A mix of the happier stuffs and not so happy stuffs

I am wondering if I should start blogging the happier or the not-so-happy (*heavier but senseless*) stuffs. I wanted to start with the happier stuffs first because it's more enjoyable blogging about them but then I think it's so mean of me to end the blog entry with such senseless and pointless stuffs.

I am...

Laughing while typing this entry..

And wondering while tying this entry.

Anyway, I happen to be watching some old MVs of our Singapore songs. Songs like "We Are Singapore", "Where I belong", "Home" and "Count on me Singapore". Listening to them nearly made me cry. I used to love these songs. I used to feel so much singing all these songs and I used to be very patriotic. Like really. But that was years ago.

Because I look around now, things aren't the same anymore. I know things change. But changing for the better or the worst is a whole lot different thing. Singapore is more like a hotel than my sunny island I call home. The increase in foreign talents/workers have been changing things. I do not care if they are holding jobs/snatching jobs from us or not since I am not working now. But the ability to get the Singapore Citizenship makes me a Singapore citizen worthless. I mean, rarity = invaluable. But anyone can come over to get that citizenship (*that is how I see*). I am at peace with most nationals. But even at home, I have what I call personal space which I seriously need - my study room where I can do my own things and change the furniture and the decorations in there. That is what I call personal space. That is the same of myself living in my own country. There isn't something to identify myself with now.

There are times I wonder if the government is taking the short cut to things. But I then again, I know nuts about running the country. To increase the compeition to increase the standard in Singapore, they bring in foreign elites to pressure us. This reminds me of parents pressurizing their children by comparing them with better children and end up? Their kids snap and things go so wrong it's impossible to change. To battle the decrease in babies in Singapore, they allow foreigners to bring their family along - to increase the population in Singapore. Perhaps, that is why the number of babies still refuse to go up. There is no need for us Singaporeans to give birth anyway since the government will bring them in. But the problem is, saying such things don't make a difference! Things remain that way. =D Things would be best if we could migrate. =D

On the happier note, there have been many happier things happening to me. (*Using the happier and not happy because they are happier than normal but not exactly to the stage of happy*) Some notable things are my results and liverpool's results and some travelling plans.

After Liverpool's win against Real Madrid, they went on to beat the Man United in Old Trafford. =D A nice score of Liverpool 4 - Man United 1. I ddn't catch the match because I was working at the IT Show. Honestly, if I had known that the dates would clash, I would forgo the chance of earning more money. Because to me, time is more important than money. Don't question my logic, you can't change it! =D Super happy! =D It made me smile like an idiot during the IT Show.

Liverpool 4

Torres - 28′ GOAL! Terrible play from Vidic (don’t see that happen too often) on the long-ball to Torres. Torres goes in all alone, and he beats Van der Sar easily. Vidic misjudged the ball and whiffed horribly on it, allowing Torres to get in behind him. That’s a shocker. (*Taken from : Soccerlens.com*)

Gerrard - 44′ GOAL! Gerrard steps up and Van der Sar starts jawing at him. Gerrard sends it low and to his right, and Van der Sar guesses correctly, but can’t keep it out. Gerrard then kisses the badge and Liverpool fans are feeling good. (*Taken from :Soccerlens.com*)

Aurelio - 76′ GOAL! Aurelio takes the free kick from the edge of the box, and it’s a wonderfully struck ball that curls over the wall and Van der Sar doesn’t even move as it goes into the net! (*Taken from :Soccerlens.com*)

Position: Defender

Dossena - 90′ + 1 GOAL Not sure how this happened. Long goal kick from Reina and it’s more sloppiness from the United defense. This time O’Shea is the culprit as he misjudges the bounce and Dossena gets behind him. He chips it over Van der Sar’s head and he’s helpless to do anything besides watch it go in. Actually, Van der Sar hasn’t had a bad afternoon despite the 4 goals. He was hung out to dry on the first goal, nearly stopped the penalty, and was helpless on the last two goals. Not much consolation to him, I’m sure.(*Taken from :Soccerlens.com*)

Pictures credited to Liverpoolfc.tv. =D No choice but to take pictures from there because I like these shots. =D Happy? You bet! =D Would be happier if I can catch the match!

And, I just got back my results this morning at 8.04am! The SMS system always bring good news which I love.

=D I was actually expecting much of a B or a B+ because of my team members, I was more of the slacker. =X But great! And I can't complain much AS MUCH AS I want to because it's only a slight increase in grades anyway.

And another thing is, we got through to the top 16 to round 2 of Software developement. Good start. =D

And, travelling plans have been confirmed and booked! This is one good news because I have been yearning to get out of this concrete jungle ever since I came back from the 42-days Beijing trip. =D

In this entry, there are more red than blue, which means, it's a happy post! =D
