The Weekend~

It was largely aching due to the 17km run i had on Friday. The run, was super mental, super shaq, super long. The last time i ran prior to this run was like a week ago, and only 11km. By army standards, there's always "progressive training" and stuff so by right, i am not supposed to run 17km. But, it wouldn't make any sense to run 10km, cos the conducting only planned for 10km and 17km. So i threw every damn army training safety regulations out of the window, and took the "by left" route. It was a painful, excruciating run, but satisfying. Its all abt going the distance, believing in urself that u can do it, then JUST do it. Its been quite a while since i've tested my physical limits, by the fact that im not "chiong sua-ing" anymore. I kinda miss chiong sua days, chionging with my fellow section and pl mates, fighting the fight together, going through shit together, surviving it together.

Met RJBT on Sat night. Roy, Jasmine, Jeannie, Terence Tan & Wu, Weipin, Mr Wong, and myself turned up. Had fun catching up with Jeannie and the Wu Ge ge, not having the opportunity to meet them for quite a while. One in CHeena, one too busy with gf( but at least took this time to meet up, unlike someone else..).

Sunday, still had remnants of the muscle ache from the Friday run. Really appreciated the Pastor's sermon on the Parable of the good samaritan. Key takeaway: Having compassion for another fellow person, driven by the person's need, not his worth. And putting compassion into an act, as action speaks louder than words, and that is kindness. Kindness is the act of compassion. Don't worry, slowly digest if u r trying to catch wat i said. Anyway, didn't really do much after church. Just went to IKEA to do some shopping, then home to DIY the IKEA stuff, then tried to get some beat going on the drums, then played some songs on my guitar, then watching stealth, and now blogging. It would be an interesting week ahead, with more Army Half Marathon training to go, and SSC badminton tournament ongoing, plus work committement. Anyway, just hope that the week ahead would be a smashing one!

'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.
