Have you ever spotted Mr. Frazer in his bright red and white polka-dotted top in the hallways and thought to yourself, “Oh wow, Mr. Frazer has outdone himself once again.” or “Why are his outfits so striking?” Well, his response to you would be - “life is a catwalk.”
Mr. Frazer’s fashion choices are based on two simple rules:-
When wearing a patterned item of clothing, always pair it with block colours.
Patterned on patterned is VERY dangerous. Do not try it unless you’re Mr. Frazer or when like him, your laundry isn't finished.
However, Mr. Frazer doesn't just rely on his own unique fashionable instincts to come up with his next outfit; he often looks to his fashion inspiration, Coco Chanel. “Fashion-trends come and go, but Coco Chanel managed to find the classic in everything,” stated Mr. Frazer.
Mr. Frazer also mentioned that he has not only a great taste in fashion but in music as well. His favourite genres are classical, soul, blues and jazz. As a university student, Mr. Frazer didn't have much money therefore he got a job working at BBC’s music library where he would search through their selection of records to find the songs that the DJs wanted mainly because the job hours were late at night after he had been done with his classes. “It was there that I was taught that you don’t have to listen to only music that other people like,” Mr. Frazer told us.
When questioned on his love for history, Mr. Frazer told us that he has always enjoyed seeing inside people’s minds which is why he studied Archaeology in university before furthering his studies with a master’s degree in Philosophy.
If he were to have a historical party and could only invite three guests, he would invite both Richard Burtons and Tycho Brahe.
Green-loving Mr. Frazer describes Malaysia as a “melting pot of different cultures.” He also sees Malaysia as a country with a lot of potential to become a regional leader as it has a good location and a very progressive society. He also mentioned that he is glad that Malaysia is “a country that still has Starbucks.”
As you can tell, Mr. Frazer is one interesting man with a lot of history which is why we are so fascinated by him and his ways.
“Without darkness, you can’t see the light.”
