It's 3 in the afternoon now, almost an exact 12hours from my previous post. The jog was fine, except that the weather didn't help a bit. So here's a little update of my little jog at 335 this morning.
As was mentioned in the previous post, I left house after dallying for half an hour. The feeling was good. Now I miss secondary 3 life when I did the same thing, but with a much lighter heart. Yes, that's the word- lighter heart. Where so much less happened and when I was still the high-flyer. Maybe I still am, but definitely not in the area where I used to excel in. People mature as they grow, strengthen as they age. Mine was somewhat the direct contradict. Time wears me out. *Sidetrack*
*Back-track*
So as I left my apartment, my mind begun to plot the route I wanted to run. Fact is should already have in mind where I wanted to run since the idea was developed 2 or 3 hours before. But as I ran down the road, I decided to take the hassle to really replot. Just like how life should be- live the present, leave worries of tomorrow take care of itself. I really hate material goals- wealth, career. Nah, I will probably become a poor nobody who just wants to enjoy life, and enjoy satisfaction. No material goal, no nothing. My ambition- to be able to donate 10% of my monthly income in years, months or even days to come. (The tricky part would be the determination and resisting temptation. But I really hope I would be able to do it). This month I spent 16dollars on buying a shirt which supports the conservation exercise to save polar bears, and promoted many more sales. So I really hope this would continue. It's a matter of want versus can.

So after much pondering, I decided to go to a nearby park to jog rounds, instead of a long route. For the past few months, the fact that the place is very much under construction had been a withdrawing factor to jog there. So today I tried my luck, and the condon was removed=) So I started jogging- 5 rounds in total, before I stranded off to jog by the road, and stopped soon after. It's really long since I last exercise, that my shin didn't feel like mine after that (the kind of sensation which threadmails give us). But it's good that I'm getting started. And I'm beginning to wonder if it was because that I hadn't exercise for quite a long period of time or was it because of my diet that I kind of feel that the asthma's really coming back. Hm.. Let's hope it's the former. I will exercise more from today onwards. That would be the start and many more will follow=).
So after that, I started walking back. Didn't think of retiring that soon, it's barely 20 minutes of exercise, but that was when the red sky started blowing. The breeze, maybe too strong to be called a breeze, but anyhow, the breeze was kind of cooling- nice! So I headed back home with the wind brushing against my face, and the drizzle began to fall too. Close my eyes, and let the raindrop drip on me, washing away all troubles and dilemma. It's very comforting!
Before long I was already at my doorstep, and the rain had already started to pour by then. Just in time. Then, I realise I didn't bring my keys. I didn't expect me to come back so quickly, and normally my parents would have woken up by the time I reach home if I had followed the planned schedule. Thus, being the good and understanding and considerate boy that I always am (=P), I decided not to knock the door. So I did some stretching exercises to loosen those really tensed up muscles, which soon escalated into some vertical marathon kind of activity- climb stairs. I climbed 30 storeys in total. Kind of nothing compared to the one I had in OAC- 73 storeys with sand bags, but for a start I thought it was reasonable bah. At 5 in the morning, my dad finally woke up, and I was let into the house=)
End of story.
