So, I went for Sunday's match, we lost. I watched a bit of yesterday's match. We lost. Now, before you think... Hmm it must be you, NO! I'm not the bad luck charm because I didn't watch the Dambulla match, and we still lost!1996 - stuff of legend. Made [ ... ]

So, following the last 2 posts, I've been trying to see what I can do to keep my mind off things.... It certainly isn't easy to do... But I guess eventually things will turn better.... It's just that going through it right now is so hard... I've been t [ ... ]

There’s a list of blogs that I tend to read regularly (you know who you are, you’re on my blogroll after all!) but there are also a few new ones that have caught my eye or have actually been recommended by other bloggers that I’ve got pretty attached to. So much so that kottu or [ ... ]

I’ve been wanting to post this for a while now. My 29th birthday would have been ideal, but somehow I don’t think I can wait that long. Rising from the ashes or just simply from the dead, can’t really have a set date, now can it?  When it needs to be posted, it needs to [ ... ]

Twitter is not the latest in blogging but until recently I didn’t gave it much thought , but after seing the potential of Twitter in the Thirty Day Challenge I think I’m going to put some effort into building a following in Twitter. Twitter is a tricky thing , if not used properly it has [ ... ]

So what according to you is war? Do you picture an ancient Persian battleground on which thousands are slain, or do you visualize soldiers and gunfire and grenades? Well it’s only human that you do. After all, these are some of the first thoughts that run through our head when we are asked to describe [ ... ]

With almost a week of Bachelor-hood to go, life couldn’t be more hectic. To add to the soup I’m in, I switched jobs last week. Yes, I left the comfortable, easy going job for a fast paced, work intensive, highly competitive job, where everybody loves to wash their jobs on to your hands. Do you [ ... ]

And usually they are very generous towards there partners as well.This month I got a 50$ payment from them for mentioning there Challenge. And if most of your traffic is coming from USA and Canada [ ... ]

You know how we speak of injustices in life that just can’t be changed? I’m not talking about crime or discrimination or racism here. I’m talking about the way life goes. That vicious cycle we keep repeating from stage to stage and page to page in our lives. I was just looking at the relationships [ ... ]

Last month I joined the Thirty Day Challenge program and because of getting tied with work , crappy internet connection etc I didn’t follow it that well.Since the office work has lessened in the last few days I decided to go through the material available in the training section and I felt really stupid for [ ... ]

I had one of the most interesting weekends ever. Saturday especially. I spent the entire day at a HIV/AIDS and gender identity workshop. Hopefully I’ll be putting all that knowledge to use if I’m free this weekend. No that doesn’t mean that I’m going to go out and have sex with someone who has the [ ... ]

Underrated, unappreciated, unexpectedly delicious and affordable - even in these inflationary times. Colonial era institutions lost their grandeur to the shabbiness of crony socialism long before I came around. Yet I can’t recall ever encountering bad food. Rest-houses were a fixtures my childhood’s many “outstation” trips. An attempt by my parent’s generation to re-live the road [ ... ]

So it was one of the most boring weekends ever and well I'm glad it's the beginning of a new week... and how did I start it? By expressing myself. For once I had the guts to do it..... and I thank very close friends who helped me convince myself that I [ ... ]

When surein told us that we'll be performing sound of music in october, I thought 'oh shit. heavy set changes!'. I will be backstage moving heavy props, along with Peter and Jakque, stressing out Sugi to a point where he would would blackouts. And today when I went to take some pictures of the rehearsals, I heard Jerome saying 'there is going to be a set change here... this bed would have to go... and stage hands will need a few seconds for it...' Ahem!

I watched the movie several times. It illustrates the philosophy of music; how music works;

Fukuroda Falls is the One of Japan’s premier waterfalls located in Ibaraki Prefecture in the town of Daigo. The Taki River has its source spring just above the falls. The river flows through the falls and ultimately joins a major Kuji river . The fa [ ... ]

How about this?! Got this in the mail - an official statement on what is presumably the letterhead of the World Anti-Doping Agency. Obviously resulting from the Jamaicans’ clean sweep of the sprint events at the Olympic Games, we shall leave the reader to gauge the document’s authenticity. OFFICIAL STATEMENT: In a joint statement issued by the presidents [ ... ]

It's amazing how much permission you need, just to be a human being. Security guard, home guard, Clogard. Got kicked out of two separate places tonight, just trying to be a kid. I'm walking because I should not drive. Of course it's roadblock city and no one can proceed in a straight line. Meander to Independence Square and being independent, decide to walk through it at two in the morning. It's a lovely space, smaller than I thought. There's a pathway of light and ponds leading to the University, a promenade I've never seen. Of course, forbidden [ ... ]

Well today was my last day at the place I've worked for the last 4 years. It's been filled with memories which I'm sure will last a lifetime, the place I met a really crazy bunch of the nicest friends and I'm real sad to say goodbye...

Was a emotional day, with so many forms to fill out and so many people to shake hands and give hugs to. After all the photographs were snapped and speeches given with gifts taken i bid 'see you soon' to my colleagues and my buddies.

When you imagine things about me that you don’t know shit about, don’t think I don’t know When you talk behind my back I know, and I know exactly what you’re saying When you don’t know me and think you do, think again, I’ll surprise you every time When you decide something about me by watching me out [ ... ]

Yesterday was my baby half-brother’s 8th birthday. I haven’t seen him in six years because he lives with my dad. I told myself throughout the whole of yesterday that I wouldn’t think about him or how he must be or what he must be doing. But as the day progressed I found that that was [ ... ]

I walked to work. For the first time in a long time I felt like I lived in Colombo. Unfortunately, living entails a lot of sweating. One really can't do that much of it. Things are different, from street level. There's a place that repairs electronics on my corner. There's scum in the gutters and people sleeping on the street. One fellow had even hung a painting above his makeshift cot. The image looked strikingly like the wall paintings in the Lascaux caves. Walk a little further, there's a temple, people selling fruit, vegetables, the latest [ ... ]

A lazy Sunday, a cool beer at the beach, read a book on a hammock whilst the sea breeze rushes through your hair, a good crab curry for lunch, a dip in the ocean...Hmmm... what luxuries Sri Lanka provides!!! Isn't that fantastic? We have it all right a [ ... ]
