Contest: PUMA Suede: 45 Years Fresh #ForTheStreet



The evolution of PUMA suede - from a pair of running shoes, to basketball shoes, and now a true street icon for 45 years. In 2013, Future Suede, its lite little brother is born.


Being a PUMA fan myself, I just can't wait to get a pair for myself!

The Future Suede retains the signature 1968 profile of the Classic Suede. It's light on weight, light on suede, and has some serious futuristic tweaks: a lightweight bottom, painted midsole, and neoprene tongue. Not only that, it's also decked out with PUMA Trinomic hexagons, heel clips, and eyelets. A varnished tonal nylon and synthetic suede Formstrip for an all-over ultramodern aesthetic. Heavy on heritage but easy on the ounces, comes at the right time when crowd surfing and club hopping requires the most minimal of baggage to be able to move at the speed of light.

This Spring-Summer 2013, PUMA marks The Suede's 45th year of changing the game and the release od the soon-to-be-legend, the Future Suede, with a massive celebration through contest, events, exhibitions, TV, and digital activities across Asia-Pacific.


To kick off 'Evolution of the Suede', PUMA is inviting their fans from all around the world to be part of the contests.

One Fighting Championship - Return of the Warriors

Apology for going missing for 2 weeks. Been super busy with work and personal stuff. Barely had enough sleep. =__=

It was my first time watching live Mixed Martial Arts Tournament.






VIP Entrance ;)


The One FC Cage

Experience of watching Mixed Martial Art Tournament for the first time: Awesome! Never knew it would be so 'gan jeong' (exciting). And yes, it's so brutal at the same time. Especially the one between Peter Davis and Leo Krishna. Krishna's lips actually was torn (that's what I saw from the screen) and Davis's leg has a deep cut as well. The doctor has to call a stop to the fight because of the injury. Throughout the fights, I've hold my breath a lot as the fighters punched their way / used their best strategy to victory.

Anyway, below are the fights on that night and the winners. :) (The pictures are taken from One FC Return of Warriors photo gallery)
