Russell Peters - Major Disappointment by TicketPro and Air Asia RedTix

By -
It is definitely a big day of disappointment for fans of Russell Peters in Malaysia who were looking forward to catch him during his Notorious World Tour 2012. The fact is, I have been trying to refresh both TicketPro (http://www.ticketpro.com.my) and Air Asia Red Tix (http://redtix.airasia.com/) since morning to no avail with server failure greeting every F5 of mine!!!

Last nite, viewing the seating chart showed that for most zones, tickets were marked as N/A. And this morning, just after two hours... it was only expensive zone tickets that were left!!! Are you seriously telling me that within that time period, all the tickets were snapped up or is it the typical Malaysian scenario, internal purchase was possible.

I dare say this as I have couple of friends who managed to buy their tickets internally!!! This is really disheartening and proves once again, that even corporations are not spared from the Malaysian norm; "it's not what you know in Malaysia, it's WHO you know!"

If public was assured that sales of tickets will begin at 9.00AM on 18 April 2012, how can the other two ticket zones be marked as N/A at 7.30AM! This is my question to @RedTix and I believe they would just keep silent rather than owning up to their mistake and in words of Russell: "BE A MAN"...

    I managed to get tix at 1pm at Rock Corner (thx to a friend). You should still try them out.

    Most of the tickets have prob gone to VIPs and PR(mags/newspaper/radio for contests etc).

Saw in the news today, media abuzz on SRK being held for 2 hours at Newark International Liberty Airport. This reminded me of my old article I posted sometime back… Datuk Shahrukh Khan.... maa ehhhhh!!!   I bet fans around the world are throwing tantrums on the detention incident and as expected, the Indian media and political figures are calling for an equal treatment to be accorded to US VIPs and public figures during their visit to India…   And I’m certain the media of Malaysia would be joining the bandwagon to express their ‘disappointment’ on Datuk being detained… Certainly criticism and some experts would express their takes on the issue…   Let me bring everyone (including avid fans) back to reality… US is a sovereign nation that upholds law & order above everything else… When there is an uproar on discrimation, US is a country that does not discriminate definitely because apart from the President who travels on Air Force One, EVERYONE else is subjected to the sa

Since our marriage, my wife has always advised me on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, needless to say, it fell on deaf ears, countless efforts of hers just failed to move the titan towards losing weight. August 2019, I went for my yearly medical check up and for the first time ever, I failed to reach level 3 of my stress test. Which was a stress of its own! (That's Warning #1). In September, I realised that I was having a whistling sound as I climbed stairs and mobility was limited when I tried putting on socks (Warning #2). Before I have to write about Warning #3, in my panic and fear thanks to Web MD where every symptom leads to cancer/stroke/heart failure, I visited my local doctor, who asked me the simplest question, "did you gain significant weight recently?" Well, here it is in the public portal, I was indeed heaviest that I have ever been at 152kg! She gave a simple solution, "lose your weight" and being a close family friend, it followed with a

Saffron Hills - Our Dream Home In The Making...

Entrance Path to Denai Alam Denai Alam , a secluded township 10KM from Shah Alam city has been one of our favourite places to reside in Klang Valley. Connected by the Guthrie Corridor Expressway and away from the hustle and bustle of the metropolitan Kuala Lumpur. Our discovery of Denai Alam for the first time was approximately 3 years ago, thanks to Shane bhai but at that time, we just couldn't afford to pay the price of the properties. The unique bit of Denai Alam lies in the developer behind the whole project, Sime Darby Property Berhad with accolades of high-end projects in Malaysia that are well thought-off and features unique architectures. Denai Alam is no different in presenting the hallmark of Sime Darby in terms of township development. A year ago, we were browsing for properties in Denai Alam and we even got a property agent to show us available units, among the various types of properties, Opulenia  made us wish we had the money to get our dream home, but as i
