i am
i guess.
someone was talking about havin this x mas party that has one of those mistletoe things that anyone who walks below it at the same time have to kiss according to tradition.
i wish i was born in a country like tat.
on sunday i completed one of the goals i set for this yr.
with so so much to lose (a beautiful adidas t shirt that says the above), and so little chance to ever do a marathon again, i decided that i will finish the race no matter how.
and so i did.
my legs hurt like never before. this is the first time i went ahead and finished despite having not any preps at all, due to the never ending exams n stuff (i finished exams only 2 days before the race. and believe mi i din even have time to sleep, not to mention train for the race.)
i went to the race at 0540 in the morning, thanks to my darling shar, and miraculously went on to see yong howe, my youthful and energetic spiritual mentor, in the midst of that thousands of people or so, right in the heart of esplanade. he said God had a part to play in that.
i totally agree.
God is trying to humble me i guess. in cases where i overestimate myself. and i think i do tend to.
Shar's Dad is hell of a happening highly paid Dad i know around. guess wat, he's learning to play a xmas carol song from shar now in the room with us! how's that for a Dad of 3 in his fifties? i wana be a Dad like him.
so well. whats next? wheres the next hill that i have to overcome? whats the next feat that i'm gonna tell people i am doing that makes people go " you siao ah?" untouchable GPAs? or maebe an ironman.? i know.. perhaps the Great Wall of China? lets see.
i hope i have many more marathons to come.
