Bad Night

A bad night to end the day off yesterday. I guess it was my foul mood which caused the whole incident. Nevertheless, it felt god that I got it off my chest. Earlier rather than later, for it may get worse in the future. 

Going to watch two great plays today - Wicked and Breaking Dawn. One is a movie and the other is some Broadway musical. Kind of looking forward to it. It is a first time watching a musical, hence the excitement. Most importantly, it is the company. Hopefully, all will turn well later on.

Liverpool drew Oldham for FA Cup. They better win this match comfortably, if not they will be doomed man. Sometimes, it feels really tough to be a Liverpool Supporter. It feels like you are standing by a criminal who is waiting for the verdict to be passed on. But if one were to be optimistic, I foresee a very bright future ahead for Liverpool, provided these young starlets can match up or go one notch further than their Manchester City counterparts. Money is the root of evil. In the world of football.

TeeHee.

Stomach Flu Again!

Had close to 8 hours of sleep last night. Satisfying sleep? You bet. It was even better to witness the victory Chelsea had over Manchester City. One word to describe it. Sweet.

I personally detest a one horse or two horse title race. To me, it just spoils the whole meaning of competition. What is the point when you only have two teams which have the quality to challenge for the league title? Take a look at the Spanish League. In the past, they have teams like Valencia or Athletico Madrid to challenge Real Madrid and Barcelona. Right now, the whole league seems to be centered around Real and Barca. It really dilutes the whole attraction of the league.

Enough of football. Today was a day like any other. After the Chelsea-Manc match, it is time for the Straits Times and my breakfast. Soon after, I switch on MioTV to watch the latest episodes of the Channel 8 dramas, Code of Honour and A Song to Remember. There are many people who like to criticise local productions and I have no idea why. The quality of local productions can never meet the standards that their overseas counterpart but I do see an improvement over the years. For example, M complained that a particular scene in the Code of Honour was too exaggerated. In that scene, Elvin Ng stayed in the air for approximately 10 seconds and within that time, he managed to execute some Kung Fu moves that resembled that of Ong Bak. People starts to say that this is a pack of bullshit and that Singapore productions are nonsensical.  If that is the case, why do these critics bother to watch Ong Bak or Hong Kong Kung Fu movies? What make these overseas productions better than the local ones? Just because such fighting scenes originated from them? 

There has always been this saying that, "If locals don't even want to help the local people, how then can the locals survive?". This phrase has been deeply etched in my mind, and I strongly feel that this is the reason why people fail to return to their roots and always look up to foreigners. Really detest such attitude, but what can I do? An individual's fight is impossible to repel the forces of globalization.

I can only hope for the change. Why? I don't like the way you are commenting on stuff. It feels very constrictive. Hopefully, you get what I truly mean and not misconstrue it...

Holidays!

A short one month break has finally arrived. It will be a good breather after this crazy semester.

I just got out of the bathroom and the first thing I want to rant is how run down my body has become. Right after my exams, I have this inflamed jaw joint. It happened it my left side of my jaw and it was the first time i have encountered an inflamed joint. This ailments only happen to old people right?!?!?!

In any case, I went to the polyclinic to do a checkup and it allayed my initial fears of a dislocated jaw ( Yes, I always like to assume the worst case scenario so as to act an insurance scheme). My aw has recovered after a few days of medication but now I am having constant headaches. Headaches that come pounding on the skull. It is really turning me off. I have no wish to see the doctor again as I do not feel like fattening their wallets. Somehow, I traced that the problem lies with my flattened pillow, which I have been using for close to 15 years, and to a considerable extent, the chill of the december weather is causing my insides to rock and roll abit.

Yesterday, I had a great meet up session with the navy pals. It was a fun session disrupted by my late arrival. Oopsy. This meet up was a small gathering before each of them jets off on their overseas trip. Egypt, Japan, Taiwan and Australia are going to be their playgrounds. Me? Holed up in this tiny island!

I have completed Rich Dad Poor Dad. A week to complete it. Shame. I received a snide remark when someone said that he read it during his secondary school days. Ouch! But hey, look! Who is the one who used up his 10K bonus payout in one shot? It is a book that everyone who is entering the adult life should read. The book gives great insight on what we should look beyond our current education system and how we should take initiative and risks in order to accomplish greater things in life. In this case, to accumulate more wealth and be financially independent ahead of everybody else. It is clear that this book is a strong advocate of capitalism and financial education, but hey, this economic ideology is bound to stay and it does not seem to fail any time within our lifetime. Great book that everyone should go get!

Alright, the headache is still here. Damn. oh anyway, i realized that I did not kept to my promise i attempting to blog every single day during my semester, It was a shame. again. Oh no! I used "shame" twice in on post. the reality is that everyone is diving into the realms of twitter-verse and Facebook-verse?, and the blogosphere is resembling the junk around the earth atmosphere. So many of them are neglected and abandoned. This somehow affects my mood in blogging. Why? Firstly, there are lesser blogs to read up and take ideas from, and secondly, only the models are blogging. Hahas! It is not realy the case of taking ideas, but rather the whole atmosphere of blogging. It is no longer there. Well, the models are still blogging, reason is simply because, people are still so "kaypoh" and interested in their pictures. Fullstop.

Ok, ta-da. Time to rest my mind... not to forget, I still have an article that I have yet to start on. It is for the school magazine!
