[[Safe]]

So glad to say that I got through safely the first week of my bike course. I've already bettered my previous attempt by a single day!

Nothing much to be proud of but it's an achievement and improvement. Without a shadow of a doubt, I'm pretty sure everything will go smoothly and I will get the stupid riding permit from SAF on 2nd June.

And don't expect me to jump on the bandwagon and discuss politics here. I know Voting Day is tomorrow, but the only concern I have about the whole affair is it's a public holiday for me.

Why? Because I'm NOT eligible to vote yet, and even if I do, I won't get a chance. It's a bloody walkover.

Seriously, I do wonder if I'll ever get the chance to vote if I continue to reside within the GRC I am now in. Perhaps one day I have to move somewhere further in order to get a voting experience.

Heard some of the opposition's rally from the news bulletin saying that people should vote for them in order to maintain some sort of "alternative voice" in the government. Look, it's healthy to have some opposition in the parliament, and certainly much better than having a one-party government. But that's besides the point, because it's useless to vote have the opposition just for the sake of having them there.

You see the problem with the opposition? Seats in parliament are not god-sent. You work and contest for it. I like to see some competition, but not a pot calling kettle black slanging match in public. You accuse someone of intentionally magnifying your problems, yet you do the same to others.

Reminds me so much of the idiot Jose Mourinho.

Reality doesn't seem to be harsh. It IS harsh. So, either you shape up, or you get out. Simplistic.

Back to where I should be, I can't wait for the weeks to come by. We have the FA Cup Final, Champions League Final, and the World Cup! It's pure soccer extravaganza! There can't be a much period of the year as compared to this. I'm no Liverpool fan (I detest them, in fact), but its late manager, Bill Shankly, really put this into perspective:

"Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed by that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that."

How very true these words are. Unless you are one of those who couldn't care much about it. I mean, which world did you come from?

It's so boring to blog on a Friday night. Friday nights should be much more interesting than this. But well, I just can't seem to find something more interesting and probably won't cost me more than a cent.

Hope to have a more enjoyable weekend. Really need to have some sort of recreation going before the boredom of life sucks away the whole of my soul.

Day by day, every little bit of that feeling starts to drift away...
