A Subdued Running Year
It sure is a subdued year, this 2014.
The tragedy of MH370 made 2014 more downcast and my prayers to the passengers and crew of the flight and to their families and friends. Be strong. We are all praying with you.
I had a conversation with son last night. He was asking when we are going to stay in a hotel again (read : travel) and I told him that by right we should not do it so much this year and concentrate more on his studies as he will be sitting for his UPSR at the end of the year.
His answer “I can’t be studying all the time. That’s not how to live, Mommy. Let me learn, play, jump around and experience stuff”.
Wow… He really knows how to “psycho” his Mommy. Muahaha
Still, I’m back to (almost) a race a month this year. After a crazy 2013, with me registering and running in races on pretty much a whim; this year I'll only go for those that is interesting or perhaps a few to support friends.

Quite restraint of me, right? Miahaha!!!
Anyways, you’ll probably see my ugly mug at other events that I’m not joining if we are free and can kepoh-kepoh there.
Enjoy life you all! Enjoy the company of your loved ones too!

come on, it's just the beginning of the year (at least still within Q1) and you already commented this is a subdued year for yourself?? eih, you'd never know what's happening next, so likewise you said, stay positive and look forward to more happenings to come.. :)
ReplyDeleteand since you mentioned about MH370.. to the passengers and crew of the flight and to their families and friends, the whole world is with you
I've already have whatever I want to do lined up mah.
DeleteCompared to 24 races that I signed up last year, this is very relaxed dy. Lol
hehe, Raimie is surely becoming more and more witty.. doesn't need to be clear and obvious about what he wants, but saying something like so related to his mommy and seeing things so larger than life.. good that is, and Uncle SK also kind of agree that he must not study all the time but lead a balanced one that blends study, learning, activities, playing, jumping, experiencing.. and of course "staying in hotels"~~ :D
ReplyDeleteSounds like momma like son!... both witty and nitty gritty too! I like this boy!
DeleteI highly suspect he learn it from me. Muahaha
Deleteyeah, enjoy life, cheers to life and celebrate life!! this could probably be the best thing we can do for ourselves, and also for people who we love and love us :)
ReplyDeleteSK was a good studious boy. Rajin belajar. All rounder some more :-)
DeleteYour son is so clever and smart to quote that! That's not the way to live ~ All Work & No Play Makes Raimie A Dull Boy....!
ReplyDeleteSo mummy kena psycho now and drawn up plans to add colours to the calendar, right!!!??
Colors easy to see mah. Lol
DeleteGood to have schedule early so can plan, hehe!!!
ReplyDeleteI always have schedules drawn up otherwise I forgot what races I've signef up for. Hihihi
DeleteHow come this one gets a glam reply first??.... I go sulk in the corner!
DeleteAlamak... bcos I wanna write a nice karangan to reply to yours la Anay buchu buchu
DeleteLol
anay jangan merajuk, come Thambee sayang.. buchu buchu buchu..
DeleteThat night when PM said MH370 hilang, my heart also sank into the ocean and had sleepless night tossing left & right in sadness and more confusions! My prayers are for miracles now.
ReplyDeleteYeah we all are :'(
DeleteThe MH370 incident has really impact us all! :(
ReplyDeleteBut then, life goes on.. And yes, we got to enjoy and live life to the max, cause life is unexpected!!
Appreciate life more
DeleteI still can't figure out the MH370...
ReplyDeleteHoping for a miracle...
Yeah...
Deletemy kids also asking the same question ;)
ReplyDeleteKan? Budak-budak sekarang ;)
DeleteWoo... Kobe!?
ReplyDeleteMake sure you write a travel/race report in great detail, I am planning for some race in cold season next year ;)
There'll definitely a detailed report. Hahaha
DeleteYou ran in cold season what... in Berlin (or somewhere in German?)
That's the main reason I wish to do it again ;)
Delete*thumbs up* :-)
DeleteI will tentatively skip my annual RJM to keep my best to SCKLM... but getting more and more friends signing up, not sure if I can resist :p
ReplyDeleteHahaha
DeleteI should too and concentrate in doing well for SCKLM but I think I will not be able to resist RJM. I need to run after DNSing it last year ;)
Go ahead to do the RJM, I am sure that you will love it :)
DeleteHope so ^^
DeleteGo for a short trip lah...... a weekend trip :P
ReplyDeleteMy hubby booked the Vietnam trip months ago before the MH370 scare, dun wanna go wan ...... I was dragged onto the plane. :(
Aiyo, MH370 is one mishap out of so many flights. No need to worry.
DeleteI always think, if we die then we die lor...
MH370 is one of the strangest stories I've ever read/heard, be it fiction or non-fiction. I wonder if we'll ever know the truth?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Raimie: a bit of empirical learning should be applied right here in Japan. :)
Strange and heart breaking. :(
DeleteThat type of learning should be actively encouraged here too. Way too many Tiger Moms abound and the craziness over the quest of way too many As that somehow resulted in quite a number of socially inept youngsters.
Now, we both are well-balanced and well-adjusted right? ;)
Looking at your marvellous plan (I'm humbled btw...), Energizer Night Race is back ka?
ReplyDeleteIt's rumored to be held in August tapi not in Sepang this time :-)
DeleteShort trip would be nice and maybe good for your boy too. Too much study pun can burn out fast. This year I will be traveling a lot though and that thought is a bit scary, considering my bank account is diminishing bit by bit. Haha. Erk.
ReplyDeleteI should not listen to you travelholic! You're dashing about almost every weekend! LOL
