I always wonder if things happen for a reason. Why I had to fall sick on the week before Army half marathon. All the effort put into preparing for it, all the km ran, all wasted to some extent. its just not fair. next year i heard my unit is involved in organising the event again, considering we did it lyk last year already. don't the army have more units? tt day when i parents forbid me from running i was so upset. its not their fault, they are just being concerned with my health. but i felt so upset, the worse thing is i dunno who or what to be angry with. fate, for being so cruel, or myself, for being weak and falling sick.

after resting over the weekend i kinda calmed down and thought it over. there's no point in getting angry over this. i shan't put all the running effort to waste and i will continue running to keep up my fitness and stamina.i can always take part some time in the future. right now i ought to focus on the upcoming ippt. let's hope i can get silver.

whenever i feel troubled i think back to a book i read recently, the diary of anne frank. this heartwarming diary kept by a dutch girl during world war two is so well written, full of depth and maturity and is truely an inspiration. to think she was only 14. I am full of admiration and respect for her.
