Instead of Studying

Inspired by this little girl having dinner opposite me studying for my exams (death) at the hotdog place.

Nice Outfit

Bedwin S/S '10.

Got Frisbee!

with sexy silver foil print and all. Now to find someone to toss with.

Boing~!

If I'm not wrong the guy catching the ball is supposed to touch the guy running in with the gloved hand (holding the ball).

Logo Design is Difficult

Probably will get rejected by J, but still think this is a kinda fun logo for the SY blog.

Braggadocio

Still the Greatest

According to the description, he said "Hey Mutombo, this one's for you." If you watch any NBA at all, you can tell by the sound that he got it in.

Kido House in Zirca

So the deal was if Ryo dared to rock those cat ears to the club and take pictures with 5 girls, I'd go.

Ended up putting on quite a show for a small crowd.

Kengo and Takahiro busting out the yoyos in Zirca. Kengo has some sick musicality.

Good times!

Thanks for getting us in, Hakim!

Enjoy Your Youth, Fuckers!

That was what I wanted to say in response to DJ Mandi's note.

Remember when getting high meant swinging on the playground?

When protection meant wearing a helmet?

When the worst things you could get from boys were cooties?

Dad's shoulders were the highest place on Earth and Mum was your hero?

Race issues were about who ran the fastest.

War was only a card game.

And the only drug you know was cough medicine?

The most pain you felt was when you skinned your knees.

And goodbyes only meant until tomorrow?

And we couldn't wait to grow up.

Asia Pacific Yoyo Championships 2010: Outtakes Pt. 2

Tatsuya rockin the... cat ears~!?

The Legend just practicing.

Chris flashing his underwear at the capacity crowd at ION.

Kengo says: For study Engrish!

Colin miraculously, still alive after 4 days of making the impossible happen.

The dust settles as we draw an end to a beautiful dream.

Asia Pacific Yoyo Championships 2010: Outtakes

Kengo rockin' the beer with the bao? Yes.

Our Taiwanese champion digging for gold? No.

Just chillin with (from left) Ernest, Sui Kai, Azrul, Random Naughty Boy, Chris and Kohta. Kohta told us about how a Japanese yoyo player was practicing lay on back loops and the yoyo smacked his balls WHILE winding up, effectively getting stuck onto his balls or something. They had to call the ambulance.

The Legend vs. The Hi Score

Possibly the 2 best players in an exhibition match.

Daigo is a living legend having won countless tournaments. Mago has the most Battle Points in the whole of Japan (everytime you win someone you get some Battle Points) .

A True Renegade

The Reason I'm Not Studying

When my exams are a few days away is because when I listen to this song I must pick up my yoyo. Plus even when I'm not playing it, it's in my head. ARR~ IRRITATING~!

Great Idea!

I'm not sure how many schools are doing this but the Principal's Desk allows kids to suggest and leave feedback in an environment they're familiar with. The school justifies its decisions when questioned by the students, and the public nature makes sure no one posts nonsense for fear of looking dumb.

Sounds awesome to me!

It's About the People: Asia Pacific Yoyo Championships 2010

Not the competition, the prizes, the expensive clothes, not even the colourful sneakers, the tricks or the metal light up yoyos. Forget all of that, because more than anything I really just want to hang out with you guys.

JO~DAI!!

Old Friends~

In the house we have Nichy Chow!!

Our seoul representative from Sole, Korea!!

King is so funny! Hope we get to talk more next time!

The Legend.

2011. We'll do it all over again.

High Art Hijinx

Famous graffiti artist paints on public wall for no money. Public gets to view some intelligent art for no money. Gallery owner removes public wall presumably to make some money. Money from selling art piece goes to gallery owner?

But then again, it could all be a publicity stunt huh?

Infinity Ice Cream Singapore

The meal that inspired the video. 30 yoyo players taking out the whole section in the restaurant.

The story is that we were trying to look for a place to eat and ended up at this place with free flow ice cream and drinks. We were trying to explain that to the Japanese and one of the Taiwanese guys said "Mugen ice cream" which literally means unlimited ice cream. Kengo's electronic dictionary probably translated that into "Infinity Ice Cream", which eventually became the title of probably the best video documentary of Asia Pacific Yoyo Championships 2010.

Local Support!

We Will All Laugh at Gilded Butterflies

So Cute! ^^

Full screen for better effect!

Away Message: Back to School

Skipping 1 week of school for a yoyo competition has its consequences. Be back on Monday ish.

Doo You Rike Shing-gah-poore Style?

Dinner with some of the most fun players from Japan! They prefer Char Kway Teow over Hokkien Mee.

Perfectly Contented

That was how she looked as she watched us rehearse backstage.

It seemed to pain me just thinking in maybe 15 years the world will make her fiend over expensive clothes, whatever male pop star is on the posters of her generation, make up, spas, diets, money, and all that.

Leave the kids alone.

Magic Circles

Right place, right performers, right music, right timing, right atmosphere, right crowd.

Magic.
