1st Half Marathon Completed!!
I’ve MADE IT!! I’ve completed my 1st half marathon!! Though slow (2h43min), I’m happy that I was able to complete the full 21K without stopping (I did stop briefly once to tie my shoelace). Although the weather didn’t cooperate (it rained throughout most of the run), it was a wonderful experience to run with so […]

Running
Attempting to restart my regular running practice again. Recovering from a cold/flu, a little out of shape, but can’t afford to miss anymore running practices! Ran 7K.

New Bible
Finally finished reading this bible (NLT), it took a lot longer than I planned (~1.5years)… Trying out e-ink for my new bible… Really hope to start things new… Since recovering from sickness at the beginning of the year, I became somewhat weary of diligence, and life seemed sluggish as a result. It was almost as […]

Soccer
The black rain had come and gone quickly in the late morning, it was a blessing that I could play soccer in the evening without the slightest hint of rain. The last time I played the sport was back in September, if not earlier. It felt good to be back on the field playing with […]

First Run
Did my first run this year, covered about 5 km in 40 minutes. Broke some sweat in the sunny (but not too hot) afternoon, it’s my stupid attempt to respond to the Sunday sermon of being the salt and light of this world! =) This is actually my first run since I recovered from the […]

Sickness
Mother got sick and couldn’t join my father for the planned short trip to Mainland this weekend. She felt better after my dad took him to see the doctor on Thursday, but she told me she caught a flu/cold this morning when I was just about to leave home to work. I was thinking about […]

CNY Holiday
The CNY has come and gone, I’m thankful for the opportunity to meetup with many friends, the gatherings were so packed that it was almost as though I was making up for the solitary time during my month-long sickness in Dec. & Jan. I was a bit reluctant to let the holiday pass, so I […]

Creative Monday
Before engaging full-time work after my recovery, I gave myself one last day-off to do some spontaneous creative works. I upcycled all the medical pill bottles from my illness and turned them into incubators for new life (baby succulents). I codenamed this quick spontaneous project “REBIRTH”. As the saying goes – “What doesn’t kill you […]

I’m Recovered!!
Checked in with the doctor for the last time today, he said I’m totally recovered and no further medication is needed! Thank God. Although costly, my sudden illness seems to me more like a blessing than a curse. Since the inevitable illness started in early Dec., I was given the opportunity to spend more time […]

Fellowship
Thankful to be able to join fellowship again after more than a month of absence. Saw many welcoming smiles from b/s, and many of them said I looked a little thinner now… We had this exercise to find someone we didn’t know too well and stare at him/her silently for one full minute, I took […]
