Inspiring Day...

Today had been a rather inspiring day...

Went for a run this morning...a run long overdue...

Had wanted to keep to a routine of at least once a week... maintain my fitness...
But sometimes.. due to alot of factors... work... study... basketball... lazy... i tend to miss the sessions...

And so...since today no class and no work.... went to run 1 round around Bedok Reservoir... not much.. only 4.8km...

By the way... i have decided to join the Standard Chartered Full Marathon... 42.125km...

Well... i know it sounds kinda crazy... but yep... that's me... haha...

I figured that by signing up, it will actually help me maintain a constant training session.. which is beneficial to my IPPT too, which i plan to take at the end of the year... and i am aiming for Gold... $400 leh.... good to have....
And in a way, i feel that at my significant 21 years of life... i should took a few more spectacular things...
I've already conquered Mount Kinabalu via the longer route...and i am currently still taking my life-saving course... planning to take scuba diving soon... so the marathon will be the next big thing for me...

But the sad thing is... i think i will most probably be running alone... not much people wanted to run....
But in a way, it's good too, because then will i be able to concentrate on my pace properly... my slow and easy pace...

Saw a newspaper article on the "Terry Fox" run... and somehow... i think i will also join that... do my part for charity...
But that one is easier... 12km only....

After the run.... while resting at home... Dj called me up... actually i called him... because i got a miss call from him... and something actually struck me during our conversation...
He told me about his exam results... from his ACCA programme... all were higher than a FCH standard...
In a way.... i feel very proud that as a friend... a fellow Victorian... a classmate... and a fellow "cannot get into local University" mate... he is doing so well...
I've heard of stories of friend's friend who did so too... but hearing it coming from your own friend makes the thing even so wonderful...
It suddenly inspires me on my own goal.... also FCH...

I mean... here is already a living example of the possibility... if he can.. i can too.. haha...
And so... yep... i will carry on with my goal, fall power~~~

To be honest... i had felt rather low during the ODAC night cycling... because though the many interactions... i found that most of the people from there are from polytechnics, with some from neighbourhood JCs... like me...
At one point, i actually mentioned that i entered SIM because of lousy grades, due to a mis-interpretation of question... and it's like... my answer suddenly hit myself very hard...
Hey...i am actually admitting my weakness out... it like such a sucky feeling...

I guess... it may be due to the fact that i will only show the positive and strong side of me out... never the weak... so that answer suddenly struck me like a beer bottle on my head...
Man... i am kinda lousy....

Ok... alot of internal thoughts here...

But well... with the inspiration from DJ... i think i am going to do just fine...

Why am i still blogging man~~~~

Go study liao....

FCH... Full Power!!!
