I'M STAYING IN!

It’s already March. And it’s my holidays today... Stayed at home the whole day today... Will be going out for a run in a few minutes’ time after I finish my apple cut by Dad. For those friends out there who have been looking into my blog and went away disappointed over the past few weeks, I apologise sincerely. Been very lazy to write and not only online, but my personal diary as well. Much has gone on and friends have been updated via word of mouth.

The verdict was out last Friday. Im not going anywhere this March hols! Thou I have 3 whole weeks of hols! Argh… I was supposed to go somewhere faraway which had been planned since the beginner of this year. Disappointingly, it’s postponed and im not sure if I will be going to that place in May for I wanna go elsewhere for my grad trip.

This is my 2nd week of hols already and it was only on the 24th Feb when I received news from my friend that the trip’s postponed. It was the last 2nd day of school. I was in a panic as I did not know where to go and did not want to waste 3 weeks in Singapore. I had to choose a destination FAST.

On that night(Thurs), I decided on going to Beijing. But the next day, on Friday, as I swam and ran in school as training for my upcoming biathlon, I changed my mind. As I swam, I was hesitating about my choice of country as it’s still winter in Beijing and I’m worried my body would not be able to adjust back to the hot and humid equatorial Singapore when I’m back. As I exited the pool to change into my run gear and went for a run right after the swim, which was by the way my very 1st attempt at an actual biathlon ‘simulation exercise’, I knew I needed more training and decided to change my destination. It was tough getting my legs used to running straight after getting out of the pool and they felt like jelly for u have not utilized them much while swimming! And this event is something I really badly want to do well. I have never felt so much like doing something so passionately lately other than traveling. And thus, I’m willing to go on a shorter holiday for this.

Decided on Sarawak. Waited for a friend to decide. But by the time she gave me her answer, the cheap air tics departing from JB Senai Airport were all sold out and prices tripled! So I did not make the trip myself either. Some friends have chided me for not booking the tics earlier.

Well! Finally decided on going to Taman Negara for a short 5D4N trip. It was initially a 2-week trip, shortened to 10 days, then 1 week, and finally 5D4N. But my computer screwed up last week and I had difficulties accessing info on the train tics and other info online. ARGH. When I had to go into JB to buy my train tics last Fri, 4th March, I decided not to go in the end! For I realized I had wasted one entire week and have done nothing.

Somehow, I like to console myself by saying that things happen for a reason. Im not that disappointed in not being able to go anywhere actually because my heart was set on my planned trip all the while. And the rules of the Alchemist seems to rule here... When u want something with all your heart, the whole universe will conspire to make it come true... Perhaps my heart is set more on training well for my 1st biathlon than going anywhere... Perhaps that’s what is planned for me all along...

I’m going running! Till the next blog...
