Sunny days & Starry nights ... Sunday, May 09, 2010
so one week of vacation has passed eagerly ;) i've been out sourcing for whatever opportunities that can keep my mind and body stimulated throughout this 3 months ; which some have come to a nought and some have materialised to my delight.
.
for the record, i've gone for my 1-starkayaking course over the weekend and i'm proud to say that i've done that. Being out in the open and challenging yourself with all the unpredicabilities of nature is certainly something that will force you to bring out the best in yourself. It is where you question your best and test your limits. At least, i felt that i've been tested through the 2 days out in the open. A special mention i should give to the capsize and rescue drill, which thoroughly awoken me to the fears that had been hiding within me to my oblivion. I never knew i would be so afraid of turning down facewards into the water. It was a fear-triggering experience. Perhaps i am not as brave and rugged as i thought myself to be, but still, this tiny ordeal has allowed me to know more about my fears and what i should be gearing myself up for. Definitely the fear of capsizing had pulled me back from fighting the currents and pulling the stunts, nonetheless, i vow to be more resilient the next time i touch the water in my kayak.
.
moving on, i've been rejected yet again for an overseas community service trip. Certainly is doesn't feel good to be rejected but i've learned to take it in my stride. There are always greater things out there, just so that you have to find them. I have made a promise to myself to make the most of my 3 months here. No, not by busying myself for the sake of busying, but by experiencing all the little wonders out there which i had never gotten the chance to see and learning as much as i can, from the people around me, from the surrounding, from work and from books, just which ever avenue is available for me.
,
I will not say I hope my ventures will turn out to be a success; rather, I will make them come true ;)
& Lazy afternoons ...

Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.
