For what is a man, what has he got

If not himself, then he has naught

To say the things he truly feels

And not the words of one who kneels......

Life can be full of shit sometimes. I've just endured a very bad week, where I have been working my ass off helping out in organising this futsal tournament, and at the end of the day, I get in the middle of a clash of conflicting egos.

It really hurts that in life, the good guy always seems to lose. I came in with good intentions, without my efforts I strongly feel the project would fail (it still could), at the end of the day I get a blasting off from an idiotic president who knows next to nuts about what's going on and all sorts of nasty accusations are thrown at me, because (I suspect) that I'm being seen as taking sides with the arch-enemy, our Vice President. I'm pretty sure I've never lost my temper like the way I lost it on the president (who happens to be a lady).

Yea, I really shouldn't be spilling the beans over what's been happening, it'll be unprofessional of me to tell the world (not a very big blog audience here though), but at this point in time, I've lost most of my respect and all trust in the president. It hurts when an equal dares to boss you around, and lies to you time and time again, unfairly accuses you, and gives you no recognition of your efforts. And all the time trying to cover-up her own faults and weaknesses. As a friend, yea, I understand if she's got any personal issues to settle, but when it comes to work, she bloody well better get her job done well.

It sickens me to see how people can set so low quality standards for their work, how they can't see straight, how they can't accept others' views, how they can distort truth just to cover up their faults, how they feel they have the God-given right to boss people around, how they can tell you outright lies after having you treat them as a trusted friend.

Hell, yea, I've been betrayed. My friends, learn that life is never fair, choose your friends wisely and don't EVER put idiots in leadership positions.

Today, the last day of our break. Tomorrow, back to college.

It's not gonna be as bad as last semester, in terms of how hectic our schedule's gonna be. God-willing (if I don't fail papers), I'm gonna be doing just 2 papers this semester. Audit and Tax.

So... how did I spend my last day? Markus messaged me in the afternoon, telling that there was this MMU World Universities Debate Quarterfinals at the National Library. Yea, it did sound very interesting, but what struck me first was that I hadn't heard anything at all in the local media... Hmmm.

Turns out it was gonna be quite a frustrating afternoon. At the National Library, we were told that the debates were only in the morning, nothing was on in the afternoon. So, we checked the website. Indeed, there were sessions scheduled for 4pm, held simultaneously in the National Art Galery, the PWTC and of course, the Library. There was no phone number stated on the website.

We headed over to the Art Gallery, no debate. The PWTC, no debate. Damn. Well, at least I can now say that I've been to the Library and the Art Gallery. Hehe. The Library, hmmm. I felt quite disappointed. It wasn't impressive at all. Didn't seem to have a condusive reading environment. Or maybe it's just me.

We then went over to the National Museum, a place I've been aching to visit for a while. We didn't have much time to visit the museum itself as it was approaching closing time, so we just viewed the Malay World Museum. Hmmm, interesting eh?

Anyways, time to hit the pillow now. Damn. Can hardly believe we're going back to college....

It's been what... nearly 3 weeks since my last entry...

It's been a short holiday period, as usual, and I kinda made sure I chilled out as much as possible. Got home late nearly every night, 've been meeting up with various groups of old friends at mamaks and house parties. Trips to Genting and Malacca. Yup, it's been fun.

Only thing I kinda regret a little is the fact that I haven't read much, which was what I was hoping to do over the hols. I've finished Grisham's 'King of Torts', currently reading Stephen Covey's '7 Habits'. Kinda thought of writing my personal 'mission statement', as per his recommendation, but haih, tak jadi, malas. Holidays wert ?

Spent New Year's Eve by going over to the Buddhist temple in Brickfields to volunteer at the tsunami relief collection centre. Turns out there was more than enough manpower there, so I just went out to the public square and stood for a while they carried out their memorial service for tsunami victims. At the end of it, they turned off the lights for the minute of silence, then lotus candles were lit and placed in front of the buddhas. (i refrained from this, of cuz). It was solemn, and meaningful, I felt.

Then, I went over to DUMC with Mabel (collegemate), Jon, LiJune, MunYin. The same bunch of us headed over to Mosin TTDI for a drink, where we met up with Markus too.

Yup, quiet new year. It's back to college on Monday. Hmmm...

Eh hey! Spurs won big again, this time Everton's the poor victim.... 5-2! yea baby yea!!!

How quickly can our mood change.

I was in a daze, too exhausted to think much, fingers aching after 3 hours of writing... And as I walked past the door, suddenly a revelation dawned upon me. Something that didn't occur to me 'cause I was too caught up in the moment. Suddenly I realised.... I was a free man! I actually shouted quite loudly and I do regret that, by the way.

So it's like that. My exams are finally over. God knows the frustration I've been going through, and God also knows how relieved, how happy I was at the end of it. I'm finally free to do anything I want (and i will) for the next 2 weeks, before we go back for another round.

I've been spending the past few nights out. On tues night, it was for a drink then DOTA. Hehe, it was my first time, boy wasn't it fun? Then party at K Jin's on wed night and Rush last night.

Gonna be doing a bit of reading this hols, if I can indeed resist the constant urge to go out....
