Juz finish training Juz now. As usual, sidekick life. But tats not the main topic for the day.

Today I am going to talk about ugly actions of Singaporeans , and the differences in the past and now.

10 Ugly Actions Of Singaporeans
  1. Never ever give way when alighting and boarding the bus.
  2. After some festivals, example Chirstmas, you will see the whole street filled with rubbish.
  3. Once the MRT arrives at the station, they will rush in like some mad dogs and savage for seats.
  4. Do not understand signs such as move to the back of the bus.
  5. If to listen to how youngsters speak nowadays, in 1 sentence there will be up to 3 vulgar language.
  6. Once they got abit of fame or money, they will start to YAYA Papaya. ( Stupid customers that loves to complain and treat waiters like dogs. )
  7. Complain Complain Complain, and they are always at the right side, with no mistakes at all.
  8. My benefits will always come before other people, they die their own business.
  9. $$$ Money comes first in any situation, no money no talk.
  10. Can never give in to things as long as they find things not beneficial to them.

10 Differences In People From The Past and Now
  1. Use to greet people even they don't know each other well in kampong, now even you know the person's name, or even know the person, might not even greet.
  2. Appreciate things given to them, even its the smallest things like a letter or a card, but now people will complain now still use letter, should use email ma!
  3. Last time people believes hardwork will pay off, so they don't mind doing extra, but now people you ask them to do a little bit more, they complain and curse and swear.
  4. Will respect their parents like nobody's business, but now they dun give a damn bout what their parents said.
  5. People enjoy comments in the past, as they believe that can help them to improve, but now people might be unhappy and dun like to listen to others as they find themselves always right.
  6. People likes to be humble in the past, but now people very YAYA Papaya.
  7. Loves their mothertounge language, and usually speak in that, but now even some chinese students can failed their mothertounge to a grade of F9.
  8. People do things for others not asking for return, but now, if no benefits, who will give a damn.
  9. They believe in learning a new skill will help them to gain more in the past, now people are so lazy when you ask them to upgrade themselves, they think it's not nessccery and believe that 1 skill can get them easy on with life.
  10. Last but not least, how often do you hear "Sorry" or "Thank you" or even "PLEASE" from people now?
Thats all for now, but if you find yourself in one of the catergories above, maybe its time to make some changes.

There is a saying " Its Never Too Late To Start " , but it is often overlooked that there are consequences and conditions behind.

  1. Be Ready that you will be always putting yourself below others.
  2. Be Ready that you will be forgotten.
  3. You will hardly be able to join into their conversation topics so eventually you will end up keeping quiet.
  4. You Try very hard to improve but somehow you just feel you are lousy no matter how hard you try.
  5. You will reach one point where you want to improve badly but your coach doesn't pays attention to you.
  6. You will spend time emo-ing because you always find that you are useless.
  7. You Find your own ways out but still doesn't seems to work out well.
  8. Your words will never be taken into considerations much.
  9. Your hardwork will never be seen and will be taken for granted.
  10. You will start to feel lonely and emo again.
At times I always envy other people...
People who can really interact well and sociable with people.
People who are really quick and can receive balls well.
People who can set and are being favored by coaches.
People who are experienced, and can really do well in all areas, spiking, receiving and setting.
People who are tall, basically that overcomes things.
People who can really bring the team together, and people find them important.

I always envy other people, but I don't have any factors people will envy about me. I have people with these factors in my team, and all of them seems so good to me.
I really wonder, in these 3 years, what have I improved? What am I really good at?
Who can tell me what can I good at?

I really wonder, how far can I improve in these last 4 months?
I almost forgot about these... When you don't have high hopes, you will have no disappointment.
Who can encourage me to push me forward?
Will it make any difference without me around?
Will anyone ask me back to play volleyball if I quit?

I doubt so...



Accepting the fact, it's never too late to start something,
but you will be always be later than others,
weaker than others.
