Sportsmanship
I watched The Dark Knight again yesterday. Still a nice movie, and I am starting to feel that all the hype about Ledger was slightly over-exaggerated. I liked Oldman more, but oh well.
My extended family's at my place now watching the Singapore table-tennis Olympic match. The television's occupying my peripheral vision as I type this, but it's not something that really interests me. What I liked about sports is that at a world level it shows people who have truly dedicated their entire life to something for the sake of excelling at it, and when you look at people like Phelps, Federer, even people like Woods, and the entire Manchester United team (heh.) you realise that these are people just like every one of us, but have all done extraordinary things in and with their life. It makes you feel like you can achieve, no matter who you are or whatever you're doing.
Somehow the Singapore table-tennis team never gives that kind of feeling. Maybe it's just me. Lack of patriotism stemming from... other factors.

Stagnant Water
You know something's really wrong when you potentially have dengue, but all you can think about is how many days MC it can give you.
I wonder if I'm being unfair by blaming NS for stagnating my life like this. I don't REALLY know of anyone who's actually achieved something in their two years without staying out (no, military achievements are not achievements at all) but I guess such people do exist. But even so how much of the fact that I can't seem to do anything is my fault? My parents say that I never learned how to fight for what I want. I'm starting to question whether it's the more matured thing now to let things slide, and not fight the general public like I used to. It's so... case-by-case that I can't really decide when to argue for what I believe in and when to just let things go. And when I let things go I don't even know whether I'm doing that out of a sense of turning the other cheek or just because I'm being lazy.
Partially because I stayed over at the airport on friday night, but my whole extended weekend has been incredibly lethargic and unproductive. Not that my usual weekends are productive but they usually involve me going out and doing things. The only thing I did this weekend was watch Ah Long Pte Ltd, which wasn't even really my idea to begin with.
I'm stretching out with my senses (if you believe in such things) and I'm feeling the situations around me tense enough to be considered at their breaking point, that all it'll take is just a tap from me and the ripples that follow will have some impact somewhere, but I need to find the shatterpoint to bring this whole... wall down. Clouded. Way too clouded. I need something to clear things up for me, but then again I'm not so sure I'll like what I'll see.
