Running
Though my legs are aching like hell now after Tuesday's 12km run, i still love 2 run. It's like adrenalin, a sudden rush of blood, in terms of my interest in running nowadays. Apparently last time, i hated running 2 � core, i can't even run i must say. I'm surprised with my enthusiasm in running recently, so much so tht it's pretty unbelieveable. I guess it's becauz of tis 1 time where i managed 2 complete � top few in my unit, which made me overjoyed. H/e, my unit is not a combat unit, so i guess � standards are still pretty low as compared 2 those of combat units.

But am a little worried wth my knees & ankles, they seem 2 be wearing out before i even reach � 21km mark. Wonder whether i can really take up � challenge of running tht distance. Nevertheless, can't wait for � nxt run man, hopefully my perserverence hangs on in there.

On a side note, am doing Guard Duty on National Day & it's my 1st as Guard 2IC, which is...*sigh*. H/e, will get a day off, so it ain't tht bad. Besides, there shldn't be much work for Guard 2IC on holidays, i hope. Hafta look on � bright side i suppose, till then......

Hatred grows...
I absolutely detest my Bro, i seriously do. He brought his frens over 4 Mahjong session again, for � 3rd time in tis entire week. I really can't stand it, but there's nothing i can do. Complaining won't work since � only thing tht happens is a scolding frm either my Mum or Aunt, afterwhich, not before long, he'll bring his pals over again. Well i really give up hope on him, i can't be bothered 2 care for him anymore. � only reason i'm keeping quiet abt all these, is becauz my Mum did tell me tht no matter how angry i am with my Bro, he's afterall my Bro & tht my Mum dotes on him more than she does on me.

A space of my own
I really wish i cld hve a room 2 myself, a computer 2 myself, a TV equipped with Cable TV 2 myself, clothes of my own which i don't need 2 get worried whether my Bro will dirty or destroy it, etc. Mayb i've grown up & i wanna hve my own privacy or at least i can still surf � net in my room, even though my Bro brings his pals over for Mahjong. I mean i cld be less angry with him, if only i cld hve a room of my own, a space of my own. Guess stayin in hostel wldn't be a bad idea, since i don't need 2 put up with my Bro's activities. Besides, he can bring his pals over everyday if he wanna or mayb set up a gambling den.

I've decided 2 give up thinking abt certain stuff, it's too tiring. I'm surrendering, you can say tht. If it's meant 2 be, it's meant 2 be, no point in forcing it 2 happen when it's not gonna happen. I guess no matter how hard i try, my flaws in character will always obstruct me. I guess i don't hve much perserverence in me.

Hate
I hate my Bro, i really do. He really does alot of things tht pissed me off. And � sad thing is i can't do anything abt it, or i can't be bothered 2 do anything. He brings his pals ever so often back home 2 play mahjong, which deprives me of my internet usage. As a result, since i had nothing better 2 do, i went 2 sleep at around 9.30pm for � past 2 days.

I mean if he brings them over during public holidays or festive seasons, it's understandable. But when you bring them over like 2 or 3 days in a row, doesn't it make � house more of a gambling den & less of a home? Come on, you are studying now but all you know how 2 do is 2 play mahjong, aren't you like wasting your parents money on  your education? You know you aren't making much money, but you still smoke, gamble, & splurge on luxury items, instd of saving up, isn't tht ridiculous? � saddest thing is tht you still hafta take money from your Mum, when you are already like 25 years old? Don't you think tht you are wasting your time? I suggest you better wake up before it's too late.

Other than tht, he doesn't take care of my stuff which are shared between � both of us. Tis really pissed me off, esp if it's something tht i really like alot. I mean when i use your stuff, i do take care of it & i expect you 2 at least do � same. But whenever i see my stuff after you have used them, it's always dirtied or spoilt etc. I mean, i don't mind lending things to you for usage, but at least take care of it, tht's � only thing i expect in return. Is it very demanding?

Sometimes i really wish i cld hve my own room, my own space & my own stuff. Mayb you can say i'm selfish, but 2 me, i jus feel tht i treasure my things more & tend 2 take great care of them. Don't you? Too bad my Mum's not on my side, she dotes on my Bro more. It's something i've come 2 realise quite sometime ago & proven when my Mum said it herself. It's quite sad, but it's a fact & i hafta accept it. I don't blame my Mum, since i'm � bad tempered one, � one who doesn't seem 2 have any of my parents' genes, � one who has more health problems as compared 2 my Bro, which means more money spent etc.

Sometimes i wonder whether my Mum really gave birth 2 me or adopted me instd, cauz i'm so different from � family. I'm hurt by my Mum's biased-ness (if there's such a word), but i guess i deserve it. Mayb i've sinned too much tht's why i'm getting all tis shit now. Tis is wat i call payback time, i suppose.

Besides feeling shitty at home, i feel shitty being a friend too. I've been giving tis fucked up attitude 2 most of my friends, esp 2 close pals of mine. I sincerely apologise for it, but you can't really blame me with all these going on in my life. Nothing's really going smooth, i'm troubled, alone & lost. Sometimes i really wish i wasn't born like tht or even born at all, sometimes i really wish i was dead. I never thought of committing suicide, since i'm a coward, so getting into an accident or get struck by lightning wld be preferrable. Sudden death, yes, tht's wat i wld call it.

I feel tht i don't deserve 2 live on tis earth, i really do. It's a torture for me 2 live here as well as a torture to those who know me. I'm like a pest, a menace, a person whom people wld wanna avoid. People wld really be better off w/o me, i'm serious. I know how much unhappiness i've caused & i'm prepared 2 live on my own. Tht's why i hafta learn 2 be independent, if i can hang on in there, tht is. If i can't, i wld pray for my sudden death 2 come, as early as possible. If you ask me which one i wld prefer, i wld say � latter.

Year of the Underdogs
Seems like � underdogs are on a winning streak, be it in tennis or in soccer. Was watching � Wimbledon finals btwn Maria Sharapova & Serena Williams, it was a pretty exciting match. Thought tht Serena wld win tis match, but Sharapova proved to be more than jus a beauty on � courts. She hit shots tht were pretty far fetched & at angles tht one cldn't really believe. I thought she was � woman's version of Roger Federer.

Was really betting on Serena 2 win, but she wasn't really on form 2day. She didn't manage 2 hit powerful shots like she did in previous matches. A little disappointing i must say. Nevertheless, like � term given for tis finals match though, "The Beauty Versus The Best". One being so young & pretty, while � other is so powerful.
