"What A Feeling!" - Irene Cara

I've decided to start a blog anew. The old one hasn't been updated in like years anyway. I think I need to sit down and think more. Haven't been doing much of that since I arrived. Just the rustle and bustle of life, my goals, tutorials has been keeping me on the run day to day, minute to minute. I had a long conversation with candice just now and she got me thinking again. About myself, who I really am or want to be, my purpose. Its always refreshing toking to u dice! Thanx! Anyway I feel much better and will take things slow from now. Not everything in life moves at your desired pace.
Yvette and Noelle convinced me to go for the CU (Christian Union) meeting in school today. There was this guest speaker who was pretty charismatic but what really touched me wasn't the facts he presented or his gushing passion. Rather it was something the group leader, Tristan said about opening our hearts accepting without preconditions, the faith. It seems that this has been my problem all along. I'm hardly biased or prejudiced but I dun think I have ever made a predetermined effort to try to fully accept. And today I shall attempt that for to be closed is to stagnate and wither.
Anyway to more mundane matters. Had my first race yesterday at wimbledon. The running club was there in about the fullest strength ever (two teams-12/70, haha). The course was perilous, treacherous, and really tough. Yet i enjoyed it, it returned me to the time when i was training for X-country back in JC. Life was pure then. All u had was the surge of adrenaline, the terrible but somehow pleasatly warming stresses on your body. It was pure sensations - feast for the senses. It made u come alive. I long for that feeling everytime. It seems a return to a simpler, more primordial state where there are no more worries only the completion of that single goal - to end the race in as fast a time as possible. Yes this is the true reason why I love running. My knees are busted, my back aches but it feels GOOD everytime a race is done. Hey for those of you who haven't experienced such pain/ pleasure try pushing your body to the utmost limit one day and u will understand! BUT ... (anticliamx) I fell in the mud, got lost (losing about 3 min of race time). Haha ... rather funny when I think about it ... I have never gotten lost in a race b4! Ah well it all adds to the thrill.
Well tmr is the cook-out at bankside. Yvette, Yirong, Jon, Sam, Sherwayn and myself will be the beneficiaries! Ah i've been longing for some good singaporean food! Hope its good! Ah eating is like running! Good for the senses!
