Hello all, Kumar here. I figured its about time I started contributing to the blog and what better time than now!
I'm sure all of you will agree today was quite a happening day. The Cage was footballing ecstasy - congrats to the victorious Team A who narrowly clinched the title with 11pts. Of course i'll be biased and say my team, Team B, lost out narrowly on 9pts. To the 4pt back-enders, you guys should blame Selva for not turning up..haha. I thought your team was the strongest on paper, but the pitch is flat and the ball is round, so anything can happen. Better luck next time. Also kudos to sharpshooters Alvin Litmanen, Avan van Psychorooy and Amendi (wah, all the name start with A) for your individual 3 goal hauls and the courageous rocks on the last line of defence, particularly Ronin and Talen. And of course, thanks to Amendi for making it happen.
I always say "when there is a part 1, there is always a part 2" and it blew me away. I think I speak for Rashid too when I thank each and every one of you(literally) from the bottom of our hearts - Alvin, Amanda,Psycho,Lulu,Teh,Yussof,Terence,Teh,Ah Du, He Quan, Kati and AngHeng. A 22nd/23rd birthday party at a kids party room at McDonalds; only GMH has the genius and audacity to pull of such awesome feats! Hahah! The games were damn fun and everyone was such a good sport. Alot of people keep saying we're getting old 'cos we're into our 20s now, but I beg to differ. We're only as old or as young as we want to be and besides, our life expectancies are well into the 70s so we should all be looking forward to hitting the prime of our lives.
On a more personal note, I know I sometimes say or do things which don't go down well with people. I just happen to be an opinionated, strong-minded individual who trys to live with his many flaws and be the best damn version of himself for the people around him. I want to make a real difference to society one day. If you have a comment or point to make, I welcome feedback..haha. My favorite movie quote is "beneath this mask there is more than flesh, there is an Idea. And Ideas, are bulletproof." [V for Vendetta- 2006] - and i'd like to think I live up to that to a tiny extent. But the events of the past week did make me shed some tears behind my 'Agent Smith' shades on the way home today. This post is titled Nothing Else Matters 'cos that's always been my song for this clique. Its a moving ballad by Metallica whose lyrics describe extremely accurately how I feel about all of us. Once again, Thank you all very much.
Nothing Else Matters - Metallica
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do never cared for what they know
and I know
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters

Well said Agent Smith.. I too was touched when an idea stemmed from boredom and a streak of insanity DID happened thanks to Amanda. :) Being there in the initial planning process, I thought the idea was scrapped (aiyo, never update me one ah.. haha! hush-hush top secret, need to know basis? hehe)
Loved the party..Never had one in my life and now I can proclaim to the world! woohhoo! Niways, u guys are great, being good sports. I enjoy being with kids and acting like one! Having the party create a cataclysmic mix of emotions that made me stoned for days.. haha! It also made me reminisce the days when things were simple and nothing cared except you being yourself. As we grow, we are taught slowly to conform to societal norms and acceptable behaviours that sometimes we might have lost ourselves and our youthful innocence. Aww.. thanks guys for being good friends who share the same beliefs and values in life. May we still smile and say hellos decades from now.. :)
About the soccer, sorry to my team coz I wasn't on form. Found it stupid that i got shagged so soon and felt faint at a point. Alonso, the musical chair king :P 9and maybe amandy.. )know the real story.. had a rough week with NDP, duty and all and got by sleeping 3-4 hours a day. The saturday before that was worse. Jam packed with activities and to find an answer, decode the poem if u like.. (Nandha, V is into Lit.. i tink u can decode.. haha!)
Like friendship forge
things come and go.
Nothing lasts as much
little time to grieve;
and soon i know it's time to leave.
Will u remember me as summer comes
when winter hides the brazen sun.
Felt like I lost something new
tho' I'm with friends, good friend like you.
Cheers! ;)
Nice one sops..hats off to you.
