A weird themed tuesday part 1

I've been waiting for this themed tuesday. In fact I have another candidate but I'll delay that another week because I have one more entry for that category. I'll begin by saying that I don't wear women's shoes, but if I did, I wouldn't wear these. This particular shoe appeals to yellow and black enthusiasts as well as Apple fan boys. It has a striking art deco inspired yellow apple at the toe, and features a rounded toe end and simple design throughout. The golden insole conveys the ultimate luxury. Price RM40.

This is another delicate example of yellow and black with a yellow lace pattern all around the shoe. The frilly ball at the toe shows a wild and cute side to the highly-cultured simplistic yet elegant design of the shoe. Price RM40.

A weird themed tuesday part 3

I'm learning to post themed Tuesdays in reverse. This is actually the first post but nevermind. This delightful platform shoe, features a cute yellow bow in front, which is laced all around the shoe by a thick yellow ribbon. The platform portion is made from a weaved pattern material which gives the shoe an ethnic look. Note the intricate pattern on the golden insole. Price: RM50.

Is this the motherload?

Surfing surfing surfing, I stumbled upon Colorware, a company located at 2050 W 4th St. Winona, MN 55987 USA who colors your stuff for about USD99. Of course you can also buy stuff pre-colored including this Playstation 3. Cost of the yellow 40gb Playstation 3 is USD525. Is this cheating? Kinda. They also have the Wii for for USD435 and the XBox360 Elite for USD585.

Are you kidding me?

I didn't believe it myself but a yellow and black iphone? Of course its only a casing on top of your regular iPhone. Price: USD50. If I had an iPhone I'd definately want one of these.

Cool by a factor of 2

I saw these mini fridges at Rooms in Midvalley. They always have interesting stuff there. I also wanted a fridge for the office to keep my salads and sandwiches cold, since the last one broke down and the ice cream in there melted and created a big stink. This one had a price tag for RM120. But the sales guy said, the normal price is RM500. This one was cheaper because its BROKEN. Sigh. Still.... sigh.

Oh tannebaum

It's not even December yet. But here's some early Christmas decorations at the local mall. A yellow Christmas tree with black (the wire is) lights. Not much to say about this except hallelujah.

Lust mobile

After I posted that entry about my helmet, I went back to search for the Gary Fisher bike I didn't get. This isn't it. It's a higher end model but in the same colour scheme. The Tassajara price USD620. The one I was going to get was the Marlin - which is a beginner bike. I put this in my wanted category - which features things that I WANT.

Swatch promise

As promised, here is the yellow and black Swatch collection from 2007. It's really a shame that Swatch doesn't have enough pride in their designs to archive their complete design on the web. It's probably in a coffee-table book somewhere. Maybe they are afraid of copy cats stealing their designs and selling knock-offs for 10% of the price. I think they should embrace the knock off market. It just makes their originals worth more. As much as I like yellow and black, I have to say that most of these watches are fugly. My favourite of the bunch would be overtaking flou. Prices between RM175 and RM440.

It's not easy being yellow

It's not easy being a yellow and black obessessed fanatic. I spotted yellow and black Swatches at the Swatch shop and tried to take pictures but the sales girl stopped me and said.... no picture taking. Fine... you don't want me to blog about your ugly yellow and black watches and give you free publicity? I'll just go to your website and get the pics from there. Normally I prefer photos which I've taken myself. Just to prove that I saw them with my own eyes. But since I was illegally requested not to take photos of their merchandise, I will respect that and steal those images from their website instead. Fair use! Failing that, I'll just buy the watches (RM400) and photograph items which I own in the privacy of my own home.

Maybank Smart for two

I started a new category recently where I post corporate logos and brands which feature yellow and black colours. Maybank in Malaysia is of course the most recognisable logo in yellow and black mainly because it's the biggest bank in Malaysia. I haven't posted their logo but I will. For now you can look at their yellow and black Maybank-branded Smart for Two car. Approximate price for a Smart for Two car in Malaysia is RM60k.

Keep your head protected at all times

I bike. That is, I cycle... occasionally. When I was looking around for a bike, naturally I wanted a yellow and black bike - which I found. It was a Gary Fisher but it cost RM2,500. I settled for an ordinary Silver and Black Giant Iguana for RM1,800but I did get a silver, yellow and black bike helmet. I still regret not getting the Gary Fisher. Maybe my next bike will be yellow and black. Unfortunately nobody has contributed to my blog yet. Would you be the first?

Snipering

While leaving the LRT system, I spotted a lady carrying a yellow and black bag. So naturally I surrepticiously pulled out my camera and snapped her bag. If that sounds a little creepy to you, I would agree. But I've been a little dry with yellow and black things lately.

Do you know where you are?

Guess what this is? Ok. The label beside it gives it away. Personal Tracking Device. It looks like a pad lock. I suppose you strap this around your elderly aunt, and you can find out instantly where she is via GPS, or maybe via GSM location. Incidentally there seems to be a call button on the device but no number pad to dial. Perhaps its only for accepting incoming calls and making a call to a special number. The idea is great for the right application - aging aunts and promiscuious teens. I wonder if the future will see a demand for these devices. I hope not.

Trailblazing a new category

I'm not grasping but it seems there a a lot of companies which have yellow and black logos. The combination seems as natural as PI and has become a favourite of roadsign makers, taxi cab companies, and graphic design firms. This is a original rendition of the logo for California Pizza Kitchen at KLCC.

The throne of the yellow and black king

Imagine someone who would purchase and install a yellow toilet in his house. This is indeed a king. We have, for better or for worse, a very intimate relationship with our toilet. I've hatched a good many world changing ideas on the toilet, read many a good book, and dropped... well... let's just say I might have contributed to the amount of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere.



This to me is a beautiful toilet, which I would be proud to have in my home for the paltry sum of RM999. Suitably named 'Gold' for the golden throne of the king of all things yellow and black. After seeing this, an idea popped into my head. A bathroom of black tile, and yellow and black sanitaryware and fixtures. Oh snap!

Assorted undersink sinks

Underneath megasink two are two other smaller bowl sinks. I didn't get the prices. I should be more diligent in this stuff. Perhaps its the euphoria of finding things I didn't think existed. Yellow sinks? Unbelievable. I'd estimate between RM400-RM800 for these sinks.

Megasink two

This sink is more myself. Megasink two. I realize blogs aren't great for reading things in sequence. You'll just have to make do. Megasink two features two squarish bowls in ceramic. I like it but I prefer sinks built into the counter. Not necessarily in yellow however. You can't really make out the price tag here but its about RM1,600.

Megasink one

After walking about the huge KLCC exhibition halls, We stumbled on a booth, with loads of yellow sanitaryware. A goldmine! This is Megasink one - very big, one piece ceramic sink in yellow. Comes with the legs I assume in black and chrome. Cost: RM1199. It's not really my style. I prefer straight lines.

Another themed tuesday - Sanitaryware

Welcome to another edition of themed-tuesdays where yellow and black items follow a specific theme. This week's theme is Sanitaryware (ceramic plumbing fixtures (as sinks, lavatories, or toilet bowls). I was able to attend a Home Decoration Expo in KLCC last Sunday and found these awesome specimens - I'll start with the first item I saw, a yellow sink bowl made from glass. Price? I don't know. It's glass so I'm guessing around RM400. It would be a nice little item to have around the house if you weren't obsessed with yellow and black things.

Zoom to the vroom

A lot of fast things are painted in yellow and black. This Yamaha for example, was spotted in Bangsar. If you ask me to price it - I'd say Rm40,000.

Something you don't see

Here is something you don't see everyday. A yellow and black bride and groom. Sure other brides have worn yellow gowns, but for me to show up at their wedding is why this photo is here.

How much is that

Saw this cute yellow and black doggie in the window. Is it as cute as the bear? Didn't check out the price but my estimate is RM40.
