i haven't been blogging much because i haven't been running much.. i went running today though.. 11.5km i think i took 1hr7mins which was longer than previously but i felt quite relaxed. my heart rate was about 23/10 secs. the weather was great and i was feeling comfortable and towards the end running at a good pace.. i was like imagining that there were people at the side of the road cheering me on hahaha. i even sticked out my tongue, smiled and gave a thumbs up to my imaginary supporters hahah.. My dad is advising me to run 30 mins and walk 5 mins for the marathon but i'm not sure if i should take up that advice...
anyway update on my life.. right now, i'm at a place where i need to intentionally spend more time reading and studying the word of God. i have a hunger, but the things of the world tend to distract me. i need to be more focused. school wise, i need to start studying for my pathology professionals. i also need to settle my overseas electives. originally supposed to be UK and africa but now looks like africa might be out. so i might be taking up this 8 week colorectal surgery thing at SGH. oh well we'll see how it goes. in terms of the residency program in singapore, initially i was like oh crap how am i going to get the surgical residency. i think there's only like 6 places in SGH and 8 places in TTSH and a few other places in the other hospitals which means it will be extremely competitive. like super. so many people wanna do general surgery. But i'm learning that God has a purpose and plan for my life, and i shall rest in that plan and purpose. I want to walk with the presence of God in my life....
In a separate issue, i was just talking to my mom, and i'm learning that my dad is really concerned that i don't have a girlfriend. Like seriously. He told my mom in RJC there were so many girls, now in medicine got about hundred plus girls. still no girlfriend, does he have some problem? hahahaha. i realise i do get some funny traits from my dad.. he is super super rubbish and actually very funny. kinda like me. hahaha. my mom just kept on laughing today at his crazy antics. like after he came back from his 30km run, he told my mom he wants to carry a grandchild. and started going on about the need for me to hurry up get married. and my mom teased him that it's ok if i remain single, like how paul remained single. and my dad got so worked up he started scolding my mom hahahah.
