A day of rest, fun, laughter and enjoyment

Got to sleep in bed till 330pm, it’s the only day to sleep in late and to catch up on those sleep debt over the school days. Miss volleyball training today with the B girls, sometime i really ask myself if i like playing volleyball. I love the game of volleyball but playing volleyball hmmmm… i don’t really play fearing that i will sprain my ankle. This fear has been holding me back for years. Think about it again, my ankle has been well conditioned over the year already. Nothing should hold me back just need to take a few precaution and pray before play.

I went for my weekly run – 4km (25 minutes)

Time to kick out my laziness and get into shape, damn sian about the way i look and the fitness level. EEEEeee…shake that fats off. Going to carry on with this exercise regime and healthy eating to shed those unwanted fats and get my life back in shape.

Pirate Party

First time having a dress up party in Swensen. Having super on friend who are not paiseh to wear and play along add on to the fun.

MIB

Love the show with it’s super techy weapons especially the cover that shows the mask of the background. It shows the political issue between Russia and the US, not the only movie talking about nuclear war between the two country. Salt also showed the same rival between the two nations, make one wonder whether if it is really happening.

Quote of the movie ” If you’re my friend, they are also your friend.”

Give it 4 popcorns out of 5.

Our love for running brought us through another half marathon.

Another year, another marathon, another route but with the same old friends who are crazy about running.

This year was the toughest race i ever ran.

One is i wasn’t prepared for it, i didn’t train much or not even put in the effort for to train. This i will have to blame myself for making the run painful. It showed me something today, the mind is the most powerful organ in our body.

It’s mind over body!

My mental strength is so weak. Woke up today not feeling excited, questioning why am i doing this and kinda influence by the negativity of YQ. During the race, I totally want to give up i the first 5km, having to walk after the first hill. Question of whether my body can take it? I realize a pattern once i start questioning, it give me room for doubt. If i believe this doubt and compromise, the self motivation is shaken and the self belief is taken away.

Eg. During the race, i think i feeling light headed.

Assess yes.. Maybe i should take a walk..Walk..

Brain: Everytime you feel light headed walk

When the body gets tired, it sends a message: you are feeling light head please walk!!

Mentally Strong: Am i really feeling light head. No! block out the feeling, you are ok just keep running.

Mentally Weak: No!!! Walk walk walk

That’s what i battled with today. I felt sucky for not training and putting myself through the torture, fun is being taken away.

I’m happy today for completing the race knowing i have broken through some barriers and i have done my best.

Good Job All Who Completed the Race Today

New Year Resolution 

1. Sleep enough

2. Exercise regularly to enjoy any race

Still thinking whether to still join the marathon.

Keep it for another day to decide on the race that i want to join next year.

J getting married

Today i received an event invitation on facebook. It’s Mr J getting married and i’m invited for his church wedding. The question is to go or not to go? The thought of going gives me this awkward feeling cuz i lost contact with him after he left for Perth. If i go i’ll feel weird and not knowing what to say to him.

The tingling feeling comes when you know that hey that girl actually could be me. But the question then i’ll ask myself, what when on then?

Could i take a long distance relationship?

Actually can if both maintains and eventually settle back down in one place. The trust and the faith in each other despite not seeing each other. However, i wonder again if i’ll be insecure without him. Maybe i would but it will be nice to have a shoulder to lie on when I need him there.

A good closure to the both of us.

Good memories at how he introduce cycling and photography to me. Give him my blessing and continue looking for my prince.

A Day of Indulgence

Indulging in all the pleasures of this world.

Food, Movies,Music, Champaign, Desserts

If everyday is like this, happiness will be the top word in everyone’s dictionary.

Hand made popiah from Chinatown market to start the journey of indulgence after collecting the Visa and tour tickets from people’s park complex. I can’t wait to fly away for holiday and explore Australia, more indulgence there with the beaches to die. I’m going to be a beach bummer…

Followed by authentic Hong Kong dim sum lunch with Daddy & Mummy down at Victor Kitchen in Sunshine Plaze. The place makes me feel like i’m back in Hong Kong, sitting a small cozy restaurant in the afternoon to yum cha and eat dim sum. A must to try at this place is their delicious ice cool lemon coffee and Golden custard buns. The lemon takes the bitterness out of the coffee giving it a refreshing start and end to the meal. The famous golden custard bun once tear apart, a river of yellow custard flows out and the aroma makes you want to bite into it. (Caution hot!! Don’t burn your tongue if not you will start talking like duffy duck)

Volleyball Girls Farewell

Volleyball team had a farewell party for the graduating secondary 4 today, a emotional event especially for the secondary 3 to see how they appreciate their senior and missing them. Tears flowing as they gave their speeches, it brings back memories to my own volleyball days.

Wong said it right volleyball keep us all together and in tune with God. Looking at how far my batch has come, today i only keep in touch with Kelly and Cheryl. The rest we have lost contact after JC, now a day with the heavy work schedule even meeting kelly and cheryl become a monthly thing. I miss secondary days where we see each other every day.

Jittery Feeling

Exciting to watch my volleyball girls roaring lively during their game with Jurong as they went neck in neck in the first set winning 25-23, thrashing them 25-5 in the second set.

This showed me something about my girls

 If they want it, they can achieve it.

Is it their will to win plus the ability to eliminate fear and failures that brought them to success?

Observing one of my girls whose fears drove her to lose confident in herself and thus affected her performance. Fear does cripple us sometimes. Makes me wonder further..so why are we so fearful?

This shall be my research for this week…

Asking people what are they fearful of.
