Housework

It never fail to amuse me when missus does the housework... It seems that doing the housework allows her to have the authority to get back at me. Every little movement that i made in the house seems to incur her wrath. I sometimes wonder if she feels bad at her outburst. It is always in incremental and minute movements that i manage around the house when she is at work; to cause her less distress and concern to see me relaxing. However, that does not mean i don't help out around the house often. In fact, i do! Just that today, after my soccer game, i have got to go work to ensure safe and expeditious flow of traffic in Changi airport. So i bath and rested to be ready for work in an hour's time. Missus became a little agitated by the fact that me bathing without asking her or stepping into the EXTREMELY clean room without her permission has broken her authority. Timid as i am, i ask permission to lie on the bed with the laptop and type this passage.

"I m a christian, I don't lie"

Today i had a soccer game and what one of my buddy said greatly affected me.

"I am a Christian, I don't lie." Rather simple yet powerful words spinning along many implications and many meanings behind it.

I was rather angry at what he said over a seeming trivial matter like whether the ball hit the crossbar or the other metals parts of the goal post that would have rendered the ball to be out of bounds. So i said in a jest, "Nope, it's the crossbar." He insisted that the ball was out of bounds, of which i denied again. Then out came the famous words. "I am a Christian, I don't lie."

By saying that, do u mean that i lied, for the sake of a simple leisurely Sunday game of soccer?

I have got nothing against him or his faith but i felt that by saying what he did he has put me in a lower pedestal of moral values. That i lied so that i can have a simple ball thrown in from the corner of the court. I felt that he has put me down and insulted me and he has because of this incident a high moral authority over me because "I am a Christian, I dun lie!". That because i am not one, i would not be fit to be view in the same manner and be judged by others in the same fashion as he would have to be because he is always up there, regardless; he is a christian, he does not lie.

We all do have prejudices against people. Whether it is in the form of religion, colour of the skin, foreign talents but we have to be a little more aware that anything that makes you feel that you are up there higher in the moral values and standing than other people makes you carry a very heavy burden. A burden so big that it is so hard to "I dun lie!" at all. You dun lie? At all?

That is a very heavy burden to undertake and if that is your wish i fully respect that but i hope you would see things in a lighter light and do lie once in a while, maybe to get you out of trouble and get you the extra day off you need by going to see the doctor.

This incident affected me quite a little that i had to log it down in my almost untouched blog for me to keep a account and as a guidance to myself that, "I am not a Christian, i did not lie in that instance too." You and me both know no answers but judging by the reactions of the people around the ball, no one remarked that it hit other metals poles. I may have lied many instances in my life to get MCs for the extra day off, to tell people they are not fat, their house in really very nice, the bride is very beautiful, many many others more. I am a liar BUT i dun think you are in any way a much better person or worse person than me in anyway. I thought we were always equal till i heard, "I am a Christian, I don't lie"

乐

你想要我完成，但我没办法感觉快了

那讽刺的话，我无言已对

冷言冷语，有是何必

你觉得的简单是我极度的绊脚石

我过不了我的围墙

不要让我满脸鼻灰

我要你也快乐，但我不想自己十分不快乐

Friends

Bintan trip ended. One of the few pictures that had all of us in it, though our faces cannot be identified, i believe that by looking at the mid-rift area, identification of a few should not be too difficult a task. Endless games of energy draining soccer and constant exposure to the relentless UV rays resulted in the tanned muscular bodies stricken with bruises and injuries. The toughness has even resulted in paranoidal attacks on YY. "Have you charged the buggy?"

Years have passed but we guys still managed to stick it together and be part of each other lives. We had knew one other since the tender age of 13, some knew others better than the others but we all in our own way keep the bond together. It is by no means a easy task. The trip organised by YY was fantastic and the next shall be set in motion with Ah Na as the OIC.

People do not understand why we guys keep the group as original as it is. To the extent that we exclude the wives and girlfriends. Outsiders do not understand. For me there is only one reason.

"Gals are too complicated for a simple group of men who grew up together as children and wants nothing more out of life other than that of completing and be part of the lives of his true friends around him"
