The unfairness continues. Last week, it was late night after late night, while a certain someone could stay at home all day for a few days, and still apparently doing absolutely no good. Yes, it's not like my eyesight is anywhere average - it's awful -, and I'm sure it just got a hell lot worse.

Then over the last two days, what I thought would be progress made has turned out to be time wasted. I guess, it happens in life. It's hard to take. I do not blame all but one. Ok, another one. And another one. No more. It's just frustrating. And it's proving to be an acid test for my temper. Yes, I get frustrated often watching football, but the frustration ends right on the night itself. This is different, and is perhaps why I am borrowing more books on Murphy's Laws.

Yes, I know it is busy. It's easy to underestimate, especially when your mathematics ain't too good. Yes, I know, 2 wrongs don't make a right, and delaying everyone else would just result in more negative externalities. So, I understand. That's why I am not angry with them. But still, there is a need to correct the wrong, one way or another, other than saying sorry. Saying you are sorry and not doing anything else, is also similar to saying 'no offence' and then hurtling expletive after expletive.
And just to remind ourselves of a simple fact of human survival - we CAN survive without food for half a day. (Shocking isn't it). In fact, we can survive without food for a dozen half-days. Or maybe even more. Whatever.

Yes, the burden is getting increasingly heavy over time, but still, there is no need to spread the weight around. It deserves to be where all of it is. It is a tough, tough world.

I really should get a hold of myself. After all,
Ahab died trying to kill Moby Dick, didn't he?

Ok, feeling much better now after spending some time on the phone. Thanks.=)
Btw, Arsenal won 1-0 against Man City and 3-0 against Sparta Prague. Still the most memorable event of the week was Sevilla defender Puerta's death after spending 3 days in hospital since his collapse during a football match. It is indeed saddening, and really, I have gotten extremely frustrated recently but such a story has really softened my heart. The lad is 22 years old, just won the UEFA Cup, is almost about to break into the spanish national team, and has a girlfriend who is pregnant for 7 months, and then..........the unfortunate happened. It is indeed a sad story and after reflecting through it, it truly makes me appreciate the things I have going for me. Yes, this is a far from perfect world, and this is a far from fair world with people having immense hatred towards people, with people around who don't lack morals, including me. But, to know that footballers all around have been paying tributes, dedicating goals to him, and even Real Betis (who are bitter rivals of Sevilla) fans paying their respects, is touching. It really shows how silly the footballing world sometimes is, what with Chelsea willing to pay 85 million for Ronaldinho who wouldn't even fit into their defensive strategy, Manchester allowing Heinze to join any club except Liverpool, with teams playing at the Emirates Stadium try to do nothing except kick Arsenal players and break their passing game, and worse of all, the spending sprees of the WAGs (wives and girlfriends). Football really encompasses. And it is these touching stories, another one being how Drogba (as much as I hate him for being such a darn good Chelsea player) managed to stop civil war in his country, the Ivory Coast, which truly inspire me most, even more than seeing Liverpool comeback against Milan in 2005. And then there is Iraq winning the Asia cup, which I am sure would go a long way into helping them improve their state of affairs.

Now I still don't know where I should go on what would be a busy tomorrow, which will probably end up in a similar way to Beckham's transatlantic travels from California to London and back in 4 days, except it isn't 4 days. Tomorrow is less than one....
