I've moved on...
...to a different domain. Why, what were you thinking? The truth is, I just woke up one day and decided it's time for a change—a metamorphosis, if you will; or, in layman's terms, if Britney can shave her head, then maybe so can I? Nevertheless, it's been a rather handsome 10 years of talking to you, and thank you for putting up with all my moodswings and terrible dad jokes. Fear not! The hormonal imbalance and jokes are more terrible on CUBICLE, see you there.

Big big apologies for not answering comments and emails in a timely fashion, and for this general slowassness with blogging; it’s May unfortunately and I’m a student… need I say more? Although, I do know for a fact that more than half of you are also here on a procrastination mission of some sort, in which case I must welcome you with open arms. As I told Satpreet a few days ago, I procrastinate-blogwrite and you probably procrastinate-blogsurf – and since we’re ending up at the same location anyway (here?), how about a party? but BYOB please.

OK enough with justifying eachothers’ work not being done; here’s a slap, let’s get back to it.

Thank you Jen the Style Crusader for taking these photos!

    Hahaha. I was just about to say something about procrastinating again. I’ve been absent from commenting because I had nothing due the last few nights. But I have my photography book final review with my professor at 11 tomorrow, and here I, oh so predictably, am, scouring my favorite blogs for anything, anything that could possibly distract me.

    Thanks for the link. Seriously love your shoes. I’m usually a bike-barefoot kind of gal; but for those beauties, I would not mind making an exception.

    Please tell me you actually rode that bike around in wedges, and weren’t just posing for a photo op :) But seriously, it’s a kickass look.

    And thanks by the way for your comment on my knit top! It definitely made my day to find a comment from one of my favourite bloggers waiting for me!

    You’re so cute! But I must agree with some of the comments here, it’s a tough job to ride a bicycle in wedges. I can totally do it in heels but wedges are a killer because you don’t feel the pedals at all. How do you do it? :)

    Heels/wedges/whatever on a bike = FAIL

    F-A-I-L (like, totally… seriously!)

    One way or another, too bad no one took pics of me in the role of an “engine” with you being the “trunk” on our way shopping. I never knew that 2 people would fit on this bike (+ a shopping basket and a backpack).

    If you go to Copenhagen, you’ll realise that wearing heels while riding a bicycle is perfectly normal, not only that, they just ride a bike as a mode of transport, unlike cyclist in London whom ride their bike as if it were a sport (apart from Shin, amongst other whom took the right approach of riding a bicycle).

    Not only that, but it’s also pretty normal to see someone sitting on the back (or front) rack of a bicycle in Copenhagen too.

    a good site about cycling in general (and an surprisingly interesting read about a mundane subject) is this;

    http://www.copenhagenize.com/

    Cheerio!

  24. Macku
    May 14, 2010 at 9:55 am

    Yo Ed! I was joking ^.^;

    As far as inner-city biking is concerned – I never treated it as a sport. The ‘Londoner’ attitude is quite alien to me – it’s got wheels so it’s a mode of transportation!
    Also – the more the merrier – once ridden a bike with 3 other people (but then again, that was 10 years ago so I was a bit ‘smaller’). I was simply surprised that Shini’s bike didn’t collapse under all that weight!

    Just managed to convince my father to give me some cash for a folding bike!
    Yay!! Probably will end up bothering you about some advice on the ‘what’s and ‘how’s.

  25. Edward
    May 15, 2010 at 3:06 am

    Oh I wasn’t saying you treated it as a ‘sport’, just that other people perceive it as a ‘sport’, having visit other countries and observe their view of cycling, London stand out the most with the most peculiar view when it come to cycling! not as bizarre and over the top as the American’s view mind.

    If you’re looking for a good folding bike, the best one is the one that everyone know; the Brompton, abet expensive, but it’s design is one of the best of it’s kind, second hand one is a lots cheaper and they’re tough little bugger.

    And Shinny, sorry for rambling in your blog!

  26. Shini
    May 15, 2010 at 3:11 am

    You called me Shinny! Only a handful of people spell it like that, usually my elementary school friends haha

    Maciek sent you an email about a Brompton, did you receive it :D?

I have an Environmental Control Systems exam tomorrow (the LAST final) and I just cannot commit to thinking about acoustics/lighting/heat when there’s fashion to be had. I’m still dying for those sneakers, but I will actually have them within the week, thanks to some ebay scouring! Good luck finishing out the semester!

    What a beautiful bike you have! I would rather like a nice, pretty little bike to trundle about on, but I have major fears of falling off in the road, as I was never properly taught as a child. I would definitely need to get myself some headgear.
    And yes, I too am here for purposes of procrastination. I just cant help myself!
