跑吧！ 燕燕 ！
The marathons has always gave me a huge sense of achievement especially when i first participated in it few years ago.
It really shows that as long as you have made the preparation, you will perform accordingly.
Being able to see that we are able to push ourselves a little further despite the fatigue just shows that we can do it and indeed the sense of achievement after completion in immediate.
Certainly, this sense of achievement is something that we dont really get nowadays. For example, studying for exams, doing the exams and we have to wait for weeks before the results is out. The sense of achievement will not be there even if we score well.
I must admit the sense of achievement i got during my past runs these couple of years were not as great, simply cos i knew i can do much better and i have yet to push myself more.
Nonetheless, this year's half marathon was different.
IT seems my sense of achievement doubled as i not only pushed myself to my acceptable limit but also yan yan had a good run as well!
To think i was so worried abt her feeling hot, hungry, tired, thirsty, low in energy, worried about her losing the champion chip etc.
IT turned out these were uncalled for as she completed the run easily! I'm sure her timing is much faster than more than half of the people particpating the run. Once again, she never failed to amaze me. Perhaps she already registered for the 42km run this dec and will want to surprise me in completing the race....
Or perhaps she is already eyeing on the 84km sun down marathon next year and want to overtake me.
I'm sure she is proud of herself to be able to complete that distance.
I myself was so proud of her and just couldnt help it but to annouce to everyone how good she is. haha!
Great Job!

Self fulfilling prophecy
Not so long time ago, the world was used to be ruled by gods and goddess.
Being immortal, the gods had exist in the world for a long time, thus see the mortals with apathy.
They no longer treat the mortal with respect. Almost all of them became petty and cruel, looking after their ownselves with no regards of the powerless humans.
Among the gods themselves, they were often in a heated conflict to obtain the authority above others. This had gone on for etenity. Then again, they were immortal, they had all the time in the world for this.
One day, the Fates came to them and made a prophecy.
"A child of a great warrior will soon be born and the child will bring about the twilight of the gods,"They said emotionlessly.
Feeling threatened, all the gods combed the entire world in search of any new born child, killing every single one in sight mercilessly.
Being powerful and almightly for a long time, they had totally forgotten how fearsome a mother who was protecting their young could be.
With courage, the female warrior led the people to go against the cruel gods that they had been worshipping all their lives.
Many innocent lives were lost going against the gods. Nonetheless, the gods were determined to get rid of the threat, who was just a baby.
During the battle, the warrior offered a treaty; to leave the mother and child alone and she promised not to go against the god.
However, the gods unable to accept such opposition from a mortal refused to give in and decided to have a full pledge attack on the baby.
The mother, in desperation and was unable to kill a god, used her wits to get the gods to fight amongst themselves.
Eventually, those gods who were cruel and were afraid of their downfall were killed by none other than the other gods. While those kind and merciful gods, who would rather encounter certain doom than to be involve in the killing of an innocent child, survived.
Hence, led to the twilight of the gods.
If the gods had not be so fearful of the prophecy to think that a mere child will be able to lead to their downfall, it will not have happen at all.
Self fulfilling prophecy.

关系
ITs a weird feeling.
Meeting friends you thought you can get along with but it just feel as if there is a barrier in between.
This feeling is there when i came back from canada, upon meeting my batch of coursemates. IT just feel different being with most of them. Doesn't feel the click anymore.
Its the same for the juniors i am joining for my remaining yr 2 course.
It was just 1 yr ago that i felt that i can blend in with them quite well.
Now, it just feel awkward.
Well, i'm afterall their senior.
This leads me to feel that i often take the relationship i have forgranted.
When a good relationship is there, it will always stick this way.
Just like how it is with my secondary school, ajc friends.
I always assumed the relationship we have will remain the same even if we didnt meet for a long time and will definitely pick up from there when we meet again.
But now, when we get to meet more people, i guess we tend to forget how we treat others when we didnt meet up for a long time.
Or perhaps, the relationship wasn't that strong to begin with.
That was why we can click easily in the beginning but it fizzle out after sometime.
Therefore, it is important for us to maintain relationship with friends if time permits.
I've met up with kaijie and jiandong today for a start.
Dont think i have anyone else in mind after that..

back to school, follow me!
As I say to many people, it still feel as if the holidays just started.
When in fact tml will be the day we officially start lesson.
I must say, things are always exciting and novel when we are doing it for the first time, isn't it?
So wouldn't we enjoy ourself even more when we make ourselves believe that it is still the first day? haha!
Indeed, the holiday has been enjoyable. Having a period of time to do the things i want to do at my own pace. Going to bangkok, genting, sailing, expedition to name a few.
Oh yah, and not forgetting television serials! Bag too heavy, lousy brother, twin star.. Then again television serials is a tricky thing, cos i can force myself not to watch when im in hall, but how abt in the comfort of my home?
But its not as if we will not have the luxuary of time to do such stuff upon school reopens, its just that we will not be able to do them at our own pace. Thats all. Yup, and less time to play and lazz around.
Well, time to readjust my feeligns and start to study!
