SLR phase

Tired to the bone. Literally. My knees are aching from some dodgy game play with squash and training. Solution involves rest and more rest, but taking into account that I've been up for that last 38 hours with only an hours worth of shut eye, I'm not getting enough.

But...

With my loverly brother's SLR camera (lent for a few months hehee), my first shot! >,<

Jazz fever

I was lucky enough to notice a poster for a one-night only show featuring Richard Bona and his group, presenting their latest Ten Shades of the Blues album. It was a must see, and frankly, it was an awesome performance, and surprisingly enough, the support act was absolutely amazing. They simply swept me off my feet. They were, Alex and Nilusha! Highly recommended and I'm definitely going to be following them since they are Melbourne based.



Nonetheless, the performance was at the Elisabeth Murdoch Hall at the Melbourne Recital Centre and it was boasting quite a beautiful interior and the music was so crisp. Didn't hang around for the signing of CDs, but I'm regretting not buying their album. JB Hifi don't have it yet >.<

Capital Kitchen serves poor coffee

Capital Kitchen @Chadstone

Simply put:
  • Coffee - burnt and bad. No sense of presentation or quality
  • Atmosphere - nice decor and lively seating
  • Staff - dull as ever, obviously bleeding into the quality of service. Went on a Sunday, and I guess staff don't really want to be there
Rating: 2/5





HuTong, Prahran - missing something?

They do not serve congee on their Yum Cha menu!!!

... but I really don't care because I don't eat congee. But the food is nonetheless overpriced and not worth your time, and their service is rude and judgmental. Try their CBD branch, is much better and made of win.

News

oh btw, I've got a new job, moved into a new place and am single >.< Hates the last part

Android-i-ness

I'm wondering what I can do with my android phone and the possibility of developing something vaguely interesting, with my limited programming knowledge. I've installed the SDK and pluggins and all the usual starting points, and even tried teh 'hello world' tut, and its looking good. But what the hell am I going to build???

Rather stupidly, I used to bag on about how silly the 'hello world' process is, but strangely enough, it was very usual in getting my into doing something that could've possible deterred me from the entire process. Its a simple method of giving people the opportunity to try something out. Strange how a little thing like 'hello world' can change a persons opinion about something.

Anyways, got plans, FOR NOTHING, to build on. I was thinking of a torrent management app but thats already there for people to download. Building a customised train travel app is totally unoriginal, but the only app available for android 1.6 is somewhat, limiting. But I need a dream. My dream. Silly me.

So, hopefully this little endeavor keeps this blog a little active :)

GAH... Need more... POSTS!!!!

Haven't posted here in months. Wondering if this is even worth the process... hmmmm... do I want random ppl to read my thoughts?

Watched Piranhas 3D. Bad plot, excessive nudity and gore and big budget. Let the good times roll T_T
