Tired and Contented

Have you ever been so busy that even sleep becomes a luxury and somehow sleep was the last thing on your mind and you just shut down when you couldn't go on anymore? It has been such a hectic 2 weeks that everything is now a blur. I forgot the days of the week and one of the day I forgot my online free Ba Zi class because I was so into editing the lyrics of Colors of the Wind to suit the video competition theme. In just two weeks I have completed a few major task and felt good about it. Sometimes desperate times brings out the talents in us and I am quite pleased with the lyrics I made which I will only disclose once the video have been sent in for the competition. 

Written and viva exams is over and it was a good wake up call for me prior to the exams because I realize my knowledge is so shallow. Somehow when I was worried, 1111 kept appearing and it made me calm and reassured. After the exam I found that it was not as intimidating as I remembered perhaps because the examiners are internal examiners. Anyway from now on I will have a more positive outlook towards exams and I am also going to do all the necessary measures to enjoy exams such as starting early for my final exam preparation. I often think I have PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) from my Primary exams because I had neglected all aspects of my life for at least 350 days just so I can pass my exams in one attempt. I still remember the happiness of really passing it in one attempt but after that noticed I gained 15kgs. I am not sure how can I not notice the weight gain and was in denial back then. I recalled arguing with my parents when they commented on my plump figure and took it in a non constructive manner. 

By the time I was aware of my weight the damages have set in as the stretch marks becomes more evident when I resume to my pre-exam weight. It is as if I have gone through pregnancy. It is such a horrible experience to grow fat and I promised myself I will never ever allow myself to grow fat anymore in this life. In the past 2 weeks due to the rainy weather I have missed a few workouts which make me slightly concerned but I try to be very active at work and hardly sit down and ensure I walk a lot to compensate for the lack of exercise. I am wondering how am I going to face the upcoming monsoon season as the opportunity to jog outdoors will be slim unless I want to jog under the rain. I am still lacking 600KM to finish the 1023km goal within this year. I am beginning to doubt if I can actually achieve it as there's only 3 months left to end the year. I will need to run a consistent 7km daily in order to complete the challenge. 

Speaking of challenge, I impulsively registered myself for the viper challenge. It looks kind of fun and I have never been to such events. I often like to sign up for something out of my regular schedule so that it gives me something different to look forward to. It looks like I need to train my arm muscles more in order to be able to go through the 30 obstacles that are being placed throughout the 15KM distance, in order to attend the event and come back in one piece without any injuries, I think I need to start training my muscles and shop for the appropriate gears like maybe a pair of gloves that people wear for sports (does it have a specific name? I need to find out). I also pray there's no yucky obstacles involving water or mud like the ones I saw on their promotional video as I prefer something more cleaner and less messy. Now it does feel like I will be in for many surprises and I am so looking forward to it.

Singapore

Continuation from yesterday’s post.  I finally ate the ice cream which is sandwiched between two wafers that I saw before and it was yummy because there’s like a huge block of ice cream and the wafer was thin. I chose peppermint chocolate and raspberry swirl. It was really fun to eat that on the helical bridge that totally looks like a DNA strand. I really love this region and it was also the same place where the fun run was held. So I got to go across the helical bridge twice. I am also very happy to finally seen the Merlion and since it was early in the morning during the fun run, the place was rather quiet and there were not many crowds. I wanted to properly run the fun run but I end up walking most of the time just enjoying the scene and talking to people since it was supposed to be a networking event. Delegates from 142 countries were there but I only manage to make friends from Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, Indonesia, Germany and New Zealand. It was quite hard to make more

往前看

 “如果没有方向,往哪里走都是前方” 现在的我好像在浓雾中寻找出路。 我觉得我并没有执着, 我只是觉得有时候好像还在梦境里。我依然想念着一些过去。好好的问自己到底想的是什么。 我可以问心无愧的说我想的并不是爱情,而是友谊。 我一直在折磨自己,觉得自己好像一直在犯错因为心里还是有他。 闺蜜都说我必须斩草除根把他忘得一干二净因为他只是个过客。 可是这并不是我对待一份感情的方式。由于自己的确在爱情世界里出轨了,所以觉得自己是个贱女人。 我觉得我需要把这个想法改掉,给自己个改过自新的机会, 不要再给自己贴上负面标签。仔细的想,我怀念的是一起用Discord玩游戏, 听听他分享他如何对待他的学生(他的分享是很有趣, 当他成功突破一些难搞的学生我会替他感到开心), 突然得到他的一个来电(我是一个喜欢聊天的人,自然会感到很开心有人愿意花时间和我聊天),我难过时他懂得安慰我, 陪我看戏(真的没想过一起上网看戏时间好玩的事)。这一切其实我的丈夫也能为我做, 除了玩游戏和看戏因为我丈夫完全不喜欢玩游戏,也没时间陪我看戏,天天都过着时间不够用的日子。自从他不在我生活里出现了,我觉得就少了一点我每天都能期待的事。这些期待也许是新鲜感,同时也是因为我们有太多相似的想法, 聊起来就好像找到知音。就算不能每天联络 (每天和异性联络对于一个有夫之妇也不对吧就算没有暧昧),只需要知道他还是我的朋友,我们还是能偶尔沟通,我会好受多了。  可是亲爱的,要成长就必须愿意尝一尝一些难受的滋味因为这是成长的代价。我是一个吃不了苦的人, 习惯在温室里成长,一直都依赖着我生命里可靠的家人,爱人,知音来呵护我。我不知不觉也连累了很多人来帮我克服自己心里的障碍。 知音忙了一整天值班然后到了咖啡馆想休息放松心情,却得花半个小时在电话里听我哭个痛快 (这是第一次默默的离开他的时候)。 弟弟也花了很长的时间开导我,因为弟弟比我结婚更久我觉得他能帮我解开心里的结。父母对我感到失望,但还接受我爱着我,没有放弃我。丈夫更不用说了,被伤的人是他可是还必须理智的面对一个被自己的感觉蒙蔽了思考能力的我。 他不是圣人,我觉得迟早他那颗纯洁善良的心也会被我伤透。我当然不要继续下去连累我身边重要的人,更不要他们瞧不起我,这么大的一个人了还不能自己解决一些芝麻绿豆的事。之前觉得他们对我的呵护然我有点窒息的感觉是因为我一直给他们的印象是一个无法

Divorce

“When two people decides to get a divorce, it isn’t a sign that they “don’t understand” one other, but a sign that they have, at least, begun to.” - Helen Rowland People always say marriage is a lot of hard work and it isn’t easy yet many of us still decide to get married. I never knew how heavy the responsibility is to have a ring placed on my ring finger and how much it changes me as a person. I was afraid of getting married because I was afraid of the possibility of having a divorce. I often thought that as long as I do not get married, there will never be a possibility for a divorce. The reason I am afraid of divorce stems from my personal believes that a woman’s capability is measured by how well she can manage her household. Perhaps it is very traditional and old fashioned but I do think that there’s a reason why Mother Nature is called “mother” instead of “father” because women play a better role in nurturing, giving and caring. Women rely more on their emotions and intuition an
