[Annual Review] It's OK to say SORRY NOW ...

Artwork by Bitstrips

At this stage, it's OK to admit the shortcomings and face the truth. It is not as if anyone would ditch you or leave you in the lurch when you seek for help NOW.

Rather, people would be appreciative of the courage shown for that admission and willing to give a helping hand, instead of having a mindset that is blinded by those self-comforting thoughts.

However, I give a hat off to those who have fought back every time after scraping the bottom of the barrel to find any explanation to counter the critics by assuring things are still according to the plan despite the facts are laying out there.

Probably, like a Hokkien saying 「好料墊底」(essence is always at the bottom of the barrel) and that's why, despite not being that convincing, things remained status quo even after all those blueprints and programs were laid on the table.

If things went our way weeks ago, it would only inflate that fake ego that long already deflated after the last edition and it wouldn't be surprising to tell us things are still in the groove to set things on despite the setback (isn't that the case all these while).

Anyway, what is needed is more than just a fresh coat of paint on the wall, not some fanciful wallpapers to patch things up (didn't I say that in the first place?)

Losing to Malaysia at home = a national disaster

It's like we kept hitting the "reboot" button when we hit a setback and the "reboot" button being the Asean Football Federation title (i.e.: presently known as the Suzuki Cup or Tiger Cup, as it was once called). I just felt that we had won four times, thus proving ourselves at this level when we last did in 2012.

However, this time round it seems like hitting the "reboot" button is inevitable again and I'm kind of sick of this repetitive process.

To make things even worse, it is not heading back to the drawing board as simple as it was, simply because we don't even have a drawing board now, we don't even know what is a drawing board, how it looks like as a drawing board and how to use a drawing board.

The recent debacles, mishaps, embarrassments whatever you named nothing is uncommon and we should be ashamed of ourselves for not being able to move out of the doldrums and keep mesmerizing us with those fantasizing myths that only fools rush in.

Hence, recently there were talks of having some programs or visions to revamp things from the school levels onwards, I would like to say before the actual details are to be announced, please kindly refer to those past programs like Goal 2010, the Strategic Plan to see if there's anything identical?

If not, it will not be a surprise the vicious cycle will remain as it is now.
