I did it!

Sunday, 24th July 2011.
It was such a memorable day for me.
In my pursuit to lead a healthy lifestyle, i decided to join the annual SHAPE RUN 2011. I joined the 5km run..

Now, as someone who was not an avid jogger, i was a little worried..i thought i would give up halfway...my feet was aching, my heartbeat so fast, my face red and sweaty and i was gasping for air..it was really a challenge both physically and mentally.

Before the run, my heart was beating, i was nervous...luckily i had my husband there to give me his support..he had been my pillar of strength. :)

Throughout the run, i battled with myself..part of me was giving up, another part was telling me to keep going, never give up and that i can do this...i even chugged 3 cups of isotonic drinks, which i so despise! :s Just for the sake of finishing the run..

Just when i hit the 4km mark, i saw my husband standing there waiting for me, my morale was definitely boosted! *i know im so drama, as if im running in a marathon!* but it was my first time, and i knew i had to do my best even if it is just for fun..:D

Finally! When i saw the finishing line, i ran like i never ran before, well partly because i badly need to pee! Haha..

Finishers were given a medal! When i looked at it, i felt a surged of emotion. I had finished a 5km run and proved to myself that i can do it! :D





I.am.proud.of.myself. :D

Patience, My Dear Girl, Patience













Patience is virtue.
We are always tested and challenged in many ways, everyday without fail.
Sometimes we just feel like giving up.
Why?
We ask.

As I grow older, I think I lost my patience somewhere along the road.
This is too much! why are they doing this to me?why cant I just get what I want?
why is it so hard to achieve my dreams? Why is this happening to me?
There's just too many WHYs in my life.

And then, a few days ago, it struck me like a lightning.
Patience, my dear girl, patience.

Patience is not about waiting, but keeping the good attitude while waiting.
What have I been doing while waiting?
I have been questioning too many things, which I myself am shameful for.

Not everything that we want will be good for us,
and not everything that we don't, is not good for us.
Only He knows best.

And then I told myself,
Patience, my dear girl, be patient.

Good things will come to those who wait. :)
