A mag junkie...

Trust me when I say that I'm a totally fanatic mag junkie... cause I nearly collect all of the mags which comes out in your average month... (That is mag pertaining to men of cause... no, I don't read Cleo or Female and that sort of genre cause I'm straight)... So here's a lil introduction of the mags which I collect and why do I like the particular magazine which makes me wanna mag-shop...

For Him Magazine - FHM (Man's Mag)



And as the saying goes, "Men will always be men no matter how you look at it". Well, at least most of the male I know reads this mag... aside from the bar room jokes and also the true stories column... why would man wanna read a man magazine? To drool over the girls featured of course... Well, but that's not all it... at times also it's because of the fashion and also featured articles which we're interested in but as for me, I would most definitely give my 2 thumbs up for their jantan test. Cons? Well, I don't like FHM for only one thing... there's not enough local flavours in it...

Newman (Man's Mag)



I gotta say this but it's one of the best man's mag I ever read in my life... like it's content and layout... and why? Haha, maybe cause of it's shoots of the gurls which are more *ahem <---- Think you get my point here... compared to FHM. I'm still buying FHM today basically it's because it's the first man magazine that I ever own. Well, if you followed Newman's progress from the first copy itself... I would say it has proven itself as an outstanding magazine basically because it has undergone a very dramatic change compared to the olden days of it. I find that the column's featured are mich more applicable to our daily man's living... call me Neanderthal if you want to... Of the column's which I like best would be work/ money manual, coupling/ parenting manual,sex factor manual (Think this is the best column of all in the mag... call me a pervert once again if you want to), fashion, gadgets, and motoring... it basically cover's nearly every aspect of a man's life...

Plan B (Man's Mag)



Compared to FHM and Newman, I find Plan B somewhat different... It has less pictures in it and more writing and at first read you'll find it more of a sophisticated read which makes it much of an appeal for reading... Other than that I can't comment much as I have yet found the latest edition of it... Two things for sure, maybe it's either concentrated in the Klang Valley only or maybe worse... the company has already bankrupted... Anyway, it's one of the read which you should take note if you have a chance...

KLUE (Locality Mag)



And why did I define KLue as a locality mag? Well, it's because KLue is much more centred on the events which is held in the Klang Valley... not only that, the reason for me liking KLue it's because it has a far much superior photography portrays compared to any other mags on the market... aside from it, it also featured a lot of good stuff such as makan spots and also on local celebs... But what is most important is that this is the only local magazine which I have
much respect for as it has the nerve to feature the local art scenes such as music, movie, art... (you name it and I'm pretty sure they portrayed it... ) to put it on a higher level... Fashions featured by KLue is also of a more trendy kind compared to FHM and also Newman...

Shift (Automobile)



Here's a new edition to my monthly mag purchase... although shift is written in Malay... but I have opted to purchase it monthly due to the fact of it's superior product review and also technical column regarding a car's technical compartment.... apart from that, car's which are featured on shift also has it's modification listed, excellent for automotive modification enthusiast to pick up a point or two pertaining to automobile modification... Apart from that, ladies which are featured in this local car mag is also excellent least not must I say compared to Autoparts... =p

Autoparts, Malaysia (Automotive)



Another magazine about automobile modification... compared to Shift, Autopart if written in English and it's rather funky in the sense that it's not that too rigid in writing compared to Shift... (maybe it's because of it's line-up crew which consist of teenagers...) Compared to Shift, Autoparts features of local events such as X-tune and the coverage of it's contest is one which I really have my respect for... (Hey, if we don't support our local events... who will right?) Autopart has also product review, featured car's modification list and on top of that there's also a technical column for professional driving such as drifting for dummies which makes it better if compared with Shift... Haha, and you know what's the best part of all? It also provides contact for the featured covergurls for you gatal (itchy) fellas out there...

Well, guess this is the final entry... hope to keep you updated during CNY and if not I'll see you after that... Just do come back for more updates on my blog... CHEERIOS~~~~

P.S.: There goes all my money on magazine alone... T~T SIGH!!!!!!!
