Happy Children's Day

Time seems to flies past me quickly lately. October, the month I have been waiting for and dreading for suddenly loom into sight .. with a dramatic opening – Hari Raya Puasa cum Children’s Day.

To have a public holiday break is of course a luxury.. especially when October is going to be a frenzy period for me. So I took this chance to .. jog in the gym once again. (Ok, I can hear some people saying gym again… well I don’t have much life so that is how I lead my life.) Anyway this is the first time I develop a blister in my toe for running too much. Hmm somehow I feel over-running can really wreck a body. I might stop all running once the SC event is over… sigh then the only sad part is I have not conquered a marathon yet. Guess I will decide later.

Seriously I feel running is a mental game and somehow any mind game is unsuitable for me. Maybe that is why lately I’m getting tired easily. I can sleep as early as 8-9pm at times and is irritating my family at times because I will just concussed with the lights on. Hmm must be the jogging sessions. I really should take it easy and force myself to concentrate on the journey, not the destination.

What my friend told me came into mind:
“When you want to do something, you take a bold step forward into the unknown. You try it with all your heart.
If it fails, you take a step backwards BUT .. you are just back to square one. Never worse off.
What is failure? Never measure failure with what you might have, measure it with what you might never achieve.”

Makes sense I guess. I just need more self-confidence, more courage and more faith that GA is there for me. It is just that I know I’m lucky doesn’t mean I should take my good luck for granted. I treasured it very much. Just that I'm a worrier by nature.

Anyway mum met me after my gym session and we went to pray and do some shopping (because she wanted to exchange something that she bought). I get to eat my popiah in Qiji after craving for it for quite some time haha. And I was hobbling around Bugis .. lots of renovation work going around so Bugis seems a bit foreign to me.

Afternote: Not sure if I did mentioned but I finally sponsor a child .. Been thinking about it since 2004.. Been weighing it since 2006... It is after all a responsibility one must take seriously. Maybe is the tagline "One Life, Do something" , maybe I just decided there is never a right moment... Afterall how to define stability? And after making the decision, the economy just slided down. So one can never tell bah.
