just got back from my run.. i'm still perspiring and i hope i dun sweat unto my mac.. today wasn't good i wanted to do 7.5km and having done 3km and 5km on tues and wed i was confident that this would be a breeze in the park, in other words an easy run. but around 2km into the run i felt tight and like i had the stitch feeling. my cross country coach used to tell me that stitch is for those who skip training and not train enough. zzzzz.. anyway, i endured the pain.. just before i u turn, i saw a komodo dragon, or monitor lizard. dunno whether they're the same thing but ya i saw that big lizard, trying to get back into the forest thingy. i was running along the road at lower pierce reservoir and so it was fenced up, so like from outside, it's hard to get into the forest. maybe to prevent monkeys from running out onto the road. but monkeys climb unto the trees and climb down anyway so i dunno maybe the fence is just to prevent komodo dragons from coming out. anywayz, this one came out somehow and was frantically trying to get back into its 'natural habitat'. i ignored it and continued running.. at 3.75km i turned around and went back, and when i went past that same place, the big lizard was still trying frantically and desperately to get back in. it was like trying to squeeze past the fence. despite its most valiant efforts, it could only look sadly as its body couldn't get thru.. being the knight in shining armour, i stopped to offer it help. (in truth the stitch was really wearing me down) I tried to pull up the bottom of the fence so that there's a big hole it could go thru. but when i finally managed to do that, it was either going the opposite direction from me, or stoning. in short, it just didn't wanna be helped. i felt really sorry for it, but after a few brief episodes of "i cannot give up, must help this lizard then i can blog about how i helped it", i finally gave up and just continued my run. haha wonder what happen to the big lizard. i think i stopped and rest there for like 8-10 mins. i was even thinking of calling SPCA.
haha oh wait lizards aren't animals right.. haha..
on another note, i'm having family problems again, more specifically, sister vs parents problems.. you know i guess everyone has their fair share of family problems, u know how children are rude towards parents everything, quarrel and fight etc etc.. I firmly believe children should obey their parents, and parents should love their children and bring them up in the right way. Fathers must not exasperate their children (Ephesians something something), but must something something. but children must still still obey their parents.
