Once again, we meet HC at the finals and once again, we lose to them. This year looks to be a repeat of last years top four, with the exact same matches played out in the semis. Hopefully, this time we will be able to win Tj again, cementing this year's team as just that bit better than ours. But I sincerely hope they do, hopefully this would be just what we need to attract more talent to VJ. Well, I have alway wondered how our team compared to teams of other years. If only we could play a juniors vs seniors match, both of us at our peak, and jiao lian divided into two. But that will never happen. So I'm left to wondering: could we have beaten this year's HC?
This year's team had some issues and problems, things that when other people told us, we were quite frankly shocked. Just because of that, we may think that they are screwed up and all. But then again, its not like my team didn't have issues. We had them, just as much as anybody else. We have quarreled and argued among ourselves. We have done things that I guess would be as shocking as any other batch. So even though it may seem like each batch is slacker than before, we are as guilty as anyone else of passing it down. And this batch may just yet prove to be better than we were.
The girls team had it in their hands. It just slipped through their fingers. No aggression? No motivation? I've seen this happen before. Maybe they just can't control their morale. But I guess no one can accuse them of not doing their best on the court. I would say they only lost out on that one thing. Morale.
You know something? I have trouble working in a place where people in positions of power oppress people who are not. I have trouble working in a place where someone who is obviously unqualified or not willing to do the job well is given that role just because of seniority. I have trouble working in a place where efficiency and getting the job done is not the code of the day. I believe in an environment where the leaders are willing to get down and dirty with everyone else. An environment where you can feel free to ask questions and seek clarifications. A place where there are no mistakes, only lessons learnt. Where people bother to justify their instructions. I believe in questioning why this or that must be done. I believe in doing things with a sense of purpose.
And that is why I will never join the army.
But I will never be sad. I will carve out my own slice of happiness, even if it is at the expense of other people's opinion of me. I hope it will never come to that, but as a moist robot with no free will, it is only natural that that is what I will do, and I do what I will.
Maybe I'm an escapist, maybe I'm non-confrontational, but it is true that I will go out of my way to avoid people that make me unhappy, even if they have no intention of doing so. You say that I have to be very aggressive to survive. Well, we'll just have to see how my sense of justice hold's up against my search for happiness, vis a vis my confrontationality and responsibility. In other words, I don't know how I'll react until I react.
Did you know that officers are meant to be hypocrites? Try as I might, I will never be a good one. Maybe that's why I'm 85th!
Kelong later! whee.
