Don't bother

Not admiring those who can multi-task and still able to hit high on all aspects.

Salute on those who are actually not really functional but pretend to be busy with something, complain about everything are and annoy everyone who work with them.

They can really make you sick just by hearing the name.

I don't bother to even talk, waste of my energy and my ears have to suffer more complaints after that. Stay away from that kind of people, just to make my world more peaceful.

跑

我爱跑步。

前面有人，就奋力去追；后面有人，就奋力抛开。

前面是目标，后面是经验，不管目标有多远，我只管追，身上的经历和体验，能让我更强。

向前冲，冠军只有一个，我已习惯成为一个失败的人。

失败不是最恶，最恶是没勇气，至少我奋斗过，我会勇往直前。

我从没后悔。

Thoughts worth thinking

What have we learned from the past?

The Earth sent its second warning, people are struggling and Malaysians are posting status updates.

We are too defenseless, staying in the comfort zone. What would happen if Sumatera is not standing between us and the Indian Ocean.

The Japanese, on the other hand, had learned a lot from the disaster last year. Safety is always the first issue that cross their thoughts and we are here posting status update.

What if the tsunami really hit us?

Developed nation? But where's the first class mentality?

The missing identity

Sometimes, I'm confused about myself.

Being trained as a long distance runner by my first coach, I was chosen to take hurdles by my second coach. I was the long distance runner, hurdler and relay racer for my secondary school team.

When I entered the university, I lost my strength and stamina. At some point, I nearly gave up, I've been running on the wrong type of shoes and having knee problems. I found new hope in myself after trying on Nike Air and is currently a Nike Lunar user. I started to enjoy running again.

When I've decided to extend my long distance running to marathon, I got a call from Sports Centre that I was selected as a track and field athlete. My third coach (although I think he doesn't qualified) told me that I'm a sprinter, I argued and he insisted. Due to team requirement, I need to do middle distance which is 400 metres.

I begin to think if I need to play different roles at different stages of life. If I really need to do so I am ready because we don't get to decide on many things in life. We have to evolve and adapt to situations.

Three

At the beginning of my final year as undergraduate in the University of Malaya, I had made 3 little wishes, or should I say targets. My first target is academic target, second target is Toastmasters target and the last one is sports target.

I want to graduate with first class for my degree and it seems that I am on the right track. What I am doing right now is to enjoy the precious time with my coursemates.

I have achieved advanced communicator bronze and competent leader but I also want to achieve 'President Distinguished Club' status for my club during my term as the club president. It seems hard but I see the light recently. I tell myself to keep going, keep going! I am almost there.

As for sports, it's quite far away from me now, thanks to all the work that put me off the target. Perhaps a little bit more time but at least I know that I can at least run my first half marathon this June.

I know what I want for myself but I need many targets on the way.

Go, Jing Yi~!

Tolerance

The largest space in the world is not the universe but the heart. And yet it is also the smallest.

I'm curious about my tolerance when I'm under pressure.

I felt extremely calm standing at the starting line with national athletes at the adjacent lanes, telling myself that I have nothing to lose.

I took deep breath while reading through the exam questions not knowing how to answer, knowing in the end I can figure it out.

I smiled while answering questions during thesis seminar, knowing that I'm that lecturer's least favourite student.

I learn to always prepare for the worst and after that good things will come to me. It has to do with all the psychology knowledge learnt from my first coach. I'm so glad that I acquire this skill which help me conquer many mission impossible with great endurance and mental strength.

The largest space in the world is not the universe but the heart. And yet it is also the smallest. Your maturity sets the size of your heart.

MASUM 2012

Life is like racing. We don't get to choose the lane we run, the team we want or the competitors we race. We can say life is unfair. Hmmm...exactly~! But it doesn't mean that we should live on with it. I always believe that we can change our life. Not completely changing but I've been positive about many things in life.

We can choose to complain or we can choose to get over it. It's the choice we make that matters. And I choose to believe.

Those who complain can never learn to love. I always know that all the things I do are not meant to impress anyone. I never want to, I just want to improve myself, this I tell to myself everytime when I step onto the starting line. When I look up, it's the lane that I need to conquer. Good or bad, it depends on how I want to perform. And I know I want to bring out the best in myself. It doesn't matter if those on the adjacent lanes are national athletes, I just need to beat myself.

The most important thing is to finish strong to the best of your ability and feeling proud of all the efforts and sacrifice. And I have no complaints.
