run for sight ;

It is 2:46am and I am still awake. I can't sleep so I decided to blog as usual.

Is it me or the weather is just too humid these days? I've been drinking like 20 bottles of water a day (feels like it) but I still feel extremely sick lately. Body y u no feeling well?!

Yeah.. The weather is just too hot till you can even fried an egg and boil hot water. Can even save electricity.

Okay enough about the weather, lets talk about yesterday's event. Woke up at 5:20am yesterday. Couldn't sleep for the past 2 weeks already. Nights like this I can probably use them to watch a movie instead of lying down, staring at the ceiling. Had nightmares? Watch a movie that makes you laugh. Okay back to where I was, yi sin fetched me around 6:20am as we made our way to Central Park where the event was held.

Not baddd, we just followed the crowd as we seen people with the same shirt as us heading to the park and we followed them too. Started off with a warm-up session with a Celebrity Fitness trainer in the morning. We were finding a spot where we could keep and place our bags as they provide no locker service. Imagine us running while carrying our bags, blindfolded. In the end, a nice lady allowed us to keep our bags in her stand where she sells second hand stuff, told us to support her by buying some things from her stall and we did in the end.

The run was really fun and unique in a way that one of us has to be blindfolded as one of the team member have to lead his/her partner. It taught me so much and to be grateful that God gave me a pair of eyes to see and explore the beauty of the world as I imagined myself being in the situation where I couldn't see especially while crossing the roads, heading to such narrow place and worrying about knocking on cars and falling on steps while being blindfolded. It makes me admire those people that tries their best to make life worth living without this special weapon - eyes - to see the world clearly.

However, it took us at least 30 minutes to reach back to the park after the run. Being blindfolded makes the event really fast as one does not know their whereabouts as his/her partner lead the way.

It was a good event for a good cause. Hoping to participate more marathon events this year.

"You can always make it as thou it is a best year for you. By doing so, ignore the cruel world and go forth and live your life."
