Run!Run!Run!

I need to start running seriously again. Happily of course. Just a bit more disciplined than I was lately. I think my weight is not getting any lesser.

Coincidentally too, I have been feeling like I need to get away for a while. I'm not sure what it is exactly that I really need to get away from but sometimes I feel suffocated by everything that is going on through my head. I even started to dream so much of things that I hate and things that I wish for. Omg. I know. Sometimes I think that there might be something wrong with me. So I think beside jogging, I also need to run away to some place where I can get a peace of mind.

Maybe I should just go for an unplanned trip once in a while. Even better, I should just pick any location now and buy me an overnight plane tickets or bus tickets or train tickets...whatever it is. The tickets sound weird to me now after repeating the sentence through my head.

I have a small world globe like this in the room. Almost the same shape and color. Bought it during that first visit to Singapore.

I just want the whole world to stop for a while. Please let me wander around as long as I want and let me be at every places I need to be.

Reasons Why

or

T-R-Y

Oh baby we can fight like dogs we can fight like cats

A dirty laundry needs a laundry man

Maybe the king and the queen should lay off the caffeine

Baby breathe before you react

Sometimes we do forget to behave

And we regret what we say

Cause words are too weapons

If we don't choose'em carefully

Ladies and gentlemen this is instrumental

If life's to be a bed of roses

I know i gave you everything you like

Because you still give me butterflies

If we just try try try

Just to be ni-ni-nice

Then the world would be a better place for you and I

If we just live our lives

Putting our differences aside

Oh that would be so beautiful to me

Are we just dangling in the middle of a galaxy

Well i'm stoked on gravity

To be stuck with you like flowers on the dew drops

Now let it in my direction

My direction is up when everybody's down

Cause i don't mind being anybody's clown

I love a little lift cause i'm an optimistic

In an altruistic way

Cause basically this place is needing instruments of harmony

Spreading my philosophy of love and inspiration

Oh these words I speak I commit to like a crime

With a rhythm i deliver i'm giving them a picture

Of the reasons why

We should just try try try

Just to be ni-ni-nice

So the world could be a better place for you and I

If we just live our lives

Putting our differences aside

Oh that would be so beautiful to me

Well it wouldn't cost a penny but could save so many lonely lives

From teary eyes

If we just try try try

To open up a can of understanding open up your heart

I'm just planting seeds

Cause i believe

We could just try try try

Just to be ni-ni-nice

So the world would be a better place for you and I

If we just live our lives

Putting our differences aside

Oh that would be so beautiful to me

If we could try, just to be nice

oh That could be so beautiful to me

I believe,

that could be so beautiful to me

Reading My Way Through Life

It has been a while since the last time I read a book and COMPLETED IT WITH JUST A FEW HOURS. That's the indication of how much I ENJOYED the book I have just finished reading. Although I did feel a bit disappointed of the ending, one that I felt ended too soon when I was hoping for more reconciliation and elaborated happy ending pages after all of what each of the character have gone through. Nevertheless, it was a VERY GOOD read I could not really get enough of it in the end.
 
Anyway, I guess all those writers did it sometimes. To not gives you everything and leave some for your imagination and let you decide how it's going to end. It happen a lot in movies too. Those movies that ends abruptly and leaves you wondering whether there's a second sequel to it or it was purposely done to let  your mind play tricks on you - something like that.

This is the first book that I read from this author, Meg Rosoff and I'm LOOKING FORWARD to read more of her writings after this.

Run Your Butt Off!

I used to hate dislike running. I couldn't see any point in just running from one point to another without a ball to kick or a racket to swing at the same time. I did a lot of sports but I was never the runner type.

It all started to change once I got into the working world. I didn't have friends to play basketball or volleyball anymore and the only alternative were badminton or ping-pong (both never been my strongest or favorite games)...and I started gaining weight...kg to kg. I know for myself that it will be hard for me at first to like or do something that I'm not really good at or familiar with but I also do know that if I try hard enough, I'll be just fine and it will turn out great.

Just last week, I did a charity run for Husky. I mean for the SPCA Penang but we (together with Wel & Jew) kind of tribute it to Husky. Jew printed a picture of Husky and laminated it with dog-quote words and pinned it at the back of our running shirt.

This coming Sunday, we will all be running again for the Beach Run 'Race Against Time' in Batu Ferringi which is a run to boost awareness of organ donation. Now it does feel good to run and do something good at the same time. Apart from personal reason or goal for running, you can do your part for the community too. Isn't that great?

Despite my obvious change of heart on running, it might not be everyone's cup of tea but if you feel that you want to try it out (cause you'll never know if you never try either right), then I'll say...go for it! Run slowly at first...listen to some music to distract the temptation of stopping and I assure you that you'll feel like the healthiest people on earth after you are done with it.
