YorYor’s Thoughts

Alan Smith, despite gaining immense popularity throughout his three years at Manchester United, has moved on. I am a fervent supporter of him, but too bad Sir Alex Ferguson, the club, and himself even, opted for a different future.

Catch a video tribute to his contribution to the Red Devils over here.

All the best Smith, and remember to score crucial goals against Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea. United fans will always remember you, the one and only Smudge. Really hoping you’ll do well (against others of course) during your career at Newcastle or any other club.

Not that anyone cares really. Well, it’s my 2nd anniversary since ORDing from the RSN. Life has been fun and interesting, and I truly enjoy the flexibility in time afforded by the change. I may not be financially better off, but I’m mentally and psychologically much better off. No matte what, thank you RSN for enabling me to study in Manchester and seeing Old Trafford in person, and of course for the financial stability over my bond. I believe I have in return given a good 4 years back to you.

Sidetracking a bit, I read some interesting comments by some readers who found this little space overwhelming with text and no pictures. Firstly, amazing that someone actually dug up this little site. Sorry, but I didn’t know bloggers were obliged to contain images on a certain proportion to the amount of text. Not that I care. I don’t depend on templates which others wrote, except for WordPress of course. Oh, and vans are not stupid. Driving a Ferrari doesn’t make one any cleverer as well. I merely live within my means, get on with my life and enjoy being with my family. Criticise only when you’re in a better position through your own means and decisions.

Just the other day, while sending my parents home, I overheard my father narrating an interesting piece of news. Apparently, someone in peninsula-M was caught without his identification card while somewhere out there. He was then put in jail for some reasons while investigation was supposed to be taking place. That took 6 months.

I then recounted to a certain Mr TTD who was sentenced to 3 months jail for what I consider general misappropriation of public funds and trust, in the process benefiting himself tangibly. Yes yes, he was earning peanuts, so I guess he was entitled to it.

Anyway, the funny thought that came to mind was this: it is more severe to be caught without your IC in peninsula-M, than to do something like what Mr TTD did in the LRD. So yes, life in the LRD is indeed better than many places out there, if and only if you’ve the necessary linkages to line your own pockets. Otherwise, just be prepared to slog your life away, or be a Quitter. Simple.
