Cricket is designed to be played quickly when a test match lasts a week? Who's kidding whom?adamnz wrote:Why we have rugby and cricket on here ...thats what we play on this side of the world not baseball, gridiron and basketball.![]()

that slingbox would worked if i still had directv or some kinda cable/sat tv system hooked up back home.
otherwise i might get only the local channels: plus, there's no one living in my place, so i'm not sure if leaving the system plugged in and powered up is the right way to go.
perhaps i should fanagle or lure a friend into doing the slingbox setup for me. WAHAHAHAHAA....
perhaps i should have spent more time making more friends.

I'm Malaysian (which means I'm practically Singaporean anyway), but the family moved to NZ.
If home = Malaysia
I miss

- the local food
If home = NZ
I miss
- the weather
- the people
- I even miss those irritating WAREHOUSE advertisements.
- Burger King (the BK here is crap)

Man, I really miss American/Canadian sports too. Especially the NHL, we didn't even get the Playoffs down here! I don't mind the sports we do get, other than the fact that we have several channels dedicated to re-runs of soccer matches day after day, like ESPN classic out of control!
Taaake me out to the ball game...
