Looking for a light

You chose the wrong person to mess with. The past is the past and perhaps you are entitled to gloat over it, because well you came out on top after all, but to showcase it as if it were some sort of brilliant once-in-a-lifetime moment that you fully deserved?

Arrogance.

And you know what, I thank you for it. Thank you for now putting the fire in my belly, and for lighting the flames under my butt, cos now, I have more reason than ever to work harder. You took a wrong step, and you chose the wrong day and the wrong neigbourhood to be messing around with.

Asleep no more, and coming for you.

Out.

24

Yesterday was like any normal day, I think when you're 24 and all, things pretty much stay the same, and I don't anticipate myself feeling any different till I reach 30, if I reach 30 I must humbly say. Sorry not being pessimistic or anything just saying.

But where I am now, i couldn't be happier, well I could I guess, but based on what I have now, things really seem to fit, and I am happy that I spent the whole year of my life last year doing things that I really wanted to do. I will alwyas look back upon the last year as a moment where life gained much more clarity, and I hope that it will keep getting clearer as time goes by.

Thanks to all those who remembered, for all the SMSs, I cant believe that so many people actually remembered this time around, even those whom I havent heard for the longest time from. And reading the notes and letters, these are what birthdays are all about, knowing that over the past year, you have made a difference to those around you. Gifts are always nice but I always think words and actions have a certain poignance and permanence to them. But I appreciate everything given to me, tangible or not.

Looking ahead, this year will be another watershed year, because by the time my bday comes around again, I would have finished my education, and be almost done with my experience with the greatest team ever, VJSG. Hmmm, scary cos I would realli have to step out of my comfort zone, but the purpose of life is indeed to grow. I will have to say "see ya later" to so many people, but I hope it will never be a goodbye.

But that's another story for another time, now what I have ahead of me are 364 days to make a difference, and to live life to the fullest.

I know a lot of people say this, but I think those of you who know me, know that I am one of the few who will realli do it.

SOmetimes I realli wonder if I can be a good elder brother at all. Today came home, and was on the phone with KR when my dad started shouting at my brother, I asked KR to hold on, and asked my dad what the problem was. It seems that he was asking my brother to do something, which had to be done immediately. and my brother refused to budge even though it would take less than 30seconds of his time.

In frustration, I went to do it myself, and I kept asking is the reason why my brothers are like that is cos I wasnt or rather am not a good elder brother. I think nowadays I am a lot less rebellious and am willing to spend more time with the family. Funny though, my brothers are so different. One is missing 95% of the time, he rarely comes home, and supposedly has to stay in even though he is a clerk at a nearby army camp. The other is always rude to my parents and has no respect for people's belongings. I guess I shouldnt be saying all this here, but heck I guess better than holding it in.

I guess I wish I could be a much more successful person who is worthy of being respected, but oh well, its ironic, yet rather common that sometimes you seek solace and reassurance from people you leats expect it from. And the people who give a damn most about you are sometimes ironically not the people you expect to. But its fine. I have come to realise that God blesses all of us in different ways, and cant take things for granted. He makes our paths cross, guides us with His hand to make decisions, for very apt reasons. And its up to us to recognise opportunity when we see it, and do our best with whateva we have.

Dats all I am gonna say, I know tomorrow will be a better day.

Munich Air Disaster

Today is the 55th year and oneth day since the Munich Air Disaster, I've read a lot about it, but don't think I can truly ever comprehend the meaning of being a Man U supporter when that horrible accident happened. Can realli sympathise with Sir Bobby C, who has to relive it every once a year everytime it comes around again.

I reember reading once about how Chelsea said they wanted to become the biggest club in the world. But being the biggest club in the world is not just simply about selling the most shirts, or even winning the most trophies.Its so much more than that. Its about legends, history and tradition. Although Liverpool is remembered for winning many Euro championships, the true liverpool fans always speak so greatly of Anfield, the Kop End, and the dynamic duo of Bob Paisley and Bill Shankly. For Man U, it has always been the busby babes, and how like a phoenix from the ashes of Munich, they rose again to win the 1968 European Cup just a few years after the horrific accident decimated the team. People will remember the likes of Best, Charlton, Keane, Cantona and Beckham. Wat about Chelsea? Perhaps just how they bought the premiership. Arsenal too although forming a legend on their own, is still a long way off the Mancunian and Merseyside Reds.

I guess I will never realli know how it felt to be a Man U supporter at at time, and I dont realli want to. But more importantly, Im proud of the fact that they regrouped and won it for the people who lost their lives, in 1968.

Why do we fall?
So we can learn to get up again.

Out.
