ever had a pimple on your upper lip? i'm not sure if it's normal, but i have one on my upper lip right now. i find it a ridiculous place for a pimple to emerge. and it's painful, but the sight of it is hideous and rather disturbing. oh i didn't mention it last time round, i got stung by a bee last week, my 1st time ever! the idiot me got me after i took a swipe at it. errgh it stung me at my left wrist. almost immediately i took out the sting. initially no allergic reaction whatsoever, but now that whole area is itching like mad. it's now red after i kept scratching it. but it's already a week since i got stung by the bee. and my left knee is also in pain. i've got this niggling pain on my knee and it hurts sometimes even as i walk. haha my body is in a mess now, due to exertions during training. this pain in my knee is a result of yesterday's 22km run, which brings me to my next point.
yesterday i ran 22km. i remember after the 15km mark i swore to myself i wont ever run such a distance ever again. it was gruelling, and the pain in my legs kept shifting here and there. it's hard running such a distance on sandy, then rocky terrain which was so uneven. i finished with a timing of 2 hrs 20mins. not too bad i guess, considering i didnt drink throughout the run. but after the run i broke fast, because i knew i couldn't endure for the whole day. but after that i felt like shit. i mean. it's the first time ever i broke fast before the actual time. i think i could have actually endured the whole day and carry on fasting. i felt like shit yesterday, even now i still do. how do i put it? to me it's like there's no special sense of achievement by just running 22km and not carry on fasting. there's alot of pride involdved in doing so, and now because of that i don't feel the pride in being able to complete the run. fasting aside, i never thought i could ever run such a distance. now i know that i can, that is IF want to in the future. chances are as slim, or even slimmer than na'im. (haha sorry there bro, had to take a pick on you!)
anyway tomorrow i leave for taiwan! i'll fly off at around 1030pm, and reach back on the 12th of november next mont. oh well i don't feel so good actually about this whole taiwan thing. i don't know. it's all because of the uncertainties, and the fact that it is going to be tough. i'll probably try and fast for as many days as i can, since combat rations are never tasty anyway. never mind that. like one of my platoon mates said, - all we have there is each other. which is quite true. i suppose i'll try and have fun there. but since my handphone doesn't have autoroaming, no one will be able to contact me anyway, so wait till i'm back if there's anything for me to know! haha as if anyone messages me frequently here anyway!so if anything, pray for my safety and well-being in taiwan. till then, have a nice day all of you!
