man... don't know why the lactic acid accumulated in my legs from the run the other day started to "activate" themselves today. climbing down the stairs is a challenge now... haven't had this feeling for the longest time...
oh, my aching legs....
got in touch with C today. woohoo! happy she's back. and happy that we'll be going for the encounter weekend. =) so looking forward to it!!

hahaha... that's the number of times i actually exercised since last year. amazing isn't it? =P think the first time i "documented" my exercise was in my 1st nov 2004 entry, where i scaled our very own bukit timah hill. then there was the recent may 2005 entry where i climbed lambak hill with some friends. there was this other one somewhere in time where i went again to bukit timah hill... and that's about it... so, there you have it exercised 3 times since last year =P
anyways, went to exercise again... decided to exercise regularly so that i'll be able to participate in the standard chatered 10km run at the end of the year. went jogging with kenneth along east coast park yesterday. we jogged from macs to the hawker centre, had our dinner, and then walked back.
it was a good run... think the distance was about 2.4km. though i was nearly dead by the end of it... hahaha... ok la... not that bad... had a very bad headache after the run. coz i guess i was dehydrated. felt alright after drinking some water.
and and... realised i have this tendancy of starting out really fast at the beginning... must learn to slow down if not i'll burn out towards the end. was good that i wasn't running alone. having a pacer beside kept me moving and removed the temptation of stopping to rest.
we had duck rice for dinner.... gosh... it was sooooooo expensive!!! couldn't believe how much we paid for it. he had one bowl of kuay teow soup and i had one bowl of porridge and there was a plate of duck meat... guess how much that cost? $10!!! *faints* remind me not to seperate the duck meat and my porridge/rice/noodles next time. good thing we brought enough money... if not really must end up washing dishes for them already. =P
all in all, really thank God for yesterday. it was really cloudy but it didn't rain. yay! prayer answered. looks like many of us are in this kinds of situations where we pray that God will help us hold the rain =) praise God indeed that all these small requests are not insignificant in His eyes and was once again reminded of His love. thank God too for health. for the first time yesterday, actually felt bad that i've been lying "dormant" for so long. not exercising and all. to think that i was so proud of myself when i told my friends that i don't exercise. bah... yes! will try to take care of my health... yep... thank God thank God... =)
hoping to get in touch with a few people when they come back to singapore for their holidays. sometimes feel afraid that they might not respond or that they find me very bothersome. haaa... =) this just shows the certain insecurities that are residing in me. should trust God for the journey that He has with them and that they'll have the desire to come and fellowship with fellow christians. =) was reminded of something while chatting with a friend recently -- that in loving the people you're reaching out to, it also involves giving them choice.
choice... big word....
hmmm... thank God for this growth process in learning to trust Him.... =) learning that He really loves me unconditionally... learning that He will never leave me and that in whatever that He has called me to do, He'll supply whatever that's needed... and in abundance
thank God too for no aching muscles this morning when i woke up... hehe! =D
