I don't normally make New Year resolutions, but this year I've decided to make a few to (hopefully) improve myself in the future :)

1. Run more...
2. Stop being so dense when it comes to relationships...
3. Say "yes" more often...

The last will be my most important.

4. I've got to start putting my friends, or rather, those who care about me, ahead of those who don't. I learnt this rather recently. I've got to stop trying to impress people who clearly don't give a crap about me, and start putting those who mean the most to me first, instead of taking them for granted like I have been.

Yup, =)

Okay back to listening to the Mediacorp artistes killing various songs on TV. My god...

They should invite Resonance to sing for them. Or ANYONE else. Seriously...

I just want to offer my fullest support to Steven Gerrard going through this difficult period; I'm sure all Liverpool fans will.

You'll never walk alone, Stevie G!

Been wanting to blog about this for a long time already...

People who know me know that I always complain about discourteous Singaporeans, e.g. those who block the entire width of the sidewalk and walk really slowly, those who smoke in particularly crowded areas when they're not supposed to, or those who shove their way into MRTs, not letting people alight etcetc.

Well last week, I observed something that gave me a warm feeling all over.

Wen Jia and I had just taken a very long train ride from Pasir Ris, from the Resonance Chlamp, all the way back to Clementi. With the lack of sleep and the super long journey, by the time we exited the train, we were bleary eyed and ready to collapse.

We didn't notice the blind man walking alongside us. Okay not exactly alongside us, but further away laterally. Such that he was walking towards the wall. We didn't notice it till he was tapping the wall and nearly walking into it.

That was when a woman ran forward and grabbed him to prevent him from crashing into the wall. Wen Jia and I assumed that the woman had something to do with the blind man, like she was his caretaker or relative or something, but on the escalator down, we overheard her asking him where he stays, how he's going to get back, and offering to take him to the bus interchange and wait with him until his bus comes.

Wow.

I really admire that woman. How many people observed that blind man walking in the wrong direction yet did not lift a finger to help him, but she was so quick to help and not only help in that particular instance, but help him all the way to the end... There's a chinese saying about this right?

Though I'm not Christian, I feel like saying...

God bless that woman :)

I just realized something.

Everytime I play on that team there are effing double standards set for me.

Whenever someone else makes a mistake, or does make a poor decision, they don't care and just play on. The moment I make a mistake, they get on my back.

If that game was "just a kickabout", why were they constantly screaming at me whenever I got the ball? You know how much pressure there is? It's as if they anticipate that I'm going to make a mistake, and instead end up adding more pressure on to me. When it's "just a kickabout", and someone ELSE makes a mistake, they just kid around with him, maybe make fun of him a while, but with me, it's always screaming and scolding.

It's freaking double standards. Everytime they lose, if I played, they somehow always attribute it to me. If it's not my fitness, then they'll blame me for making mistakes or for swearing too much on the field. As if swearing will affect their play.

And when I play well? Nobody says anything. Not even a pat on the back, or some words to give confidence. It's like they expect me to play well ALL the time. How screwed up can that be? They believe themselves to be FAR better than me, but I'm not given any room to make mistakes. See the flaw in logic there? No, I don't think any of you will.

F*** it. That girl who warned Michael off all of you on the bus that day was right. I should stay away from all of you.

I should have done so a long time ago.

And I bet any of them who read this will then come up with a perfect excuse to mask everything and make themselves look like angels. Whatever. You can believe what you want. Thing is, I never enjoyed playing with you guys. And not just because you guys always LOSE.

I'm not doing too well at the moment.

Ever wonder how life works? When things are going great, everything seems to go smoothly... When the going gets tough, everything seems to work out wrong...

Maybe that's why people say that life is full of ups and downs. It's cumulative.

I must be a very stupid person.

Even when I find a subject or exam paper relatively easy, I never do better than the average of the cohort.

My best is usually... The average. Or just above. Or just below.

Just... Average.

I hate that.

When you can't get your first (or second, or third...) choice personnel, I'm the one you want!

When you need someone to make up the numbers, you can believe that I'm your man!

When you've exhausted all your options, you can always assume that I'll be there for you!

You don't have to remember me... I'll only come into your thoughts if you ever need me for my services!

I'm the...

I judge certain people over certain things too quickly. It's really unfair on the person involved cos I don't really give him or her a chance before forming an opinion of him/her or his/her works.

I realize personal feelings should not get in the way of these things, and no matter how I do not like him/her as a person, I should accept his abilities for what they are, and not be prejudiced.

Otherwise that will be just plain unfair and disgusting, and I'm ashamed of myself for having done that.

I promise myself this, I will try to change.
