If I don't write about the All Blacks win I am sure I would rot in hell. Anyway its a different story that people say that I already have a reserved room in hell. When I was a kid when looking at all the teams it was quiet natural to become an All black supporter. I am sure like millions ...
This is the third weekend in a row that I didn't get to go to Kandy. Specially being in Colombo makes me miss the smoothing recuperation that I get each week by being at 'home'. So I am just gazing at the old pictures. see my full set of pictures from Kandy here,
My CD shop dude has this peculiar ability to pick films of my taste. From all the people whom I had associated with, he probably has the highest success rate in recommending films and say, "your type of film".
