Disappointment

Yes. Ryan Giggs. DOTY (Douchebag of the year). The revelation that not only did he cheat on his wife, he cheated on her with his brother's wife. Soccer is a sport dominated not only by club rivalry, but also by the sex, money and glamour that comes with it. And that's what makes the impact so much harder. Because you see, Giggs is supposed to be different, the one good thing that exists in a sport constantly making headlines for the wrong reasons. What makes it worse is that he disowned his father and took his mother's surname in retaliation for his father's unfaithfulness. Oh the irony. Giggs was the family man, the one with high morals, who never ended up being splashed on the front page of a tabloid. Now it turns out he's just like any other douchebag out there. He used to be someone I admired, for the reasons stated above, yet now I have lost all respect for him. *Sigh* What a world...

Watched a lot of freddiew today. Realised that Youtuber is sorta like profession, as in you get your salary from well... uploading videos. And also, a lot of of Youtube celebrities are Western Asians (Is that the right term?) Eg. freddiew, Peter Chao, nigahiga, kevjumba, Natalie Tran (Community Channel). And out of all these people, Peter Chao is the only person who I can kind of relate to. The rest have been ''American-ised''. The thing is, why aren't there any home-grown Asians that are well known on Youtube? Does it have something to do with our education system? Stifling creativity for the greater good of academic success? Just something to think about. As they say, If you enjoy what you do, you'll never have to work a day in your life. If only we dared to take that leap of faith, to try something new, it might just work.

Gosh haha, I sound like I'm writing an essay for our English Pack Resource :P

Good Night
