Tokyo Marathon

22 March 2009
More than 30,000 runners participated in the race.
Everybody look like tiny spots from above.....hahaa


I wonder if ever marathoners in Malaysia ever dress up like this.....

That will definitely give me more motivation to run the race......kekeke


Then I can tell people : I beat SPIDERMAN !!! (if I ever beat him..or her....)
Tepuk tangan untuk juara-juara "Tokyo Marathon" (Didn't know how to say marathon in BM......my lousey knowledge of bahasa....)
Kenya's Salim Kipsang

Japan's Mizuho Nasukawa
finished with 2 hours 25 minutes 38 seconds

The NEED to RUN
(and the need to buy a new pair of running shoes)

Via Dolorosa

I was reminded of how great my God's love is as Easter is approaching....

And suddenly thought of this song, so I went to cari the lyrics and found a video clip of a very nice instrumental (guitar) version of this song.....the guy is so geng ler !! (The link at the bottom)

Via Dolorosa

Down the Via Dolorosa
In Jerusalem that day
The soldiers tried to clear the narrow street
But the crowd pressed in to see
The Man condemned to die
on Calvary

He was bleeding from a beating
There were stripes upon His back
And He wore a crown of thorns
Upon His head
And He bore with every step
The scorn of those who cried out
For His death

Down the Via Dolorosa
Called the way of suffering
Like a lamb came the Messiah
Christ the King

But He chose to walk that road
Out of His love
For you and me

Down the Via Dolorosa
All the way to Calvary

The blood that would cleanse
The souls of all men
Made its way to the heart
Of Jerusalem

Down the Via Dolorosa
Called the way of suffering
Like a lamb came the Messiah
Christ the King

But He chose to walk that road
Out of His love
For you and me

Down the Via Dolorosa
All the way to Calvary

And I said no to jogging

Haiz.....
Everybody I know tell me NOT to jog during midnight........
They are right, but I feel so wierd on pasing on a chance to jog
I debated with myself whether or not to go.........
why not? I told myself
But then the danger and risk involved outweighted my desire to jog.
So.........
Haiz.........

How can I say no to jogging?

It's been soooooo long since I jogged......

I'm getting old and losing stamina .........haha

But then last night, my cg friends ajak me go jogging

Guess what time we went jogging????!!!!!

12 am !!!!

My very first midnight jog.



We went jogging at eastlake area, there was no cars and alot of bullshit (yes, bull punya shit),
the air was cool, and it was very refreshing.

After jogging then 'keng gai' abit...... reach home about 1:45am

Feel so syok after running/jogging.

It's refreshing after all the suffocating boredom here



While jogging I just want to forget all my troubles, frustrations, useless worries

Just run

Run like there isn't a care in the world



Run the race, keep my pace, keep my eyes on Jesus

"Failing to forgive is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die."

I need a break

I typed and deleted and typed and deleted this post many times
Thinking of whether or not to post this
It makes me feel so vulnerable

I'm so tired now, I need a break
It's not like being only physically tired but also mentally tired
I keep setting goals for myself
Expectations
Hopes
But now, I just want to let it all go
And I question myself "Is it all worthwhile?"
'Not my will but Yours be done'

I need somebody I can depend on......
Thank You Jesus for never leaving me nor forsaking me
Thank God for good friends
I owe a big thank you to them
So here it goes.......
THANKS !!!!!

who are my friends?

This was originaly written on paper on friday

This is a good time to write a story.
I' sitting alone at the ground floor of block b,
it's pouring cats and dogs outside.
My jeans are drenched, and so are my spirits
It's 6:04 m.
My friends have all gone back a few hours ago, my house mates left for home yesterday night and today morning respectively.
the campus is nearly deserted, it's all dark and they already turned on the night lights.
Every face I see now is unfamiliar. Talk about lonely!

It started out on wednesday, I'm rushing to pass up 2 of my assignments today(friday), I was SS! (short for Super Stressed)
The 2 assignments I had to pass up was law and accounting (dehumanizing subjects)

All the assignments wereonly half way done. There were 3 qestions for the law assignment, me and a friend was supposed to do Q3, then the other 2 friends do Q1. Q2 was supposed to be done together and discussed. Somehow under circumstances which I do not wish to explain, nobody got answers for Q2, and the result was I had to do it. It was not easy to do Q2, let me repeat, NOT EASY. I felt like I just got slapped in the face.

After alot of stinking hours, and having not finished law yet, I got really cranky, and my classmates from another assigment group decided to come to my house and ask me something about accounts. My brain was having difficulty shifting from law mode to accounts mode. I suddenly had alot of friends.

It feels really empty, realy.

Then with that weird feeling in my gut, I finalized Q2 of the law assignment.Then only I went to bathe at 1 am......
After that I proceeded to go through the accounts assignment. Then only did I realize, that there was a BIG problem with the accounts assignment, the figures were wrong, the analysis not complete, as a result, SS!
I only slept at 2 something in the morning.

The next day, thursday, Idecided to plough through the accounts assignment, correct whatever mistakes and edit some parts.
I skipped 2 lectures and ate my branch (breakfast + lunch) at 3.30pm.
I felt my life shortened dramatically by a few years.

吃不饱,睡不好

At night, another group member (senior) came over to my house to finish the accounts assignment.
THANK YOU, LORD!

I'm surprised that the guy was really friendly and had lots to talk about. Don't judge a book by it's cover, another lesson learnt. But then i was classified into the guai guai, silly study type girl.
Why do we streotype people?

Today, friday, I began to question myself, Who are my friends? Sometimes I feel spitefully used. People approach me when they need help, but apart from that I'm invisible.
I've always known people like these in my life, especially in secondary school.
Oh, let me see, maybe I'm too boring or stupid t be equivalent to a friend. Yes, I' depressed, and i'm venting out my frustration here.

Now it's 7:18 pm and it's still raining outside, I had managed to cycle back without being considerably wet.
I closed my eyes, trying to be strong.
Stop being so stupid, I had to tell myself
My emotional state and my mental state is always contradicting

Who are my friends? And where are they?

人比人,比死人

I live in a world where people constantly compare themselves with other people, it's an on-going torment, like "why is she prettier than me?","why people listen to him and not me?","why do I struggle and fail when people find it so easy to ovecome problems?","why am I so stupid?"(classic)
Comparing ourself against one another have been like the essence of our lives, if so, what meaning is there? What are we proving for?
We are never, maybe I should just speak for myself, I am never satisfied with what I have, I always have to go and compare myself with others, I'm such an idiot.
And my devotion today proved to be useful to teach me and to remind me to be thankful for what I have.



Reflections on the Sayings of the Desert Fathers

A brother who was living among other brothers asked Abba Bessarion : What should I do?
The old man replied: Be silent, and do not measure yourself against the others.

It's tempting to compare ourselves with other people.

Comparing ourselves with people can lead us down the slippery slpoe: we see what people have or don't have; we wish for what we do not have or gloat at what they do not have; eventually we fall into envy, greed, self-hatred or pride.

the process of falling into sin often begins when we measure ourselves against others. Such compulsive behaviour eventually feeds our lust and makes us proud of our possesions and abilities (1 john 2:16)

Be watchful, lest you fall into sin

when was the last time you compared yourself with others? just now? Did any of these tendancies cause you to sin?
Notice the people, time and place that cause you to measure yourself against others.
Ask Jesus to help you 'silence' these thoughts, and give thanks for the abilities of other people.

growing up

It's been a long time since i blogged, due to the very extremely stressful final exams that just passed. I'm grateful for being able to go to Kampar, thank God that He let me serve Him there, I actually learned alot. Growing up mentally as well as spiritually, being more independant brought me to realize how much i depended on my parents to solve all my problems for me in the past. i didn't grow much physically though, i just got skinnier and darker (which is no good) (i will never understand the people who really wants to be skinny and dark)

Anyway, I just started working and I love my job, I'm working in a law firm (kinda small but i think i can call it a firm) as a clerk. Sorting out documents and filing is the basic thing I do, I got to learn alot while working here, it's like being paid to learn.... I love it.

I got great colleagues and a really friendly boss, although I have to take the extremely crowded buses to work, have to wake up super early and eat terrifyingly expensive lunches, I think it's still worth it.

Growing old is inevitable, but growing up is optional.
