2010..!?!




Well this is the first post of 2010.. I have no real excuse as to why I ain't been posting but it's hard because nothing interesting has really happened. And what has happened has been on twitter. Knowing some of my blog readers are close friends and twits I tend not to over share knowledge you already know. But then I have new readers who find this blog via searches on the internet of their favourite sneakers and stuff. So I'm just going to give u a quick wrap up of what I copped here is a list it runs from the end of 2009 to 2010. I mean, I've sed I've stopped with my trainers, but I can't sleep on these I actually love them.

X-mas sales were a flop, I got up early drove out and everything and didn't buy a thing. By the time I got to selfridges at around 11am, the racks were empty!! I've been sale shopping year after year and I've never seen that happen. But once again I came home empty handed, was pretty pissed the patta airmax 1's I wanted weren't in my size. Not to worry I jumped on ebay and purchased them for a little mark up but what the hell I love them. (I still ain't worn them but that's like half my kicks haha)

Well, I decided to finally write this blog because I've been having some pretty dull moments of my own. Some people would call them problems, to me it's just a distraction from the real goal. Usually I ignore them and they disappear. I've taken that option and then it only got worse so I had to dig a little deeper to find the root of the problem. I mean curing the symptoms never stops the problem!! So, after re-evaluating my own options and opinons I've come to notice this wasn't my problem to begin with, I just shouldered other people's words for no reason. I've always been the open minded, smart thinker who doesn't really care as long as everyone is happy.

I've been heavily addicted to CoD! I've finally prestieged once! And I've been watching some mad killcams on youtube. Check them out if you have time!! Shows you how your being owned!!

So 2010, what's all this crap u'll saying u will do differently or this is your year. At the end of the day, you've made no real changes and u'll just get another year older. We don't set out to make changes! We just change as the time comes. I mean we change with the times, hard times, sad times, rough time or any other time we change to adapt to our surroundings and our tastes mature and grow with us and with age. If you look back at your years and just think about what u used to be like, the generation reading this should be confused about what they want. The media and advertising gives us false hope. Look at all the kids now wanting to be celebrities and singers, performers you name it. Britians not got much talent, we have been shaped by the media our surroundings and that hope that winning the lottery will solve problems.

Fact is all these game shows and reality tv shows, aren't reality. They are putting dreams at arm length's reach and a lot of people think they can grab it whilst it's there. Truth is, it takes hard work, and determination to reach your goal, not just trying out for X-Factor and making it. Think about who's made it on them shows. Think about how long they've lasted in the spotlight.

Don't try and claim your 15 minutes of fame, you'll soon realise it's just empty and lonely at the top.
Sorry about the depressing start to your year! Technically it isn't my new year yet haha. Chinese new year ain't for another month! And it's year of the tiger!! It's already back round. Just shows me being the year of the rabbit how old I am.



Patta AM1's... Beautiful Shoe... Took me a while to cop but i copped...

Life's Mystery's Dim Version!!

Alrite as my tweet sed, "My life is quite interesting, but why do people follow my life?"
Why isit you all read my blog, I'm going to give you an insight as to why I read blogs and a reason why I like to write this rubbish.

My personal blog is all about me! That's right Daniel Mother Fucking Khor, a lot of you know me by that and know I'm proud of my name and I tend to refer to myself in 3rd person!

I don't think I'm any different from you I'm just a regular guy, trying to hustle and has an eye for beautiful things. I blog about things, people like us can get our hands on. Maybe I work a little harder for it, or maybe not as hard as you but regardless I hustle my own money, and everything you see on this blog is brought by my own money.

This blog was started around College times, when I left people just kept asking what u been up to man? What have you copped and I would link them to my blog. Since then, the blog has grown. I used to post images of other shit and stuff I wanted as well as interesting stuff I found. But I've realised sooo many other blogs do that. Nothing is original anymore. I used to use the blog to vent haha, I remember my Bitch Dan mode Rants when I used to be unhappy. But now I'm the happiest bunny around. (Yes, my Chinese sign is a Rabbit.)

Alrite here goes my attempt to answer one of life's mysteries. I thought of this after hearing everyone talk about X-Factor and I'm A Celeb, about Jordan doing the walk. We are living in the age of Information, where everything is instant. If you haven't got access to your phone, the internet or even a TV. It feels like a part of your life is missing, hey it's the bloody same for me. But we've taken it for granted. I mean I don't even need to watch X-Factor to know that Jedward was pretty awful and half the nation hated their singing ability but kept them on because all 16 and unders enjoyed voting for them. I know Cheryl Cole looked pretty hot last weekend. I've never sat down and watched X-factor but all this information was readily available at a touch of a button, and I am able to read it and regurgitate it, as if I watched it.
We as humans have started to become what I would say attention seeking, and sheepish at the same time. We tend to follow the current trend, try and fit in but hardly anyone wants to try something different. Honestly, I'm sure u have much better things to do than watch X-factor, in what ways does it benefit u, watching it? It only allow's u to discuss what you saw the nite before at work/school/out the next day. To fit in, to conform to seem like your part of something.

I on the other hand rarely have the time to watch late nite television, I've no frigging idea who's on x-factor and I'm a celeb. I don't feel the need to fit in, but everyone broadcast's it around me.
That brings me back to my first point, u read this because u want to find out more about me. You may want to copy or integrate some of my personality into your own. You read this because u find my shit interesting!

I just had time to kill so I thought I'll write some crap haha, coz I know you'll read it as well.

A Hero..!?!



Once again I've been busy busy busy haha. Doing what u may ask? Nah it hasn't been copping shit because after that Louis v cop I've been broke!!

Actually I brought a few pieces from the Jil Sander x Uniqlo collection, the cashmere cardigan was the best buy. It set me back quite a bit but I look like fucking Chink Bass!! (Chuck Bass if u never got the reference)

Let me fill u n00bs in on some happenings since my last post! Wow, dates well far back.



As you all know CoD:MW2 came out, that's right the most highly anticipated game since the first one!! I'm not that good at it yet, been slacking! Not played it since Kev jacked me of both my CoD games over a year ago. Here is the story of me copping the game.

I leave work Monday nite, 10:30p.m, drive straight to Watford Asda. I see a massive Q and jump in line. This was about 11:00p.m!! I happened to be 129th in the Q!! I was thinking I mite not get it, ask the people at the front of the Q and they have been Q-ing since 10p.m!! The game is released at 12p.m!! So we waited around and the pre-orders got their game first, so after a good hour, I finally pick up my copy of CoD!! Drive back down to NW, went to Asda in Colindale to get a drink, as me and my mate walk out of Asda, he heads off and I head to my car. I was stopped by some black guys. Yes I don't want to be racist but I was stopped by black guys!! He goes "I know u got the game give me the game, don't make me stab u for the game." I reply I ain't got it, and he decides to search me. Gay boy was feeling me up and shit and touched my phone and my big LV wallet. Nah I don't want ur phone or cash, just give me the game! I didn't have it on me it was in my car and he left me alone. Idiot, trying to rob me of a game he could have brought with his benefits money! Yes, I'm sure this unemployed waste man, was claiming some sort of benefits or his parents was claiming some sort of benefits. If u have a probably stolen PS3 to play on why not just buy the game.

Anyways enough of that, the weekend before CoD:MW2 I decided to order DJ Hero!! I was going to settle for the poor mans edition, normal decks and the game. But nah I'm a bigger man than that, needed the case and the gold/black decks. So I splashed out for the renegade edition. Oh I forgot to fill u in, before all these games came out my PS3 was broken for about 6 months, I decided to buy another PS3, because it cost £150 to fix my one, or £180 for a pre-owned one with one controller and a game.

Ok, I ordered DJ Hero, 6th November. The date today as I am writing this is, 19th November. The game arrived today, which sparked me to enlighten u with these stories. Here are a few photo's of the beautiful edition I purchased, it was £40 more than the original, but I got that amazing case and much slicker looking deck.



Anyways I waited 2 weeks for my game and it never came so I rung up game. They told me due to the release of CoD:MW2 my game wasn't shipped. So this Tuesday I rung them, and they sed we will ship it. And it arrived today! Pretty pissed, but loving the game.

Whilst waiting for my game I have been watching videos online of the game, and found out u can play Guitar and DJ at the same time so I had to purchase a guitar!! Now here's the story of how Game F-edML.

I pick up Nixon from uni, head to Brent x. I ask for Guitar Hero 5, with Guitar! It took the guy almost 30 mins to find out they had sold out, then I was going to settle for the pre-owned version. So I brought it for £40, I walk to HMV and find it brand new on sale for £33!! Guitar Hero World Tour, so I buy that and refund my pre-owned one and exchange it for Guitar Hero 5 software. Then walking around Brent X some more, I see the game for £30 in Curry's!! Should I return it!! Ahh fuck it man, I can't be bothered all for £3! My life got fucked soo hard these few weeks, but now I am playing DJ Hero on my partially new PS3, and I am enjoying CoD.

Other than that my life's been pretty boring, here is a photo of what my sister copped for me whilst on holiday in Amsterdam, she saw it and thought of me!!
Also Tina copped a bottle of Voss water for me, not knowing I've got a few bottle of it at home. Thank you tho, such an amazing bottle and over priced water haha. But that's what I love about these companies, taking shit for free and charging people like us money for it!!



Alrite, it's been 6 months since I've graduated and I've barely lifted a finger to look for a job, I think I'm going to start so could graduates please email me their CV's so I can use them as templates for a CV as I have no frigging idea how to write one. Unless any marketing company happens to stumble upon my page and wants to hire me, drop me an email, I.am@DanielKhor.com . Actually if your reading this then technically your @Danielkhor.com haha.

Tweet Tweet Mother Fuckers, you'll need to RT this for me!!

@DanielKhor

Peace out until next time!!

Oh here are some bonus pictures of my New Blacked out Metallic BOLD..!!!!



The pictures don't do it any justice at all... The back is all metallic and the keypad is metallic blue as well...

Anyways I need to go work Safe..!!

Untitled..!?!

A lot of fans have been emailing me asking if the blog has stopped and where are my new cops.. Well when I saw this I had to buy it..!!



It’s beautiful haha… Louis vuitton Monogram Macassar Keepall 45..

I’ve spent a good few weeks saving up for this and finally it’s paid off. It’s probably my favourite Louis vuitton bag I have in my collection at the moment but fingers crossed I can soon afford trunks which will boost my Louis collection.
Anyways it took me 3 weeks of thinking before I went out and purchased this little critter..!!



Those close to me know I’ve begun a weird habit of drinking tea, I’ve always loved Chinese tea but now I’ve grown an appreciation of English tea. So I had to buy this useless toy which stays in it’s packaging and watches over me. The shit we buy that we don’t need yet we still want it.
Man my spending habits have to stop I’ve wasted too much money on useless things and it’s about time I make a move with my life and try to look for a job.
Trainer news has been on an all time low… Last year around October amazing releases, but this year Nike have been quiet and released some pretty disappointing stuff… I’ve started to move away from Trainers specially the colourful and crazy ones. I’m growing up and I should start dressing like a mature adult instead of a rebelling teenager who loves to seek attention. My image has given me some good times, some bad times and even gay times haha…

Recently I was walking around in central London as I do, on my day off work. I was stopped by a guy in Soho. “Excuse Me, where did you get that top? I love it!” Being the beast I am I gave the usual hypebeast response. “I got it from America.” (I’m guessing if you’re actually in America you would say Japan?) Then I walked off. I thought afterwards was that a compliment that a gay guy from Soho liked the shit I was wearing or isit an insult? We all have that stereotype that Gay’s have good sense of style, and immaculate taste in clothing. I don’t actually have any gay friends so I don’t really accept that stereotype, I just love beautiful things. (Note* That said beautiful things not just expensive things)

I think I should give you all some blackberry updates as it seems more people have a blackberry than any other phone. It’s become the 5110 (Nokia) of this generation. If you don’t know what I am talking about I think your either too old so stop reading my blog, or your too young which means your not over 18 so should not be reading this blog as well. (Fucking Kids, go outside kick a ball. Ride a bike. Learn how to survive [Not only on games])
Blackberry Bold 2 9700 (Onyx) is coming out in a few weeks… I was pumped and was looking forward to updating my phone because I have to be up to date with this shit… you guys read this blog because I am up to date haha… But it seems like it just isn’t worth it, so instead I ordered new parts for my phone and updated the operating system to the BETA 5.0. It’s soo amazing and I recommend anyone who has a blackberry and doesn’t mind a few bugs to download it. (or just wait like everyone else) It increases the speed of the phone by at least 2x, but I’ve found out this OS drains your battery quite a bit.

Also all you out dated internet freaks get your ass following me on twitter… That’s one of the main reasons I’ve not updated this blog as much as Twitter has been my channel of news. I’ve been posting up some pretty interesting stuff as well as boring stuff, but if you love my stuff or my quotes then I’m the one to follow.

Well apart from that my life has been pretty much the same.. Jamming, shopping, working and networking. So nothing to report back to you. Also Pro Evo 10 makes fun of Fifa, just play Pro Evo stop switching to the dark side..

Let me leave you with an advert which was banned in 2001. I personally don’t think it should have been banned but I have no power to stop it and you know what that’s the power of advertising.!! But if you ban stuff now a days it becomes good publicity and makes good viral haha. Spread the word..!! Check it..!!

Brand, Brands Are Unbranded...!?!

Well you all should know me quite well by now, I enjoy analysing people and remember what they wear and stuff.. I’m quick to remember people by things they wear and it doesn’t mean it has to be branded items.
I’ve noticed a lot of people enjoy wearing stuff with brand names printed straight over them. You can call me a hypocrite since I’m covered in brands but it’s not the brand name I am actually covering myself in. I admire design and the actual branding, the brand identity. How we as consumers see the brand and the status and reputation that brand reflects upon the user/wearer.
Why isit people associate themselves with a brand?
It’s because people want to be seen as part of that collective who are users of that brand.
There are early adopters of brands, the people who just jump on because it’s part of a trend and then those who are late. The late ones get the cheapest price, but miss out on all the hype haha… But they usually get the final/best stuff because the early adopters have given feedback and it’s been improved in various ways.
As a marketing graduate I have a different perspective on brands, as I’m theoretically suppose to help increase brand awareness and brand loyalty. Therefore selling a brand haha. Shit you see in supermarkets labelled CEREAL or BEER or any other economy item, they are probably the same as the higher more expensive foods we pay for. We pay for the marketing, the advertising and the packaging. But isit all worth it? Doesn’t it all end up in the same place? A bag from Louis Vuitton is essentially a bag, using one of them BAG For LIFE from M&S is probably better, but we enjoy the other shit that comes with the Designer handbag.
Recognition..!!
RECOGNIZE bitches, Welcome to the age of the disposables..!! We buy and replace shit all the time, we are all consumers we have fallen into that media trap.. Stop trying to fit in and lets be individuals man, we should stop being tools to these companies hahaha…

Specially all them BAPE heads covering themselves head to toe in that shit man… Yes I’m a hater too, not really hating just feel sorry for u, spending all that money
