Why I

First of all, why suddenly I'm writing my blog in English?
Well, that was because my mum saw me writing my blog in Mandarin,
and said:" You should start writing it in English to improve your English writing skill."
She was right, I haven't writing in proper English since i graduated, except that only work-related reports, PowerPoint slides which obviously is just in point form.

Alright, back to the point, W.H.Y?!

Why I run? Why I cycling? Why I race? Why...? Why..? 

People around me (except those are addicts just like me) are asking me the question over and over again. Especially when they saw those bruises, minor cuts or sun burn.

"OMG! What happened to you?!"

"Why you wanna torture yourself like this?!"

"Aiyo~ you got nothing better to do meh~"  

So on and so on, etc.... etc... I am not a masochist, okay? 

I do not get pleasure from these wounds but rather the sense of accomplishment when you able to finish the course by own strength (or maybe sometime with teammate's help).

The pain is there, but depends on you to choose whether you grow stronger or to get defeated.
I love this quote when I read the book by Harui Murakami, it talks about the running life of the author.
This is so true if one choose to get out from their comfort zone and take the challenge, pain will always be there, but isn't that the purpose of you getting out comfort zone?

Why would one carry tyre on early weekend but not rolling on bed?!

Or covering themselves with mud but not spa session?!

Cycling during holiday and get sunburn... W.T.F?!

I am a lean person, since young. So people always have the impression that I am weak and fragile.

Beside, they would say it is because I did not eat meat, bo lak! 

*Yes, me and my family are vegetarian* 

Please la, look at my bro, look at Robert Parish, Carl Lewis, Scott Jurek, Frank Medrano etc. Those vegan athletes are bad-ass!! 

I run, I cycle, I race, because I wanted to get better, fitter, stronger and faster! 

To prove

                I can do it, as a lean person, 

                                                      as a vegetarian, 

                                                                           as a procrastinator

(I do not train as hard as those hardcore racer, still some non-exercise people thought that I really hardcore). 

Come on, look at those big smiles on the face even the bodies covered in mud, bruises, cuts whatever! It is fun!! 

- Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional - 

Start to move and embrace the pain! (Don't get me wrong, I not promoting any bad habit ya! XD)
