I know why i continue to run..

Was in the mood to run, it felt so comfortable.. the sweat coming out of the pores, the heart pumping.. I felt alive...

Yew Meng told me my previous previous entry sounded harsh.. Its just frustration at myself mostly and the situation, its not directed to anyone in particular.. Sometimes, blogging it out allows me to feel better..But on the other hand, I also faced the struggle of whether to blog how I really feel.. Because I never know who is reading my blog since not alot of people leave comments..

I know why I continue to run even after I stopped playing netball.. because running is also a form of meditation.. For the 1st time, I caught myself watching my breath, forming a pattern hence helping me to concentrate better on running.. I have more determination to run as compared to the past..

No wonder after I finished running, there is a kind of peace within me.. It felt really good, putting aside all my troubles, my doubts and my questions...I can block out the world around me jus concentrating on the path in front of me, enjoying the present moment..

Sometimes, we stayed in the past and think about the future that we missed the present moment.. This is something that I keep reminding myself, to treasure the present moment.. This will ensure that everything is done to the best..

~Treasure the present moment for its ever precious..

Intra- role conflict

Last semester, HR lessons covered various form of conflict, intra-role conflict, inter-role conflict,group conflict etc... I finally understood what exactly is intra-role conflict...

Sometimes, I am confused over my role..Who am i exactly? What is my role?

Somehow, all the various roles should form my personality. But the boundaries between all these roles are blurred, how do I reconcile them?

Its not exactly bad to be associated with something but there is a feeling that I am unable to express it..

In fact, I am not even sure how to put into words.. Perhaps its quarter-life crisis for me..

Who are the friends around me? Are they who they really are? Or is it just a mask?
I do not seem to know them anymore.. The old memories will be replaced by new memories..

Its all confusion... I just do not know how to organise it into one nice flowing piece...
The puzzle will be pieced together somehow...

Give me space to breath..

Its really tiring to go through the same topic without any discussion.. It is even tiring when I have already stated my stand clearly and still gave to go through it again and again...

Give me my space to breath..

The Taiwan suggestion was not brought up by me.. When it was suggested, I merely maintained silence until I realised everyone seems interested in it.

To me, so long its a place that is yet to be travelled by me, I can alway be keen in it. Moreover Taiwan is the place to a number of temples.

Similarly, this keenness can be easily lost. The idea accepted by majority is not the ideal one I want. Besides, Taiwan is a place that I want to understand its culture rather than just go and walk and shop and end it..

I have already stated that I will see how.. so please stop trying to push me to the ideas proposed. Its simply suffocating. Give me my space to breath.

Even if ultimately my decision is not to go, I will remain a happier person than one that has been forced by peer pressure to go. I am never one to submit to peer pressure.

Give me space to breath...

An encounter with a visually handicapped couple..

Well, finally had the inspiration to blog after a long period.. This incident left such a deep impression in my heart that I really felt like sharing it..

The encounter with the visually handicapped couple took place at the escalator at the overhead bridge. I approached them to ask if they need help in directions because both of them were using the canes to move around. It was really the 'blind leading the blind'.

To my amazement, the lady rejected me saying they could manage. I observed them quietly from behind for awhile to assure their safety. I really admired them, they could talk and yet still navigated their way through the crowd..

How many times have people really stopped and care for the disabled in Singapore? Let's just zoom in onto the visually- handicapped population.

Often, they are either discriminated or ignored especially when boarding the train or the bus. It is heartening to see youths approaching them to offer their help. What they really want and need is just a normal way of life with the public treating them as normal..

In fact, the word that we use can contain meanings of discrimination e.g the blind person.. This is a pretty common word used but to me, I refrain from using this word. Because everytime, we will use this word to scold others"are you blind?"I feel visually handicapped may be a better choice of word.. well this is my opinion afterall..

The next time if a visually handicapped person appears near you, do offer your help to them.. Its a joy to help others.. By helping them, you are actually helping yourself to grow as well...
