End of February 2007
Yup, last day of February. Let's see what is going on in this last day of the month before going onto a new month tomorrow
Jesus' grave found...along with wife, child
Yes, it's for real, not another book by Dan Brown. This time, James Cameron is involved. The whole family graveyard of Jesus, Maria (2 Marias), and Judah (acclaim to be the son of Jesus) was found in Jerusalem. This is a part of a documentary to be screened soon. Everybody is taking sides, is it for real or is it for ratings ? Anyway, just decide for yourself, the DNA test should be coming.
Parking inspectors get new uniforms
Yes, that's right. City of Melbourne is changing the look of their parking inspectors. They don't want their parking inspectors to look like the police wearing a blue uniform, instead they want them to look more like boy scouts or a ranger. Nice. I think every parking inspectors need to get 10 issued fines to get the new uniform. If they want the sweater, they must issue another 5 fines and so on.

Petrol is going up up and away
It's rumoured that petrol will stay around $1.25 a litre after spending quite some time at $1.09. It's time to take out your bicycle again guys.
Skeleton mania in Australia
It seems that everywhere in Australia, they've just found a skeleton of human remains. One in Windsor station (near South Yarra), another one in Northern Australia. Maybe you'll find one in your backyard as well.
A boy age 8, weigh 88 kg is found
And I thought I was fat. Man, something seriously need to be done to combat these problems. Maybe Americans should start eating rice. And for you people that are wandering, they don't have Chinese parents and the number 8 is just coincidental.
Yeah, I think that's enough news for today. We'll anticipate the coming of tomorrow, a new day, a new month.

Bye Hard Rock Cafe!!
Hard Rock Cafe in Melbourne will close down in July when their lease with Windsor Hotel ends. But it is not goodbye forever as they might plan to relocate somewhere else (Fiuh, I can still eat those delicious ribs).
The current space will be incorporated into Windsor Hotel. The hotel is planning a major refurbishment. Windsor was recently changed owner and I believe, one of the co-owner is Indonesian.

Nice quote
I found this quote in my Church Weekly Bulletin, it is definitely interesting. Made me think for a while. It is true, do you agree ?
Aren't we strange - we pray for a long life but fear old age

Spice Girls is BACK!!!
How exciting, the Spice Girls is apparently going to team up together again for a charity concert. They had similar ideas in the past but nothing happened. But this one seems to be for real. I heard that they want to get the royalty from the TV station that will air the concert, maybe everybody ran out of money (well maybe not for Posh Spice) ?If you don't know Spice Girls, they're an all-girl group. They were big in 1997 with their zig-a-zig-ah from their Wannabe hit. They promoted "Girl Power", went on and make a ridiculous movie, Spiceworld. I can't remember when they split up but it was Geri H. who first left the group. Another album after that, they all went their separate ways. Everybody tried a solo career after that but only a few survived. I guess 5 is still better than 1.
Spice Girls consists of Baby Spice (Emma B.), Scary Spice (Mel B.), Sporty Spice (Mel C.), Posh Spice (Victoria B.), and I forgot the one for Geri, I think it was Ginger Spice :)

Shuffle those colours
If you don't know, a couple of weeks ago Apple launched more colours for their iPod Shuffle range. It's still the same price but you get the newer headphones. Check out Apple Store or retails locations.

Evanescence ROCKS!!!
Evanescence is currently touring Australia. They had their concert in Melbourne last weekend (Sat and Sun). I was lucky enough to be able to go for the Sunday concert. The Saturday one was sold out. The only reason that I went to their concert because my partner loves them. But it turned out to be a good concert.
I arrived around 7.30pm and the ticket says that it's going to start at 8pm. I went and find a park at Alessandra Ave. I thought it will be packed but it's not hard to find a carpark. In fact, there were plenty. Apparently most of them parked near Vodafone Arena or dropped off by their parents/friends.
I reached Vodafone Arena around quarter to 8 and there are a couple of security checks, as usual. As I had a General Admission ticket, I had to get myself banded. After that, I was surprised that there were a lot of people in the foyer just lingering around even though I heard some noise from inside the stadium. I just went inside, and it was dark. They have covered both the seats on the sides so the only seating was straight in front of the stage and that's it.
I went inside to the arena and was quite excited cause it was only half full, cause that means better view. The opening band was already playing when I came in. They were called Shade or Shihad or something like that. They're not bad. A curtain (Collingwood style - Black and White) was blocking the entire view. They played on until 8.45pm.
At 9pm, I thought that Evanescence will start but nothing. There was only a guy standing on stage doing mike checks, "Mike check, one, two", he said that like 10 times.
9.15, everything went dark, curtain pulled to the side and the show started. I can't remember what song they started. As I said, I came to the concert cause of my wife so I don't really have time to listen to their stuff. Anyhow, I think it was Sweet Sacrifice which I think will be their next single after Lithium and Call Me When You're Sober.
The band was wearing all black, except Amy Lee which also wore a Scandinavian type skirt. The band's logo was highlighted on the background. The drummer has 2 sets of drum, which I think incorporates the digital one as well.
There were 2 guitarist and a bassist.
After they started then it was NON STOP ROCK. All I can say is Amy Lee, the singer, is truly a talented person. She's got an amazing voice. She did all the numbers flawless and she actually drank less water than everybody in the band. Amazing. Her voice quality did not even go down after a few "screaming" songs.
After a few songs, Amy Lee took the stage by herself and a grand piano. There was some "snow drops" during the songs.
All and all, it was about one and a half hour of good ROCK. They played songs from the new album, and a couple of songs from their previous album, Fallen, the album that launched them internationally.
In the end, the band gave out a few "merchandise". Amy Lee threw out some water bottles (Mt Franklin, I think), the guitarist threw a couple of picks, and the drummer threw his sticks.
It was really interesting to see how many people are so interested with the water bottles.
I've got some photos (blurry ones) from the concert at my flickr. It was only from my camera phone so nothing special.
Finished about 10.30pm and I've got to say their songs are not bad at all. I'm listening to them now so I suggest you do the same. The new album is The Open Door and the band is EVANESCENCE.
