chew-able love.

i don't know exactly how i made it through the past month, but i know i couldn't have done it without Jesus nor my family who have showed me unconditional love and support in more ways than one. it's funny how i have tons of photographs with everyone else, but when it came down to finding a family photo, it's like searching for a needle in a haystack. shows how much we often take what we have right beside us for granted.

i love you.

private access only.

i got bored with always running in circles around my house, so i asked my father to build me a road. it's got to be extremely straight, with marked lanes (in case i want to organise races), and a great view. how sweet of him to have obliged!

my papa's road

i went for a test run today with mummy and boy must i say i'm extremely satisfied with it. there's even a gently sloping bridge with great views of one of the rare rivers and forest left in singapore.

mummy testing the freshly laid tracks

the best part is, it's linked from my house all the way to jalan kayu. running straight down to roti prata heaven!

big bird in motion

see, told you i'm delirious with my new road. too bad my dad says i gotta share it with the rest of singapore soon. =/

p.s. did i mention that the view of the sunset along the road is absolutely stunning? it's like forrest gump running towards heaven. love love love it! =)

life story.

the thing about life is that you'll never know what will be thrown in your face. it could be lollypops one moment and lemons the next. just when you think you're being thrown the worst shit ever, you take a look around and realise that everyone around you is handling their own too, in one way or another.

but the thing about His promise is that not all things may be good, but it will definitely work out for good.

we keep moving forward, and on some days we move a few steps back, but every moment is an experience in itself. at the end of each step, we learn and we grow - stronger and wiser.

even heroes have their bad days too.

you'll just have to pick yourself up, dust the dirt off your ass, give a megawatt smile and embrace the rest that life has to offer. after all, it's mostly good stuff isn't it? =)

woohoo!

no sub-60 but happy nonetheless considering the crowd and slopes. p.s. check out ex-hwa chongian mok ying ren in 3rd place!


finally completed my first ever 10km run! a big thanks to mike who accompanied me and ran beside me even though he could have zoomed off into the sea of red. the nike singapore organisers must have had a earful because the run wasn't very well planned at all. the routes weren't exactly scenic, it was so crowded that there were human jams, all i smelled most of the way was the other 11,000 people's sweat in the air and people were brushing past me every second. being extremely sensitive to my private space (you know those kind where i'd get annoyed if people stood too close to me on the train), it wasn't the most pleasant of runs for me. there were also many up and down slopes which really killed my thighs and they're aching like hell today. thank god mike was there to encourage me and yes i finally ran a corporate race!
