Just one of the perfect weekend











Saturday was amazingly memorable. 
3 hours of cycling till i had some good butt muscles, endless camwhoring,beautiful photos and mostly the fact that i'm hanging with pei shan,bernyce and the guys.
It's lovely how we can share our lives with each other even though all of us are in so different environments and i really really miss my poly days...
The days when i can sleep in class(half-guilty), skipping classes for the lamest movie just to pass time, stroll into lecture class 1 hour late and nearly getting into bitch fights with my classmate haha
We'll never walk into class without waiting for one another at the platform,leaving the school together trying to get on the jam-packed train and sharing food during breaks.......................
I'm utterly upset yet pleased that at least..at least i met them ;)







I love marathons.
Thousands of people of different size,age,sex,gender and race gather together for a trail that might be their first, their last and it might be even the trail to the next marathon they would be signing up for.

Nike run was definitely one of the toughest marathon i experienced. Started of later than usual,sun was burning and the crowd was humongous. There were slopes and bumps, lots of body odour and too much people blocking the way for my first 3k. I had to run on grass patches, squeeze through many pairs and avoid some groups who were running and browsing at youtube on the way.

There were also couples who encouraged each other on the way(which may me felt guilty leaving my buddy behind hahahaha), brothers who cheered each other on and some extremely obese friends who put in their effort to participate despite how tough it might be on them.
Not to mention that my competitive partner and a very easy-going one complimented the morning. Joining the race was an entirely random decision and even though we ain't the closest of friends, he was willing to try it out with me. The run was tough but he never gave up, he wasn't athletic but he tried training before the race and the fact that he didn't stop catching up with me until the very last minute was admirable.
Can't help but to give this dude credits ;)

Well,having the opportunity to witness such beautiful moments on my journey definitely makes the run so worthwhile and  i can never understand why people would feel that marathons are a waste of money.
I find it an opportunity for me to push myself to my limits and the empowerment after you complete your race is thought-provoking.


Some people join for the prize, some people join for the sake of their friends, some people join for the freebies, some people join for the joy of making new friends, some people join for the love of running, and some people join to challenge themselves.
Where do you belong to?

I can't decide.
