RIP Daul Kim
2009-11-20 11:07PM / 標準BLOG
The following article is from Goldsea. Model Daul Kim was found dead yesterday in her Paris apartment...A 20-year-old top South Korean model who was a fashion week regular in New York, Milan and Paris has been found hung in her Paris apartment, a police official said Friday.
Daul Kim was found dead Thursday by her boyfriend, who alerted French police, the official said. He declined to be named in accordance with policy.
Paris police were working under the hypothesis that Kim committed suicide, he said.
Kim’s agent, Alessandra Bertoldini of the Next modeling agency, said the model’s mother was arriving in Paris later Friday. She declined to elaborate.
Raised in Seoul and Singapore, Kim modeled in Asia before making her fashion week debut in Paris in 2007, modeling for top brands like Chanel, Dries van Noten and Maison Martin Margiela, among others, her Seoul agency, Esteem, said. She most recently appeared during Seoul fashion week in October.
Known for her thick mane of hair — sometimes dyed blond — and her quirky sensibility, the 5-foot-10 (178-centimeter) model was celebrated for her sense of style. She was featured recently in a commercial for designer Christopher Kane’s line of clothing for British retailer Topshop.
Kim also was an accomplished painter and video filmmaker who had a solo show of her artwork in Seoul.
Bloggers in South Korea mourned her death, speculating she felt the pressure of high-fashion modeling and a loss of identity.
In an Oct. 30 entry on her blog, Kim wrote she was “mad depressed and overworked,” and in another entry said “the more i gain the more lonely it is … i know i’m like a ghost.”
The last entry on her blog, dated Nov. 18, was titled “say hi to forever” and carried a video of the song “I Go Deep” by British singer Jim Rivers.
South Korea — which has the highest suicide rate among the 30 nations in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development — has had a string of high-profile suicides over the past year.
Former President Roh Moo-hyun jumped to his death in May while embroiled in a widening corruption scandal and the ex-chairman of South Korea’s oldest conglomerate killed himself earlier this month. In 2008, top actress Choi Jin-sil committed suicide, following in the footsteps of a fellow actor. A young actress in one of South Korea’s popular soap operas also died by suicide.
Rest In peace to all the talented, successful but depressed people out there. Is it really so hard to not let it get to you? =(

One New Change
2009-11-17 9:45PM / 標準BLOG
Awwo!
I'm very excited about One New Change, a new retail complex right next to St Paul's Cathedral, due to open October 2010! I currently work off High Holborn, there is literally no decent shopping areas here. There are a million diamond jewelery shops on Hattton Garden, Leather Lane market and High Holborn, which boasts a NEXT, Monsoon, Marks & Spencer Food Hall and Argos from what I recall! Otherwise, I have to trek to the West End for Oxford Street, Covent Garden etc, which is a bit crappy for me as I'm very CBA after work. There's going to be around 70 retail units there, enough to keep me busy after work I guess?
Here is the artist's impression of One New Change. It will complement nearby St Paul's Cathedral and even have a roof terrace where you can enjoy views of the historic landmark.
This is what the site looks like as of April 09! I go past the site every day and can see the ground floor windows are up now.
Another reason to be happy is my little Amykins will be starting her new job soon near to me! She will become a professional penis-handler at Bart's Hospital as of 7th December, woohoo, good times! Going to Belgos then seeing the screening of the first 2 episodes of 'The Prisoner' tonight.
Hmm, it looks kinda boring..eek. Tomolo, about 10 of us are going to see JUMP again, yay, can't wait! Thursday will be 'Climbing Thursday' as Amy puts it
.
Aww, Mariah Carey is switching on the Christmas lights at Westfield on Thursday!!! And I can't go cos I'm climbing!!! *cries*
Ciao poopies xXx.

Aww, a primary school friend who I met at our re-union has put up some pics on Facebook from a Christmas nativity play we were all in. So cute! My parents never attended any events nor took many pics of me during school days so it's nice to know they exist! I'm standing up at the back fourth from left; it's obvious which one is me as I'm the only yellow there! I was very quiet and shy at school, I never spoke or anything, painfully shy...
Last night I went to watch Law Abiding Citizen again! This time with Picasso and Cha Siu, not my sisters. We discovered an 'authentic' Szechuan restaurant called 川妹子 in Greenwich. I don't know what the English name was, but the food was spicy, bluddy hell! We will defo go back again. What we ate;
Sea spiced aubergines - nom nom nom!
Oh man, I don't remember name for this, lak zi gai..?
Ma Por Tofu!
Preserved Ducks Egg, my fave!!
This weren't so good, I don't even know what it is but tastes like yellow bean sauce and beef. Everything was really oily and I could feel it seep from my pores afterwards, gross. But yeah, will still go back lol.
Ooh, rock-climbing tonight, yay! xXx
