Food and Peeps

I skipped a few days. The days that I sat at home planning the next TIZ drop.
While sitting at home, I sure had a lot of great and weird looking food:

This is like a tourist in US blogging about Jack-in-the-box.

You're looking at "Mos Burger's" pearl burger. Yup, that's rice buns with seaweed and shrimp. It can't get any more Asian.

Round Table might be big in U.S. Taiwan's dominated by Pizza hut and Dominos.

This is Pizza hut's latest pizza. Mayo, ham, cheese, hot dogs, and hot backed crusts. WEIRD.

This...is less than $2 US.


Ramen with HUMONGOUS seaweed.


I haven't gotten a chance to show you all the daily snap shots I've taken:

Concert. Crowd. and Crowd lu 盧廣仲

The date and time might be abit off. Anyway, yesterday was Golden Melody Award ceremony's 20th anniversary.

Singers competed for the highest honor with their songs and lyrics. It's one of the biggest musical award in Taiwan. Of all the singers participated, Crowd (盧廣仲) was perceived as black horse, one of whom most likely to take home an award. He was nominated for 5.

Eventually, the ceremony's come to an end. Crowd's won Best upcoming artist and best composer. Hot dam.


For the glorious occasion as a noobie singer, the company threw him a party/concert for all the die hard fans here at:


Only 500 of them were invited to enjoy Crowd's first performances after the ceremony.

People's ready.

Food's ready.


..and he's ready.


Do you see...passion?




Segments of the performance here, I filmed it and edited with iMovie(ooohhh yea.)
The segments are dedicated to Kevin, Joey, Cody, Carmut, and Michelle


對啊.

We were probably the most vibrant peeps in the crowd.

I like to ride my bicycle

Only Japanese can design these detailed bikes for the urban lifestyle. Think again, the bikes are products of the Pacific Cycles from Taiwan.

and guess where we are going on Day 4 of my trip in Taiwan? (Bikes on the cover are BD-1 and Carry Me series)

Pacific Cycles, a proud company owned by Jim's grand uncle. We had the privilege to visit the inside production process of each bike that are now out being ridden by people.


After about 1.5 hours of drive down south, we've arrived.




The 1st thing displayed is the electrical bike prototype(on the right) and the classical bike. (Oh, do I miss Davis. sike.)


Pacific Cycles is a family owned business, here we have Jim's aunt giving us demonstrations on their foldable bikes.


We got to test ride all the bikes.

This one's real cool. It's meant for disabled persons who can still ride with their arms. The navigation is directed by the shifting of thee butt.

All the color ways of BD-1 a.k.a. Birdy. (The ones from magazine cover)







Jim's just posing. As for me, the bike on my left is a limited color way, 1 of 1, made for a creative exhibition.

This one's my favorite- If Mode.

Let alone the slick design, the bike is chain-less, meaning there's no more dirty re-chaining jobs halfway during a pleasure ride with the girlfriend. It's also foldable sideways with a compressible lock to hold the skeleton in place(a break through).



here's a look on how easily it is to fold it.
It takes some times to get used to it. (Yen, Jim, and I spent a good amount of time and still couldn't fold it in 5 minutes..)

After checking out all the bikes, it was time for us to check the making of the bikes.


First step is to carve out all the necessary shaped metal for production.




Then bending into the perfect curve.


Heat set for durability.




Pant job and sticker pasting.




Assemble. Parts by parts.


Then putting them all together.


BAM.

Pacific Cycles provide bikes that aim for specific purpose. They focus on niche markets.
Each bike range up to $2000 to $3000.

There it is, take a good hard look at what we can do.

The fix up

I really couldn't find any better picture than this one. The instant moment captured the intensity and flow of who-know-what I was doing. Day 3 of the trip, I've gone around to get a few goodies here and there for frds and fam bam. Taiwan's humidity's off the chart..plus the heat is really hard to endure.

..especially with the very long helmet above my head.

So I went by Brian's saloon again to chop some of it off.

Brian's a true artist. I enjoyed his master piece last year, I couldn't help but to go to him again.


My brother did, too.


Sorry ladies, this man's taken.


Here's Brian on the left.


The store's got some vibrant business cards, too.


Taiwan's flooded with eye-glasses shop. I saw more than 8 shops in a matter of a couple of blocks. We may be nerdy, but we are nerds with a sense of fashion. No joke.

I double checked my vision, everything's a green light. Nothing's gone worse. Woot.

Then I saw these in one of the shops. I HAD TO pick them up.





It's WOOD! Well, wooden texture, but made out of plastic with wires embedded within.

Then, we wrapped up the day with a chain restuarant called "Cafe Grazie".
Italian food with fairly decent price. Us five(My brother in law, sister, brother, and I) paid $40 for the following dishes:













That's 8 appetizers, 4 entrees, 4 drinks, and 4 desserts.

Hot dam.

Why hello Formosa

Arrival. This is not exactly up to date due to the lack of internet access for the past few days. Granted with no internet access, I've squeezed the juice out of each day to soak up that sun. and sweat.

First thing I notice on the way back home from the airport is the count-down street lights.

Would it encourage the drivers to treat every light as a race? Heard the government is going to take it down, soon. Not only does it start a race, many drivers also like take off a few seconds before the green light. The count-down device seems to be the perfect suicide machine.

Breakfast time: all for less than $6.





mmhmm.

One of the biggest chain store in Taiwan isn't Starbucks(though, plenty), but 7-11.

I thought we should try a new flavor now that we're back in Taiwan. So my brother and I tried the "honey bitter mellon" and "citron chrysanthemum tea"

I should've known how bad it'd taste just by the title.


Then we swung by a line of people.

Here's what they're waiting for:

Panda for approx. 40 cent(converting to US) each.

Very quickly, the morning's past. What's there better to do then swing by the night market.

Stores here doesn't close till 12 AM.

Food stands flooded the streets.


Then we ended the day by having our supper at this "Toilet Restaurant"









Good for a blog post, bad for dinner.

Trip to Taiwan/Day 1.5

Hello guys, I'm currently in HK International Airport waiting for the connecting flight to Taipei Taiwan. Like it seems, it'll be an almost a month trip to visit my friends and family back home as well as grub on some traditional Taiwanese food and not get diarrhea.

Recap:
Thanks to my sister's employee tickets, my bro and I gotten a decent discount. The catch is..they're also stand-by's, meaning that we'd have to gamble our luck and wish that there's empty seats on the plane for us to get on.

Michelle came by to wish us luck. She also brought us the "flight survival package", which includes snacks, snacks, and time killing gossip magazine.

//but I'm still not sure what's going on between Brad and Angelina

Luckily, there were empty seats. And yet, we were upgraded to business class. WOOT.


It was our first business class experience. Each passenger were given his/her space, which the seats that can lay completely flat, and movable TV screen that had a crap load of movies and games. I wasn't able to watch much because I spent 8 hours sleeping...given the flat seats.


Here are the cuisine that were given on the flight:
Started off with roasted peanuts and some raw salmon dessert.

The salmon tasted like crap. no joke. Even drinking Sprite had a hard time washing off the taste.
(But I was really grateful. )

Then the supper:




Waken up by the Breakfast:



The best meal was breakfast, just like the days when I had access to the dinning common in Davis. I'm not a big fan of airplane food, but the flight was good.

After 14 hours of plane ride, with a few minor turbulence, we've arrived safely to the HK Airport. Local time: 6:15 AM.

It's humongous(we had to take shuttle to our gate) and has free Wifi (mad props).

Woot, just another 2 hours of flight then it's home sweet home.



//I want to take a shower.

Graduation.

Nope, it doesn't relate to Kanye's album. From June 12th to 14th, UC Davis had its graduations for the class of 09's. In this case, also class of "supposedly '10s". It's always that bittersweet situation for the graduates...it's the "thank God I don't have to see your face anymore, but man..gotta engage the true faces of workplace". Regardless, this marks another milestone for those who are departing. Best of luck! ..and don't forget to hook me up with whatever you do in the future.

I was up at 9 to attend Managerial Economic's graduation.

Fail//I took a picture of the graduate's parent's picture instead of the gradute herself. Stay optimistic, smiley. Have a great one, Joy.

I also heard Billy Mac's name, but unfortunately, I couldn't find him in the quad flooded with people. If you're reading this, MacDaddy, keep up the competitive edge and it's been fun going through Constaintine, Whiteney, and Azari with ya.

Later during the day, it was Tess' graduation.

The fam bam.

The ladies.


..and the gentz.


What's a graduation without acting stupid? I see it as our last chance to behave like an infant.

We're a little too young to loose our childhood wonders.

Then, there's "toss of Tess" to end the ceremony.

I can understand that it was a bit frightening. so..
We used Yen as a demonstration.

He got some air. No joke.

Eventually, Tess compromised.

..and for that, we took it to its fullest extent.




Congrats, graduates.

Now go out there and make UCDavis, your parents, and yourself proud.

Macdaddy

It's me again, apologizing for the lack of updates. But this time, there's a Mac to blame. Few weeks ago, my LCD declared its retirement. It was the start of my hunt for a new laptop...

With many feed backs from facebook and blogger, along with the advantage of my student discount status and Apple's newly released Macbook Pro, I've decided to purchase my first ever Apple. (Student discount=$100 off laptop + free iPod touch that's worth $230 + free HP C4480 printer that's worth $100)

Alex, a former Appl employee, and Erica came to give me some tips on getting the Apple.

Alex also hooked me up with many state of the art software to enhance the efficiency of the laptop. "+20 Kudos points."

Joey and Frank came by to witness the wallet ripping event as well.

Sidenote// one of the Apple employee, whose name I shall keep it to myself, did a really bad job as a sales rep. She was overpowering in pushing me getting everything that I couldn't afford. I almost pulled a round house kick.

Anyway,

You've got to give some cool points to Apple for its slick design.

The new Mac has a aluminum cast unibody, SD card slot(woot! I love this feature when I had my Dell Inspiron), and 4 GB's of standard RAM. Batteries, which now last up to 7 hours, are not removable and hidden within the laptop.

All the cool stuff aside, it sure is making my head big getting used to the Apple's operating system.

Syncing is also a pain the butt. (Btw, for those who bookmarks or favorites, do check out "Xmarks" for online bookmarking, so you can simply sync the new device online without pulling all the files through program file - my documents and setting - user - favo.....)

When a product actually change the way how the user behaves, it's captured the consumer market. Apple makes people having their own "Apple mind set". Everyone I see that owns has this urge to push the product to others - the consumers became Apple's own active sales rep. This epidemic is incredible.

This laptop cost way too much to not take pictures of every step of the unwrapping:








BAM. I'm sure this will last me more than five years. 5 YEARS STRONG!

//you ask Allen himself what he was doing.

Here's how I feel:
I still misses PC, but Apple's really amazing, too.

Laptops-Replace or Repair?

That's the way my work station's set up. "Nice." you said. Nooo, don't get fooled by the dual monitors. Things are being placed this way is because the backlight to my LCD's burnt out! It happened this morning when I routinely turn on my laptop like a zombie, but only to realize that my screen's no longer working(after some research.)

I'm no Beethoven. There's NO WAY I can design with a black screen. So...

This is what I need: A thin tube that can light up again. It takes a $100 or two to repair. (Oh, for the love of Dell Inspiron.)

OR..I can replace it with another laptop (now we're talking)

Now I think of it, it might be a sign for me to start hitting the books.

SIKE.

A new laptop, perhaps. [Designed by Kyle Bean]

So then, with my head tilted and staring into the external monitor, it's a bunch of web surfing for the most fitting laptop that fits my needs.

I'd like something light and portable. (Quite frequently, I bring my laptop on campus to design between classes.)

The two side touch screen would be nice. This the "One Laptop Per Child" concept- the OLPC XO Laptop 2.0.

Or maybe the Fujitsu Lifebook U

171×133×26.5 - 32mm and weighs only 580 grams. It can last about 4 hours with its battery life. But it might be the best thing to watch Movies with.

This would definitely work with gaming and movie watching.

It can extend from its closed 13" screen to 26" wide when opened. Concept design by Kyle Cherry(Kyles' can really design laptops.) But wait, my LCD screen just broken, I don't think I can handle THREE screens, just yet.

Then maybe split screens?

It's the Xentex dual 13.3-inch screen laptop.

Maybe I should go with an opposite approach for a classier laptop.

Amazing isn't it.

Bamboo would work.

Asus 12" bamboo laptop.The only thing that's holding me back is the $1800 retail price.

Or something more practical with today's iPhone fuzz?

Designed by OLO. It's a laptop that's compatible with iPhones.

Seriously, laptops that are more realistic that would fit my daily usage.

Samsung SDI.

McDonald's

Hey look, an enormous "M" on a bright red background. What would be the first that pops into mind?


Of course.

Everyone knows about its massive fast food chains and the great nutritious value in the food they provided. "Super Size Me", by Morgan Spurlock, says it all. But I'm not here to repeat all that.

Other than all the negative press shading above its head, when you look closely into its branding image and creative marketing ideas, it's truly inspirational. Of all fast food restaurants, my heart belongs to "In-N-Out", though, McDonald's definitely deserves the "most iconic" award.

Here's a few of their propaganda:

Formula one. The distinctive red and yellow's became their signature.

Paper, billboard, poster advertisements.

How about some McDonald's breakfast while reading the morning paper?



Way too big for 1 single space to contain.





Rock on. Play with the rolling stone's icon.

Every restaurant can put out incredible advertisements, but not all of them can actually put out decent apparel. The products are crossover collaborations from the respected brands of the field.

Aren't these nice...

Invited by McDonald's, The jeans company RMC and designer Eric Kot designed the jeans exclusive for its employees. Top employees, perhaps?

McDonald's x SillyThing

SillyThing's a HK base record company.

Collaboration burger!?


Other then topper wear, lower wear, how about the sneaker wear?

The Hyperdunk McDonald colorway.

Last but not least: Ron English x MINDstyle Deluxe McSupersized Me Figure

Retail for $2000 US, only 30 are available worldwide.

Whoa, yea?

Helmet Hunt

I was debating rather I should categorize this as a personal entry or an inspirational post. But after all the creative helmets I stumbled through while searching for one, it's hard to not get inspired by them.

Here's Cody, a familiar face that's been supporting TIZ all along. He's just gotten his new bike.
One could only imagine how many ladies have been falling for that classy-vintage-old school look.
Wipe your mouth.

So far, we know Kevin's definitely attracted.


Jim could never give up a ride.

While everyone's drooling, Cody's hunting for that perfect helmet to match his ride. So as I'm procrastinating on homework, I took the initiative to look for the best fitting helmet. here are some that caught my eyes:

NO.

A creative helmet like hairstyle just ain't going to do it for this.

Aggressive. a bit too rad.

made out of "animal teeth, fangs, bones, and hairs besides fines stones from the Amazon river" by a Brazilian artist. Helmet's going for $100.

How about that futuristic DaftPunk helmet?

maybe in the future.

MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi's flamboyant helmet.

Go big or go coocoo. Designed by Aldo Drudi. It's definitely an eye catcher on the street. For both pedestriants and cops.

Denim?!

Custom by NEXX, going for $200. Many call it "Ass with tight jeans".

Hand painted by the owner - the PacMan helmet.

Attracts the ghosts, too.

Skull.

Then just add a flame here and there to become "ghost rider", no?

Transformer's in.

Alot of geeks would fall for you, too, now, Cody.

Lego.

By designer Sebastian Errazuriz. This is the way to go if you wanted to attract me.

But all jokes aside, I saw these and thought "perfect."

They're the Ateliers Ruby Helmets. "The ’inside garnish’ (to quote Coste) is a soft lining of decadent burgundy nappa lambskin, chosen for its comfort and anti-bacterial properties. Henceforth providing a ’reassuring cocoon’."

House Cleaning

Here's the trend in my house: we leave things placed on the last location we used it..until they all piled up and became obstacles that we have to fend through when going from a corner of the house to another.

Good thing is we barely use anything in the house unless there's a big gathering.
There's been a couple of gatherings.

Before.

I finally couldn't take the mess, so I invited a few of my Disney friendly helpful animals to clean up the place.


Then BAM. After.

I realized that they put most of the stuff away and really just pile the rest in corners. Oh well, looks great to me.

TIZ on The California Aggie

Woot, after 3 years of working with talented and creative folks around Davis, TIZ's gotten its first official feature on The California Aggie. Story by Elena Buckley (Published on 05/29/09)


Oh boy, It's 2 am. Sounds like the perfect time to stare into space and think about the people, events, lucky accidents that brought TIZ to the way it is today. Time flies, I can still vividly remember the first shirt TIZ's printed(by my own hands) and the first show TIZ's showcased, but I shall bore you with the stories later, because I've just spent the last 40 minutes attempting to write about the experience and realized that I wasn't even a quarter way done.

Peeps that helped me "behind the scenes" deserve more photos ops.
