Day 51 of GC

I met a former student during Thursday's cooking session. Really surprise that he still remember me. However, I just couldn't recall him at all. Think I need to recheck my passion and enjoy time with my students all over again. Thank you for the joy!

Peer Pressure

Peer pressure - what is it really? When I was young, my mother always like to compare me with my neighbours and friends. Most of the time I'm at the lower end of the scale. I really hated it. I never ask to be compared but she kept doing it right infront of me. Hence I swear, I will never compete with anyone except myself. That's when I really felt relaxed. Thinking of how others will out do u or how they want to see u as a person is very tiring. Many a times we cannot see thru the other person, be it our friends or even family, so our brains play trick on us making us think that so and so is out to backstab me, talk bad about me, want to beat me in my results. Really, peer pressure comes from yourself. If u think that person is going to compete with u then it becomes true and u keep forcing yourself to out do that person and when you don't u feel disappointed. It is really how you feel about yourself that matters, have confident about yourself. The next time someone say, &

My journey to mark 42 years of my life

I intend to use this post to mark my journey to 42 years of my life. I intend to run 42 km, the equivalent of a marathon in December this year to remember every year of my life and to make this a key milestone. I want to conquer this mission i took up to celebrate my life and to enjoy whatever is to come.  The route I planned starts from where I live and goes round the North-East and East coast of Singapore. The most challenging part of the route would be the Changi Coast Road, where there will be no pit stop, no water point. I guess that's the challenge I have to overcome running my own marathon, no cheer leaders, no pacers, no masseurs to massage my tired legs and no first aid. I currently only put on paper a distance of 40 km. My target is to complete it within 5 hours, given my condition and also for pit stops along the way. To be continued......

Day 37 of GC

Positive attracts positive. I was running this morning and I was having a negative mindset, I was trying to chase two guys in front of me. Wanting to keep pace with them but I slowly watch them get out of my sight because I couldn't keep up. I suddenly have an idea, I put on a smile on my face and started to greet strangers running past me "Good Morning". Those who responded to my greetings smile and it gave me the energy to continue running. Now, my mind wasn't on running anymore, I was looking for the next stranger to greet and to get a response from. It was beautiful and I manage to finish my run with any problem. I'm so grateful to reaching out first. Photo by  Arleen wiese  on  Unsplash
