Marching on...

We're in March. Yes, just like that 2 months of 2009 has already passed.

Incredible.

So let's see..

Liverpool are out of it. Sadly :( They got closer this year, but not quite close enough. With that 2-0 loss to Midsbro, they're now 7 points behind Manchester United having played a game more. If United win that game in hand, its gonna be 10 points. Nooo!!

Rafa still hasn't signed his contract.
With just the Champions League left, it might be another season of empty-handedness. I wonder if the end of the season will see a change of manager.
We got closer to the league title this year, actually very close, but still it wasn't good enough.

Oh well, looks like we'll have to wait another year at least. Someone else had better win next year. If Manchester United do win, which is looking increasingly likely, they tie Liverpool's record of 18 league titles. I really do hope that next season Liverpool would prevent them from getting number 19.

You'll Never Walk Alone :)

Moving on to the Oscars,
would somebody please tell me..

Why the critically acclaimed and loved, Oscar Best Picture winning movie, Slumdog Millionaire, isn't going to be shown in cinemas here in J.B.?

It is kind of ridiculous. Slumdog won 8 Oscars. 8 Oscars!!
It is a movie which has won the attention of critics and fans alike.
Yet, they don't see fit to release it in cinemas here, despite the fact that it is showing in KL and Penang already.
Come on, this is JB, not some kampung.

Other awards, Heath Ledger! I'm glad he won Best Supporting Actor. Joker is still a performance which I remember, almost a year after I watched The Dark Knight.
Its still sad to think of how someone so talented could die so young.

'Derita Gaza'
Honestly, i didn't know what was the whole thing about until we were a few seconds from entering the auditorium ..
and i saw people showing and waving around their tickets.

It was..
too long? i guess. But the acting and screenplay all were good.
haha.
Honestly, i was like so anxious for it to end.
Come on, the whole play had at about 8 to 9 songs, at least.
Driving me mad.
So, me, pavanjit and isaac concentrated on other things.
Things that i shouldn't quite say :)

Well, thats it for now.
Hopefully March wouldn't go on as fast as the past 2 months.
