Royal Thomian Photos

Royal Thomian Photo Gallery


Colombo is an oven and I’m marinating in beer, coke and arrack at the Royal Thomian match. Boycy got me a press pass and that’s enough to get in. I’m no old boy, but it’s nice to run into so many people I know. Royalists and Thomians are the two elite schools that run Colombo business and society – for better or incestuously retarded worst. There are, however, a lot of good people coming outta there. As they’re brokeback schools the crowd is mostly male, with a smattering of a few velly fit (and underage) birds. I don’t have ubermuch to say cause I’ve been hungover for the last three days, but here are some of my favorite photos. There are also some hidden goodies, including me and my cousin looking like a couple, Sophist, and Gehan Dias wearing capri pants and eating barbeque (at Harean’s birthday, happy, natch).

Weird how all the people in the photos are acquaintances. I guess if you really need to meet a Thora or a Royalist who’s dodging you cos he owes you money then there are 3 days every year where you can definitely find him in a given location!
Do you know any of the people in the photos or are they just random ones you’ve taken? They seemed to have been happy to pose for you so I guess you do know them. If you do, then say hi to Thivanka and Lirunda for me :)

No wait, that’s Suranga? Bloody hell! When I last saw him he was a kiddie in short shorts playing tennis! Does he still have that daschund that tries to hump your legs?
Shanaka looks like some kind of psychopath in that photo :)
Thanks for all of the photos! :)

Carasek: Growing up, my only impression of the average Chinese was that they were hard as nails. John Woo, Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan movies will have that effect, of course.

Why Does India Suck At The Olympics?

Today on the morning show we talked about the Olympics, namely China’s emerging dominance. For me the bigger question is India. Why does India suck so much? In 2008 the US won 110 medals, China won 100 and India won… 3. India has over a billion people, some economic clout and is by all counts an emerging superpower, but they suck at the Olympics. Why?

New New Kottu

Janith has updated Kottu with rims and shit. Seriously, it looks pretty good. You could say the desktop look is cosmetic, but check out the mobile. Kottu now looks like an app with settings and menus and such. The biggest problem with K2 is me, ie, it now takes me up to a month to respond to emails. OMG I’m scared of my email. But Janith’s done this code and design update all by himself and it looks pretty good. Check it out. There was one bug with the previous page link. Lettuce know if there’s any more.

Miss Travel. Alternately, Mistravel

This is highly dubious. Miss Travel is a travel/social networking site that connects ‘Generous’ and ‘Attractive’ travelers. To, like, travel together, I guess. It all seems a bit like arranged prostitution and trafficking. This is part of a broader online trend to connect rich men to younger, attractive women. Sites like seekingarrangement.com connects women to ‘sugar daddies’ already. I guess Miss Travel is just taking that trend international. Wait, I checked, it’s the same guy doing both.

Buying Appliances Online (Singer)

Sri Lankan domestics never say anything, they just stop coming. My maid just stopped coming and when I finally pressed her she said I needed to get a washing machine. I was hoping to ride this one out, but I’ve run out of underwear and I have no choice. I finally caved and bought a washing machine, from Singer, ONLINE. I put the online in all caps because it’s pretty awesome. I ordered the thing in like 15 minutes on Saturday and they just delivered it today. It’s pretty awesome, this brave new world.
