DOTA is not the same without friends

DOTA is only fun when you play with your friends and you are trying your best to beat them. Otherwise it is just plain boring. I would rather spend my time blogging. Haha... Playing DOTA with friends is like a friendly game of soccer. You’ll make sure you give it your all and, in the case of soccer, tackles will fly in now and then but at the end of the day we will all have a good laugh about it, shake hands and say “good game”…which is exactly what happened with the mahjong session I had today. Thanks to my adventurous (read: reckless) nature, I will either win big or lose big. At least that is what I thought. Today something new happened. I broke even. Ok technically I lost a buck fifty but in mahjong that is as good as breaking even. Haha

I left for home just in time to catch the 930 news on TV mobile. Never before have I so diligently watched the 930 news on channel 5 / TV mobile. But of course with anything, there’s always a reason/motivation for it. Safe to say, trying to update myself on current affairs is only a small part of the motivation. *wink*

Anyway, it looks like the government is thinking of implementing a through train system for polytechnic students as well. It makes sense. If people can skip O levels and go straight to JC then why not poly as well? I honestly believe polytechnic students are just as good as jc students if not better and more entrepreneurial. Glad to hear that they did that.

And yesterday another charity organization was found to lack financial “governance”. I pity the people whom the organization was supporting. They suffer the most. It is bad enough that these people suffer from some illness/disability. Now they have to suffer a lack of financial support because the organization set up to look after them contained some people who apparently misused the funds. The above organization has been dropped from the government’s list of societies of good character (something like that). So that means people who donate money to them can’t claim tax rebates. And that’s if anyone still donates to them after all the bad publicity. However, what about the people who depended on the organization for financial help and perhaps, more importantly, a sense of belonging and source of self-esteem? I just hope that people remember that only the people who misused the funds should be punished. That being said, I have stopped donating as generously as before. I just wonder who I can trust with my money. After the dust has settled and all the associations guilty of misuse are dealt with, I am sure I will start donating again though.

Ok it’s late and I’m determined to do work tomorrow so good night. Oe should I say Guten nite.. haha…
