Finally!! I am blogging at the comforts of my home instead of some teen infested cyber cafe on a lazy Sunday afternoon. But things just don't turn out well for me nowadays. Even though my PC is working now, it is mute. Something is wrong with the onboard sound card. Hope that I can get it resolve soon. I had spent near to around $250 for it's upgrading. Not to mention the countless time I had spent on it. Hope that it can at least last me till next year. Hopefully by then i can afford an IMac as I really had enough crap from Microsoft. The timing would also be nice as my niece shall be enrolling into poly around that time. This PC would be a great gift for her. I am keeping my fingers cross though as her prelims results are simply a disappointment. But then again, I think I did even worse for my prelims than her. Hopefully she can clear her mind and study real hard for her O Levels. There is still sufficient time to make a difference.
Work had not been that smooth. My colleagues are great as usual but I just can't hit my personal target. Hopefully I will be able to close a few cases soon. Wanna end the year with a bang. The only joy for me this week was Spurs hitting 2nd spot in the EPL. 9 games played and we are just behind Chelsea. Never in my wildest dreams had I dreamt of this (though to be honest, I dream more of me dying or falling down from a clif than Spurs). I think this is one of the best start we had for years. Being on top of the Gooners is simply the icing on the cake. Screw Wenger and his french legion!! Rot in HELL!!
Been reading some articles on the Sunday papers. There had been a huge furor going over the donations being given to the Nepalese twins back in 2001. The donation of over 600K was supposed to last the twins for around 8 years. Only 4 years had passed and their parents are back for more. Men are greedy by nature. To have a sudden windfall of 600K is too much a temptation for my liking. Just like what Wang Na parents had done. Upgrading their home back in China with money given to them by S'poreans who felt sympathy for what happened to their little girl. I find this disturbing. I am sure that the money being used to upgrade their home would have been put to better use for other charities. A helping hand in cases like this seems to be doing more harm than good. I think we should really think hard before donating our money. I am all for charity but after seeing what had happened to NKF and now this, more control should be in place to ensure that dononation is not being mismanage.
Some friends of mine are also too helpful for my liking. I saw shadows of me in them. Trying my very best to help even though i might not have the ability to do it. There are a group of people in this world who simply don't deserve any help. To them, your helping hand is like a wall of support which they can always fall back on. They can screw up in anyway they like as they know come end of the day, you will be there to bail them out of hell. Help come in many forms. One of my favourite sentence is " Do not give the man a fish. Give him a rod and teach him how to fish. " We can only help someone out this much. Much depends on him to work something out.
Lastly, I notice that some of the visitors to my blog are from the US and Canada. Not sure how u guys get to know of my blog but hope that my blog is not boring out you guys. Feel free to leave a message or something.
Let It Go
I think we've been here before
I recognize this place
I've seen the marks of confusion
wipe out a single sign of grace
And I don't want to play anymore
Not when the stakes are so high
So before we circle round once more
I'm gonna lay down,
Lay down my pride
Let it go, let it be
Don't waste all your emotion on this
tit-for-tat machine
Let it go, let it be
Let it go
I turn on the TV
and it screams out at me
Nothing seems to have changed
since the start of Adam and Eve
So we're waiting for the sky to fall
and we're buying brand new toys
But before we circle round once more
Can we lay down
Just lay down this pride
Let it go, let it be
Don't waste all your emotion on this
tit-for-tat machine
Let it go, let it be
Let it go
Don't go wasting your emotions
No one wins if we keep score
Let it go, let it be
Let it go
You can take a picture of something you see. In the future where will I be?
