Check Point...

In certain period of your life, you just dread what you are doing and pray that time will fly. But in fact, time crawls and the pace tortures your every moment making you think how sucky your life is.

But after it, you realised that you had overcome something that you thought at that point of time you will not finish it or will not want to do it again. Funny human nature we all possessed.

Like a marathon, one should divide segment of the period you dread, settling intermediate goal and checkpoint. There's how people used to count their date to ORD.

Though 67 days seemed short, time really crawls at this point of time where you hoped that it will just speed up and go all the way down to less than 10 days. But too bad, it just won't happen.

Hence, the next date I'm looking forward is the 8th Sept where my understudy(ies) will commission and got to see them on 11th Sept. When this date arrives, Hehe..

21.1km Run of your Life...

26th Aug... the first and 'virign' time of completing 21.2km...

The feeling??

Unlimited amount of satisfaction.

Will not forget this 2hours of run...

The slope of Benjamin Sheares Bridge... The long and straight East Coast Park.. And the feeling of staring at the 20km placecard which gives you the extra strength to complete the entire run...

Next Stop: 2nd Dec...

Will it be deja vu?


But before there... Will consider a short run.. On 16th Sept...

Aimless...

This year seemed different compared to the last 20 yrs of my life....

No school, No homeworks, No exam, No timetable, No CCA, No result...

It is also unlike training in the army...

No exercise, No training programme, No pressure...

What is missing?

Tried setting goal... AHM, Diving, SCM, Class 3, Class 2B...

But no motivation... Not much drive to accomplish them... And no hurry to finish them...

Why?

Hope to find the motivation, discipline and 'seriousness' that I lost....

But how?

Perservance bears fruit?

Think most of you know where this comes from...



Can perservance bears fruit? I do agree that it is able to in certain area like this....


It does required us to perservance all the long, daunting, exhausting training in order for us to make it like what we are at that point of time. When I think back about the training, I doubt I am able to withstand it with the current attitude I have.

But does the above statement applies for all cases throughout our life? In my opinion, one area which it is unlikely to be true is in relationship.

Seriously, I questioned on how does relationship develops? Is it based on a few intrinsic and extrinsic factors? Is it based on the time and enivornment? Or before I answer these questions can relationship be judged rationally and logically?

Is always these questions that gave people the headache and people wasting time poundering on this matter. That is why parents like to say, "You are still young, don't get involved into relationship, study hard and be useful".

But why do I think this cannot be applied onto relationship? From many couples, relationship starts from a few reasons.

1. physically attracted

2. presence of 'feeling'

3. fate

Can perservance changes a person's physical look? Can perservance causes the development of 'feeling' and can perservance causes the forming of fate?

Only the second point is questionable and the rest are definately no, less you are considering of plastic surgery or being Bruce Almighty and start changing people's life.

It is this 'feeling' that is present in most/majority of couples that cannot be explained rationally or logically and I doubt anyone can defined explictly what it is and how it develops.

That is why some people felt that this gap gives chance for perservance to be the fuel to start sparks in couples.

But I strongly believe that it will not bear fruit. My reason is simple. If perservance does make you love a person, do you love him just because you get used to him/her or is it you are rewarding, feeling of guilt, what he/she has done for you.

Either way, if relationship starts, it will not like long.

Maybe perservance does bear fruit, as shown in Honour and Passion, where love is 'cultivated' by a mixture of perservance (never give up spirit) and a little of luck and fate. So is it better to just let nature takes it course rather than having a rational mind judging everything?

Love is magical.

Secret


Watched this show at Vivo with my gay partner Ponvin... lolz.. everytimes go Vivo always watch with him... somemore same cinema again.. but at least not the front row....
A rather nice movie.. I will give it 4 stars as the starting is abit slow and monotonous... But the climax and ending is nice and unexpected... Never though that this could happen... The love story was sweet and most gals will like this...
Then after that we met the rest for dinner to celebrate ZC and JW Bday....
Dun know why recently people like to be late.. meet at 7.. waiting time can extent more than half an hour.. why can't everyone just be on time so things can be started promptly...
After moving around vivo, we found a place with enough seats at The Mussel Guy... Quite jia lat and expensive ar.. but nvm, at least we spent a 'gd' time down there..
Haiz.. People get emo again... Why???? Is it so hard for us to come tgt and hv a peaceful meal?? Are we starting to take each other for granted???
I don't know...

.....

I would like to comment on what I observed that is of great disturbance and concern to the well-being of an individual....

1. People that likes to push things at the last minutes and expect it to be done like you are superman.

2. People who seems to help you solve a problem like your team member, but in the end brought you more shit.

3. People that pull you to his commitment and then just abandon you.

4. People that wants you to feel the suffering and mood of his demise.

5. People who likes to talk big and gets NOTHING done.

If you belongs to anyone of these people, please bother to reflect and think of your life and I believe it is time to do so. Also, help to contribute to make everyone happy or at least not troubles to others. Really appreciate alot if you can at least attempt to do so..

This brings me to the next point on leadership....

A leader who can show you what is our objectives and aims (the minimum)

A leader who will support you all the way and help to pick you up when you are down.... (ideal leader)

A leader who will expect the ideal set-up with him going down to the ground and helping out... (as of now, my CO fits this description.)

A leader who will expect the ideal set-up but not go down to the ground, not helping and thinking all of us are super warriors. (F**ked up person who does not deserve the rank and also does not deserve to be up there)
