Up-pu-date-to
Well, I'm really lazy to upload pictures here. Can lah, but I'm really lazy. If you wanna see photos go see my facebook. If you don't have facebook, too bad then. LOL.
What have been up to recently? Actually life is a lot slacker than during the sems, but somehow there is still this lingering sense of busy-ness and things-to-be-done and things-to-be-initiated.
Of course, the 'magical' period called the FOP.
Was working for a short but super long 4 days under AK, but after that I really found myself having nothing to do, except FOP stuff of course.
Involved in much of Oweek's filming, a bit of Arts Camp stuff, and with pre camp looming, things are only picking up and heating up.
Some things are inevitable, like the leaving of Mark Hughes to Man City. Well, I've expected this since he was appointed manager of Blackburn Rovers. That's the problem being a 'small' club. When you do badly, you're not happy. When you do well, you're not happy as well, as you know your best manager, your best players, will all be subject to interest. No matter whether you're good or bad in the short run, it will tend to being 'mediocre' in the long run. Either way, it's bad.
For them, the easy way out to success is to use Rovers as a stepping stone, and leave for a potentially more successful place, and they will have their ambitions matched. Few players will have the drive and hope to stay on, be themselves the good players to drive the club forward, instead of jumping ship at every opportunity. That is why players like Tugay and Friedel are really respected by me, as they have shown tremendous loyalty to the club despite them being really really good.
Where leave the fans then? "Stuck" at this club, no matter whether it does good or bad. Of course, jumping ship to support another club makes 'life' a lot easier, but certain things you don't switch that easily, and perhaps will never at all.
Oh, I've finishing watching all 37 episodes of the Death Note anime series in 3-4 days, and it was good! A lot more developed than the movies, a lot more 'drama rama' intellectual battles, and it really showed how 'bastard' Kira was in achieving his dreams. Just that when Near came in, he was rather a tad too successful in all his analysis, and Kira left too many loopholes for Near to exploit, which kind of spoils the intriguing battles between L and Kira.
Well, I was at the stadium when Singapore lost to Uzbekistan 7-3, what a disaster.
Many of such happenings these days lead me to think about the inevitability of things, like no matter how we 'bluff' ourselves in the short run, things will have to tend to their realistic truths one day.
But on the other hand, from all these motivation thoughts, you only achieve what you 'can't' when you aim atrociously high, as even as you fail, you would be higher than where you were.
Ok in the spirit of this incoherent post, it ends abruptly here.
