I hope Uncle Chiew is happy with our progress tomorrow. I'm sick of the weekly meetings with him and it always give me and J.M goosebumps when we enter his office. I have been trying to understand the stupid research paper which has 10 examples and I have so far understood only 2 and my concepts have been so-so. It gets confusing with each example and the steps are not for the weak hearted.
I'm addicted to Nirvana and can't get over some of their songs. They are an awesome band led by the charismatic lead singer, Kurt Cobain who led a troubled life. From the lyrics, I can see that much thought has been put into it and his words still echo even after his death. His lyrics can be depressing at times and that is however the hallmark of a great musician if he can make the fan think about his lyrics.

It was weird. I will usually update my friend on the soccer results but it was the other way around. I can't believe that the New Paper will continue to dedicate 20 pages to sports especially on Sundays and Mondays when soccer is suffering a silent demise.
I was severely tested when the booze was staring at my face. I was prompted, coaxed and encouraged to take a sip but I stood my ground and did not take a single sip of the alcohol. It does more harm than good and I do not want to subject myself to the poison again. I hate to be a slave to the poison. I have begun the battle against alcohol.

I'm coping well without Soccernet and cable television considering the fact that I love to watch and catch up on soccer. The sport has lost its appeal when money took precedence over passion and more people are making and milking money out of loyal fans. I can't stay loyal to a game which is tainted and have decided to move on.People may say I'm crazy but I remain true to my conviction. These are testing times but I have to remain strong. I can't give in to unneccesary temptations.
Another burning question which has been a puzzle to me is why is John Lennon more loved than Paulie although both are great musicians and amazing song writers? After a few sms replies, I came to a conclusion through a friend that John has always been open with his ideas and is seen as anti-establishment compared to the quieter paulie and it cemented his place when he was assasinated. Think of JFK, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and Ghandi who lived on Earth for a short period of time but made an impact felt around them and the world and their assasination cemented their hero status.

Greed is the downfall of man. Greed caused the collapse of Lehman Brothers and losses for banks all over the world. It was too good to be true when the investment banks were making record profits a few years ago and the CEO bosses were earning record bonuses. The bust occurred and everyone tried to run for cover but the damage was already done. Why can't man learn from the Great Depression and be contended?
Technology is the new God. I find myself submitting to it all time.
My handphone rules me for the most part of the day. The computer is the machine which I simply cannot live without. TV is my next best companion. What more can I say?

I want to give in to my temptation but I know I should not. It's only 2 floors but I know that trip to the lounge will make me forever addicted to the crazy circus. I couldn't resist the net to check out the live score and it read 1-1. This seems harder than ever but I will survive.
Saturday nights are effectively one of the most unproductive part of the week where it's impossible to do some studying when we are supposed to be good students and catch up on revision and do some reading for next week but what if you hate the modules which you are taking? Bite the bullet and endure the pain or fuck the bullshit and live your life. Option two seems very inviting but it seems very difficult to choose.
Education comes at a price but the education I'm receiving is not worth the price. This education prepares us for tests, quizzes and exams. This education is about those who can adhere to the rules.This education is about those who can mug and those who can't. This education does not prepares us for the school of hard knocks. This education I receive in my opinion is trash. I learned more from the Godfather than from the 4 years that I spent in classes.

After Sulaiman of Abu Dhabi United bought Man City and pulled off a spectacular transfer coup by buying Robinho, I suddenly lost interest in EPL. Sulaiman also made a bold claim that the club will soon buy the best players in the market to compete for premier league honours.
This news might be good for Man City fans who can finally think of challenging their city rivals but the question of whether Abu Dhabi can stay committed to Man City remains unanswered. It's pretty scary to know that Abu Dhabi can just exit at anytime and leave the club with a mountain of wages to pay.
I have to agree that $$$ is the defining factor between champions and losers. The only clubs whom I think will win the championship are either Chelsea and Man U cos they spent a lot on quality players and the EPL is turning into a stock market where passion and loyalty takes a back seat and $$$ is The factor.
The only likely scenarios which I envision for the next few years is that the transfer wages are going to spiral out of control and the next talented player on the planet will be commanding a staggering $200 000 per week and the subscription fees and ticket prices are going to increase and the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer.
I'm not going to be a slave of this crazy circus and pay $$$ and going to do something bold which I will have never thought I will do: CANCEL my sports TV subscription.

Love
You can't explain it
You can't define it
You can't attach a meaning to it
You can savour its sweetness
You can explore its unknown
You can only understand it
if you only experience it.
(Untitled)
Fools have clained you are an imagination
Imbeciles have made money off you
either by proclaiming your prowess
or by lambasting your existence
You are judged more than anyone
You have come to realise that man become delusional
when they can't become you.
Proverbs from Inspiraci
God created imperfect man because a perfect man will be akin to being God.
Technology- the greatest timewaster of our generation.
Technology has brought the world closer and a lot dumber.
You can't explain it

Is there a God?
If million of people pray to you, whose prayers do you answer?
Do you have a yardstick to help you?
Do you do balloting
Or do you simply not answer them?
The Man with a mind
He created trouble
He broke laws
He was unconventional
He was respected not because of the things he did
but because of the unique thing he possessed
A mind of his own
Trouble-makers
Life was simple when God created the world
Life was simple when God beautified the world
Life was still simple when God created the men
Life wasn't simple after God created women
Love-Hate relationship
I long to be free from you
I yearn to break from your clutches
I want to but I can't
I still need you
I still want you
I still love you
cos no matter how much I hate you for snatching away my freedom
I still end up loving you, dear handphone
