Heee... I finally visited my own blog again! Looks like this is turning into a year blog - where I post my blogs only once a year. **LOL** Anyway, i'm back in Singapore now have been since 8 Dec 2005. It's great to be home, but my other life is in Melbourne... my work, my friends, my own niche.
Being home has its effects - calming, restorative, contemplative. Much has happened in the past year... living on my own in Melbourne, parents' split, Alvin's passing on... and it's yet another growth path that God has projected me upon. It's been great, really. I know I am being anchored deeper with Him even as I learn to walk through the valleys of the shadow of death with my Savior and Friend. I guess that is not the hardest part yet, the toughest lesson is walk it with a deep sense of joy knowing that all will be fine... eventually :-)

Longevity
Today was a public holiday for all of Mlebourne except those working in the university. That's me. I even had to refuse an invitation to yum cha from a friend who didn't know better than to ask, thinking that I was on holiday too. During my lunch break, I turned on the Oprah show. They ran a show on people who have shed hundreds of pounds. One guy even lost 305 pounds! For that sort of effort, I thought he really deserved his prize of a $61,000 Porsche convertible that Winfrey offered.
I guess that was the last straw. The helath-consciousness of the average Melbournian had already prepped me for a regular exercise regime. Guess the Oprah show just firmed up that decision even more. So... for the first time in months (or was it years) i put on my running shoes and went for a brisk walk. Nah, not running YET... my system needs some adjustments... The years of neglect have had their toil.
My legs ached just from walking! I was just so pissed at myself. "They definitely needs training," I can hear my brain telling the legs and the heart off. To think that I had agreed to go Wilson's Prom during the Easter break - my God! - how am i to keep up with the group in this shape? Perhaps I'll have to postpone making that trip. Or step up on exercising in the next 2 weeks.
