Jump to the other boat NOW

Some of you might wonder , who am i supporting this world cup ?

*note , who i bet on =/= who i support . Supporting & Betting is a completely different thing .

I support Italy .

Favorite Underdogs : USA

Its a little bit shameful to say something like that now , cause USA and Italy are out . Yes go ahead and laugh at me…

You see , 10 years ago . I supported Italy . Today , I support Italy . 30 years from now , I will still support Italy ..

Because i am a true AC MILAN & Italy Fanboy . And i am not shy to admit it .

What i cannot stand is , people who “Jump to the other boat NOW”

People who can’t make up their mind.
People who only sides the winning team , so that they can feel more “superior” , they supporting the winning team maaa..

What to do , we are living in a world where , everybody hate losers , and everybody love winners .

3 weeks ago , I’ve got a friend who told me he supports Brazil …It was HIS TEAM . He was telling me how great KAKA is and they are definitely going to win the world cup . Fair enough.

After Brazil Lost to Holland , He told me ….he now supports Argentina (The next favorite to win this world cup) .

And after last night when Argentina lost , he said he is a TRUE SPAIN SUPPORTER .

*smack head* i was like ..WTF..

Back in High School days , i’ve had a friend who was similar ..when Man Utd was the winner , he became a Man U Fanboy , he bought all Man U merchandise & Jerseys ..after a few years when Real Madrid became number one , he switch boat and became a Real Madrid fan ..He sold of all his Man U stuff that he collected and again , bought Real Madrid‘s jersey , posters , merchandise etc …

What happened to , passion , loyalty & being true to one ?

I guess , we are only human . We NEED to feel like we are the winner , or we are on the winning side . We need to feel superior . We rather die than to watch ourselves in shame .

Even in working life (when i was working in a music school) ,

I always hang out with my co worker ,  he loves gossiping about this other guy called B .

B got promoted , my co workers Jump to the other Boat ..hang out with B and starts gossiping about me .

Is that the way to be successful in life ?
Abandon the sinking ship , and jump to the winning boat ?

I am sure many of you have heard some of this lines ..

“I quit that job because the company is dying”

“I left the industry , because it is going downhill”

If that is the case ,

I should quit playing guitar , because i am losing to my friends , my students and some young youtube shredder . Switch to playing bass mou ?

I should quit my band , because my band is losing to artist such as Justin Bieber .

I should vote for the Winning Party in the next general elections .

I should close Music Master down , send a resume to Bentley or Yamaha Music . Because they are on the winning boat ma ..

Come to think about it , being in the music business is a losing industry , maybe i should switch boat to a money making industry such as IT Consultant , Advertising , AirAsia or Oil ..

Oh wait , Malaysia is hopeless right ? We are a losing country . Maybe i should jump to U.S , stay with my sis , start a new life there…

I should quit seeing my parents cause i am going to lose them anyway

I should quit my religion , cause most people think religion are for losers

I should shoot myself , cause i can never win against time .

…ohhh..i just realized that this will never end ;)

Why do we always want to win ?

If everybody jump to the other boat .

Who is going to make a difference?

Who is going to be the oppositions ?

  1. totally agree.
    the football thingy is especially obvious around us.

  2. you support ac milan. i support blackburn. unique haha.

  3. @yihwei . yeah , annoying yeah people like that ? who you think will win the WC 2010 anyway ? I am hoping for an upset …URUGUAY !

    @Akmal . Eh, how come ya ? when i was young i remember there was this blackburn goal keeper very power one ! hahaha..you studied there is it ?

  4. no lah. i lived in birmingham before, but teams over there are aston villa, birmingham, wolves, west brom. shitty teams. don’t quite remember how i got into them but they’ve been my team for the best of 15 years. the keeper you meant i think is tim flowers.

    interestingly, i heard of some underground fella betting 50k on uruguay to win the world cup. if uruguay wins, he wins 1 mil. so food for thought.

    p.s – i accept no responsibility in anything i said haha

  5. i dun ‘support’ international teams, but there is one team in my mind. i love Arsenal. no idea how it started, but arsenal has been my number 1 team since the days of anelka. (probably 1999).

    even if i dont play football or really into bpl, but arsenal is the only team i cheered for. when u have that ‘something’s wrong’ feeling because u plan to support the winning team, then that’s akin to loyalty. many malaysian football supporters simply lack that.

  6. to quit something u’ve been doing for many years…takes courage. but to quit something ALL THE TIME means u have a problem. those who want to feel like a winner, they’re just not confident with themselves.

  7. You’re right except the religion part. You should really lose it. *LMAO*

  8. netherland or spain i suppose, cuz they never get before =P

  9. nice to know that u’re an ac milan fan gapnap! me too!

  10. Liverpool fan here, no matter how badly they play.. Also been supporting Germany for 8 years, happy to see them up and running.

  11. oh crap…germans lost ..i lost money :(

    u lost money. sam lost ALL his money. hahahhahahha

  13. sotong superstar la this year. thoughts on finals anyone? i’m thinking spain will do the euro and world cup double, like france 10 years ago.

  14. I hate spain now . I hope Holland pawn their asses .

    But I have to admit spain did really really well . They relied on their tactic more than their talents . Even though it was a low scoring game . It was entertaining to watch .

    It wasn’t entertaining for German fans!!! I wished ur prediction on Portugal beating Spain was true, then I wouldn’t have to be so sad now.

  16. Spain will win the World Cup. Paul the Octopus said so!
