No Kings of Tennis this weekend but plenty of other events
I know a lot of tennis enthusiasts must have been crushed by the cancellation of this much awaited, much promoted, much talked about tennis event of all time in Penang.
Sad. But what to do? The organiser did not pay the producer so the players aren’t coming without being paid.
Never mind that the tickets to the event (costing RM200 – RM1200 each) for all 5000 seats were all sold out. The organisers just could not make the payment. No, that’s not just hearsay. It’s in the news and for the actual detailed press statement from Kings of Tennis producer in Sweden, go here.
Oh alright, so the tennis thing is not going to happen but there’s plenty of other things you could go to.
For example, there’s an Anti-ISA candelight vigil over at Esplanade this Saturday night. Go here for details.
Just be careful when singing the national anthem when there. It may spark off some violent reactions from men in uniforms who will suddenly turn deaf and insist that they didn’t do it during the singing of the national anthem.
You just never know nowadays.
Not your thing? Never mind.
You can go for these…
A Night at the Theatre – a charity concert by Priscilla Ballet at Dewan Sri Pinang, Saturday night. Call 04-2276918 / 04-6448209 for details.
International Meatless Carnival – roadside next to the Esplanade, Sunday, 11am – 3pm.
A Night of Nostalgia – cutthroat high class dinner disguised as charity dinner at E & O Hotel, Friday night.Call Karen 012-4985119 for details.
I am definitely going for the international meatless day carnival. Mainly because I bought some coupons after being ‘attacked’ by a friend who had to sell them.
heheh..also, I’d stay away from the bridge and its vicinity this Sunday as it is the Penang International Bridge Run and roads will be closed, traffic congested, people running on the road, etc.
