Traffic was so smooth yesterday that I snoozed all the way home on the bus, and amazingly, reached home just shy off 7pm! When the sky was still nice and blue. Amazing eh.

After a quick dinner and indulging in some Channel 8 Drama, I headed out for a 10km run with my brother at Bishan Park. It’s one of the rare times we run together, and I really enjoyed it, talking rubbish and running. I can’t believe he still finishes 10km faster than me despite walking in between, while I go without stopping. Comfort is, I definitely can run longer than him! The weather was cool, and he told me it’s good to run with me, because he has no discipline to keep running beyond a few km. Hopefully we get to run together again soon!

When we got back, we saw my maid watching a show on Arts Central. It was quite depressing – about a man with a huge tumour on his face. It was so huge with lumps that it covered all of his face (I thought he was wearing a mask). I just googled it – it weighed (been removed, thankfully) 33 pounds. It really struck me for some reason – I think it takes a lot of courage for that man to live, and go on with life. I can imagine, many would shun him, not because they are inherently mean or they want to, but it is just a natural instinct, like how kids, or even adults might shield their face if they saw a monster on a cinema screen. My respect goes to him. Surely, in private, he must have faced a lot of distress.

And it made me so very ashamed of myself. That sometimes, I’ve this capacity to be so self absorbed that I’m always focusing on me, myself and I- and forget, I am indeed more than blessed in so many aspects.
