I did it!

After 3 short months of last minute training, frustrations and more - I nailed it at 1hr40mins plus.

God gave us a lovely weather - though I guess I didn't pray much and nana was doing most of it. The sky was bright but not scorching. Haze was light too - in fact I didn't felt it was there at all. It was an amazing experience. I felt like crying when the race started as I couldn't believe I was there. When I reached the finishing line, I couldn't believe I've done it and it's over.

I wasn't able to run/jog consistently as I ran out of breathe quickly.

Overall, I really enjoyed the run. It's quite an amazing sight to see a sea of ladies in red running down the race route. Who says our local ladies aren't active?

Next year, I'm gonna nail it under 1hr30mins.

I love being active again.

Updates 8:34pm I did do it under 1 hr 30mins! The results is now available on the website. I've clocked 1hr 23mins 10secs.YAY!!!!

I've just noticed as well that this is the 100th post on this blog. Another YAY!!! :D

how bizzard

Made a trip to the new mall near the harbour on Friday to pick up the running shoes. I happened to bump into some old colleagues and decided not to go say hi partly that I was hungry and not quite in the shape to have a conversation.

Friday went away, and Saturday is here.
As usual, the gym instructor pulled off yet another no-show stunt today.
Thankfully, we could do a bit of cycling and jogging.

Headed off to Marina to shop for dressed for the wedding. Na na finally realise that I cant fit into a full dress - told her a few times I cant pull it off. Hhaa. All thanks to my asserts.

Godpa happened to be free for a while and so we met up for drinks. Good for him that he "gleefully" trotted off to get his car to drive down and meet a date for dinner.

........

I'm still at the legitimate age to make mistakes. Rather, I've come to the point to accept that I make mistakes and no one's perfect.

In due time, who I will be will come - because God is the one changing me through the Holy Spirit, and I am willing to be changed.

In the meantime, at the risk of being misunderstood - I will choose to do what I have to do.

I realise that more than often we think we know so much more to advice someone else.
The truth is far from reality - with our shortsighted view, the views we give are limited to the experiences we had.

Lessons in life were meant to be learnt. Falling and getting up are part of the lessons.

To some, decisions made at this point of time may be implusive.
To me, I know that whatever the path ahead I may be, I need to trust God to pull be back to the right path to run on.

Closed doors may mean waiting.
And waiting may mean there is more to come...


At the end of the day, I have remind myself of who I was, who I am because of what Christ did for me, and who I can be not in my strength but His.

There is much more in life than fearing men and their schemes. God is indeed bigger than all these. I will trust in Him for all things. :)

tired...

My actual birthday came and went.

And like the previous years, this year was no better.

Yes, I'm feeling quite low and down now.

The only thing that redeemed the day was dinner and movie with godpa. I managed to stay focused with the headache.

And lost control when I got home to find that my sis (who hardly comes home) actually stun my wireless modem router and connected it to my bro's comp and left me hanging without a connection.

My mom only knew how to side with her.



sometimes, i wonder if i did anything wrong to deserve all these things.
its my birthday. my family didnt really care except an ang pow. my coy gave me flower, cake n prezzie but i could tell it was pulled together last min.
my friend bail out on me due to the usual reasons and eventually i cancelled the trip to the zoo partly due to the haze and partly feeling irritated that my hunch was correct that it wont happened.


who's my real friends, and who are those that truely care?

Im thankful however - that I prayed the weathers would be better today. It did - but i chose to trust my feelings that trusting in the one above.


Im so tired. every year something has to happen.

Happy Birthday!~

Other than the haze which has effectively killed my plans for zoo...

I LOVE IT! IM NOW ALMOST QUARTER OF CENTURY OLD!

and as a friend puts it - i should go take a quater of a century egg. hahahah

Thanks to another fren Nana too for the arrangements made to the toy musume... i love the place! nice lounge too. *i secretly hope she doesnt change her job... heh*.


too bad we couldnt take pictures. but the experience is really worth it.

slowing down and look at the finer details...

^_^

my donald ducky turns one today!!! yay!!!!

bears starts to hibernate about now...

I'm not exactly the friendliest person around.

But I do think I'm loyal to my friends.

And probably expects the same as well.

More than often I find myself lonely and isolated from others.

Friends I used to have, friends I lost...

With all that knowledge, and yet I guess my EQ might just not balance out with my IQ - whatever that may be.

Deep inside, I want to be part of this group of people I'm with. A lot of times I ask why is it that they get all the attention - the glitz, the praises and all. While I'm just this girl who knows stuff but never noticed. Always on the sideline.

And then starts blogging here.

As much as I would like to criticse someone else, I can tell that my EQ isnt that happening.


24 is around the corner. I better start doing something about myself.
