Versace Men’s Spring Summer 2019 Collection Show at Via Gesù, Milan, Italy
[Luxury Fashion] “Inspiration” is a word of yesterday, because is refers to the past as what is relevant today won’t be tomorrow. The Versace Men’s Spring Summer 2019 collection was born from the different emotions felt in different moments during the creation process. The Spring Summer collection plays with the perception of sensuality in a masculine context, so relevant that it can’t help but be gossiped about, from the tabloids to the streets. High on life, high on the very meaning of being Versace. The Versace man is not ordinary, but rather, he is looked at, talked about, and always turning … Continue reading Versace Men’s Spring Summer 2019 Collection Show at Via Gesù, Milan, Italy

A Date with the Hyundai Tucson 2.0L CRDI Diesel (Car Review)
[Car Review] I had sooooooo much fun with the Elantra Sport Turbo 1.6GDi during Chinese New Year earlier this year (which you can read here – https://timchew.net/2018/03/06/chinese-new-year-2018-with-the-6th-generation-hyundai-elantra-sport-1-6-turbo-gdi/) that I really couldn’t wait to try out another of Hyundai Motor’s turbocharged engine vehicles. This time round, it was the latest Hyundai Tucson 2.0L CRDI Diesel, a variant with a turbocharged powertrain that was built for outstanding performance and fuel-efficiency (but low and behold – ALL Tucson variants available in Malaysia have been granted the Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) status from the Malaysia government, meaning that you can park it in EEV … Continue reading A Date with the Hyundai Tucson 2.0L CRDI Diesel (Car Review)
A Date with the Nissan Navara – Black Series
[Car Review] I’ve honestly never done a review on a pickup before as I’ve always doubted whether I could handle the vehicle – with it being extra long, and wide, parking especially would be quite a challenge even with the rear sensors. It’s not that I’m a novice or driver lacking of confidence as I’ve driven and reviewed large vehicles including MPVs and SUVs before, just that I’ve witnessed on more than one occasion, pickups having difficulty parking in parking lots, especially the more cramped ones. So it wasn’t until the new Nissan Navara series came out with reverse … Continue reading A Date with the Nissan Navara – Black Series

Editor’s Note – June 2018
[Editor’s Note] #KITASUDAHMENANG We did it Malaysia! We managed to change the government peacefully! The onus now is on all of us to help our country progress away from the clutches of corruption and abuse of power. My nine (9) year mission to see the corrupt BN government voted out of office has come to a close. Now that rule of law has returned to Malaysia, things are going to get quite interesting for those who have stolen the rakyat’s money over the past few years. However, a new danger looms in the form of “religious” extremism as 1 … Continue reading Editor’s Note – June 2018
