7th Dec

yay. Man U won Sunderland 1-0. An intense match. The result was only decided at the very last minute, literally. It was a brilliant 30 yard attempt from Michael Carrick, followed by an easy Vidic tap-in. I didnt watch the match, but the I did watch the highlights. Berbatov had so many chances, especially that header. Grrr, what a poor finish. And I forsee that Man U will not take away 3 points at White Hart Lane. This is apparent because we will have to miss 3 key players: Patrice Evra and Wayne Rooney through suspension, and of course our European Footballer of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo, who got a bang in the hip during the Sunderland match. Damn, three on form players. It's all right, we still have Carrick, Fletcher, Anderson, Park, Ferdinand, Vidic, Rafael, Berbatov (er...maybe not) and TEVEZ. Tevez played for a meagre 30 mins for Man U last night but he still added firepower to the team's attack. I have no idea why Fergie likes to bench him so much, maybe it's because of his sarcastic comments he made against the English game earlier this year about the EPL depriving him of flaunting his creativity. But nevertheless, I hope Tevez gets to play first team football with increasing regularity. We are still title chasers man.

I'm gonna get philosphical today. I'm gonna talk about Trust:

Trust applies in everything you say, everything you do, everything you here, everyone you meet, so on and so forth. There is an element of Trust in everything. Let me give you an example. When you go to the barber, you are giving him your Trust to give you a neat haircut. This may seem to be a stupid example, but it just shows that Trust applies to almost everything. When you tell the barber you want a haircut, you're giving him your Trust. And when he cuts your hair with the scissors or trim your hair with the shaver, he is performing the job you have trusted him to do. So the responsibility of upholding this Trust is on the shoulders of the barber. And what if he made a mistake and give you a terrible haircut? Is he breaking the Trust? Yes he is, regardless of whether it's intentional or unintentional. So let's say that after he broke that Trust by screwing up your hair, you make a big fuss over it. Well, there is nothing one can do after a screwed-up haircut. It's just your day. You just have to be patient and wait for your hair to grow. But because the barber made a mistake, should you give him a second chance? Or should you find another barber who MAY (I emphasise) give you a better haircut? I say you give the poor guy a second chance. And if he performs well next time and gives you the kind of hairstyle you yearn for, the barber slowly gains back the Trust he had lost the previous time. Nevertheless, the barber will not be able to earn back that kind of Trust he had last time. Because when you blow it first time, there is no turning back. You can only look ahead and pray for the future. There is no turning back, definitely not. What done is done. And what the barber should do is to slowly gain his credibilty back, step by step. He should think of the future and forget about the unhappy past. Think positive, eh?

Oh, I got a haircut today. haha, and I don't have any qualms about it. I have so many thoughts running through my head recently. And things don't look very bright. But still, I have to think positively, like the barber, right?
