every punch i take and every bone i break

well it's been a pretty lazy holiday so far...
haven't started studying seriously yet.. did some econs.. a bit of maths... mostly i did alot of planning but very little execution haha..
i shall start when term reopens.. hopefully...
well after the adventure travel journey, i've stayed home on wednesday, thur and friday. except friday when there was DBS. oh and to visit my grandpa in hospital. he has some kidney problem so please pray for him!
today i went to run in the morning. 13km. crap man dunno why everytime i run then my legs can just keep going and they dont get tired, but my stomach area and lungs down there feel like wanna explode like that. like got some crazy stitch. but it's not a stitch. i think it's some muscle or organ problem. o.O. if dont have this problem i can run with no problem cos my legs are like dynamo. haha.
then i came home and had a long bath cos was super tired. then i read a christian book and my Bible reading instead of studying haha... then went to see how they were doing at band prac. turns out they were pretty okay. then now i'm backing up for yiying tmr-.- haha... cos she need a guy backup singer.. k then jammed a while and went for lunch.
after lunch then my mission trip group (me, sharilyn, amanda leong, and becky) plus david went to laselle to do our breakfast banners. cos tmr my team selling breakfast. david came cos he got nothing else to do if he go home. anws we both feel super weird if we stay home on a saturday haha.
k anws we couldnt really get started cos we kept talking. i dont think its really my fault cos everyone else also talking haha. and david u are a distraction and caused me to talk to u so david how can u say it's me on ur blog!? haha!
then the girls needed us to buy some stuff for them. so me and david walk to sheng shiong to buy. like the plates and bowls for tmr's breakfast. then we also helped them buy some potato chips cos they wanted to eat.
when we came back they did quite a bit of work already so after a while they got everything done. then we started talking quite alot haha! good bonding time. haha although david was an extra i think his company is still appreciated lol!
anws today in the morning when i was running this boy suddenly started running with me haha. so i jogged a bit faster but then he also ran faster to keep up with me. so i slowed down to give him chance. then asked him "training ah?" then he said ya. so i started talking with him a bit while we were running. turns out he was training for his 1.6km cos he's pri 6. haha.
at that time when he started running with me was after i already ran like 11plus km. so left about 5 rounds of the track. then i was already like dying cos of my stomach problem. but cos he was running with me it caused me not to think of my pain. also cos he was there then i didnt really wanna lose face so i could run like at quite a good pace. lol.
he asked me why i was training so i told him cos of football team. he used to play fullback for st.gabriels soccer team but now stop cos of cca stand down. so we were saying like "ya football team must train running cos whole game must run right hahaha.." then he ask me how long i running so i told him 13km then he got stunned. haha. totally trash his 1.6km.
he's quite cute man. he wore the kind of specs that i wore in pri sch. that flimsy kind that can break if a ball smashes it. then he also really skinny. football team somemore. and he's a nice friendly guy. haha. reminded me of me. i actually saw myself in him today.
caused me to think on the way home and when i was resting in the kitchen drinking my 100plus. he's probably got some big dreams that most boys have. having been in a soccer team maybe his dreams are the soccer kind. yeah well he's gonna grow up and in 5 years time he's gonna be my age. he'll realise most of his dreams like playing for liverpool or singapore were nonsense. his mindset changes. some things stay the same and some things change. he's gonna make new friends. he's gonna lose friends. there's heartbreak. he might sing some emo songs to himself on his ipod. everything that seemed fine and dandy in pri sch is gone and you realise there's a whole different ball game. he decides hmm i'll make some new aims or new dreams. not necessarily related to football. and works towards those.
sometimes u actually realise some of your dreams. in my case one example would be to be playing for my college soccer team right now. most important is you don't give up. and u always trust God.
there's always something out there. that you work towards.
and if you're the underdog, which is usually the case, you work to prove them wrong. even your friends take one look at you and think, he's not good enough. faults here faults there. he's like this. etc. the first look is what they see. they dont look longer. dont look deeper. but you know yourself inside, you know what you're made of. ok who can blame them, most times you dont show it. but you know it's there. you know you're better.
well buddy i hope you know God. if not now, then someday. and trust Him. and NOT anyone else.
i didnt get your name and you didnt get mine. but i hope we meet again some day. hopefully one saturday morning when we go to serangoon stadium to train again.
heh and when you found out who you talked to this morning, we'll try to find a pen and paper so you can get my autograph eh?;) haha ok that was just another ego crappy joke.
take care little tyke.
these little dudes are one of the reasons why i fight.
