woke up at 5.20am today! woohoo! finally got down to running in school before classes! reached school at around 6.50 and saw pq. quite sad cos she broke her arm and cant run. did 8 rounds with leefund. am feeling so accomplished! -beams- but was quite demoralised la when i saw this robot running since i came to sch. according to pq he was in sch since 6.30 le? and he kept running until like 7.45?! leefund asked him how many rounds he did. guess what?! 30!?!? gosh. i was contemplating jumping off PSA building. apparently he runs everyday? human or robot? i rest my case....
rest of the day was very very good.. teehee! had a great talk with bb yoong after chaplain's hour. his message during chap's hour was great! something that jared had shared with me already. but mr yoong did mention that we do hear alot of the same message, but it's what we're going to do about it. the message was about the greatest commandments and as most know, Jesus gave the answer himself. that is to love your God will all your heart and all your mind and all your soul. then it's to love your neighbour as yourself. hmm. hard i know. but im sure God will help me along the way!
funny how everything seems great cos of the run in the morning. felt really accomplished i guess. that kind of energy somehow kinda carried over thru the day and i was unusually hyper. okay i may not garner ALOT of attention like a particular mr tan. but given my usual standards it's an improvement aye?
training tomorrow. 30+ ppl training together? sian. hope mr khoo axe some ppl soon. HAHAHA! maybe my head will fall?
