"Somebody Gonna Get A Hurt Real Bad"

RUSSELL Peters is going to be in this part of the world some time soon. Yes, the bloody Canadian comedian who picks on his audience for a laugh. Tickets for his show were snapped up within three hours when it was up for sale last week here in Kuala Lumpur. I hear Dubai still holds the record for having sold all tickets within eight minutes or so ? It's crazy how people would pay so much and risk themselves being made fun of by this man on World Wide Web. 


Just the other day, I got a call from a dear friend. I mean, I love this woman to bits, don't get me wrong. 
"Jaya, do you know of anyone who'd want to sell their Russell Peters tickets ? I'm willing to pay any amount. Money is no issue," she said. 
Coming from her, it's quite acceptable (because she was enquiring about something to a friend) although it seems pretty much like the case of random idiots who call the media office to complain about a small fire in their backyard when they'd be better off calling the fire department instead. They're even rude about it like...
"Have you called the fire department, sir?"
"No, it's your job to call". 
Really. How IS that ?


So Russell tickets are sold out. I mean, they're completely wiped out and I know of many Malaysians who are actually crossing over to Singapore to catch him in that tiny city-state as the man is making his presence there too. Despite everything, I must admit that Russell does make me laugh out loud although his jokes can be repetitive sometimes and they make me want to kick him hard in the balls at other times. Some jokes have that kind of aggressive-with-laughter effect on me (hmm...in a nice way, methinks) and Russell's satirical genre which focuses mostly on racism, multi-culturism, stereotypes and some bit of sex is just crazy for lack of a better word at this hour of the night. 


I'd be sorry if I don't catch him here at my shore, so thanks to a real sweetheart who'd like to remain anonymous (because this person really deserves a mention here), I've got two tickets myself! I don't know where Mich and I would be seated in that show, but considering that we are such a striking couple, we could very well be the bull's eye in the Russell target. I'd assure you one thing though. If he ever picks on us, I'm going to cry out loud or rather wail and create some drama just for the heck of it. I did learn method acting after all. It'll be really interesting to see how Russell reacts to something like that :)

  1. Don't wail, Jaya! You'll annoy the rest of the audience for spoiling the show! Just call him a "Big Silly Man", if he picks on you. If you say it right it will sound funny.

  2. He’s quite the funny guy & considering his brand of humour, it’s not surprising he’s from multi-cultural Canada!
    Enjoy the show & if he targets you, give it right back to him!

  15. Hope you have fun, i do like Russel Peters, he is always funny, hes done a few movies too. But mainly playing comedians. Now you have tempted fate by saying he will pick on you, he surely will.
    The youtube videos were so funny, like it when he thought they were going to take him to a torture camp lol.

  17. Comedians are so intelligent they can easily get jokes for every answer you throw back at them. Poor David and Vickey.

An Award on Oscar Day

THANKS for the Kreativ Blogger award on Oscar Day,  Queen Bee . It is sweet to pin a badge like this here and since this is my first award, it's all the more sweet.  With this, I'm required to list out ten random things about myself and later tag six other favourite bloggers.  Let's start with the 10 Random Things :)  1) Diamonds are not for me.  I admire jewelry (fine or otherwise) but I'm not in love with them enough to want to own them. My favourite jewelry is a pair of white pearl stud earrings.  2) I drink water for breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner. It's just a good habit I can't break. I usually write with a bottle of water next to me instead of a mug of coffee.  3) I love balms . Nothing calms me better than a nice balm. It reminds me of my grandma, clears my mind, and puts me to sleep.  4) I keep a hammer in my bedroom.  It came in handy TWICE when the lock jammed. I broke it and set me free. My mother was petrified with the knowledge that m

Me, Myself and I

LOVELY Miss  Azra  has tagged me. It's fun once in a while to do this sort of thing and questions here seem doable too. I'll try to keep my answers short and sweet, resisting the urge to ramble since it's all about Me, Myself and I ! 1. What is your favourite saying, or motto ?  It doesn't matter. Don't worry about it.  Basically, I just try to see the positives in most shitty situations. Realistically.   2. What is your dream job ?  It ranges from being a tour guide, a travel writer and a secret agent to a medical rep, a rose picker for Chanel gardens in France and an English teacher to those under 12. I'm allergic to teenagers. 3. What part of the world do you have little interest in travelling to ? And which part of the world is next on your list ?  I have little interest in Jakarta and Bangladesh, or any place where the temperature is -45 Deg Celcius for most of the year.  My dream destination is Africa. Next on list is either Africa or New York

From Doha, With Love : Minimal Changes

SO I've been to Doha a few times already by now. Minimal or no changes at all on this flat land of sand and sandstorms, except that the population seemed to have increased by god-knows-how-many-folds judging from the volume of people seen at the popular Souk Waqif in the city centre two days ago. It's like people have multiplied like the sea sands. The last few times I was there, I remember liking the place for what it was - a perfect venue to people-watch, smoke Shisha and be a tourist. Now I don't know if that's a good thing... ...if there aren't enough social venues for this astounding volume! Perhaps, I'm a little spoiled coming from a city where food is available 24 hours a day, with freedom of alcohol consumption at random bistros and cafes and to do just about everything I wished for in a cultural setting that doesn't stare at me like I'm some kind of a three-eyed monster. I suppose people here are just a curious bunch given the potpourri of
