Back From Hiatus

It had been so long since I last updated this blog. I hate mentioning this and I am sure you are bored of reading this ever-so-familiar sentence as a starter for most of my entries. I am sick of it too but I just can't help it. Life had not been super busy. This past few months drifted by as though I was in a dream. I feel as though I am living each day without fully participating in it. Yeah, it's complicated but I am not emo....will be able to figure this out soon.

On a happier note, I suprised myself by participating in the Penang Bridge Marathon and shocked the people around me by completing the marathon in a short time, hence qualified for a medal. Yay! Finally something to be proud of. Has not been achieving much since I left high school, sort of miss my glorious days back then (I sound as though I am an old lady reminiscing her younger days).

The marathon was divided into several categories but generally there was the full-marathon, half-marathon and quarter-marathon. I only decided to join about two months before the race and being a first-timer, I opted for the quarter-marathon. The race started at 6am but I was already up at 3am. I went with my brother and a couple of expatriate friends. With their company, the morning was much more fun. We ran in the rain, which was not a bad thing since Malaysia is a humid country.

Time flies while we were running and enjoying the morning breeze. Soon after the race, we begin to feel muscle sores but we enjoyed the pain. We felt a sense of achievement and at that point, we made a date with each other to participate in the half-marathon next year.







On a totally unrelated note, for the first time in my entire life, I saw a person faint right in front of my eyes. It was a casual weekend outing with my two buddies. We had sushi for lunch and then we headed for the cinema. It was a really cold evening and by the time the movie ended, we were starving. We decided to have dinner at a double storey food outlet. Since the second floor was very crowded, we decided to head downstairs for a more strategic table. One of my friend missed a step and fell. She bruised her knees but luckily she did not sprain her legs. It was equally crowded downstairs, so we waited. Suddenly, the friend who fell turned to me and said, "Quick, talk to me. I am about to faint." I was taken aback by her remarks and was speechless at that moment. Suddenly, her face turned pale and she fainted. She nearly knocked her head on the sharp ends and I felt helpless. I was too freaked out to re-act because I did not actually thought she would really faint. Luckily she recovered really soon and by then, our table was ready. What a way to end our day.
