Imagine this.

You have a band, and you’re always playing Dave Matthews Band songs for the last few years back. Then you finally got your chance too see them…playing live!

That’s what happened to me. Lucky me that the tour was postponed for like 3 weeks, a friend of mine did not go to the concert, because he simply couldn’t. So, he sold 2 tickets to us, for like…75% off, “it’s for your wedding present”. Swweeeeetttt!!!

Alonso, Schumacher, Button are in Melbourne!! F1 is heating up along this week. We even can hear them testing their “jet” from the apartment. It all comes up today! The feature race…expect to hear loud noises. This post is updated. Congratuliations to Kimi and Ferrari…who won the race today. but i like Massa more…he cut through the circuit like a hot knife through a butter. 16 cars?? and 1 pitstop?? Woww!!

Last, just around the corner of the circuit, a band named ‘TETUWIRS’ came on stage. Playing ’semi-unpluggled’ ngamen style at the ‘Alun-Alun’, Consulate General of Indonesia. Audie (vocal), Mira (titi kamal/voval)), Wowo (lead guitar), Andira (rhythm guitar), Vesa (bass), Miki (percussion), and Theo (’kecrekers’). haha. They were playing old school songs, just like the name of the band ‘tetuwirs’. Andai (Gigi), Judul-judulan (PMR), Bukalah Kacamatamu (Rano Karno), Anjingku Melolong (Padhyangan Project), Terserah Kamu (Humania), Bebas (Iwa K), and last but not least…Jablai (Titi Kamal) and Kopi Dangdut.

Pie Rendang, Empek2, Batagor, Jagung rebus, sama yang paling penting, Teh Kotak juga ada.

Tetuwirs to be continued?

Yesterday i was showing deasy the street behind our apartment, called elizabeth street. It’s not as famous as famous as Swanston, but the thing is i want to show her the way to Victoria Market. A place where you can buy fresh meat, fish, vegetables, pork (yummy..haha…kidding), and everything else. It is already closed when we got there.

There were music behind Victoria Market. Infact there was this “pasar malam”/night market there. Suzuki Night Market to be exact. There were live music, foods, and bazaar. Lots of unique stuffs. Ones which caught our attention were baby clothings, t-shirts, REFLEXOLOGY! (but i won’t pay 30$ for only 20 minutes), customised paintings (like my canvaganza, just like it, but they are hand painted), and plakat/signage (ol skool to nu skool, cocacola, beers, cars, movies, etc…for $30 each). We were both lucky and unlucky that we didnt have any money….haha. Visit Queen Victoria Market/VicMart
