DeInspiration Thoughts: Keep Your Enemies Closer...Isn't That Your Best Friend?

Sun-tzu once said this in his famous military manual book - The Art of War: "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer". Normally, the closest person to us is usually our best friend. Isn't that mean our best friend is actually our enemy?

No wonder the world are so paranoid these days. Heh.

Nike Sportswear Six Collaborations: The Alternative National Team Kits

The World Cup 2010 is going to start in less than 3 months and related football merchs already start to appear on the market for us the footie-holics to fathom on. Not only jerseys but t-shirt, polos, shoes...anything that could let fans show their support of the team.

So does Nike, with a new collection that they dubbed the Nike Six Collaborations. What they did is they asked six artists from six nations to come out with a badge, mascot, print and an alphabet in their handwriting style. Their artworks are then transferred into N98 Track Jacket, AW 77 hoodie, kit tee, polo shirt and short for both men and women; tee for men and tank for women which are also draped with respective team colors.

On top of those fine apparels, the collection is also strengthen by couple of kicks - Nike LunarLite Rejuven8 Mid and Air Max BW Gen II, together such as Air Zoom Tiempo, Dunk High AC, Air Footscape Freemotion and Nike LunarLite Chukka Woven - that are also going to follow the collaboration's design philosophy.

Being fan of England, having England as part of the collection is pretty cool but since I'm more traditional guy, would prefer a jersey instead, in particularly the team's new away jersey that they showed off at Nike Football Innovation Summit. Still, I am going to check out the collection when they drops by at Nike Sportswear stores. You just got to seem them in real life before giving the final verdict, right?

So, do check out some shots of them together with information about the artists behind each collection, right after the break. Tell me what you think of them...yay or nay?

FFFFUUUU Tales: Can't Sing Man Utd Song In Her Car

So worth the trouble.

So, as a Manchester United fanboi, chanting Glory Glory Man United randomly is pretty normal occurances. Yesterday, I did the same while on the way back from the mall with my missus. Then, she said:

"I want to put a new rule. The next time you sing that song, I'll BAN you from my car."

As funny as it might seems, I actually understand the reason behind the threat. Because she is a supporter of Liverpool, that's why.

So lads, avenge our last defeat. GLORY GLORY MAN UNITEEEDDD!! \m/

NOTE: This was written like a day before the match. If you didn't know the outcome, United won by 2 - 1. Revenge have been served, w00t!

Energizer Night Race 2010: Race Vest and Bib Number Settled.

Got name somemore on the bib number. Meanwhile, that's Adidas ClimaCool outfit, yo.

So, I've pick up my running outfit and bib number on the first collection session last Sunday. Thought I would received the whole goodie bag but instead, I only received those two above. The organizer will pass the rest on the event day itself this coming Saturday.

When I arrived there, there were only XXL and XXXL shirt left. Thought the XXL would be too big for me but noooo, it fits me ngam-ngam. Dayum, I'm fat. T_T

Well, only the big day left now. Can't wait. :)

FFFFUUU Tales: Why Must They Fell Down When I Was Eating?

Lucky not like this.

At my university campus, there are food courts located at each hostel's ground floor that is accessible for both male and female. One of them is my favorite lunch joint due their cheap and nice foods.

So one day, I went for lunch there, just like any other day when I'm at campus. I was happily OM NOM NOM-ing, suddenly...."KECEPEK!"...something fell from few floor above that sent water drops towards my lunch; almost landed on them. I was like wat ta farrrrkkk is those thing....

So, I focus my view on them and I recognized it was a pair of men's brief and jeans that were soaking wet. Apakah, people are eating liao! FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU...

But then, did I stop eating? Hell no. I was hungry. NOMS!

FFFFUUU Tales: No Car, No Marry.

Mmmmmmm...I rike. But kenot get (for now). :(

So, sometimes ago I asked my missus - "Hon, since now you got car...I don't need to buy one, right? I can go get another bike, right right right right?". In that split milliseconds before she uttered her reply, my head went on to dream and drool about this one bike that I really fond of - Kawasaki ER-6n or ER-6f...fffffuuuhhhhhhh.

Then, the day-dreaming came to an abrupt end when she replied, "NO. Get a car or else, mama will not approves of you.". Awwww, mang. Sad, I has. :(

16 Days To Go: This Is Where I Stand

16 days more left before the Energizer Night Race 2010 takes place. Judging from my last two run recorded by Nike+ above, I would say that things are looking good although for this week, running is in the back seat as I'm a bit swarmed with work.

Nevertheless, I'm moving on to get more road sesh as prior to last week, my runs took place almost entirely on treadmills. Man, are they two different worlds apart or what...personally, road running felt harder due to natural elements such as sun and humidity plus uneven surface, traffics and bunch of other distractions. T_T

It's really tough but what to do, I'm not joining a treadmill event lol. For this week, I'm going to push the distance to 9km and 9.5km for the following week. Hope I'm able to get my running done as I planned. :)

You on Nike+ too? Add me as buddy by searching for the nick "chapree". ;)
