another strange offering from the rahmens.

watch the other 3 volumes on youtube!
here, here and here.

thums up!

today i was told to switch the stove off, which i did. and then i managed to set a nearby paper towel on fire. this is the 3rd time that i've set something in the kitchen on fire, so there were no theatrics or screaming, mum just beat the fire out with a spatula then threated to brain me with it (it being the aforementioned spatula).

i don't know why this happens! i didn't even touch the paper towel! but i think when i leaned forward it drifted a little onto the flame. anyway whatever it is, i would just like to state for the record that i'm not really inept in the kitchen although my family probably won't even trust me to switch a kettle off without blowing up the house. i wish i'd taken a picture!

bimbotic post ahead .. ye have been warned

i am chuffed! enough to blog about it! chuffed because i found two pairs of mother's old bruno magli* shoes in the garage and realizing they fit you perfectly! huzzah for mothers with expensive taste! now these are vintage bruno magli shoes because they were made/purchased when i was a wee tot. or perhaps even before i was an embryo. they need to be re-soled and re-heeled but that's ok. contented bug!


i took this with my new camera phone. the quality is a little off i reckon, but good enough for our purposes today. look! i especially love the red pair. they're a bit scuffed though. and i'm not quite sure how to clean them up properly aside from the "gently wiping with a damp cloth" technique.

and in case you don't quite get how happy i am because you are a boy and are not into women's shoes, then auntie pratma puts it this way:

"it's like finding a perfectly restored MG roadster in my garage!"

yeah ok whatever. purdy shoooooes...

* wiki entry here

as of tomorrow, or maybe my singapore trip, i will embark on my samurai bunny project. the ones i've had on the right were kind of experiments. but now it will be my artistic endeavour!!

as kuniyoshi's artistic attention was held for most of his life by the chushingura (forty-seven ronin theme), mine seems to be with turning his classic prints into bunnies. they are bushido bunnies even. heehee ..

i'm not trying to compare myself to some super old and dead yet ultra-talented print-master here, and pretty sure there's more than one person out there who thinks i'm bastardising his work, but that's not the intention i assure you. this is just something that started as a whimsical idea when i started this blog, that just happened to grow and grow into something that i want to turn into my first proper artistic endeavour!

bunnies are cute.
