It is simply amazing that I completed 10 km in about an hour time. Mount Faber 10km with its long slopes. And I did not really push myself in doing it. Gosh, given a flat route, I may able to finish 10km is less than 1 hour. Then a marathon (42km) could be finished in about 4 hours.
Amazing! Thinking about it.
One thing for sure is I got change my current pair of running shoe. My ASIC Nimbus 9 is not cut for long distance running.

The world is a stage
Growing older, meeting new people, going thru familiar emotions in new places does bring a certain wonder and realisation that the world is a stage.
Regardless of what they say about how no two person are alike, you tends to find there are certain class of people with the same way of thinking, responding in the same way to the same triggers even when they are two different persons.
It a certain wonder that someone out there will have realized much earlier and make good use of it. Hopefully, for the good and not the bad.

Life Choices
Sometimes, you know you need time to make a choose from the two. Time to understand both of them better. To find who they are inside. You thought it will be just one of them in the end because you are tired of searching and will make the best of what is available.
For one who is more closer to your life values but is a workaholic and more in love with her job. You know you will be always be second priority in her life with work right in front of you. You are happy when she talked about changing her life priority but that all talks and no real action.
The other who you enjoy better conversations and in doing so, discovers that she may just needs a companion and you wonders if she is really to settle down. And the doubts prevented you to return her feelings. Maybe, if you have spoken honestly and sincerely to her, it would somewhat bridge the gaps that was created. Then when you tried, it was too late.
You began with a good starts and finished with none of them. Its surprised you that it is neither.
Time do help you to find out more about a person and this episode taught you it is best to talk what is in your heart instead of waiting for tomorrow to say it.

Pain blinded her and drained her friend sympathy
How do you comfort a gal who is in so much pain? That even if she can hear the advise and encouragement from her friend, she is ignoring them?
So blinded by pain that she failed to see her constant negativity is cutting a rift in her friendships. Her stubbornness in believing in her own perception of what happening.
Unable to see that she is the innocent party, unable to see he is the liar, unable to see that her strong desire to reunite is blinding her clarity in thinking, unable to see that she is caught in downward spiral toward total despair.
How do you comfort a gal who is in so much pain? I guess you cant. Except to be wait for her to wake up. And be there to help her climb out of that spiral she had dug herself in.

BIB 796 15km 01:33:22
2nd time and a longer distance, the experience was different, less enjoyable compared to last year. It is not the weather, for it was cooler and beezer this year. It is not the longer distance, for last year shorter distance was tougher.
Maybe, it is this year run reminds me how much one year had since past. From then to now, so much happened, so much more compared to 2 years ago. So much more on the personal front.
An older eyes and a reflecting mind saw the same running route differently. Knowing the way of route leads means knowing how far away the ending is. But in life, how often do you know where one path ends and another begins?
Did I secretly wished that the end of the race means the end of the current road I am travelling now? Nope.
:) It is have faith and to trust in God that all will be well, for he is a good God.
In the end, I got to meet up with some people I lost touch with and gained a new friend.
ps: the first 5 km was not too tough, it the last 5km that was really a struggle. I am quite surprised I am able to clock 1hr 33 min even when I half walk and run in the last 3 km. It will be a better and faster timing if I had trained more to improve my stamina.

Taxis driver
He spoke in a fluent, elegant and perfect English. His slim frame and angular face fit well in coolie environment. From his speech, I know he is not the typical taxis driver, he is someone who is well educated and have more experience compared to me. Yet, he is driving me in his well-worn nondescript SMRT car to my destination.
"I am happier now. Responsible for myself only and occasionally have nice customer, like you, to talk to and share our thoughts. I used to have 80 people working under me and I did not enjoy it. I decided to wing up the company and do this. I am a more happy person now." He said.
Dai Lama said life purpose is to be happy. How true it is. It does not take riches or high position to be happy. Material things only bring ephemeral joy. To be positive and happy is all in the mind.
