The one week break

The one week break is just about to end but not without having my weekly dose of soccer wif the MIB guys in sch.. so lets see what i did for this week..

To be fair to myself, i did put in study hours that i have never put b4 in any previous 1 week break. Whether or not i fully optimised the time to study the maximum amount is subjective.. However.. i did what i could and i have no regrets.. As my fren said.. no matter how much u study, u never feel its enough.. But did i study that much to feel that unsatisfied??

Well.. i have been watchin a lot of documentaries on tv and my feelings are that the world is not moving in the right direction. Its easy to say this from the comfort of home but at least i would like to highlight some sad facts of the world today.

In a world of 6 billion people why is it that almost 1/3 do not have daily access to clean water and sanitation facilities? And yet here we are in sunny singapore, leaving the tap running wastefully for minutes. Its worse when we consider that our tap water is perfectly portable! Why is it that life is thus unfair to people? But shud we jus accept the fact? Or is there things tat we can do to rectify them. As normal citizens, perhaps we dont have the power to move mountains or to play God.

At the very least, we can act as proper citizens. Giving way on the mrt, being polite to customers, treating animals properly and all. In the 70 odd years that a human being lives, its not about how much he learnt, how much he achieved or how much wealth he has amassed. Its about how much he has contributed to society. And contribution need not be to win olympic medals for your country or to create new inventions to make life easier.

Its about bringing a smile to those who have no reason to smile. Its about feeding a stray cat or dog that has visible ribs due to emaciation. Its about giving just a little to charity so that while you have a sumptous meal.. someone else is just as happy to have a meal at all. Its about treating people with AIDS just as normal human beings who through fate or otherwise get to see God earlier than most others. In general, its about caring..

So guys.. lets all care and share. So that when its time to leave, we wud have left behind our legacy is someone's smile, some community's future or even a rose that is about to bloom after our demise..

The eyes are to look...

The lecture is monotonous.. the lecturer is just another incarnation of a beehive.. droning on and on and on.. the eyes tend to wander.. to the opposite sex..

There is nothing wrong in looking.. the heart may flutter but then a flutter is just that.. a passing wind when u notice a rose amongst the thorns.. they may not be THE one.. but they are just as they say.. or rather an edited version of wat they used to say "some fish in the pond are more striking than the others".

Imagine it this way.. everyone likes candy (i hope, candy refering to sweet, choc, or watever sweet that u like to eat.. sugar included).. so probably wat u see in lectures and schools are what u call eye candy.. they are sweet.. attractive.. but jus like candy tat dissolves after a few mins.. they are gone.. at most (jus like candy) they leave an aftertaste in yr mouth for an hour at the most.. So looking is not wrong guys (and gals) trust me..

But when yr talkin abt THE one.. the candy analogy goes outta the window.. When u see THE one its like tasting a certain kind of food at only a particular place and then realising that wherever else u wana buy tat food.. it doesnt come close to the original. For example.. after eating the carrot cake at Old Airport Road in kallang.. carrot cake from other places doesnt even remotely taste good at all! So its tat.. we can spend years looking for THE one.. but when we have them.. care needs to be taken not to let them leave us.. Coz i believe in oppotunities.. or rather lets say "an oppotunity comes along only once".

An oppotunity is like seeing a lambroghini gallardo in singapore (i saw one near sch recently though). Rare.. so when it comes along.. make full effort to take it.. and savour the moments tat follow..

Not sure if i makin any sort of sense.. but as u can see i am very bored so i anyhow whack things and act philosophical only... time to sleep..

The lost months

This post is to make up for the lost time in my blog.. hence i dono where to start but i shall try my best.. lets start wif my personal life.. well.. there have been so few changes.. i am still not yet a bachelor (not to say regretfully).. i am still not enjoying school (regrettfully and non-regrettfully) and i still love LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB as i have always did since 1992. My girlfren refused to be drawn into my description of that magical night in istanbul.. but here i am king so here goes!!

God at work Mk1: Riise crosses to Gerrard who is left unmarked (yes ppl.. left unmarked by the famed milan defence) to rise high to the heavens and send the first petition that the cup was returning to merseyside.

God at work Mk2: Vladimier Smicer.. the forgotten man of liverpool in his last game of the club thumps one in from a full 25yards off the sinew-stretched fingers of Dida.. 2-3..

God at work(wif some mischief) Mk3: Alonso steps up to take a penalty.. Dida saves.. but El Alonso crashes in the rebound to send the red region roaring... 3-3!!

God at work Mk4: Andriv Shevchenko... goal at his mercy wif only Dudek (yes ppl jerzy dudek!) to beat from 3 yards out. You never would have thought God would have put his hand out to stop the ball from entering the net would u? But he did guys.. he did..

The rest is history as they say.. its been long awaiting guys.. 20 long years since our last euro cup final and probably the best we have ever seen.. YES i do MEAN THE BEST! The 1999 final between bayern munich and the eventual winners doesnt come close.. the final game and the other red team itself.. no way..

Away from all the soccer.. my life has been going along with its fair share of hiccups.. hills.. valleys and numerous plateaus.. school is still as unpleasant and i doubt i will grow to like it anytime soon.. other than that.. to finish off on a note "money may be the root of all evil.. but i rather water the plant instead of uprooting it" lame.. but true in my current situation.. till the next one.. peace!!
