Felt really bad today. Played chess using SC account and completely destroyed my opponent. Didn't even wayang here and there to make him think he had a chance.

And that was really unfair, since a player of my ranking is not even allowed to play with that opponent normally. (it is forbidden by the rules) It was almost like Liu Xiang participating in a hurdles competition against JC students. That was how unfair it was.

Reflected on myself after that game. Is this the kind of person that I want to be in the future, preying on the weak? I find myself disgusted with the possibility. Which really brings up to my point here: do we realise the consequence of what we do in our normal lives?

We ask our teachers, classmates, even the cleaning auntie next door on answers to things like quizzes, tests, and all that, just to score an A for the paper. Is that right? That smacks of lack of integrity and cheating.

Some may argue that it is only fair to ask for these answers since others will do it as well, and they are doing that to ensure an even playing field. I ask: If people are eating dung, will you eat it as well?

The fact that others do it gives us no reason to do it ourselves. Do we really want to live in a world where we are continually finding out ways to use shortcuts instead of working for it ourselves?

Sun Tzu, or some great chinese philosopher once said: "Great is the man who knows how to use stratagems to advance himself. Greater is the man who knows of these stratagems but refuses to use them", and I fully agree with him.

The satisfaction from a 'B' worked for far exceeds the 'A' which comes out of dubious means.

Trust me.

Thought of some lame riddle after reading Derek's and Priscilla's blogs. Care to guess?

Who can claim to be I?
Unique and special I, my first is but a poor cousin thrice removed.
Different my second is, estranged from its brothers,
It is missing from this most unusual line.
Zebras favor not my third; neither do
Horses, yet mares do, and I wonder why.
Ordinary four,
Not flower, not grass, but a mirror image of a tree.
Go east, west or south you may, but never
Possibly can you find my fifth.
Arrange the letters in descending
Order, and perhaps you may figure out my whole.

Lol, there are two things present in the riddle. Try guessing. I think you probably can get one but not the other.

I know I really should not be blogging now. But if I don't get this off my chest, I don't think I can function and work properly.

The below is a satire on something which if you should know, you will know. If you don't... Ask me personally and I may tell you.

Long ago there was this god who was an ardent supporter of Leads United, his celestial football club. He created the land known as happy happy land with 4 kakis chosen to rule the land. They are: The Dragon King, the Crown Prince, the Spinning Princess, and the scholar from hazy land.

One day, they decide to plan a gala dinner. The Dragon King thought it was a fine idea, and got the Crown Prince to seek blessings from their god together. The Dragon King did several things, such as coordinating the committees formed, but left the bulk of the work to the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince then struggled valiantly to organise the gala dinner, and tried getting the other two kakis to help.

The princess was more supportive of forming a bank to suck some cash, and when her scheme failed, migrated to red hair land to sulk.

The scholar was nowhere to be found. Enough said.

The Crown prince, in his desperation, resorted to finding several jokers to help him do his work. The people were pissed, but they did it, on account for the Crown Prince's own dedication.

I am but a minute peon in the scheme of things, not involved in the chain of command at all. Yet I am responsible for doing this shit.

Why the hell am I doing all this things? My' superiors', with the exception of one, are doing nothing at all but to 'supervise'. I owe nothing to them, I owe nothing to the organisation, I owe nothing to the Leads United supporter.

What the fish man. I am not in the ruling elite, so why do I have to do this sai kang? Why not let the princess do the job? Why not let the person originally in charge of my section do it. Oh my god, I forgot, they are in a far away place mingling with the red-hairs! Oh dear, how could I possibly make such an error. I don't know what to think. Perhaps happy happy land isn't so happy afterall.

Completely fictional, as always, dear readers.

I realise that my blog post below might be perceived as insulting or rude to some people. For those offended, I sincerely offer you my apologies, and recognise that you have a right to choose your own way to live, be it vastly different from mine.

From the bottom of my heart, sorry.

Lol, had the inspiration to blog after checking out on some other people blogs.

Sometimes, I wonder how people can keep cheonging ahead. (Maybe their surname is Cheong)

Got to hand it to these people man. Don't they need time for rest? Doing things like intricately planning class outings, organising CIPs and the like. What gives them the drive to do such things?

Is it for their CVs? Is it for the satisfaction involved? Or something else entirely?

But whatever the case maybe, we really ought to thank these people. Without them, how can slackers and lamers like me thrive?

With the presence of these paragons of virtue, we can safely procrastinate in the knowledge that we still have someone to watch our asses.

To be frank though, I think that their lives are actually quite sad. Rushing like a bullet train for far ahead destinations, not stopping for anyone, anything. Not stopping for those slackers strolling behind, or the bright meadows they hurriedly pass though.

Life is short. The past is the past and cannot be retrieved. The future is still uncertain and there is no point waiting for it.

Live life for the present, man.

I got it.

I have found the path that I am looking for.

To hell with the nagging doubts and worries that I have at the back of my head.

This is it.

There can only be one winner, and I don't intend to lose.

Watch out.

Lamergoat is back in action.
