I won't back down

33 years "young" today. Its the morning after. My beloved Reds lost again :((shucks!no 3 points and the Near Nirvana feeling) Didn't sleep well. Was thinking about my life so far and of course a large portion of the thought centred around the Reds. I kept telling myself that I should be satisfied with my life so far. I've got my lovely family, a good career, a bunch of great mates and etc...But I would have love it so much to see the Reds do what they did when I started falling in love with them - Dominating the league and Europe. Will my wish come true? Regardless... I'll Never Walk Alone :)

Oh God!

I am getting desperate... We have suffered for years since when our beloved Kenny D left after the Hillsborough Disaster took its toll on him, since Graeme Souness introduced his changes too fast and broke up an ageing but still great team... False dawns after false dawns since then, with the latest being the all talk and no action, 'dumb and dumber' new co-owners... All hard earned profits we made are used to service the debts they have incurred. My beloved Reds are in tatters and I really pray that divine intervention happens soon. YNWA

Obsession

The downside of it is the hollowness you feel when things are not going well. You have nothing or no one that can help you take the pain off your mind.

The upside is when things go well, you are as close as you can be to Nirvana. Joy and fulfilment burst your heart

Why do I bother? Cos its my religion! YNWA

Too obvious?

Since I was posted back to HQ on the 1st October, many colleagues from other departments have been telling me that I look a world of difference from when I was still in my last post. When I asked them to elaborate, the replies would contain words like "radiant", "looks happier", "less stressed". Hahahaha...am I being too obvious? You mean I have it written all over my face?

Hearts of the Lions

Today is the first day of work in my new workplace. Well it should be old workplace as I am going back to where I started out - Technology Department. And the first highlight of my return was the news I received that the Op LH contingent is very likely to be activated for the overseas mission to Indonesia. I am part of contingent for this quarter (Oct to Dec 09). I immediately sms-ed my wife to inform her. She freaked out. Then about an hour later, I got the news that the Contingent has indeed been activated but my Director had pulled me out of it because of the many tasks awaiting me to take over. Somehow, I was filled with quite a bit of disappointment. In contrast, my wife was elated when I sms-ed that I was pulled out from the contingent. Its been 1 1/2 years since my second overseas missions in Sichuan and I thought I would be experiencing the very meaning and fulfilling mission again this time. As I am writing, I have just gotten a message that the Contingent has just flown off from PLA. I wish my comrades a safe and successful Op LH...
