what have i done?

i guess, just like in every other year and like everyone else, i've haven't really fulfilled my new year's resolutions.

it's so hypocritical.
it's like how you keep telling yourself that the new year's gonna be so much better than the previous year and all.

it's august now. and life's getting sooo busy. datelines here, there and everywhere. gosh. your body is screaming for a break and your brain is whining. a really bad combi if you ask me.

my resolutions for 08 that i have yet to fulfill
1)do really well for my tests and exams.
2)get real fit(and buff!) and be in the starting XV for my rugby team.
3)hand in my homework promptly.
4)STUDY AND MUG like a SCHOLAR!
5)to become a stronger person. as in, like as a whole. physically, mentally and what have you.
6)make new friends and be nice to everyone in my new schools and anyone i meet along the way. and to not forget bout my old friends.

oh yeah.
here we go again. the names and places have changed but the story's still the same.

oh Lord,
grant me strength to accomplish the tasks that lie ahead.
bestow upon me wisdom, so that i may seek out the right choices.
courage, so that i will be courageous enough to make the right choices.
and discipline, so that i may complete the journey and make the most out of my time.

today was a sad day.
one of my "idols" from rugby said this to us J1s before the photoshoot, "eh, you all go la. talk so much. get changed and go la."

"haha. yeah la yeah la. but what about you?!"

"my time is over. it is YOUR time now."(gives that sheepish grin while saying it.)

it was that same line again. that was what another one of them said.

i felt really sad when i heard it. i don't know why. but i never thought that after all those times he wore that red/black jersey and fought alongside with us, he'd just choose to just give the photoshoot a miss. i mean, don't we all fight to be remembered, to become a legend? if this wasn't the case, then what was he fighting for?

and i'm left to ponder what i'm fighting for. will someone enlighten me?
