down eventful memoribilia lane

call me crazy!
call me nuts!
but i jus did a whooping exactly 2hr jog!!!!
effectively, e dist i jogged could stretch from bukit panjang to clementi n back!
i muz hav been having a loose screw up there.

started at 1215am,
i ran thru my usual 'long' route,
running along e upper outskirts of bukit panjang, from senja link to zhenghua sec,
down e lrt tracks to segar.
passed by my sis' sch at Beacon Pri n headed down towards bangkit n petir.
and this time,
NO!

i skipped tat horrific park beside e expressway n instead followed e path down towards petir lrt.
at tat very cross junction,
i saw this yellow mini hunchback and a guy at e side of e road.
seems like he was wounded.
ok not 'seems', coz evidently theres a wound on e left side of his cheek- roughly 2 20cent coins put together side by side.
too lazy to stop n ask since e driver(P-plater) n his fren were already there tending to him.

so instead of jogging thru e park, i went ard it n along it.
YES, its still e scary foggy deserted path.
n the weird thing was,
i came across this handmade wooden signboard which stated:

WANTED
HARDCORE
Chestnut Ave L.P. 48

wonder wat tat meant.
as i peered into e Chestnut Ave from afar, all i could see was pitch black in e middle and no one in sight.
seems like one of those uninhabitated construction roads.

but oh wells, enough of that.
PIE was to my left, so i veered right towards Dairy Farm road.
scary scary path.
n there i found another signboard hammered into e grass.
n nope, didnt find any Old huts as stated by SPI down scary path covered by trees.

from there, i reached e main road n turned left towards Trinity Theological College n Salvation Army.
headed down further toward Rail Mall where i found nice supper hangouts!
n ohh, Coffeebean there is 24hrs. PROVEN.
Ran past the old bukit timah fire station and Bukit Batok Nature Park.
n i found a kiwi on e floor. lol

ran past bukit timah nature reserve.
and towards King Albert's park Mac.
tempting, but not yet.

crossed e junction towards beauty world plaza n jogged past Pei Hwa Pri n towards....
AL ALMEEN N AL AZHAR!!!
TEMPTING!!!!
den from there i zoomed past Courts and e 3 competitive Petrol Stations side by side.
n back to e foot of Bukit Batok Nature Park.
n here comes e even more scary part.
i noe my left eye has been twitching for an hr or so,
n my head is feeling light.
but somehow as i trod on e walkway,
with only glimpses of light peeking thru e trees,
my right hand suddenly gave an extreme twitch!
like it's some spasmic reaction tat resulted in my wrist turning outwards 45degrees!
disregarding tat incident, i ran back all e way to Rail Mall n past AES where a bunch of angmohs (i think) on the other side of the road were waving to me!
when i meant a bunch, i meant like at least 10 of them!
haha, so fun!
den as i passed by e shophouses after Shell,
i ran past this BJ Karaoke Lounge with 3 social escorts sitting ard a table nearby.
den a guy emerged from e shady bar n was immediately approached by one of them.
didnt bother to look further.

n alas,
home was in sight.
phew.
reached back at 2.15am.
undoubtedly e 2nd longest run in my entire life!
longest ever waS e 21km Army Half Marathon which took me 2hrs n ard 16mins.
so judging from my timing, i'd say i ran ard..
18 or 19km?
n tat'll b like runnin past Ngee Ann poly or SIM.
i think jus 15mins more n i'll reach NUS!
hahaha.

perhaps i jus wanted to prove to my own self tat i could endure.
n i did!
but den again,
wat's this compared to my own race.
my race of a lifetime?
wats this measly 2hr compared to tat?
can i even run it with patience?
God willing.

The War of the Brains

The two brains not only see the world in vastly different ways but, in our current society, the left side just "doesn't get" what the right side is all about. It tends to dismiss anything significant coming into consciousness from its "flaky" cranial twin. Sometimes two sides can actually disagree, resulting in our perception of emotional turmoil from the expressive protests of right brain.

Our conscious mind can only focus on data from one brain at a time. We can switch from one side to the other very quickly (with our corpus collosum intact) but that's not always the most efficient way to act and eventually ultimate authority to enter consciousness is delegated to one brain or the other. In our modern world, this battle is almost always won by the left brain.

It appears that most people will never reach their maximum potential because of compromises that have been made between these two governing bodies. Sometimes skills which the right brain can perform better are routinely handled, with less skill, by the left brain. Ideally, both brains work together in people with optimum mental ability. This coordinating ability may be the key to superior intellectual abilities. In most people, however, the left brain takes control, choosing logic, reasoning and details over imagination, holistic thinking and artistic talent.

Methods have been devised to "shut off" the left brain, allowing the right side to have its say. Creative writing courses often use this method to combat "writer's block." The right brain is then able to "sneak" into our consciousness, filling our minds with emotional and visual vignettes and freely associated images. All too quickly, though, the left brain will assert itself and dispense with these irrational images, asserting its Spock-like logical dominance and the right brain will have to be content to find expression in dreams.

Flow

One sms my dad received from an anonymous person:

"Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own,
and let it grow, be like water.
Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water.
Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup;
You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle;
You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot.
Water can flow or it can crash.
Be water, my friend."

weird person this is.

runnin'

am i running towards or running away?
wats my race?
can i faithfully run it?
urgh i still remem last yr, this very notion kept me going on too.
to run this race with all due diligence and patience.
but look at me now,
wat am i doing?
where am i going?
which direction?
wat race am i running again.

urgh, to press on is truly difficult.

"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him
endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."
Hebrews 12:1-2



psalms 143 eh?
yeah, sure i'll read it. =]
