Yellow and Black

Robinson's treasure

2011-09-15T16:01:00.001+08:00

Stopped by Robinson's and they love yellow and black. Here's a yellow and black coffee maker.

End of watermarks

2011-07-17T10:43:00.001+08:00

I decided to stop watermarking images I post here. I realized it was taking too much of my time and that I couldn't update the blog as often. Also I dislike when other people watermark their images as well as realizing I'm pilfering their images under fair use to post here. It's also a result of using more web images rather than those I capture myself. You may notice posts in 2011 have no watermarks.

Bunny suicide

2011-07-17T10:36:00.001+08:00

Here is a notebook. It cost 9 us dollars. From fancy and http://www.teneues.com/shop-us/stationery/composition-books/bunny-suicides.html

Painful way to go bunny.

Fancy phonograph

2011-07-17T10:33:00.001+08:00

Another fancy contribution and it's indeed an object of desire for me. Here's the description from fancy

BRIONVEGA RR 126 Radiofonografo, 1965 designed by Achille and Oier Ciacomo Castiglioni

Fancy bugatti

2011-07-17T10:29:00.001+08:00

Finding yellow and black things for this blog is not easy. You can say it's a full time job. So I've resorted to other sites and apps to help me. I often use this iOS app called Fancy. Here's one of it's contributions. Any contributions from Fancy will have the fancy tag attach. It's not cause I fancy the word fancy, it's just to tag the source as fancy.

Taken from Fancy and http://silodrome.com/1937-bugatti-type-57-roadster-by-worblaufen/

Swiss coachbuilder Worblaufen was responsible for some truly remarkable auto designs between 1929 and 1958. The Bugatti Type 57 pictured above and below is a fine example of Worblaufen’s work and it’s also quite possibly they’re most famous project.

Bugatti produced just 710 Type 57s between 1934 and 1940, they used a modified 3.3 litre twin-cam engine also used in the Type 49. The car was capable of over 100mph, was said to handle well and was used by many wealthy buyers as their primary racing car.

This particular Type 57 is going under the hammer at the upcoming Montery RM Auction being held on the 19th and 20th of August 2011, you can view the cars listing page here. There is currently no listed reserve but if you guessed “millions” you’ll be pretty close, a recently auctioned Type 57 went for 3.4 million Euros.

Where to put your books

2011-07-17T10:10:00.001+08:00

This conceptual bookend uses the scroll concept and springs to keep the books upright and inplace. I think books are on the way out. If you ever been to a book warehouse sale you might know why. Loads of books with hardly any buyers or interest.

Bi bim bap

2011-07-17T10:04:00.001+08:00

Bi bim bap a Korean dish characterized by the central bullseye egg surrounded by fresh ingredients of different colours. There's carrots, dried seaweed, onions, ground chicken, lots of sesame seeds which I like, cucumbers, lettuce, mushrooms and spinach. Healthy? I'd say so. Cost about RM15 in Mont Kiara.

Ohhhhhh long

2011-07-17T09:57:00.001+08:00

A copycat from Garnier another mascara maker who uses yellow and black packaging. RM70 bucks. Sheesh mascara is expensive. This one appears to be from Japan.

Dicksmith and the Richmond tigers

2011-07-17T09:54:00.001+08:00

Tigers being naturally yellow and black are often used as mascots. Here the Richmond Tigers and AFL (Australian football league) team in Queensland Have dicksmith as a supporter. Go tigers.

Fiat old school design

2011-07-17T09:47:00.000+08:00

The new Fiat 500 looks great in yellow. Saw this in model in Bangkok. Costs between 100k to 120k in ringgits. My dad had a different fiat and it gave him loads of problems. Still rather go for a mini.

Yummy

2011-07-17T09:42:00.001+08:00

Homemade cupcakes yellow and black. Costs pennies to make.

Flights of fancy

2011-07-13T08:32:00.001+08:00

Ever heard of yellow and black jewelry? The fancy tag refers to the fancy app on iOS which shows desirable objects. I pick a few nice ones in yellow and black.

Cinema in yellow

2011-07-13T08:28:00.001+08:00

Nice yellow bike. Seats kinda funky.

Vietnamese lacquered coasters

2010-09-26T14:18:00.001+08:00

Supor pot

2010-08-18T23:26:00.002+08:00

Supor makes cookware in many colours. The yellow ones look the best, especially with the black non-stick cooking surfaces.

Triple treat

2010-08-18T23:18:00.001+08:00

Nike seems to like this colour combination, but I saw recently so does Reebok. Anyway here are two football boots and a nice sneaker in my favourite colour combination

Yellow and purple

2010-08-18T23:13:00.002+08:00

This cute keychain seems to be made of felt material and has the logo of a toilet man. The stitching is purple not black but its just as nice.

Yellow united

2010-08-18T23:05:00.002+08:00

I was surprised to see this too. Manchester United, typically has black, red or white jerseys. Here are yellow and black jackets.

World Cup South Africa 2010

2010-08-18T22:54:00.001+08:00

The world cup is over but here's the official ball in all its yellow and black goodness. Those South Africans really have good taste.

Fitness tools

2010-08-18T22:45:00.002+08:00

Wanna look cool, not dumb? Fill these up with water and lift.

Booting from a boot

2010-08-18T22:40:00.002+08:00

Now you can boot your computer from a boot. OMG. Get it from DocMarten online shop.

Soccer ball

2010-08-16T22:13:00.001+08:00

Soccer ball motif on a CD album - nice. Yellow and black - classic.

My apologies

2010-08-08T23:11:00.002+08:00

Almost one year away from this blog. I'm still collecting yellow and black items but its been a really difficult posting them regularly. I have a dozen other projects that need my attention. I regret that I only have one life to live with so many desires, responsibilities and passions. I'll keep working on it.

NDSi XL Yellow

2010-08-08T22:59:00.003+08:00

I already own an NDS but this one just makes me want to get another one. It's the larger NDSi XL which had 2 4.2-inch screens and 2 cameras. I love the black accents around the edges and even the stylus has black accents. This is high on my WANT list RM760.

Yellow underwater

2010-08-08T22:53:00.006+08:00

Sanyo Xacti. A small full HD video camera which is also waterproof. Plus it takes photos at 14 megapixels at 10 ft of water (3 feet) which is snorkle depth. Is there a reason why you don't own it already?

Asus EEE PC 1001PQ

2010-08-08T22:45:00.001+08:00

Here's the Asus EEE PC in bright yellow and racing stripes. Asus has made laptops for Lamborghini before in yellow. This laptop is an exceptionally beautiful specimen.

Shoot in style

2009-09-25T13:54:00.003+08:00

I'm not saying that you should, but if you wanted to, you could order custom colors on your Pentax k-x SLR.

Sensia Pure Touchscreen radio

2009-09-25T13:06:00.002+08:00

Is it a radio or a TV? If it's a radio, why does it have a screen? Audiophiles!

Wearable waterproof webcams

2009-09-25T12:59:00.002+08:00

These wearable waterproof webcams are good for sports but they are mega expensive. I think the box has a screen and memory for playback. Dunno if they are wireless but I doubt it.

Musical things

2009-09-25T12:55:00.005+08:00

The device on your left is the Korg KAOSSILATOR. I believe it makes music via the black touch pad in the bottom. On the right, its integrated into a yellow and black guitar hero controller. There's so much ynb goodness here.

Googlicious

2009-09-20T10:51:00.001+08:00

It's a google search appliance. I want one. If you have an old one you don't need anymore, I'd like to buy one from you. Contact me!

Champion

2009-09-20T10:33:00.003+08:00

Who is this guy and why is he lying on the floor wearing tennis shoes, black shirt and shorts, a yellow head band and yellow wrist bands? Why he's Mr Juan Martin del Porto from Argentina after defeating world #1 Roger Federer at the 2009 US open final to win in 5 sets.

Vintage Video game console

2009-09-20T10:24:00.002+08:00

I think the game is called Space War. The console was placed for auction on e-bay and sold for USD2,500. Nice to have.

2009-09-20T10:16:00.002+08:00

Here's a vintage keyboard. Notice the smooth curves. In the future design will not be limited by sharp corners and edge joints.

Diffuse Optical Tomography anyone?

2009-09-20T09:58:00.002+08:00

This device straps on to your baby's head, and light is sent thru those black plugs. The light diffuses thru your baby's head and is somehow scanned back to determine the oxygen content of hemoglobins in the blood. Neat?

Another wow

2009-08-31T10:43:00.001+08:00

As a yellow and black collector, there are moments when I just go wow. A yellow and black puzzle chess set? With yellow and black chess board? Saw this in a store window of the puzzle place at Mid Valley KL.

Non lethal

2009-08-31T10:42:00.001+08:00

Nothing says non-lethal like yellow and black. This is the Taser shotgun edition.

A compact economical car in Texas?

2009-08-31T10:37:00.002+08:00

Notice how it looks very much like the shopping card on the left?

Yummy Yellow and black

2009-07-31T14:05:00.001+08:00

Strikingly similar to another famous egg tart, this one can be found at the end of Hua Hai Rd in Shanghai.

My baby carriage

2009-07-31T14:04:00.001+08:00

If I had my way, this would be the baby carriage for my baby.

Kung Fuuuuuuu

2009-07-31T14:03:00.002+08:00

The likeness of one famous movie star is now a fast food franchise in China.

Shanghai Signage

Yellow and black signage. I believe its a medicinal shop.

Shanghai fashion

2009-07-31T14:00:00.001+08:00

Yellow fever has hit Shanghai. Check out the mother daughter yellow and black couple in the top left.

Perfect packaging

2009-07-31T13:57:00.001+08:00

How else to sell yellow nail polish, other than in a clear glass bottle with a black top. 14ml. Saw this in Shanghai.

Cosmetic Theme

2009-07-31T13:56:00.001+08:00

Guess what this is? That's right, its an eye bag whitener. It's amazing how the beauty industry continuously invents things you don't really need. Yet, women flock to these stores and buy stuff.

Clearing out the clocks

2009-07-31T13:53:00.001+08:00

This one even has a radio. The little dial down there controls the frequency.

Coin operated jalopy

2009-07-30T13:32:00.002+08:00

Last item for today. It's a coin-operated car. Very nice colour scheme. Found in MidValley.

2009-07-30T13:23:00.001+08:00

Nice porceline cups with tree motif.

Grand Turismo

2009-07-30T12:35:00.001+08:00

I can't wait for GT5 to come out. I once saw a similar wheel for an actual car made by Momo. Wish I had the cash to buy it then. This one is for a video game.

iRoom clock

2009-07-30T12:33:00.001+08:00

Check out this clock. Yellow face, chrome sides, black hands and numbers. Very train station style.

Lighthouse equipment

2009-07-30T12:30:00.001+08:00

Here's old lighthouse equipment from the most easterly point in Australia. It's actually a lifeboat radio. Pretty heavy.

Aussie plates

2009-07-30T12:27:00.004+08:00

Here's an aussie license plate in yellow and black. Wish Malaysia had coloured license plates.

Chair set

2009-06-19T21:37:00.002+08:00

Big bicycle

2009-06-19T21:33:00.001+08:00

Lots of signage in Australia. This one is a large bicycle on top of a shop.

Eating at spoon

2009-06-19T21:29:00.001+08:00

This is a sign for a restaurant in Byron Bay NSW.

Factorie clothing store

2009-06-19T21:26:00.001+08:00

This is a sign for a clothing store.

Aussie glass

Here's a plate I saw in one of the giftshop in Brisbane. Nice and yellow.

Not a simpson PSP

2009-06-19T21:19:00.000+08:00

Here it is PSP slim in bright yellow. Price RM900.

Getting married yellow and black style

2008-12-29T20:13:00.002+08:00

This photo accompanied a story about a bride who planned her wedding meticulously then ended up in a carriage accident. Sorry.

Eco friendly yellow and black

2008-12-29T19:57:00.003+08:00

Here is a lightweight electric vehicle from electric bikes [http://www.electric-bikes.com/]. It has a 150mile range at 70mph. Pretty zippy. I like.

Adidas football Euro 2008

2008-08-26T12:36:00.002+08:00

Adidas football for Euro 2008. I think this is a practice ball. It has the markings but not the stitching of the actual game ball. For that reason, the price is probably in the region of RM40.

yellow and black diarrhea explosion of posts

2008-08-26T11:20:00.001+08:00

I took a long vacation from posting but I've still been collecting yellow and black things. So prepare for a yellow and black diarrhea explosion of posts.

Bathing

2008-07-21T13:36:00.002+08:00

This is a bath sponge although it looks a lot like those mops or furry carpets. Its yellow and sold in Carrefour. Might get one. Less than RM5 probably.

2008-07-06T13:28:00.003+08:00

I have a yellow and black yoga mat. Actually it was cream but here is a yellow and black yoga mat which is actually Yellow. Still Nike. Still RM80.

2008-05-13T13:16:00.001+08:00

This pair of dice came with a Simpsons Monopoly game. Later I found a shop selling yellow and black dice for RM0.60 a piece. I bought 5.

Yellow clocks

2008-04-22T12:02:00.002+08:00

Here's another clock I snapped at Metrojaya in Midvalley. It has a nice racing feel to it. It was discounted to about RM20.

Time for more yellow and black

2008-04-22T11:56:00.002+08:00

Time for more yellow and black. Saw this clock at the Gardens at an ID store. Don't know the price but its on sale at least.

Delicious noodles

2008-04-15T17:33:00.003+08:00

Here is a bunch of things from my recent trip to Hong Kong. The first is this plate of noodles. Maybe it was because we were starving but this plate of wan tan mee - our first meal in HK was quite delicious. My only regret was that I couldn't finish the plate. HKD30

New places unsual things

2008-04-15T17:31:00.002+08:00

I love being taken away from normalcy. When you're in a foreign country even ordinary things seem exciting and new. Here's a HK vending machine with labels of drinks I've never tried.

Lotsa food in HK

2008-04-15T17:30:00.002+08:00

We ate lots of nice things in Hong Kong include this Pau from a Dim Sum place. It's filled with sugary custard. Very sinful and ultra delicious. We ate lots and the bill came up to HKD130 for 3 people. Very reasonable.

Silk tie galore

2008-04-15T17:28:00.001+08:00

Check out the tie at the end with the ancient Chinese writing. I think the ties were selling for HKD100 for 4. Too bad I don't wear ties.

Shoes logo

2008-04-15T17:27:00.001+08:00

Not one of my most impressive items but I think it was one of the firsts. Yellow and black shoe logo.

Doggie

2008-04-15T17:25:00.001+08:00

This adorable dog was holding a yellow rope in his mouth. He was just sitting at one of the stalls being set up on Ladies street in HK. We arrived early and things weren't set up yet and I got a picture of him.

Imitation bag

2008-04-15T17:22:00.002+08:00

HK is full of imitation bags and you may recognize this one. It's so yellow and black that I'd consider using it myself.

Delicious mango pudding

2008-04-15T17:20:00.001+08:00

HK is famous also for these delicious mango puddings. Mango's are great but I especially like the Philippine mangoes. This one was nice too. I think this particular bowl cost around HKD20.

CAT

2008-04-15T17:18:00.001+08:00

We stumbled into the salvation army store in HK and found some CAT merchandise. CAT which is short for Caterpillar makes tractors and other yellow and black things. This is probably a freebie - but being sold at HKD10.

Hopping yellow and black

2008-04-15T17:16:00.001+08:00

A yellow and black frog. Very lovely. Don't know the price.

Delicious tarts

2008-04-15T17:13:00.001+08:00

These tarts are so delicious and they only cost HKD6 a piece. What? They're worth it.

Guess what this is

2008-04-15T17:10:00.002+08:00

Guess what this device strapped to a pole in the street does? Well at a cross walk you look at the green man to know when its ok to cross. If you're blind, maybe you listen for a walk siren which is a repeating tone at a particular speed. If you're blind and deaf, you put your finger underneath this device, and feel its vibrations. Amazing.

Bart head

2008-04-15T17:07:00.002+08:00

I love the Simpson's and Hong Kong has lots of Simpson merchandise, although not all original. This is a Bart head coin box i found at one of the street markets in HK. Didn't ask the price but you'd be sure to get about a 50% discount.

Even Bruce Lee likes it

2008-04-15T17:00:00.002+08:00

The greatest martial art hero likes yellow and black. Bruce Lee is great because he doesn't just play a kung fu warrior in the movies, he IS one in real life. If you watch his biography, you'd know that he developed a martial arts style called Jeet Kune Do. He was said to be able to punch a guy across a room by moving his fist just 1 inch. This is a wax figure of him at Madame Tussaud in HK.

Time for more yellow and black

2008-04-06T00:17:00.001+08:00

Saw a big add for this watch at Landmark on Makati Avenue. Then I saw it in the counter. It's actually kinda ugly - but its Nike and its yellow and black. My guess is around PHP800. I could be totally off.

Want.... I want....

2008-04-06T00:13:00.002+08:00

Whenever I go to the Philippines, I always check ebay for something to buy. I saw this PSP Simpson special edition for PHP12,500. Oh I want it so bad. This photo was taken from a shop. It's yellow and it comes with the Simpson's game on UMD. It's a special limited edition PSP only available in Europe.

Trendy

2008-04-06T00:09:00.003+08:00

Pinays are quite trendy sometimes. And I've always liked Kenneth Cole stuff. My sis gave me a Kenneth Cole toiletries bag and I love it. These are yellow Kenneth Cole ladies handbags I saw at Rustan's in Glorietta. Knowing Kenneth Cole, these costs a lot. Maybe PHP10k?

Furniture too

2008-04-06T00:05:00.001+08:00

The Phillippines has some nice furniture including this yellow chair. I think the frame is steel but the material is some sort of leather. Guess pricing around PHP3500 per chair.

Northface bag

2008-04-05T23:59:00.001+08:00

Here is another bag spotted in the Philippines. This time its a huge duffle bag from Northface. Must be quite expensive. Estimate PHP1000.

Milestone

2008-04-05T23:52:00.005+08:00

I've surpassed 100 posts with this one. Since I travel, I not only see yellow and black things in my home country of Malaysia but I also pick up stuff from places I visit. I'm not saying these things you can only get in those countries, only that they exist there as well. First an adidas bag from the Philippines. Don't know the cost for this one. Estimate it at PHP300.

What did the tool say to the wall?

2008-03-28T16:09:00.002+08:00

Hey baby, wanna screw? Stanley makes tools. Even screwdrivers. And they are all yellow and black. This is the iconic construction colours. Price range from RM20.

Tea anyone

2008-03-28T16:04:00.002+08:00

I was out and about when I saw this lovely china tea set. Quite nice I thought until I saw the price tag. RM19,900. It must be nicer than I thought. Who loves tea that much? But wait... Its been discounted 37% Its now only RM12,537. Excuse me while I buy a 40 inch HD LCD TV.

Euro 2008

2008-03-28T16:01:00.004+08:00

Its a Euro 2008 training ball. No it is! Unfortunately David Beckham won't be kicking it around because England is out of the Euro 2008 championships. To think... Greece won this event in 2006. The 2006 world cup holders Italy are from Europe. Just goes to show, anything can happen in football. Cost RM60

Doggie

2008-03-28T15:57:00.001+08:00

This doggie on a key chain is so cute. It has a black patch over its eye. Its made out of that PVC material and filled with fluff. Cost: RM6.90

Its a dress

2008-03-28T15:45:00.005+08:00

Yes its a dress. I don't recall where or when I took this picture but there it is. You can tell there's a lot of junk in my collection. To be fair, I've seen lots of other yellow and black dresses. So having one in my collection isn't so bad.
