Why do I listen to other people?

The Basterds at work.

Finally got to watch the film Inglourious Basterds today. It wasn't quite like what I expected. Don't get me wrong, its definitely one of the best movies of the year with all the typical Quentin Tarantino traits (which is a good thing).

But I guess after all the hype and all the great reviews by other people, my expectations were a tad overinflated. I was also disappointed that there wasn't that many crazy Brad Pitt-Nazi-killing stunts. Still a very entertaining movie nonetheless.

Yesterday was 31st of the month but I did not go for Baskin Robbins. Yes you read that correctly. So why didn't I go eat my favourite brand of my favourite food (icecream is still food ok!) on the day there's a 31% discount? Its because people say I'm fat =(

Two people said they feel like slapping my face in this pic. 
But is there a sadder image than this?

Someone even went and quoted scripture saying that our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, so we must keep ourselves fit and healthy. Then I said, "Since our body is the temple, isn't bigger the better?" LOL. But apparently it doesn't work tat way. So yea I'm trying hard to cut down on my McD consumption as well.

Unfortunately my plan suffered a serious setback as Zhou insisted on eating McD for dinner just now. At least this time I ate Filet-O-Fish which feels healthier somehow.

I had also resolved to abstain from ice-cream just now and I almost succeeded until we bumped into Aaron and his parents on the way out. They asked us to go buy ice-cream and join them to chit-chat, which we did. Why do I listen to other people? Oh well.

Then comes my Fantasy Football fiasco. I had actually decided to sell off the so-far-useless-for-me Keane and buy back Torres but I rescinded my decision after I read this article from Soccernet:

............I know. But the story's not over yet.

In addition to this, I made a late change to switch my captain from Drogba to Van Persie. But after reading the article below, I decided to change my captain to Arshavin.

...........I know right. Haiz. Why do I listen to other people?

Usually I will laugh off comments of people bragging about their own team (like Keane's). Normally I'm fully aware that remarks of managers saying how dangerous their own players will be against the  next opponent should always be taken with a pinch of salt (unless of course that player is Messi or Ronaldo).

So where did my voice of reason go?

Well wherever it went, it cost me ALOT of points.

Lesson learnt: Don't listen to other people.
