The Head Over Heels Challenge



Today i ran my 1st 8 klik. Drank Redbull in the morning for an energy booster. Love the egg sandwich!

Taking part in the Head Over Heels Challenge was done in the name of fun, a test of endurance and whether we could tide over it together. When the challenge kick off, we even had time off the put the goodie bags in the car and visiting the washrooms lol.

Overheard this guy who was jogging at a real leisurely pace telling his female partner "Ok, we maintain this pace can already". The pace was equivalent to me brisk walking :p

The last 1km was made possible as my partner took my hand, motivating me tt the finishing line was just 'in front'.

We sprinted towards the finishing line. There was a photographer there - i'm sure the photos will turn out 'fine' with my constipated look as we made the final dash ; )

Things you'll never want to receive or give!

Have you ever received a gift so bad that you had to muster all your courage to say the most sincere "thank you"?

Although being giving is a virtue, perhaps we should just take a little time and effort to find and give the perfect gift for that special someone..

Because, a gift expresses a lot of how you perceive each other and how he is thinking of you. So if he did not put any thought into it, you start to wonder if he cares enough to make it work..

Let's just say that some of the things compiled in this list has been given by someone in some point of time. Otherwise, let them serve as a "warning" to you:

1) Here today, gone tmr
Chocolates, cakes or any food items.. these can compliment your gift but should never be the solo or main gift. It's usually forgotten and there ain't much memory left for something you ate and pass out..

2) Ornaments
Photo-frames, decorative items - I totally hate photoframes.. they just show little thought or effort. .The only things that should be hanging on the wall are your clocks, wedding photo or mirrors.

3) Teddy Bears/Hello Kitty/Any other soft toys
We may look young but we ain't tt young anymore. Such toys would prolly delight us in our teenager days when you win them for us at the fun fair, displaying your cool shooting skills

4) Someone else's gift
By this, i mean that you know that this gift was not bought for you. Maybe the giver didn't manage to give it to the intended party / had received this gift he did not need..

5) Flowers
Avoid the cliches. There was once in my life where i received flowers on every occasion because the guy 'doesn't know what to buy'. I could possibly be a florist for an alternate career..

Let me know if you have anything to add on ; )

If only..

It's supposed to be sugar and spice now, but what came along was heat and scrutiny. Perhaps she is supposed to emerge stronger after this episode. However, if she really does come out of it stronger, does it mean that she does not need him around her anymore?

If only everyone could just let them be.. leave her alone..leave him alone. What's most important is that they still have each other to look out for. It wasn't easy for them to find each other and get to where they are now..

Everything will be just fine. Really.
