happiness defined....

i have reasons to be happy..reasons to smile.

i am happy coz i completed sac. though last team in the extreme category but it was an achievement for me. no way was i physically competent for the race but i just gritted my teeth and held on.

our 3 days journey brought us through many peaks and valleys mentally and physically. it gave me a better idea of what adventure racing is all about. pushed my limits to a higher treshold. allowed me to discover how much trashing my body can actually tolerate. the mind is amazing. even when my body says no, when my mind says yes, it will still go on.

i am happy coz my mummy is happy. that elation on her lovely face as she told me of her speech that won her a pen.. she's been taking a interpersonal and communication skills course for a couple of weeks now and she has benefitted loads from it. most of all, she gained more confidence when relating to people. i smile, simply because i see my mummy smile.

i am happy because i have many friends who care. i have friends who would help me move my bike up and down numerous buses from sg to customs to city lounge to senai..then from senai to larkin to customs back to sg. thank you, adrian chum. i have friends who would pop me a slab of chocolate when i come back from the gruelling 9hrs race, help me wash my bike, tell me to note that my spoke has broke and comfort me with words of encouragement after a long day's running and biking. thank you, dex. i have friends who have kept me going on, kept an eye on me and stopping to tell me "c'mon, let's do it".. thank you, grace, teckwee and jameson.

i am happy because i have alot of colleagues who care too. thanks for all the prayers =)

in life there are just so many things that can put us down..but we can choose to give thanks. we can choose to count our blessings, instead of the worries.

happiness is how we define of it.

i choose to be happy. =)
