I've decided that I'm immature

Despite all my pretenses at being 22 and all grown up, on Saturday, Hollywood had invariably stripped me bare and exposed me for the immature 16 year old I really am :)

Yes, its Muthafuckin' Snakes on a Muthafuckin' Plane! Before the movie, I thought I was going to dread watching almost 2 hrs of snakes in various poses ready to prey on their unsuspecting human prey. However, I discovered that there is no way I can stop myself from giggling at snakes attacking and attaching themselves to mammaries, phalluses, posteriors, small children, dogs and annoying pompous brits ON A PLANE!

A++ will watch again :D

International Cricket in Malaysia! :(

Double dose of bad news :(, the Black Caps aren't playing in the tri-series, and all the games have been moved to KL!

Surely they can't have better grounds in Malaysia? The professional cricket players in both countries are close to zero :D, and Singapore has much better infrastucture and services!

Ah well, it still looks like that I'm heading to KL for the final between Australia and India (yep, I'm that sure about the outcome) with Chad and an Aussie from work. The Warney shirt should be on its way from NZ in the next few days (thanks Masty, you're a champ). I s'pose I should find out where to get tickets now...

To random cricket fans in S.E. Asia that read this blog, http://www.axcess.com.my/index2.asp is supposedly where you get the tickets. They aren't available on the interweb yet, you'll probably have to call.

Retards

Karma strikes Ian in the behind again. After laughing at the misfortune of Marcel a few posts back about his inability to see DJ Shadow play in Wellington. I myself also did not have the fortune of seeing DJ Shadow live in Singapore. :(

Why the hell weren't any of the tickets sold before hand? Why weren't they jacked up to a premium price? Every man and his dog is going to go if you keep it at $30 with 2 free drinks.

Did the heat drain the logic and rationality from the organizer's heads? Or more likely they probably just didn't give a shit and wanted to cram as many people in as possible.

Is it really all about the bottom line here? Retards...

Yes, I agree I could've got there at 8 just to get in, but then if they had presales problem solved!

Tards

International Cricket in Singapore!

http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/westindies/content/story/255109.html
YUSS! Apparently there's a Tri-Series played here and in KL in September. Currently involving India, Australia and the West Indies. There is doubt at whether the West Indies will be able to play given that they haven't consulted their players yet. Sri Lanka and New Zealand are on stand-by if the Windies can't sort their shit out.

Hopefully the Windies stay home and I can catch the Black Caps here! Regardless, it'll still be the sporting event of the year!

First three games in Singapore and last four games in KL. It's gonna be a grand time, chopping back beers, hurling abuse at Australians, general larrakinism under the sun. I'm definitely taking time off work for this!

My only regret is that the Warney shirt is in NZ and I have now lost all traces of my blondness... sad times.
