Report of 100KM walk with Touch Diabetics

It was indeed a physically, mentally challenging 100KM 3 day 2 night walk around the parks of Singapore. One that really pushes one limit to the maximum. I too was pushed to the maximum and sustains aches and muscle stress through the 3 day of walk.

Like a common saying, no pain, no gain. It is indeed no pain no gain. However, when I see those who have a condition, a medical condition i.e Diabetics; I reflected and relooked. That is more challenging than us. They have to not only overcome the pain and agony of the physically pain, they too have to managed their blood sugar level. My buddy, Bruce, whom seemingly like one fit person, went to hospital with chest pain. A reflection of how fortunate I am. A walk of just taking another step ahead despite all the ache and pain. A journey that starts and continues with every small step ahead. What more can 100KM teaches and challenges not only those who can but challenges those who think they cannot. It is too then not about completing but with the heart and decision to complete the race and fulfil all the objective and purpose that the 100KM walk has acheived. To raise awareness and also the build faith and confidence in all who walk through.

Everything that has a beginning has a ending and everything ending there is a beginning. This 100 KM is the beginning of a new journey for me. To walk the additional mile, to really decide to walk the race that I have chosen to walk through. To be able to move where I was and am called to now. A call is a calling, and it will be a calling when it is answered. Just like a King's call. It will not be a King's call if none of his army or knights respond to that call....the horn call....the majesty call. What so the call of the King of Kings of higher grace and majestic.

Walk on even the road is tough. For what is never done will ever be done once.

Another boring day.....and asked about asking the same question

Yup. Today another boring day. Another day that I delayed and had to take cab to work. Didn't really managed to teach much games or the games that I would like to teach. Only until the night that a group of 3 guys....though a little attitude, managed to appreciate Power Grid. Yup Power grid. One of them,who tried Bang before, like the game and his 2 other friend too enjoyed the game...though it is a little challenging at first. Overall although it didn't start well for the day, it ended well for the day. Now back at home, typing my daily journal and reflecting upon the day.

But really Praise God that current I am at $180 out of $250. And I realise that I have till 6 Jun to complete all the support raising. It is a tough and tight time....also due to the last minute appeal to people to bless :)

Another thing interesting too.....being asked do I always ask people what they are doing? Hmm....it has being awhile and it is also something that I noticed some time ago...but well haven really found out how else to ask though. Perhaps it may be a time for a change? Or just I am just simple questioneer and preferred listener?


Anyway, it is an interesting point to ponder over and I am glad and encourage to know....someone noticed and asked. In the END...PRAISE GOD :)

Daily Journal start today? due to work

Yup...as the title mention...daily journal that starts today? due to work.....due to a course to be exact. Certificate in Practical Counseling Course. This is the course that I have already attended 9 lessons and next week is my tenth and final one. Thus as part of the homework, which is an item of self-care, I chosen to write a daily journal which I have not being doing so for a long long time. At least a few years. So here are the accounts for today.

Today is Tuesday. So it is the start of my work week. As I have NDP commitment under TCS, thus I only work like from 2-6pm. Today was a unique day.....but as usually I am still late due to making wrong choices, delaying and sort. However at work place, things are different. When I enter, there is already a group intending to play starcraft. Another group wants something strategy. Woah...rare day. It was a day that despite wrong choices, there are good things to commemorate? or remember. To enjoy the good moments and learn from the bad ones

Aside from work, the time after work; going down to Bedok Camp to see the performers rehearse for the item. This time round, there is more organized and all of us are assigned to the groups. I was happily assigned to the Dancer group which I am more interested in....though it seems harder to penetrate them. As the SAF Ankim....he is really one charismatic person. With him, he is running the whole show….he is like one equal to 3 Touch mentors. Today rehearsal was really good….all is excited and putting their effort into it…… and the item is coming to shape. And of course I get to meet people…..dancers and other mentors. Well neutral feelings neutral feelings, which is the right choice. Anyway, it is glad that today managed to get more support raising and managed to talk about the PD6 100KM walk. Somehow, there is always a good timing of God to interject and intervene, especially at these time that I am not making the right choices. Well it is a journey that is exciting as in my heart, I feel that God is not giving up, and neither should I. I should prevail for tough times will not last but tough people do.
