Mind Block

2 essays to be completed , but total mind block now. I have like so many readings, until I am at a lost of which one to select, quote and then continue with my essays. Argh!

My life is now about readings, Kant, Hobbes, Lee Kuan Yew, Hungtington. Yes, you can consider al these people my new friends now. Not exactly, not. I am kind of intrigued, cause, back in secondary school days, I actually had some ideas about the world . Those ideas were actually the same as those thought by my friends. A thing to note is that I didn't read their works before, up to now.

Econs or Pol Sci? Interest or Practicality. Not that PS has not much practicality, but somehow, it is still not that practical in terms of the skills I will learn throughout uni. That is what I guess.

Oh well, Liverpool finally won a game after like 2 months. Time for them to keep this momentum. Really, somehow, after this up and down period, support and love for something has gave me new insights. Liverpool case has verified this. When they were 2 seasons ago, the support for them were all time high. I have friends who were like jumping on the bandwagon, shouting out for Benitez, Gerrard, Torres. When they came to Singapore for the pre-season match, National Stadium turned red, not for the Singapore team ironically, but for Liverpool.

When they underperformed, people were shouting for the heads of all the players. I was not an exception. I shouted, ranted, spewed vulgairties and all sorts. Then came one day, when I saw the supporters of newcastle, leeds, and teams other than the big 4. Many of them supported their team throughtout adversity, take in all the insults from critics. Very shameful indeed, looking at the way I behave.

So now, Liverpool is my life and blood. They made me love the colour red, they made me accept my nickname of redporridge. Partially, ( red--> redporridge). They made me know that to be first is not the priority , of course, I very much want them to win almost everything they can. The process of winning, the process in doing the thing, be it the result, good or bad, you must account to yourself, put in you all into it. The FA cup win over West Ham, the UEFA Champions League win over AC Milan, are victories so representatice of my reasons why I support them. Not blind faith, but faith that they have earned for me.

Players do change, I miss the old ones definitely. Change is the only constant of our time, new ones will replace the old ones. The new crop of them should be able to get something out, almost the whole first 11 are internationals, or rather all of them are. To represent the country is already the top honour, unless we manage to find Martians, then we will have this Milky Way Galaxy Cup.

Okies 2 more essays in 5 hours. Please bless me! and of course, Bolton VS Liverpool. Come on lads, I know you can do it =)
