Chadstone VIP event - UPDATE

Yes, the specials for Chadstone VIP/shopping event is up. It's nothing interesting but might be useful if you're waiting for that particular item that is never on sale.

No offers in the flyer on Apple Store. As you might know, a new and the first Apple Store in Melbourne was just opened in Chadstone last Saturday. However, CompNow (the other store that sells Apple stuff) is on the list offering $100 off any Mac purchase on the day (except for Mac Mini) and $30 off Guitar Hero for Mac, so that's $129.95.

One interesting offer is from Coles. I don't think that Coles has participated before but tomorrow, there will be a 5% discount on merchandise. Not sure whether there is any restrictions on the items.

Anyway, the offers are available here on a pdf format.

Enjoy.

Chadstone's Spring Event

Yes, Spring is here and it's time for another round of sales. It seems compulsory to have a sale on every season of the year. Thankfully, Australia (and some other parts of the world) only have 4 seasons. If we have 12 seasons, we'll have a sale every month.

Anyway, getting back to the 'event'. Chadstone will be having its usual VIP shopping event. This will happen next week on Wednesday, 17th of September. It will start from morning until night time (9 am to 10 pm) so plenty of time to shop. There will be the usual discounts (up to 50% off) and drinks to give away (after 5 pm), and some other things, such as

• runway shows, hosted by Alex Perry at 4 pm and 7 pm
• free workshop on "How To Look Good Dressed" at 11 am
• Christopher Chronis parade at 4pm

If you're heading from the city, there's a free bus that goes straight to Chadstone (stopping along the way of course). You will need to book it so that you will get a seat. You will need to call 1300 558 686 to book.

Up until today, there is no detail on the specials yet. Probably in a couple of days.

Kylie's Concert

Kylie's back. Yes, Australia's most beloved singer is back. She just announced her tour for Sydney and Melbourne in December. She initially only had one concert in each city but like we all know that's just tactics by the promoter.

Her first concert sold out in 2 minutes according to reports. Soon after the second show was announced and that too sold out within minutes. Apparently it set a new record in ticket selling history in Australia.

Now, the third show has just been announced and tickets start selling this morning (9 am) and last time I checked, there were still tickets available. So, if you haven't gotten your tickets yet, now might be the time. Go and check out Ticketek here.

Other than Kylie, there are also a lot more artist coming this way (Australia). To name a few:

• Alicia Keys
• Jordin Sparks
• Colbie Caillat
  
• MGMT
• Billy Joel
• Lady Gaga
• Simple Plan

Big Bang ?

Well, this is definitely one news that wasn't covered until it's way too late. Do you know that yesterday, a bunch of scientists turned on a machine that might cause Armageddon ? This caused a lot of stress to at least one Indian girl who committed suicide fearing the world would end yesterday.

I must say, her fear was not really baseless. The scientists are going to fire up a few particles and then smash them together. Hence, simulating the big bang theory of how the universe began. They are also trying to find out whether there exist a jesus particle, the particle that started them all. It's only a hypothesis now.

Some other scientists are thinking that this might create a black hole which in turn going to swallow all of earth's contents. So far, everything looks alright though (I mean, I'm still typing). However, report says that the scientists have yet to collide the particle. They are just firing up particles now.

The first time I heard about this was on last Sunday. I was reading the papers and there was this story. It is not front page material and it is considered less important than the pregnancy of the Vice President daughter (from McCain camp). So, maybe it is not that important after all.

The facility is located on Geneva, Switzerland
