We, the Accidental Patriots, invite those we generally like to leave their favourite footprints on the reclaimed land of this sunny island. Regardless of taxi, MRT or cab, we unite in our moving conviction to drive the economy, based on some very bad clues, so as to achieve weed, young boys and everyone’s undying respect.

This was right at the beginning. Very cool, with the numbers flashing on the screen and Chris Martin appearing at the back of the stage. Yeah - that tiny little head and arm holding the mike that you see under the first number 3? That's my, our, Gwyneth's Chris.

He can sing lying down! And here you can see that the rip in his shirt near the shoulder was there right from the beginning of the show.

Taken right before they left the stage for good. Chris's hand is very dubiously placed.

Mean postcard idea: "This is all YOU get to see!" written on the balloon and sent to people who didn't manage to go for the concert. And whom you'd like to piss off majorly.

Less-mean postcard idea: "Wish you were there!" Down the side of this photo.

You can safely assume that all the unidentifiable blurred guitar/mike-holding objects are Chris Martin. He moves a lot and very fast and his energy and unselfconsciousness are amazing. This shot is cool enough (post-lots-of-editing) to be a postcard for the tour, don't you think? Would be better if Chris were a little less unidentifiable though.

See! He's looking at me!The concert was abso-fucking-lutely amazing.I nearly cried when he started singing "Fix You" right at the end; I'd been waiting for that song all night and at first they said goodbye and walked off without Fixing Me and I was momentarily disappointed but then I knew that they'd come back and sing it just for me. After a few minutes of yelling for them to come back they

I have just DIYed a pair of jeans! I had these 4-year-old Abercrombies that fit real nice but like all American jeans had a far-too-long inseam which wasn't as intolerably long as the inseams of, say, Sevens or Earnest Sewns and therefore I was too lazy to get them altered. For that matter I also have A|X and Levi's which I've been too lazy to get altered, which I will give for alteration

German parking garage. How super-efficient is that? Apparently it takes up only 20% of the space that a traditional carpark with the same number of cars would take up. And it's less expensive to build, and everything is mechanical so you don't really need attendants and cars get retrieved really fast. Coolbeeeeeeeeans.Paper soap by cheeky chimp.

I just emptied my bags and one of the various things that came out was the programme booklet for Shifting Gears. I just finished reading it properly, and I have been hit by the strangest, strangest wave of enormous nostalgia. It's kind of... inexplicable. I'm going to take my freshly-filled-with-workout-playlist ipod and proceed to the gym. Angst and ennui. I need to go shopping.

I am tremendously upset. My favourite Cookie Monster Junkfood tee has a huge green stain on it. It's like the entire fabric has changed colour or something and it's so ugly. Ok truthfully I hadn't worn the teeshirt in a while and I wasn't really planning to wear it, but I saw the stain when I was looking for something else in my mess of a wardrobe, and I was very upset.

This is a fascinating article, but not something I'd show to my parents until they pay the first year's tuition fees (and even then, maybe not.)

when was the last time i finished an entire book in one day? today was: waking at eleven, dropping all going-out plans, just lying in bed the whole day listening to the rain and finishing How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild And Got A Life (really really hilarious book, everyone who's ever applied to university in the US, especially if they're indian, has to read this), receiving unexpected $$$

I think, if I were one of Heather Armstrong's crazy fangirls, I would totally buy this t-shirt and send it to Leta. However, I'm not a crazy fangirl, am I? Noooo, I'm only the girl who's planning an eventual road-trip to Utah.I am also liking the 99 Luftballoons tee, but it's this same icky pale blue that I already have Spaghetti Western in, and frankly the colour looks quite horrible on me.

Danish label Noir wants to "be the brand that turned social responsibility sexy". Intriguing? Check it out here. They're also combining elements of helmut-newtonesque female objectification and S&M with the whole agenda of social responsibility, which is pretty fascinating.so today's day 1 of my Legal, Paid Leave. slept in, had lunch, watched russian dolls with nasty. really good movie, and now i

i have a large grey's-anatomy-sized hole in my life, because i have finished the season 1 DVDs and I've downloaded and watched all of season 2 that's aired in the US so far. The only thing that is keeping me alive is the fact that another episode will air in the US sunday night ie tonight but it's not tonight yet in the US obviously. anyway i will hopefully have my grey's anatomy fix again in a

hello! my week has been utterly boring aside from friday. all the rest of the days have involved moping for various reasons and room-cleaning. tomorrow my parents come back! now that they're coming back i sort of wish i could have my complete freedom a little longer. waking up at 1130, watching tv all day long, procrastinating my university applications -- just a few of the things my mother will

i like this picture. indochine seems like such a deeply purple place when the lights are out. it's sort of hideously colourful when there are lights, such as when the flash is on, like in the previous photos.

there is something tremendously sexy about this picture. i'm a huge fan of Very Toned Arms. and that falling-off strap doesn't hurt. jessica alba's makeup is too pink. latina needs warm tones.

i don't usually like fan-art and the "Always Be Right There" is so cheap but i like these pictures. it's no longer spoilery to grace my blog with some of the sweetest Lost moments, yay. i will search for good pictures of the Steamy Kiss later on.

wow it's been ages since i've blogged. let's just do this chronologically, or mostly chronologically given my chronic propensity to digress. chronic, chronological. that's kinda funny. ignore! ignore!on saturday my dad left for india. i don't think i did anything useful -or- interesting. i think i cleared a couple of piles of rubbish off my floor and dumped the rest in the other room. watched a

Whatever happened to the teen who was "Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman"? With the couple still measuring their wedded bliss in hours instead of

latest OC ep -- BEST EVER. it made me totally warm and fuzzy inside, and a little bit teary at some parts. they've really picked it up with season 3. amazing. seth and summer are adorable, taylor is actually human, and it felt like, for once, marissa got some sense knocked into her head and it was just really really happy.in the morning i shall watch the latest Lost ep which is also going to be

Kuttappan was bragging to his boss one day, "You know..... I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone, anyone important, and I’m sure I will knowthem." Tired of his boasting, his boss called his bluff, "OK, Kuttappan how about Tom Cruise?" Kuttappan replies "Sure, yes, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it."So Kuttappan and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock, on Tom

hahaha this is really funny. NARS has this blush called Orgasm -- it's their most famous blush because it's sort of universally flattering and apparently cause a radiant post-orgasm-esque flush. i am desiring this blush muchly and i sent shirin around Tangs Beauty Hall and Isetan while she was waiting for me, to see if they carried NARS, but neither of them did so i shall have to see if Taka has

helloooooooooi have had another looooong day. yesterday i was really long too - we hung around chinatown, which is truly amazing and looks like a different WORLD. then we walked and walked and walked around chinatown trying to find a CAB to go to arab street because i wanted to check out some very cool stores on haji lane, but this was a highly unsuccessful endeavour because of the stupid rush
