Anticipating Marathon

Sunday, May 13, 2012 at 3:38 AM
I'd never ever training for marathons, but this time was totally an exception, seemed like I've been challenged and so I did all the train ups before the 21.1km race. It was the Borneo International Marathon held on 6th May, annually held with the purpose as a charity helping the orphans, disabled, and protected animals. I've joined some friends for the run, but eventually turned up only 4 guys joining the 21.1km run. And I was one of them.

I was taking it quite seriously, don't know why. So, I did plan up my 6-week training program with the help from Internet sources, magazines and my past experience. Throughout the training, first few weeks were went constantly where 1 short run was made every two days, and diet on food also being considered as well. I chose vegetables most of the time during the period. So, I was once quite upset when the time rushing for my final paperwork which had made me skipped the routine training for 9 days. After that, I've thought of retained my stamina back, and made some reference on magazines to help the plan carried out in a correct way. So, training back to normal until I get rest on a day before the run.

During the race day, I was so much anticipated for it. Seeing the runners from all ages, going to starting line before dawn, with only one purpose - to start the run, and finish it. I was a bit nervous, felt not much prepared for the long run during training, but just do it. And I managed to complete the race which surprised me. 

The run, which I could say my most anticipated event in my life, I really ran throughout the distance, mentally supporting my body, sustaining enough energy to lift myself to the finishing line. It was so, WOW until I hardly believe it would bring me this far beyond what I seek from this run. Truly unexpected, as this was my best run ever. I would set it as my Personal Best for now and I'll break it for the next run. Here are what I experienced during my time at Sabah.

2011 KK City Run 4.5km - 24:00+
2011 BIM 10km               - 1:07:05
2012 KK City Run 4.5km - 24:00+
2012 BIM 21.1km            - 2:07:45

My next target is PBIM 2012 - 21.1km, I'll join it with friends, having good competition with them. Hopefully will break my PB. I'm so anticipated for the next run, even now I'm starting to collect infos and planning for training routine, to train my endurance once again for the race.

Before the race day, Ive been asked a question by my friend mentioning that what am i going to achieve in life, and joining marathon was one of my answer to her question. Seems, it really is, I'll run, simply because I like self challenging.

24 Hours

When it comes to birth of this blog, I took it as a tool to utter every severe unsatisfactoriness to what I encountered and jot down some sudden thoughts of myself. So, this blog entries mostly are come with some melancholy wordings expressing what's inside me. It did effectively job releasing "negative elements" by jotting down every moment being what I was, and every entries would be the history to refer back and not to repeat the same mistakes again. I would take every page as my very moment, every pages would consist my true self and hope it would be a lesson of self reliance to me and others. 

Somehow, most of the entries are published according to the feelings at that moment, so the expression might be a little bit abstract, and somehow I felt it "Crap lots!". When referring back all those entries, it made me smile, somehow I laughed my past, but just wishing to improve myself again. 

Somehow, I set a new schedule for myself, a time managing as always. But it consists of slow jog and work out daily, and hopefully proving that I'm being consistent enough to carry on the training. All the workouts just for the ultimate sports event coming, -the marathon. Hopefully by fully utilize my 24 hours time,time makes the best of me.

It's awkward for me to ask question since I started blogging, but since I have friend dropping comments, so it would be glad to have some guests to leave a couple of opinions. - How you utilize your 24/7???

Arch of path

Simple just as had happened,
The time I knew, 
It was too late,
I had missed it, unbelievably loss grab of it,
Reluctant to open the riddle of it,
Just to cover, everything of me.

Laughing happily, was hard, suffocating, damn awkward...
Also glad seeing the face of happiness,
Just perfect, the best smile ever seen.
Should felt relief, 
but
truly
i've missed it...

Too many words yet hard to describe in words
Laziness, Jealousy, Selfish, Calm, Sporty, Delightful, Grateful...
Only ones that could I remember entering a whole new year.
Ups and Downs, come along in random manner,
Just unable to repel it back.


Tired, is a reason;
Procrastinate, yet an excuse;
Loss of motivation, pathetic as a guard to stay in the old manner;

Laziness, the form of true self, the cause itself.


It has to be changed, drastically;
from every aspects, from inner to outer.
The only way, to overcome biggest fear of all - myself.


始与终

Thursday, November 10, 2011 at 11:55 PM
原来,
时间已证实了,
喜欢这每个开始,
却逃避完美的结束。

可见,
我已遗忘结束的新开始。

人活在每天廿四小时中,
不是在于仅仅几粒钟,

觉醒吧。。。

it's 4 me, 4 in the morning.

Saturday, November 5, 2011 at 4:20 AM
It's been a small world to me recently,
as my sight is getting narrow and narrower,
in a day, I've sensed the limitation of my energy and time,
completing tasks is a routine work for me.



I've become more sensuous now,
trying to struggle for the best...

almost in everything.
Sometimes just want to leave it, 
but... just couldn't.



This night, just spent it ruthlessly...
watching dramas...
a Romance,
typically simply nice.
Helping myself re-mesmerize about my past towards persons I loved around me.
Just realize the existence of it, very true and real.



Is it time? Or, just let it be.
Even I couldn't assure an answer for myself.
Thus,
Just trying to complete what needed to be done first.
Then...
The rest, I will let it, but i'll care...

Flash back

Tuesday, October 4, 2011 at 2:24 AM
There's reason for all causes,
Only a cause for causes,
It just keep looping by its way,
Change, nothing really worth while,
Let it just slips away always,
Unable to catch back,
No turning back,
Dare enough looking the consequences,
Dare to endure,
 just,

One thing would change it,


Words...

The night after the Sun

Monday, September 5, 2011 at 1:46 AM
It's unsure when I started liking late nights,
and yet the late night in hometown is best to be mesmerized.
It's not because I'm fond staying late night,
nor to enjoy the freedom given to myself at late night,
But, the atmosphere of sincerity and serenity eventually give me a sense of
peacefulness.

A wide view in front my eyes reviewed the great art of a resting rotating earth,
Everything humongous to microscopic seems clearly viewed, 
but in sense of that,
all matters are in resting state,
" They're sleepin...
They're dreamin...
and I'm sure they've been so tired after a day long... "

No noise could hit my ear drum,
only water droplets hitting metallic plate was heard.

It's weird looking at all matters in silent state,
It's awkward time just stopping from seconds to seconds continuously.
It's like looking a wide picture, a stationary motion picture,
Muting and pausing everything done automatically by sense.
Giving a sensational sight, stunningly by its serenity and calmness.
Depth and hue of the picture was just that simply... perfect.

Though it is indescribable with a single word,
but seems my vision have given a clue to my mind.

I don't have to snap the night,
as it will stay in my mind,
and re-mesmerize it with my own eyes, again.

Knots...

Monday, May 2, 2011 at 10:33 PM
Life like a string,
it connects everything through knots,
if you like a relationship, it will be a beautiful butterfly knot,
if you dislike something, it turned out to be a dead knot,
if you encounter problems, it will be a miserable knot,
if you solved problems, you'll be satisfied to untie the knots...

Noticing many unknown knots that really annoying,
not really untied knots, but knots that appear from nowhere,
trying to trace how knots would appear at first,
Stretching and loosening strings seem helpless,
untying it just causes more miserable knots,
leaving it just happen to be escaping from the truth,
Somehow I know how the knots are there,
and how come have I been tying the knots by myself...

It's my choice to add or reduce knots,
guess it's time to untie the knots one by one...

Misery

Friday, April 15, 2011 at 10:43 PM
It's been a drastic change,
days by days... procrastinate? consideration? idling?
I tend to move sleazily these few days, some matters bother me, one of it might be my FYP.
The clock is ticking, every night might hear of it once analog clock is placed beside my ear.
A reminder for me it's time for some decision,
My mind starts synchronize with the ticking sound that make me keep thinking further, further way on every possible decision going to make.
Sometimes just want to make a swift decision,
but...
thinking of how every possible decision's consequence will be...
Decision making... always my best mate.
Finally, time push harshly...
made a decision... yes, decided... my choice finally...
stick to the plan, just move on... I'll take it seriously, no doubts, just do it.

slow, thoughts...

Sunday, March 27, 2011 at 10:28 PM
What do I have in my mind now?
My sole answer will be " Lots...too much to fit all in this moment"
Frustrating academic assignments, my consideration regarding my final year project, the tiny things happened around me, and about my past....
I have to think, once every 3 paces ahead.
Sometimes felt just let it be, but the matters keep following, invisible strings attached, unable to cut off.

Challenge waiting ahead when we grow elder.
Just to strive hard for the sake of ourselves.

Conquered... again

Sunday, March 6, 2011 at 11:08 PM
Again, suddenly have the enthusiastic to go for a run, 4km, at KK... so called City Run.
With a rush, sudden decision, so gone it by myself.
With my new shoe, conquered the 4km route, 24.03minutes.
Uh...

Not much satisfaction can be said this time...

but

looking forward

for the 10km one.

at May '11.

Run hard^^

Late night...

Saturday, February 12, 2011 at 2:39 AM
It's been nights staying still until everything becomes silent
I know
I will be muttered when I was at home
I know
Staying such late night is fatal to my body and soul
I know
I will unable to wake up in time during the next morning
I know
I have to change this bad habit
But
I like late night sometimes...not every time when it comes to rush my assignments

In fact, some matters stuck in my mind, hesitating something about the days coming on. In need of taking steps forward to make things happen. Needing to make it happens. Hope will not fail this time.

Cheers and good day~

新年快乐

Friday, February 4, 2011 at 1:58 AM
几乎每天都会停留这儿,一直想再隔几天就多添一个entry。这样就隔了一个多月,就到了很期待的新年才添新的entry。

值得提的是今年的新年很好玩,吃的、玩的、一律棒。
家人与朋友的照顾让我感到人间温情,感恩万分。
但比较伤感的是,所谓人间情感的无常。人总会成长,人格随着思想而变,这样就把人与人疏远了。
但无常非坏事,我相信事件的好坏老天自有分晓,只待时间的证明吧。

觉得新年气氛无往常浓厚,少了许多轰天的炮竹声,缺乏新年喜悦欢喜的笑声,少见的亮丽壮观新年装饰,是我后知后觉还是社会对这佳节的乏味呢。



每逢佳节感觉都不同,就以喜悦感恩惜福的心境感受吧。

新年快乐。

一分与一分

一分耕耘,一分收获
什么是真正的耕耘,才有所谓的收获?

所付出的耕耘,又能有如此想像的收获吗?

或者
不用耕耘,就有收获吗?

或者
一切耕耘,并无收获?

或者
耕耘是眼前事,收获只能被期待?

或者
慷慨大方一点,不求取收获。


我相信世间没有所谓的“绝对”与”绝错’,
只在于时间、地方、思想的恰恰配合,所做的一个判断;

我相信1.0的耕耘,就有1.0的收获;

我也相信10.0的耕耘,就有1.0的收获;

我相信1.0的耕耘,就有5.0的收获;

我相信0.0的耕耘,就有0.0的收获;

但我终不相信0.0的耕耘,就有0.1的收获;

我相信是因为发生于我,
不信是因为觉得不可能,
但是,人与人之间,意外收获是预料不到的。

终回一句,
愿重耕耘,不待收获。

Experiencing another life

Tuesday, December 14, 2010 at 9:58 PM
It's been days, staying here at Sabah, my second home
Most of my friends went back to their hometown, some just stayed for their own academic purpose
Alone at room, but not in the house;
Somehow it is very calm here, the surroundings is extremely quiet.
Even ticking clock can be heard during bed time.
It is quiet, serenity, seems everyone had asleep such in early hours.
Not in night time, but the whole time...

"What can I do" I say almost everyday morning when I woke up.
"Nah...perhaps I can read some books" a second thought of myself, and
spent some time, it happened, I finished reading a book.
"Superb, meaningful" first thought appeared after going through till the final page of the book and close the cover.

"What to eat huh" A tense thoughts almost pop up figuring for my lunch and dinner
Somehow, laziness beneath me keeps me take the less time cooking the easiest dishes.
As long it fills my stomach.

"Where to do my internships" this thought frequent appear in my mind when I sit in front of pc doing nothing
"Hmm...Sabah, Penang would be ok..." thoughts after thoughts, but my butt still heavy to move myself to search for those companies throughout the area I desired to be.

"Raining...again...ahhh...again" I said when hearing the downpour hitting the house zinc-ceiling, watching out through the window, gloomy sky covers the shiny days. Again... it rains, and sometimes just disappointed and rather spend my time at home.

Although days by days, not much stuffs can be done here, limited nice and cheap foods, entertainments, friends, but just trying to fully utilized the free time, im sure it will be a good experience.

Appreciation

Monday, November 29, 2010 at 3:30 AM
Appreciation
A simple expression on how you put gratitude on something you received
Not a skillful expression to learn,
nor an artificial expression of human
It's a thankfulness towards what received.

For me
I appreciate toward
relationships, environment, music, myself & matters I encountered
I appreciate and respect
my family, friends, song artistes and composers, mother nature, and my body
Somehow, sometimes,
we might forget a simple sense of appreciation in part of life.

As an offerer received none appreciation,
a sense of sadness, melancholic thoughts,
arose together with self-thought-pathetic-reality,
value of offerings colossally tumbled from cold shoulders
None noticed the pathetic scene, just the one who offered the most

A simple happening,
myself as an offerer realized how appreciation related through people and matters
Consciously knowing that how appreciation related to mind and soul
Will there be second chance for same offerings?
Maybe... no
thought for this moment
Maybe... yes
if I would like to have a second attempt.


Yet, I believe offerings is the best way we can serve to others.


I believe the more we appreciate, existence of the appreciated will be more meaningful.


Rain oh rain...

Thursday, November 11, 2010 at 12:52 AM
Raining
a word often inspired me much about writing an entry about it
Sometimes like it
Sometimes just hate it

Most of the time like it
when
feeling a sense of relaxation
pouring sound washes all the frustration
breeze purifies the dusty air

But dislike it
when
often make me stuck at outdoor
cause laziness among myself

the rain makes me feel easier 
sometimes cause me harder time
now,
it just cause me a harder time
because im just sitting around here
listen to the rain hitting the roof top
and numbing my senses.

and that's a pathetic rain for the moment

Tension vs Relax

Monday, October 18, 2010 at 8:09 PM
Again, I can say, its been a long time I didnt post a new entry
Ive somehow fed up each time I used this word after a long "Hiatus"
Probably this time, I have the chance to say it again means Im free and something had inspired me to write this entry.

Somehow,
I merely remembered when my last entry was posted,
Nothing special happened, nor something terribly changed my life, but in the mean of time I was able to learn some about time management and friendship.

Just wondering around, Ive begun to read, especially fond to non-fiction short story. Although every fortnight's time needed to renew those books at KK, but it's worth while to do it.
Reading a book "The Tipping Point" from Malcom Gladwell, hopefully can gain something valuable from the author.

As time goes by, every day is a different day to me, no matter in academics or entertainment.
Busier than ever, especially rushing for assignments, perhaps because of the influences of my group members, Ive poured more efforts in it and trying to make it till the best it can. Although it was tiring, but experienced the swiftly busy time seem let me know what is worth to sacrifice for.

Friends influenced much to me recently, no matter in academic or the other matters around. Friends do help us, but not too reliable on their generosity, overwhelm reliance may cause unwanted conflicts, certain limit of reliance is acceptable, foreseeing consequence is an essence.

Now my mind is full of thoughts, wandering around, weaving here and there.
Perhaps im a bit tired of all the stuffs after raya break.
Everything came and we countered it, sometimes few repetition for accomplishing it.
Not whining about anything
but
it is my style for doing it in each of my entries.

Currently writing in the dark now, ceiling fan with very slow rotating blades, slow pace of sky getting darker, not because I like the dark, it's just black out.
Sometimes wondering if I can snap a picture and let the story be told just beneath inside it.
Wordless explanation...
But somehow,
words able to bring something beyond a picture manage to express, right?

平静的夜晚

Sunday, September 26, 2010 at 11:25 PM
Sometimes I will think
What is the communication between people
Talking?
Hand gestures?
Eye contact?
Body language?
Listening?
Or message texting?

All are human communication, undeniably true
All types of communication are synchronizing each other to pay more respect to
Anyone.

Some prefer hand gestures more than talk
Some are more to listen
Some avoid eye contacting with audience

No wrongs in how you communicate
Just synchronizing more elements in communication may yield better result
That's a simple communication of human
makes daily life better, brighter and different.

But
Sometimes silence is a way of communication,
a spontaneous temporal understanding
for listener.

A state of silence is a way to communicate among us with 
our
inner self.

Simple yet clear mind you can feel in yourself
Just want something simple yet calm
By sitting in a wooden chair, slow pace of breath
Slow music yet in low volume with the playful silence melodic night
Give you more than you wish in philistinism.

Wish this moment can be eternal
But it won't be, we know...
Maybe wondering when will this moment be again
No need...
Just
Appreciate this moment is the best you can own now.
