It's been quite a while since I last 'penned' down my thoughts and life. Many things had happened since then. Some of them are :
1) I ran 21km
2) ...
All right, I forgot quite a lot of things that happened. Darn! I guess I'll need to update this blog as frequent as possible to not miss out any important events in my life. All right! At least twice a month.
Anyway, my semester break was a fairly interesting one. It started slowly as I was trapped in Kampar for the 1st week of my 2-week break. It was good though, life as how it is - no worries, no responsibilities, no purpose, no life. Well, you get the point, it was just lifeless.
On week 2, I attended Transform camp organized by the UTAR CF group from Setapak. It was really beneficial, I've learn lots and lots of stuff, met lots and lots of people and had lots and lots of fun. And I got my 1st cramp over there. It was in the swimming pool by the way. There were lots of girls. So I got to hopped with one leg till the cramp wears off. Thank God that I got that cramp in swallow waters. (Why am I typing like a small kid? I have no idea. I guess that's how excited I am :) ) God keeps reminding to me how wonderful His love is every single day. The unfathomable love. Ah.. Amazing, just amazing grace and mercy.
There's the emo Aaron event. Apparently something unfavorable happened. But I believe God will guide him through this part of life and he will emerge much stronger and better than before. Thus, I highly suggest and recommend that every man should at least have 1 heart break in their life time - but I do sincerely bless those who got the right one from the start.
Lastly, the last semester break meal with Kharis and Rosemary was a memorable one. It's simple straight heart to heart talk. Though we try our best not to touch each others sensitive spot, the conversations are meaningful and just right there from the heart. No one is trying to win over anyone. Just plain simple, sincere and warm. I thank God for all these wonderful people in my life. Amazing, just amazing grace. :)

The Return of the Frog
It's been awhile, the frog is back. I'll keep it short and simple. This post is to immortalize my triumph over my fears and failures. After 20 long minutes of staring and shaking, I managed to burst out 10 seconds of courage in catching the frog that lingered in my toilet. I have a feeling this triumph is just a beginning of something new in my life! To all the frogs in my life, I a, gonna find you, catch you and dispose you, one by one. If I can't do it today, I can't do it tomorrow either! Lord, hear me!

Life..
Life, it is something so tough, yet so fragile. So strong, at the same time so weak. So full of purpose whilst being meaningless. Living and dying. Joyous and sad. Sweet yet bitter. What am I doing in my life, you asked? I am still learning. But this word, life, it is something so close to me but I don't seem to be able to understand it. This life. What life?
Deep thoughts aside, I've not updating this blog for almost 2 months now. So I am gonna write what I did today. Carrots, pepper, chicken, and onions. That pretty much sums up what I did today. It turned out a little salty but I am grateful that I am able to provide what I promised.
Assignments, assignments and assignments. My target is to finish up everything by this week. I am also going to join a full marathon in Penang this November (not yet registered). It will be great.
Updates aside, I dedicate this post to the policeman that was tortured by the Sulu terrorists. You've made me see the world differently. I thank you for all your contribution. You've made me understand the reality of humanity. May you rest in peace.

Unforgettable Start to 2013!
All glory to God! There is no better start to the new than this. Exactly on 1 January 2013, I've the one! The one that kept me accompanied for 2 days, food poisoning. I am down with fever, diarrhea, headache, body ache and many more of their friends. And I would not exchange this experience for any other start. Anyway, I am better now, so I am going to dedicate myself to do lots of awesome stuff.
By the way, I've managed to accomplished 33.33% of last years list of things to do and I am pretty proud of my little accomplishments. It only motivates me to do better this year. I have a feeling it will be a great year. More events, more activities, more goals, more fun, more God. It'll be great, until then, I am going to take my pills, just in case, my friend is hiding somewhere in me. :)

Dreams
Dream. What a beautiful word. Apparently, I realized recently that I do not really have any dreams. Say there is 4 type of people - Dreamer, dream seeker, dream chaser, and dream liver - I would say I am a dreamer for the last 6-7 years. Pathetic isn't it? Thus, I am going to transition myself to the next level, the dream seeker. I will find a dream where I will be proud and comfortable with. It may not be money or fame, but I do hope it will be a dream worth chasing and at the end of my life, I would say my life is well spent chasing an awesome dream. For now, I will continue to literally, DREAM ON!!

Colorful
The skies in my place are surprisingly beautiful the past few days. The clouds, the mountains, the birds, the rain, the plants, the flowers, the lake, the people, the grass and other inanimated objects, the colors are so vivid and bright. Everything I see is in high definition. Ah, if only I have a camera in my hand to capture these moments before its gone. Hmm.. Maybe I should get one..

Done! (Half-marathon)
21.1km -- DONE
AMEN, AMEN and AMEN.
3 o' clock in the morning on the 18th of November 2012, I with 8,999 other participants embarked on an adventure of conquering the Penang Bridge International Marathon's half-marathon category for the last time on the old bridge. It was undoubtedly one of my most memorable events for a long long time. Truthfully speaking, I was actually half awake throughout the run.
It was the hardest run I had ever ran. I've been running at least one 12km/ week for the last 3 months, yet I had never face anything do physically draining in my life. In fact, on the 10th of November, I did a close 17km with some of the TMM members. I thought that 21km would not be too difficult.
The 2 x 1km stretch of uphill along the bridge is both mentally and physically challenging. I am grateful for all the water stations available along the run, though it will always be overly crowded with other runners. I also thank God that he provide me with the endurance to run non-stop till the 18km mark, whereby I was literally wanting to cry by then. I was so exhausted and my feet are hurting. I walked for 500m and then continued to the finish line and voila, I completed my 1st half-marathon event in 2 hours and 23 minutes (a very satisfying personal record). Thank God for the strength He gave me, only He knows, how 'dead' I am when in was running.
There were also many inspiring runs. There is this guy doing a half-marathon on a wheelchair, there is this guy who looks about >100kg finishing a half-marathon, countless veterans running the full marathon, and of course a friend of mine doing a full but had leg cramp at the 20km mark. He was forced to walk the remaining distance.
Overall, it was an interesting experience. My leg is now 'rejuvenating' with sore and pain. Let's see, maybe I can do a full marathon at the new bridge next year. May God bless me!
