| | yanjie is right, this blog has become darker and in perhaps in that way, less engaging to the common reader who used to come here for his or her daily installment of ha-has at my expense. so what has changed? have i changed? or have the circumstances or environment around me caused this change?
i don't really know.
perhaps this is truly the start of clinical depression - when you start sinking beneath your daily facade to only find solace in between sheets in the still of the night. maybe i should really turn to self-help books (which i used to denounce and declare utterly useless) since i've apparently become less able to help myself get out of funks, self-imposed or otherwise.
i really want to watch the dark knight because of how dark everyone says it is. maybe i can identify.
this entry wasn't supposed to start off like this, but oh well.
what i really wanted to blog about was the 3d2n nus odac race that we (hazel, guozhang, khaiwei and myself) went for over the weekend, the same race that we've been faithfully taking part in for the past 3 years, the same race that saw us coming in second in the first year and 10th (or some other damnshit position) in the second year, the same race that saw us coming in second again this year. it seems like second place is really the best that we can muster, and as it is, it's unlikely that we'll be taking part again next year (then again, that's what we always say at the end of every race we join).
i'm aching all over right now, having climbed up and down bukit timah hill (which is really omg damn steep), up the insane flight of steps leading to the bridge over henderson road (henderson waves), and basically doing a whole lot of running. my shoulders are killing me especially. and it's time i replaced my leaky hydropack. ok irrelevant but it just struck me.
this year's race saw its fair share of ugly singaporeans (which i'll gladly go into full detail on another post) - both in the form of competitors and drivers. but it also led us to singaporeans who showed that we're not an uncaring apathetic bunch of sods afterall. singaporeans who extended their generosity, who willingly reached out to help us, singaporeans who cared. and that's really heartwarming - to know that your fellow citizens are not as cold and unfriendly as stereotypes make them out to be.
so thank you, to all of you nameless ones who've helped us in this race, you're very much appreciated.
more updates to come (and i know you'll take this with a pinch of salt but who cares haha) soon.
