Another group purchase, this round was from Aus Liebe zum Duft (First in Fragrance). They were offering 20% discount to celebrate 20 years in business.

The whole parcel was delivered and arrived at my friend's place last Friday. Since we both can't really meet up, he has been kind enough to deliver it using a driver:



Portrait of A Lady by Frederic Malle. The nose behind this scent is the perfumer Dominique Ropion. The pocket perfume quiz was a gift from my friend that came together in the parcel:







My first bottle of Frederic Malle was purchased in Paris in June 2013, a 'dwarfted' 50ml Angeliques Sous La Pluie. You might be wondering why a 50ml and not a 100ml? After all, the price was not much different. Well, if you have a Home Minister watching over your shoulder, you should know the feeling well.



If you are interested in sampling some Frederic Malle, our local store Ken's Apothecary has recently added in this perfume house to their stable.

Love the Abbeyhorns, one of the best shoe horns out there. I was given one to put on the shoes at Edward Green and I knew immediately I had to get them.

I've always wanted one of those leather shoe care case but I need one big enough lol.

I am still in search of a proper wooden shoe valet box. May need to commission a wood craftsman after selecting the wood type.

Saphir has some really nice wooden valet boxes with drawers. Saw one made out of Rosewood. I also fancy one by Crockett & Jones, comes with a leather handle and tiered storage.

I used to have those exact law statutes when I was studying in the UK. Out of curiosity are you working as a lawyer over in the UK?

This got delivered yesterday Nasa X Ultra4D Halo Silver



good contrasting pairs this month

Yup I have been contemplating in getting the valet box by Saphir but on the other side I have an idea to use local timber wood like chengal, meranti or balau to add some Malaysia identity. Again, it is just an idea, nothing concrete yet.

It is a shame that I am neither a lawyer, nor residing in UK.

I was studying my 3rd degree in LLB more than 16 years ago on part time basis, and met my better half there as a law student. Those statutes are some of the memorabilia my wife and I are still keeping.

Btw, are you a lawyer, or a law student yourself?

I think it'll be pretty cool to have a patterned box made out of different woods.

Imagine the amount of shopping you would do here in uk

I read that and immediately thought of Fine Grit Studios. Check out this Semangkok herringbone table.

I've been here for almost 14 years now, I guess I'm pretty much settled down now. I do agree it is more difficult to come over now especially with even more rulings.

I know I will go bankrupt if I ever reside in UK

It is good that you are practising what you learned , not like me, master of none

Personally I think Malaysia is equally as good as in UK.

Oh btw, wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.

And get ready for the Boxing Day sales!

wow looks nice, i feel those 4d are a bit stiffer on forefoot

Happy Christmas everyone!!!

Yes, 4Ds are indeed not as spongy as boost. But I don't mind the feel of it in comparison to EVA midsoles. How do you like yours?
Aesthetically I much preferred it over boost.

Anyone has any experience with Moncler jackets? Are they worth the high price tag? (Quality of construction and able to keep you warm)

Looking for a BIFL (Buy it for life) winter jacket as I travel frequently overseas during the winter months.

Took a look at Canada Goose, and didn't really like their designs, too plain.

main reason i copped it was to test 4d tech, having said that i had a full day walking in em and overall experienced about avg foot fatigue, i mean the prime knit upper helps. i personally wont use em as a travel/holiday sneaker (i believe there's subtle differences between 4d models)
I also imagine runners with forefoot strike or midfoot will not hav a good time in these if indeed they are running in these!

Happy New Year everyone!

And keep hauling!
