Rung on the ladder
Someone has to advocate for the finer things in life, so throw an exemplary party—for no particular occasion. Invite some people who don't know but will enjoy one another. Tell them what to wear, but don't say "casual," say "sexy" or "Rat Pack." When they ask what they can bring, say, "Just a good mood." Do not talk business, and if you hear it being talked, nip it in the bud. Mandate dancing or games. Take pictures. Flirt. Take a walk on the wild side.
If you find yourself alone and panicked at a familiar face whose name escapes you, grab a hand and say, "You look fantastic!" It will never occur to your acquaintance that you have no idea who he or she is.
It's better to be overdressed than underdressed. People will assume you are going to or coming from something better.
Unbuttoned
M.O.P. buttons, spread collar, double layer collarband. Combine powers with khaki-coloured chinos, and all other polo shirts are now nothing but utterly inferior...

Space walk
Apollo 12 astronaut (Conrad or Bean?) out for a stroll on the now defunct old Klang city bridge. Uhm, yea.

Bike rights
What's biking like in Malaysia? There are no bike lanes, cyclists are relatively unheard of on main roads and cyclists are invisible to motorists. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to start cycling again...

Weaver
At my deathbed, I'd probably be thinking, "Damn boy. You sure did own one too many blue oxford button-downs...". Born wrapped in blue, lived parading in blue and died grinning in blue.

Code name
CH07 Shell chair by Hans Wegner.
Could a tall lanky fella sit comfortably on this pretty little thing? Hmm?

Suitably suited
You graduated in that suit, landed the job in that suit, got the girl in that suit...you became a man in that suit.

Breeze through
"...inside trains, humans are imitating sardines, while drivers stall and stew in their own exhaust. The cyclist however is completely free, in motion, almost flying, a huge smile wiped across their face.
We firmly believe that the bicycle is the best form of urban transit for the 21st century, and our clothing is designed to make that fact even more true."

Dirty hands
"I was self-taught. I just went crazy with it. It was the total skateboarder's approach to it. You don't go to skateboard classes, you kind of just pick it up. You see what other people are doing, you read Thrasher. That was my approach. It worked though."

Pile up
Sigh. The only thing that sucks about living in the tropics is that you'd be crazy to put on more than one layer of clothing.

Word play
It's girls like you that make me think ten times before speaking out loud. In my head, I'd attempt to rephrase my sentence to sound ever slightly more intelligent, but mostly ending up murmuring like an incoherent dork. Talking to her over the interwebs, I would make sure to spell-check every word before hitting 'enter', only to realise a second after in utter horror that 'their' was actually meant to be 'they're'. In other words, girls like you leave me speechless and all I can muster up as a reply is a half-assed smile. But hey, all of that would still be perfectly fine...
