For those still in the dark, MJ lost to VJ 4-2. Though to be frank, the scoreline didn't reflect how close the game it actually was since we were 2-1 up till a red card changed the tide of the match and VJ scored all the goals in something like the last 8 minutes. This might be due to the superior fitness level and size of the VJ players (and maybe the fact that they went for mass shaving), but the match was still a close one, and they should be applauded for how hard they tried.

On an irrelevant note, it seems the key to being popular is to do something so well the rest of the school gets a holiday for it.

Life is ultimately a game of resources, and whoever makes the most out of their resources tend to finish the happiest. However, at the most basic level, this would make life pretty boring. For an analogy, let's take sports as an example, since we're having the NBA playoffs and the World Cup right now.

In basketball, it's five guys against five other guys trying to get the ball into the hoop more times than the other team. However, what makes the sport interesting is how they intend to do it. Some teams rely on getting the ball inside for layups and dunks, while others rely on threes to seal the game, since three > two. In soccer, again, the most basic level of play is eleven blokes against eleven blokes trying to push the ball as far up the field as possible and get it into the goal. However, the way they do it again is different. It isn't simply a race to chiong the opponent's goal and every opportunity possible. Some teams play very defensively, looking the catch opponents on a fast break. Some will play for fouls in dangerous areas, looking for goals off set pieces, essentially winning the game at the feet of a great free-kick taker.

Similarly, what makes life interesting is that people find different ways of achieving happiness. Some are happy by being the most popular and attention-attracting person around ; Some like to kick back and laugh at the feeble attempts of the former to do so. Sometimes both parties are happy, and sometimes the law of scarcity demands that one party compromise(be it willingly or unwillingly) to the other can be happy. In terms of resources, many of the things we do in life(which are geared towards future happiness) are in fact a function of the many resources in our life - 1)time 2) money 3) freedom 4) brains. Right now, I don't exactly feel fulfilled in any of these areas. Which sucks.
