Random Act of Kindness

Please note that this post is very internal and not everyone could understand what the hell I am on about. If, by the end of reading this post, you find yourself confused please do not worry. It is not an insult to your intelligence, it's just the post has a very hidden cryptic message that not everyoe could understand it. Apology in advance :)

In my MC ratification speech - I was mentioning an analogy about being in AIESEC is like watching a TV without a remote control. If you don't like what you see, you have to make the effort to manually change the channel. When asked during Q&A session when was the last time I tried to "Change the channel" without hesitation I said, "Like,.. now."

Almost 4 weeks in to my new life and 10 days into my MC term (and over 5 months since the ratification), I found myself trying to change the channel but still cursing about the bad channel I have watched for the whole year. The "broadcasting standard" surely has gone downhill a lot and my eyes are still sore from watching that bad channel for far too long! The sad thing is, the bad channel hasn't always been bad. Where is the good old times when the TV channel we watch has a quality TV programmes?

It just like watching Sesame Streets one year and suddenly it changed to the Teletubbies (Mind you, I love Sesame Streets and loathe the Teletubbies so much). And to make it worse - you stuck with it while secretly hoping that it would go back to the good old Sesame Street programme!

I guess in 11 months and 20 days we will find out whether I have successfully changed the channel or bought a new TV instead.

10.00 am - Woke up

11.00 am - Yum Char at the best place for that Chinese brunch I have ever been to! Overeat because everything is sooo...oo good!

12.30 pm - Grocery shopping

1.30 pm - In need of caffeine fix! One of the cafes at Courtenay will do. Although it was quite a rip-off really - with an average coffee. Hey, it's the company that counts.

3.00 pm - A (few) games of pool. Honestly, we suck. Need to practice a lot more!

4.00 pm - Movie: The Break-Up. The last time I went to the movies was when we were watching the latest Harry Potter movie.

6.00 pm - Movie finished. It's time to go home.

Crappy weather but good companies. All and all.. an excellent day to finish a week (and start a new one!)

The FIFA World Cup 2006 is finally here! Even in a country like New Zealand, where you don't normally hear much about the beautiful game, the football matches are on all-day at the sports bar, on the news, on Channel One. I have never been exposed to this much football in New Zealand before.

Although the hype is there but something feels missing. There just isn't enough atmosphere to be imersed in the whole fad. I don't have my Dad who would stay up til 3 AM just to watch the game. There are no friends who would be discussing in a heated debate about the game the day after. There is no sport tabloid that covers all the games, the scores, the teams, the players, who goes to what round, the prediction and everything else there is to know about the World Cup and each of its game.

It has been 8 years (Yes it was FIFA World Cup 1998 in France) since the last time I feel that. You would think that I would grow out of it, wouldnt you? As I have lost touch with the football world, I might not be a huge football fan at all, I just miss the atmosphere of being surrounded by football fanatics. It is fun and believe me it is quite contagious, too!

I'm sick. :( That is why I have the time to update this blog. Now I can see why my parents are always worry- I can't take good care of mysel! D'uh.

Yesterday was a good sunny day, but today is the windiest. Ever. The wind is almost like a hurricane! The wind is making funny/weird/scary noises and to make it worse, I have to sleep in my room by myself . Ugh, it ain't fun! :S *Yea yea, I know - toughen up, Nikita!*

It's 2 AM Monday morning. I gotta get up early for work tomorrow - what the hell am I doing still up this late? Waiting for my pants to dry although the heater keeps dying out on me. Gosh, can anything goes right for once?
