Numb

Run. I forced me tired legs to inch forward for the umpteenth time.
6km. 31min 20seconds. 427 calories.
Numbers do not means much when you struggle through to finish the run. I was quite focused on achieving the target 8 km but now, numbness. Each step seems a little further from the end. Why not closer? Because i could stop anytime soon to walk home and be a little later home.

I did not give up and finished my run. I thought about how similar work is to running. You work and work, you start feeling fatigue but still you continue. The only relief you probably feel is when you gave up. All your senses get heighten and you start to feel right about things once again.

Chance

It is with great regret as i type out this post. I came to know about the passing of a friend. A friend, albeit a distant friend but nonetheless who had at some time of our lives shared common ideals and dreams. One of whom, the passing of, would seem so unlikely, especially at the prime of his life, it was almost unbelievable. I stared in space upon the realisation of it.
Such is the fragility of life and the impermanence of things, that of which, is cruel, but true and none of either you or me can pry through their evil clutches. As i lament upon his passing, i reflected upon my miserable life and strangely found it worthwhile. For i still had what he would have wanted but could no longer ask for more. Chance. That one f***king last chance that god took it away without batting his f***king eyelid.

Housework

It never fail to amuse me when missus does the housework... It seems that doing the housework allows her to have the authority to get back at me. Every little movement that i made in the house seems to incur her wrath. I sometimes wonder if she feels bad at her outburst. It is always in incremental and minute movements that i manage around the house when she is at work; to cause her less distress and concern to see me relaxing. However, that does not mean i don't help out around the house often. In fact, i do! Just that today, after my soccer game, i have got to go work to ensure safe and expeditious flow of traffic in Changi airport. So i bath and rested to be ready for work in an hour's time. Missus became a little agitated by the fact that me bathing without asking her or stepping into the EXTREMELY clean room without her permission has broken her authority. Timid as i am, i ask permission to lie on the bed with the laptop and type this passage.

"I m a christian, I don't lie"

Today i had a soccer game and what one of my buddy said greatly affected me.
"I am a Christian, I don't lie." Rather simple yet powerful words spinning along many implications and many meanings behind it.
I was rather angry at what he said over a seeming trivial matter like whether the ball hit the crossbar or the other metals parts of the goal post that would have rendered the ball to be out of bounds. So i said in a jest, "Nope, it's the crossbar." He insisted that the ball was out of bounds, of which i denied again. Then out came the famous words. "I am a Christian, I don't lie."
By saying that, do u mean that i lied, for the sake of a simple leisurely Sunday game of soccer?
I have got nothing against him or his faith but i felt that by saying what he did he has put me in a lower pedestal of moral values. That i lied so that i can have a simple ball thrown in from the corner of the court. I felt that he has put me down and insulted me and he has because of this incident a high moral authority over me because "I am a Christian, I dun lie!". That because i am not one, i would not be fit to be view in the same manner and be judged by others in the same fashion as he would have to be because he is always up there, regardless; he is a christian, he does not lie.
We all do have prejudices against people. Whether it is in the form of religion, colour of the skin, foreign talents but we have to be a little more aware that anything that makes you feel that you are up there higher in the moral values and standing than other people makes you carry a very heavy burden. A burden so big that it is so hard to "I dun lie!" at all. You dun lie? At all?
That is a very heavy burden to undertake and if that is your wish i fully respect that but i hope you would see things in a lighter light and do lie once in a while, maybe to get you out of trouble and get you the extra day off you need by going to see the doctor.
This incident affected me quite a little that i had to log it down in my almost untouched blog for me to keep a account and as a guidance to myself that, "I am not a Christian, i did not lie in that instance too." You and me both know no answers but judging by the reactions of the people around the ball, no one remarked that it hit other metals poles. I may have lied many instances in my life to get MCs for the extra day off, to tell people they are not fat, their house in really very nice, the bride is very beautiful, many many others more. I am a liar BUT i dun think you are in any way a much better person or worse person than me in anyway. I thought we were always equal till i heard, "I am a Christian, I don't lie"
