5月30日,午夜12点
我开始了我人生的第一个马拉松 Adidas Sundown Marathon。为了要实现在人生步入第30个年头前的一个挑战。完成一个马拉松。之前一直想要为马拉松做点准备。最后在起跑的那一刻,我只在家后面的公园跑了2公里。不知道我要凭什么完成这其他的40公里。
开跑了。还没看到1公里的标志,我已经累了。该停下来吗?别跑了,用走的吧,我心想。但是身边的每个人都在跑着,如果我用走的,好没面子哦!妹妹跑着就跑到前面了。只有弟弟还在我的旁边。 不知不觉,我们跑到了5公里的标志。看见很多人都慢下了脚步。有的开始走路。我想这些人一定是在conserve energy,我还是继续跑,到了后面就不会落得太后面。我当晚的终止就是不能是最后一个完成马拉松的人。不知不觉我跑了7公里。这时弟弟和妹妹已经不见了。我们各自挑战我们的极限。
前面的21公里大家都火力十足。多数用快走或慢跑。我凭着实力同样的完成了21公里。在21公里的标志后,我的实力已经到此结束,剩下的只有毅力。那时我的手脚已经肿起来了。鞋子变得很窄。脚趾好痛。那时的我变成了行尸走肉,已经不管脚有多痛,只顾着往前走。看见身旁挑战84公里的大叔还在走着(那时碰到大叔时,他已经跑了67公里了),如果我停下来真是太不应该了。一路走,看见很多参赛者在公园的椅子坐下来休息。我也好想坐但是没有位但是看见空椅子时又不敢坐,因为怕会慢别人。有几次我坐了,看着其他参赛者一个一个从我眼前走过,我总感觉离最后一名越来越近。到了30公里,我就不坐了。到了37公里,接到妹妹的电话,说弟弟应为旧伤复发在35公里休息,可能会放弃。在39公里,妹妹超越了我,也接到爸爸的来电,说弟弟已经在回家的途中了。好可惜,已经到了35公里了,之前的努力白费了。但是他还年轻,没必要为了一个马拉松而可能弄到自己以后行动不便吧。
40公里后,那种心情不知道怎么形容。自己离目标越来越近了。眼前就是终点,已经完成的妹妹在终点的旁边喊:“大姐加油。还有一点点。用跑的!”
5月31日早上8点10分,我把脚痛抛在脑后,铆足了全力冲向终点。过后拿着奖牌和finisher t-shirt,好感动。虽然要花钱,赠品不多,还搞到一身痛,但这一切是值得的。这次的马拉松让我更了解自己。了解自己对工作和自己的态度。
这绝对是一个实力和毅力并肩的学习战。

TRUST BETRAYED
As a Christian, I thought I could trust all children of God. But today, I was proven wrong. One of them betrayed my trust for her own benefit (I think). To J, I hope you really benefited from this betrayal. I hope what you have done has saved your skin and your job. However, I do not attribute this to religion. I still love my God. This incident is purely a character problem.
Here's the whole story (though disappointing it's funny)
Let's welcome the characters....
J aka The Betrayal
C aka The Daughter
A aka The President
Last week I hitched a ride on J's car. As J is a Christian, I've decided to share with her my impending decision, hopefully I get a Christian point of view. I told J that I've only told her and asked her to keep it a secret. She's not to tell even the boss' daughter, C.
J: Of course. I won't say. I encourage you to go for it. If not for C, I would have left.
Today A asked me to her room.
A: I'm talking to you as a Christian. I heard that someone has approached you.
Me: Where did you hear it from?
A: Please don't be angry with the person. J told C and asked C not to tell me. But C had to tell me but asked me not to tell you.
Me: I am not angry. I am just disappointed that I have trusted the wrong person.
A: Please don't tell J that you know C and me know already.
The trust of 3 people betrayed. I am not going to tell on A. I'll just keep quiet until the whole thing is over. By then maybe it is no longer important.

有时没得选择是好的。。。
很多人会埋怨自己被逼到一个死角,没得选择。自己在做的事是情非得以的。但是事情做久了也就习惯了。慢慢得进入舒服,慵懒的状态。就在这个时候,选择慢慢浮现了。自己就会开始和现状和可能之间挣扎,纠缠。害怕保持现状会一成不变,害怕选择可能会自讨没趣。担心失去现状会百感交集,担心错过可能会后悔莫及。
是你会怎么选择?
是你会怎么选择?

如果一切重来。。。
有些事自己明明不喜欢但还是会做。
有些事明明做了也没意义但还是会做。
有些事明明做了知道会后悔但还是会做。
有些事明明知道是被利用但还是会做。
不了解为什么自己会去做这些事。
很多时候做了便自己对自己失望。
如果一切重来我还会去做这些事吗?
不做的结局会是怎样?
我一定就会喜欢那样的结局吗?
可能事情做多了便会喜欢呢?
可能事情真正的意义我还没摸清呢?
可能事情做了后悔是一种教训呢?
可能事情做了是互相利用呢?
我还会希望一切重来吗?
我这样的结局算好吗?

我生平第一次打999。。。
29 March 2009
昨天帮妈妈买的衣服有问题,所以回到Metro换。脚好痛。一定是昨天在gym跑步的时候扭伤的。换了衣服,便马上到Hereen前面的巴士站等车。巴不得马上能到家。好热哦!太好了,荧光屏显示我的巴士还有5分钟就到了。
突然有个漂亮的妇女走过来对我说:“会讲中文吗?”我点了点头,以为她是迷路的中国游客。妇女说:“我的孩子不见了。他上了前面那辆巴士。但我没看清楚巴士的号码。你能帮我吗?”我一时傻住了。天啊,我自己也不知道该做什么。我打了给transit link求助。然后决定打给警察。拨999的时候紧张死了。我要跟警察说什么?这是我生平第一次打给警察嘞。警察让我们在巴士站等他们。妇女的眼眶红了。我拍拍她的肩膀,妇女哭了。为了安抚她,我问了她一些问题,帮她分心。原来是倍读妈妈。孩子8岁。刚到新加坡2星期。他们是苏州人。不愧苏州出美女。
两位警察终于到了,问了几个问题,打了几通电话。突然妇女的电话响了。原来是儿子打来的。儿子说有路人把他带回酒店。那是又两名警察来到现场。好多路人都看着了我们。好像呐喊,“我没有犯法。我是好人na!”
带着妇女找德士,我的脚好像不痛了。走得很快。看着妇女上了德士,我功成身退。走回巴士站等车。这时脚又痛了。。。

Metro Sale Survival Tips
28 March, 2009
Today is Metro sale from 6pm - 11pm. I have a few items to buy. My mom's clothings, my mom's shoes, Clarins cosmetics and Clinque skincare. Today's sale is slightly different there is an additional 10% discount on top of the usual 20% discount during sale. The cashier's queue has started at 5.30pm. Here's some survival tips that I have learnt.
1. Get a man to stand in the queue while you shop. By the time you're done shopping, it's your time to pay.
2. Decline having your cosmetics being placed at the cashier of your choice (Metro cosmetic section usually puts your chosen items at the cashier that you will be making your payment. They will give you a coupon to redeem your products.) During sale, the cashier usually turns up in a mess and the cashiers usually can't find your things. With your items in hand, you can choose the cashier will the shortest queue.
3. Don't queue at the cosmetics level. Try going to the women's clothings department or the men's department to pay. The queues are much shorter there.
I finish my shopping at 7pm. With 45min spent in the queue...

我回来了!
快要一个月了。我的柬埔寨4天3夜游的blog终于完成了。开始了blog才发现有好多人想到柬埔寨却不知从哪里开始计划。朋友和妹妹的朋友看了blog都觉得资料蛮仔细的。至少多数的重点都有了。突然有种想法。可能我可以做个travel journalist。帮杂志写travelogue。哈哈哈!想太多。。。
最近很容易疲累。连到gym的力气都没有。想到要运动就想睡觉。天啊!这样下去,我不肥死才怪。
