Every step i take, feels like i’m playing with fire.
Every ride I take, every joke i crack, every action that follows. I always remind myself to stop playing with fire. But it goes one cycle all over again.
I’ve been brooding over a few issues.
Things that you can’t find a reason or justification for. You start to question, why. What’s wrong with him? Or rather, why is he acting this way? Shouldn’t the friendship between them go further than all these? There’s not much time left. And we only live our lives once. We should always work towards zero tolerance for regrets.
And if you know the ugly side of how things turned out last time, why do you still jump in? Time and time again, I keep asking myself that. A part of me is really hopeful that things would turn out differently this time. That everyone deserves a second chance. One negative association shouldn’t condemn you forever. But its easier said than done. Deep down, there’s always this tiny fear that it will be your turn to be axed soon. When should you give it your all?
Longest streak for the number of days I’m unwell, it’s still counting. I have been spamming fish soups and herbal soups these two months, cut down to almost zero smoke breaks and also my daily Starbucks dozes. And I’ve been exercising regularly to build up my immune system and physical fitness as well, maybe missing 1 or 2 sessions of Trek Runs or Sunday Rides. But I have to admit, I haven’t been faithfully avoiding all the unhealthy stuffs, especially sinning in alcohol and killing my throat once in a while with ice-cream and korean bbq with friends. Ayeaye. Get well soon, I must.
First load training session at Bukit Timah Hill last Saturday. That and cycling with cleats are totally working out different sets of muscles. My legs are officially aching. Sadist, but pain is the new pleasure. I remember hearing this phrase somewhere,
Pain is weakness leaving the body.
These are signs that you’re making every effort to improve and challenge yourself. Move forward to the next tier. Well, and with every small effort I will get fitter!
On a lighter note, I’ve decided. I’m not going to sell my bike for now. Train up more with cleats. I can’t bear to get so many scratches on my new bike. =)
Where it’s no longer just the Asoc Beauty & Beast group, it’s more than just the Agape group. (:
(Overused, i know.)
Some background to this photograph, it was taken during Asoc Camp 2009. Some of us were Facis, some were Org Com, and some were helpers! All of us were involved in one way or another, lolol. It sure bring back memories when we were participants. And this photograph was submitted to the Asoc Gala Dinner 2012.
But yeah, from strangers in the same OG group, to going for an OCSP together, and now going for a grad trip together. :))
OCBC Cycle Singapore 2012
It’s nice to see such a huge contingent of SMU undergraduates coming down for the race last Sunday. All the way from the 四代 of Biking Team EXCOs to the always supportive Skating Team. Even old friends that you start cycling with like Calvin Leong and Ying Da. :)
A very meaningful event, where theres one thing that we all hold dear to: our passion for cycling still lives on.
too much apples, chocolates, tofu, salmon and marshmellows on the plate; welcome to two years ago.
With commitments, choices, family, friends, studies, work,
It now sums down to one word: priorities.
I don’t know about you, but I definitely needed to remind myself of this today.
