Currently watching "Coldplay - live at the BBC"
And words can’t describe how much I love them. No other artist can evoke so much emotion and meaning in me, like Coldplay can. The songs in their new album Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, is just amazing.
My favourite performance from the concert has to be the acoustic rendition of Yellow.
You know, tickets to their Perth concert next year during their Australian tour...

I did a liveblog when Devin, Natalie, Michelle, Tahlia, Amy, Georgie and I went out to Carousel today. You can have a look at all the pictures I took on my Through His Eyes site.
Interesting things to note:
Georgie screemed “Run Bitch!” when we got stuck in the middle of a busy road
The Boost Juice in Carousel sucks
I had diahorea straight after dinner
Strange (but funny) things...

Fly to London for cheap!
Air Asia X - The budget carrier from Malaysia, has launched flights from Perth to London via Kuala Lumpur for just AUD$900! That’s single trip plus taxes and other surcharges. Not a bad deal at all.
Obviously, being a budget carrier, there’s a catch. From Perth (T1), you’ll land at Kuala Lumpur (LCCT) and transfer to another flight before taking to the skies again to London...

This is probably the greatest thing to happen to Indonesia since that tsunami. Now if the rest of the world can do this, and successfully ostracise the people of AIDS, well then. Oh happy days.
Also, won’t it be great if you’re about to fuck someone and this loud beeping noise starts ringing and a SWAT team swoops down, just as you’re about to slip it in and they wrench you off the back of your...

Arghhh.
phlogiston:
My internet has gone kapult. It took 20mins for a 2 minute YouTube clip to load. So not cool.
Throttled internet is so yesterday. It’s about time the Australian Government invest in a high speed broadband infrastructure.

Whut??
It’s a drink with little brown jellies in it, and when you’ve drunk all of the liquid out of the can, the jelly remains stuck at the bottom and they would never come out. And that really sucks cause the jellies are the best bits! Right, Tauf?
Yes they are. I miss grass jelly drinks. Can’t wait to have them in Singapore in about 39 days!

And what a way to end it too… 15 hours of exams spread across two weeks.

Cameron Adams has made a drum machine made entirely out of JavaScript. Words to describe this completely escape me. And as is usually the case with these things, I’m about lose most of my day futzing with this.
