The most happening & challenging month is here!
X'mas shopping, ooh yeah!My God! It's December already? I honestly feel that this year is one of the fastest yet ever. I rather not ask people whether they have achieved their yearly resolutions or not, lest I must listen to their rambling & complaints haha! As for me, this is probably the best I have experienced so far in terms of personal achievements. What a glorious 2010 it has been, yes siree bob!
I collected my 18th medal in what seemed to be a typical run. Photos below belongs to Yimster;
Be charitable to your local community
Great men & women whom choose to be extraordinary
Go go go!
Bukit Jalil Sports School (northwest). Someday, I shall make my mark here ~
Run smartly, always rehydrate yourself
It was difficult to breathe due to the polluted air
Bloody inconsiderate drivers. What do you expect us runners to do by honing?
International Medical University (IMU), my dad's punya workplace :D
Running uphills is not only tiring physically, but mentally as well
Everything looks normal, until...
Mighty Morphin!?
To be running with my childhood idol, wow!
Even though he was jogging slowly, I decided to tail him instead all the way to the finishing line. He is just too damn interesting to be ignored! It was funny to see that there were others whom would mistaken him of being other superheroes, such as Spiderman, Ultraman or Superman (bloody hell, since when Superman wears a freaking mask!?). Wherever he goes, all eyes would be on him. Seriously, how often do you see something like this everyday?
Awesomeness!
This is what I do every Sunday morning
- Background - 10km @ Stadium National Bukit Jalil.
- Weather - Drizzling before gradually sunny again.
- Organization - Kudos to the committee members for a job well done!
- Difficulty - Intermediate with occasional hilly roads. First time beginners will likely struggle with this venue.
- Fitness - Only trained once after the previous event by walking casually. Nevertheless, I took my time during this run as the finishing medals were guaranteed.
- Overall - A unique experience running with the Red Power Ranger!
That's right, I am a responsible & caring runner ;P
Many years from now, my future kids & grandkids will look at this photo with pride
I do not want to boastful here. But yes, I admit that I have come a long way now since I made the decision to come back to Christ again in early 2008. In 2010 alone, I have achieved so much especially in the area of sports. To be achieving something memang is a good feeling. However, they do not last forever. I want to stress out that there is more to life than just pursuing glory, power, fame & wealth.
(:At the end of the day, what really matters is relationships. The smile on your friend's face when he/she receives your gift on their birthdays, or holding hands together with your partner while watching a romantic movie in cinema, or the pat you gave your dog before leaving the house, or mom & dad giving you a kiss on the cheek during your graduation, or your colleagues sharing dirty jokes with you, or worshiping God during Sunday service, etc.These are the small little things I am yearning for. I'm not saying that excellence is no longer relevant, but we have to prioritize the things that are most important in our lives. Our loved ones & God should above everything else. Not career, studies nor materialistic stuffs as the other way around! If you gain the whole world but lose your soul along the way, then you'll just end up of being another Heath Ledger in the making. What's the point of that? Let's learn to love one another. Focus not on the destination, but rather more on the process. Amen ~
I'm glad I took leave from work for this"The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers" - Deepak Chopra
Sembilan belas!
Adrenaline rush ~
Didn't realize how soaking wet I was during that time haha!
A familiar face at various runs, Yimster. Check out his blog here
Let's finish this year with a bang shall we? ;)
