THE REAL DEAL OF MAD MEN

randomly taking a few ( may be more ) shots of this New Straights Times newspaper back in 1957. as you all know ( sources from my twitter ), ayah came back home to KL fully loaded and he's ready to work back originally here. he came back with a gift of 7 nostalgic ye-olde' antique newspaper of NST that was printed back in year 07 for the 50 years anniversary of Malaysia. ayah kept it for 4 years and yet, the paper seems to be yellow. 4 years is good enough to call it antique right. going through pages through pages really embarks me, on how the community from the olden days live thru. this is definitely, the real Mad Men in times.

back then, titles means a lot. plus, the wording is just superb. headlines for any particular story is set told by just the big title. loving the second image, very much indeed.

looking back at this ( above and all ) really brings back memories, said ayah. from generation to generation, some things are meant to stay and some are meant to be left out. having a hard time putting this post. but manage to :) joy as i was reading this 50's newspaper. there were no models back then. everything was 100% hand made caricatures. i have finally experienced my very own Mad Men. wouldn't it be awesome to work in Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce ;) *giggles.

through sheer luck trying to take some good quality pictures without public notice, perhaps. aside from that, it's a million degrees high and i should really jump myself in a pool like a.s.a.p

laughters seems to be showing up in each and every shots we had taken with each others. just a simple heads up meeting with schoolmate besties, Nue and Hannah. gathered up for lunch and some easy breezy walk around the park. wearing hobo clothing really excites me. i don't fancy much on wearing really tight clothing unless i situated on wearing them. going to catch up on life right now. especially on studies. since we're all in a 2 week free-homework or i presume to say a short vacation, i really do need to open up some books and do some revision. i'm not going to lack off my time. time management is really important. and hopefully rewarding myself with a good grades in my coming big exam this final year with a good travel to South Korea (as i'm addicted to k-pop right now though). a few photos from us three with simple pleasures :D

End of today's post. with love x
