. Our previously narrowed perceptions of coolness has evolved into something more basic and easy to understand. What matters in the end after all the other image-heavy ideals is that talent and originality will persevere.

Quentin Tarantino, Woody Allen, Stephen Chow, Kurt Cobain, Yasmin Ahmad, Jamie Foxx, Dexter, Pedro Almodovar, P. Ramli, Radiohead, The Simpsons and Cameron Diaz have all played their parts in redifining what it means to be the 'IN' crowd. Even a basic idea like being environmentally conscious can now seem cool.

So, shed off all your preconceived ideas and just be who you really are. Remember, the most attractive trait to have in the world is being natural and having the ability to make others happy to have you in their lives through your work or simply by your very presence. That means much more than having a Ferrari, knowing how to blow smoke rings or having a toned body. Don't you agree?

Road To Penang!!!

We have decided to embark on a cool and 'Funtabulous' trip to the Pearl of the Orient in an attempt at finding ourselves, our identity and what makes us tick as a made in Malaysia e-magazine. Why Penang? As one of our most closely guarded secret gateway paradise, this state is filled to the brim with countless small town goodness and scenic surprises. UNESCO has even confered this state as one of the world's preserved heritage town! Thus, we are sure that our journey here will inspire us to create a more fascinating experience for you. We will search this place inside out for stories of successful homegrown brands and people which represent Malaysia's unique one of a kind style.

With the wind in our hairs and the sun in our optimistic faces, we're on and away! And no Cherie, we're not gonna play the soundtrack to high school musical in the car. You can stay at home if we find that crap in your bag. You've been warned haha!

What do you see? Wires???

Night spot at Gurney Drive.

Toys and bicycles anyone?

Mags We Love Part 1

We Are Different (WAD)

Perhaps there are millions of printed materials and blogs that we love and as a matter of fact, we do not have time to read them. We love to flip, and flip, and then we share. It is such a circle of happiness, as we no longer blame ourselves for buying them, but for the sake of fun to discover them, and share. It feels so much better to share. So here we are to share our passions for magazines that never fail to inspire. First, this is our beloved WAD mag. Love its urban coolness and easy-to-read style. It started off with a simple mission: We Are Different and they coolly show off their uniqueness. In fact, it is outstanding indeed that we are willing to play with it and feel really happy. Hahaha… it was such a fun and we snapped many photos! Just for fun’s sake!
