For 96mins this morning,i was awake watching a football match between 2 teams that i dun support.I dun bet on football and i am not suffering from insomnia,so why the hell did i watch it for?
I watched it because i can't resist the temptation of watching chelsea lose.They could have won of course,but liverpool did the job and my i respect that.It wiped the arrogance of the face of jose mourinho and roman abramovich and the underdogs prevailed.
Movies always shows how the underdogs overcome the odds to win like how the most loserish guys in school will always get the girl of their dreams to go to the prom with them in the end and the live happily ever after.
Back to reality pple,the underdogs will remain the underdogs especially in a society like ours.This is especially prevalent in my generation i guess.Those born into a rich family will somehow be the popular ones.Be it with their fancy pencil cases in primary school,the nice football boots in secondary school,the most high-tech handphone in jc or their posh sports cars in university.They seem to have it all,the high society they call themselves.How many time have the rest of us look at them and wonder,"how nice if i were him/her" and sigh when we realise we are not.
There was a time when alot of those around me were talking about their holidays to europe and america and how much stuff their daddy bought them and i could only listen by the side and recall my only overseas trip was across the causeway to JB.Some of these guys are really nice pple though,with no airs and a humble personality and I am glad that some of these pple are my friends.However,the sad part is,alot of them are not like that.
These guys seem to have it all and alot of us,the heartland guys,always lament of we can never have wat they have.But guys,come on,we do have something they dont have.The heartland way of life.Though its less prevalent now,but remember the days of playing at the "see-saw",swinging on the swing till we r so high up and we jump off,playing catching or just football with slippers as goalpost under the hdb flats and running away at the sight of the policeman(it doesnt apply to all k).
Well,i guess despite of all those we are still the underdogs and until our government embrace communism(which will never ever happen),we will stay underdogs and smile everytime the rich and powerful loses to the underdog like how chelsea lost to liverpool last night.
