While at Bugis Junction this afternoon, we discovered that Graniph, a popular arty Japanese T-shirt store, had just opened today!
I got myself a Helvetica T-shirt. When I wear it (probably with jeans and sneakers), I will feel just like a designer again. This store’s like the Japanese version of Threadless.
Update: Strangeknight blogged about Graniph opening in Singapore, too.

Since I’m suffering from an ailment that begins with the letter ‘D’, resulting in frequent trips to the loo, I’m back at home. Anyway, it’s about time I updated this blog! Movie review: Brokeback Mountain Last week, I watched Brokeback Mountain with some friends. Interestingly it was an almost all-girl outing. I often wonder why…
I just watched Troy and I don’t quite know what to make of it. Admittedly some moments were poignant – like the courage of the King of Troy for visiting Achilles to reclaim his son Hector’s body (aka Eric Bana who came out pretty well – his brother Paris aka Orlando Bloom, was just sitting…
It’s nearly 3am and I’m still thinking about my French class. As [blogged previously](http://vantan.org/archives/2008/03/la_francaise.php), I meant to start at an easier level but due to a scheduling mistake by Alliance Francaise, I was put in a more difficult class than I wanted to be in.
Watching a new Superman movie after so many years brought back nostalgic memories. We girls had heard that this new Superman was suitably well-endowed … not with extra powers but, well, you know! Admittedly he had a slightly vacant look but I don’t blame him considering his endowment fund had been reportedly downsized! It’s like…
I finally watched The Matrix Reloaded yesterday night. Well I missed half of the first movie on the plane, so I didn’t expect to understand what was going on in the second movie. The fight scenes were extended; the plot was thin, yet complicated; and the scene with that architect / Colonel Sanders lookalike was…
I have a spare ticket (or two) for the Caltex Masters this Saturday. My dad and I are setting aside our Sunday afternoon and evening for it, but he’s busy tomorrow. I have a few things on as well, so I’m not sure if I can make it on Saturday. So I called up the…

hey, I was at the library today and then popped over to Bugis to meet a student of mine. I got a Helvetica tee too (anything to do with typefaces – I’m there), and a couple more (one with a unicorn on it!). Glad we have a branch here now.
Great minds think alike! Unfortunately I chickened out of buying a $35 t-shirt.
Oh but Helvetica is beautiful. That simplicity, those curves. Oh if only someone would bring the documentary over here!

I want these, but my wife will probably knock me on the head.
Lucian – LOL. If you can find a font with your wife or daughter’s name in it, it may help … e.g. “I love Luci(n)da” or “Georgia on my mind”.
Nice! Will check it out.
hello all,
if you’re crazy about Helvetica like me – and there’s
an army of us out there – go to my site and see what I came up
with on this momentous occasion. Helvetica is 50 Years Old.

I am an independent designer that occasionally
fund my own dream projects – you know –
the kind with no client telling you what to do.
sometimes it’s nice to be an artist.
anyway, these are LIMITED EDITION so order
while supplies last.
thanks all.
