World Champion
By Peace | July 12, 2010
Spain won the country’s FIRST WORLD CUP just now, as I watched it, together with Ricsson, Richard and Isaac… I am not a person who love to watch soccer, nor know anything about Soccer…
The night before, I woke up suddenly to see the second final match between Uruguay and Germany… The time I woke up was about 3 am… Today, I woke up suddenly at around 3am again, to see the match had already started… and like the day before, Richard and I watched the match.
Watching the soccer match the day before and today are totally different sensation and feeling… Just Two nights and one day or two, I had undergone ‘MUCH CHANGE’……..
All these are not one or two words to be able to describe, but it takes time… time and energy to express and to pen down.
Richard is sleeping like pig now. I am the ‘pig’ now typing my story of LIFE…. The MODERN Beethoven typing/playing the ‘PIANO’, expressing my emotions with my heart, to ‘convince’ my AUDIENCE, you my readers, about MY LIFE, the words and photographs in my blogs is all the TRUTH and REALITY OF LIFE, and not a PLAY.
Is LIFE a PLAY or is LIFE a SHOW to IMPRESS people? Or Is LIFE just an ACT? Are we supposed to take LIFE seriously or should WE take life EASY, Be Happy and Be Merry just like what people said — the carefree people! Have you ever think of the consequences of your actions?
In the game of FOOTBALL, its all about ACTIONS — Kicking, passing the ball around to different players. There are all sort of players and the coach think or design strategies to teach the team, with the main goal to win the other team of players. All the players have a main objective to WIN the game, and to get the PRIZE, and ultimately, the NAME OF THE COUNTRY, the GLORY and FAME of the country…
The team plays, and players worked hard at it, each and everyone. Ultimately, the Coach get the PRIZE, the WORLD CUP… It is just a 90 minutes of game or perhaps longer a bit, depending on the extra time. Just about 2 hours will determine the fate of the country, the fame and its name, by the EFFORT of this team of players — 11 players in each team, making a total of 22. The referee is the one who ‘judge’ the game, issuing yellow card and red cards and running here and there. He is in the game as well, but nobody will want to ‘look at’ the referee. The spectators just want to bet on the game, support their own country or to win their bet or simply to enjoy the thrill and be entertained the sight of passing the ball around, JUST TO GET A PRIZE, a piece of golden object…
After the match is finished, the players have to go back home. It is the family they are facing. It is still back home. You go home with the name and honour. People recognize you perhaps and welcome you, for bringing the name of your country fame and pride (Proud). But does it LAST forever? How long can the fame last and how long can the PLAYER of the match PLAY for the country? Is their YOUTH Guaranteed? Can they be forever young to KICK the ball? How many football players are still in their “KICKING” profession over the years?
The game of Football is such a common game. It is a game for the rich and the poor. Playing football is a game for any age group –the young and the old, provided you have the energy to run about. Just buy a ball and you can use your body (basically your legs) to kick the ball. You can play it alone or you can play it with any number of people. You need to design the goal post(s) and to set the rules….
Yesterday’s match, the second last match, the one between Uruguay and German, the players played in the mild rain. It was played in Malaysian Channel at my home. Today, I watched the soccer match at my home TV from Channel 5. I did not on the TV nor would WANT to watch the TV on soccer myself. Like what I said, I ‘wake up’ to ‘witness’ what I SAW, and I TELL YOU.
Who in this world can SEE the wind and can see the AIR? All these are present in the air, our surroundings, whether you like it or not. WHO can STOP THE WIND, WHO can STOP THE SUN, who can STOP the Moon from orbiting?
Who is ultimately the PLAYER of this game in LIFE?
There are just too many PLAYERS in this world. You can be the world champion now, SPAIN, with the ‘LUCK’ or HARD EFFORT put in by these number of players (11) in the game, but it is not everlasting. Your future is it secured with just a single match of the game? Definitely not.
Ultimately, you still return home to rest. At home, you still need to face your family. You are still a ‘player’ in your family. The ultimate place where you sleep and rest, your bed — everyday of your life, and especially after your match. Who do not need a bed to rest, who do not need to sleep? But to be able to WAKE UP from your SLEEP, that is LIFE.
When you wake up every morning from your sleep, do you know what you are doing? Do your know what is your purpose in life?
Do you know that in SINGAPORE, we are LIVING IN HELL…
THIS IS SUCH A SCARY WORLD, YOU Have to BELIEVE in the RIGHT ONE otherwise there is NO LIFE in you and what you really see is ILLUSION…
