You may be a strong wind blowing but I am a stronger wall.

I was just thinking recently about an issue that has always been swimming in my mind .Due to a comment by another person, it just made me think harder.


The comment was:


Why is it so hard for guys to make friends and hang out together?



So the thought that was running in my mind is : Yeah that's true.Way too true. It's so much easier for girls to bond and potentially hang out together. Not so for guys.



So at the risk of sounding rather lame,I am thinking that we men should make more of an effort to get to know each other.It's not easy.In my most cynical point of thinking I reckon that girls don't really need us guys in a friendship as much as they would rely on their female friends and guys don't really need guys as much as well .



So does this mean that guys are doomed to fail in this area and we will never be able to form meaningfully friendships with other guys?What happen to the friendships like in band of brothers ? Still need your football kaki sessions to create some friendship?Do we need to join some military outfit just to form some kind of friendship with other men?It should be way easier for friendships to form.



Come on guys, stop focusing your attention on females only.Caused the truth at the end of the day is that if we don't help ourself we risk alienating ourself from other men.

What am I doing at this time

I am actually tagging people on facebook. Can you believe it? I could have choosen to retire to bed but instead I am gonna sacrifice my sleep to highlight someone's face to inform the world at large that your picture has been taken.



Personally I think this counts as community service.So this means that I get to do the job and task that nobody wants to do but everyone yearn to do.How groovy..




You should try tagging photos of people. A real joy I say. Haha.

It is not what you do

But what you fail to do that may affect you and the other around you.What I'm talking about would be the sin of omission where you fail to take action and let things go on it own path.


The fact that we can intervene and change the course of the outcome would be reason enough to take action. However just because you can change something it doesn't mean that you have to get involved in everything. Something the hardest thing do to is to do nothing.If you look at it in another way, you are actually contributing to the situation by not getting involved.



What is important is discretion and what you hold dear to you and belief. If you think that you should do something and have taken into consideration all the factors and have prempt all the possible outcomes, then take action. At the end of the day, the decision is up to you...

Arghh

Me getting older!! :-(

Should I or Should I not..

continue to blog at this point in time.All I ever do now is read whether it be in printed or electronic form.I rather read than write so I will rather peruse through blogs and randomly check e-mail rather than write something.If I am motivated enough,I just might start a conversation on MSN.I have also cut my time online to a mere fraction of my original use.Just too preoccupied at the moment.Later.

The things that happen in our lives..

There are many things that are happening now.Some good,some bad.You know the situation when suddenly are many things occur at one time.Just really makes you wonder how life can throw that curveball.If ya ain't fast, it hits ya.If you are,then you manage to dodge it.But for how long?

You know when,

EYE SEE YOU!!

Pressure building up..

Now I am really feeling the tension in the air as the date approaches.Can I focus and keep a positive attitude and well as not lose focus? Can I safely say that everything is under control and that it will be all right in the end? While I was scrolling through my Msn list, one of the personal messages on one of my contact read:"Things will always go right in the end.If it is not going right for you, that mean it is not the end"

Yeah so maybe that got to be the attitude that I should adopt yeah.Do my part, trust in HIM and the future will sort itself out. Ultimately HE is in control I should remember that.

Well it's been a week.

Yeah it has been a week since this blog has been in existence.It sure feels longer than that. Must be all that legal rubbish I have been trying to memorised since this Feb.I think that you kinda lose track to the time when you study hard.Yup.

Anyway there are a few things that I would like to blog about. I do feel a bit conflicted on how to address this. Anyway, I had a reminder as to how unpredictable life is .Last week and the week before demonstrated that good and bad things coexist as the same time.I should put my trust in the Lord and have faith that he will guide these people through.

I would also like to point out that Tracy celebrated her birthday recently.Congrats to her,I hope that she had a good one.

Finally, last Saturday me and my cousin headed for Bukit Jalil stadium for the Good Charlotte concert.Now I would like to mention that people have advised me that if I went for it, I would be the only "old person" in the crowd.I am pleased to announced that this didn't happen as my cousin who is older than me beat me to that. I am not going to mention numbers here lest I end up dead in a ditch somewhere.However, I did notice that something like 80% of the crowd were teenagers.There were a few young adults and middle age people but rest assured it look and felt like a high school festival.At first my cousin and I didn't really take notice of this, but later it got to her.Don't worry,I think you and I were cool enough so that counts.Haha.

Anyway we made our way to Kl Sentral and from there we boarded the Star LRt to Bukit Jalil. We reached the place about closed to 18.00 and by then there was a q of people already waiting to get it.So we patiently await our turn,holding the tickets and finally about 18.50 we manage to get in.

The said concert started about 20.00 with opening acts by One Buckshot,Estranged and Lo. Man I have to say this, the local bands were good, especially Estranged and Lo. I mean maybe it was the sound system or something but I am certain the crowd was eating into all that the played. Estranged played the hit single,where else Lo played the radio hits such as "Old Newspaper and Evening News".With such good performances, maybe people will change their perception and local bands will receive the support that they need.

So this went on till 22.00 and at 22.20 , Good Charlotte started jamming. Now for a band which is reputed to attract teenagers, it sure doesn't feel like and look like a kiddie band.

True, there aren't obvious explicit language so this may mean that they would attract a younger age group. I did a little research and it seem that this band is classified under the genre of pop punk.

Comprising of band members-Joel and Benji Madden,Billy Martin,Paul Thomas and Dean Butterworth, they have been around since 1996.That's 11 years in the business,sweet.

They played their hits single such as "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous," "The Anthem," and "Girls and Boys" among other songs. My cousin and I didn't want to stay till then end because we anticipated that there would be an issue in regards to getting a place in the LRT once the concert was over. So we bailed out early, and headed home.

So I would say that while I am not a Good Charlotte fan, this concert was good as it performance was top notch and there were no technical problems. The songs reminded me of my life back in 2002 and how much things have change since then. A good reminder of the past.

Till the next post.
