Standard Chartered マラソン


今回の日本語でしましょう。日本語はあまり上手ではなくて許してください。
Standard Charteredマラソンは10年前から、毎年行います。
今年の何月か「いっしょうにStandard Charteredマラソンを参加しましょう」と友達は誘いました。12月2日に決まり、みんな6人でいっしょうに走ると約束しました。
5時はマラソンを開始時刻。
昨日夜の3時から、
友達その1:仕事があって。。。
友達その2:用があって。。。
友達その3:寝坊しちゃって、すみません。(5時のメッセージ。。。O_O)
友達その4:もう出る気分がない。(もう頭にきた O_O!!!)

このマラソンの先週のために、MRTが夜の245から作動します!

すごい人数!

友達その5が出ましたけど、マラソンの途中で足首を捻挫しちゃったとききました。残念でした。結局一人で果たしました。42キロメートル。

到達したあと、もらったものです。


七時間をかかって、「こんなもののためですか?」その思いできました。 :lol:

PACERSと応援する人たち。

そんなに暑いなのに。。。

マラソンの後、14時間も寝ました。=_=

このマラソン、知りませんか?人生に一度出たいですか?

P.S 日本語でどこが間違ってるとこがあれば、遠慮ぜずに、どうかコメントを残してください。すべて日本語でもいいです。書くのはだめなんだけど、読むのは自信あります。そこから勉強もできますね。

Alright, as you can see above, I am trying my hardest to explain this post in Japanese.  :-)
If you’d like, please feel free to leave your comments all in Japanese. I might not be able to write well in Japanese, but I’m pretty confident with my Japanese readings.

The Stand Chart marathon has been a successful event for the past 10 years. This year, my friend decided for a few of us in the clique to join for the year of 2012. Guess what? My friends decided to bail on me for various reasons like, I’ve got work, I’ve got something on, I just don’t feel like going and I woke up late. It is alright and I don’t blame them. But then again, I was kind of surprised that this happened. I was really looking forward to complete this marathon with my friends, even though we might not complete with the same timing. Oddly, when I thought that my last one standing friend turned up in the marathon had completed it, it turns out she had hurt her ankle and gave up halfway. I was utterly surprised that I was the only one who  finished this marathon and it wasn’t even my idea. I had blisters on both my feet at the start of the marathon, the medic stations were all running out of muscle rubs, the heat on my feet caused my abrasions, I’m having sore throat from having beer at the gathering on the other day… Frankly I was even worried that I might not make it.

At 33km, it was my breaking point. I almost gave up the race. Nevertheless, I pressed on because I had this thought in mind, “I had completed 33km, what is 8km to me? 8km is nothing.” And that this thought continued as I passed 34km, 35km and so on and so forth.
When I reached the finish line, I wanted so much to lie on the ground.

I wish I could have taken more photos so I could post it hear, but I was so exhausted that my mind went blank and I’m just not in the mood to take any photos… Although they have located some pretty interesting ideas on the way, like a person dressed in Santa Clause and candy cane…

Right after the race, most of the people I see are pretty much limping like I did. It was an amusing sight indeed. Long queue for cabs, so I took the train home! Cooked myself lunch and slept for 14 hours straight! Gosh, I am dead beat.

Here is my race results. I sure am satisfied with it.

I’m not sure if it was worth going through all this pain. Right this moment, my body is stilll aching all over. But if I think about it in the future, I could say that it was an achievement I suppose. For once in your life, would you want to complete a 42km marathon?

self introduction


Hello everyone!

This is my very first post in this blog so this calls for a self-introduction. My name is Felicia (my friends call me Felly) and I am your very mind-numbing company executive who works every Mondays to Fridays from 9 to 630pm. Well, I believe my personality isn’t very mind-numbing, but my job is. :-D  I look for every opportunity to do something new so that I could at least lie to myself that I am doing something about my life. Okay, I’m kidding. You could say that I am still looking for the reason I am brought into this world, learning about myself on the way, and finding my passion.

I am from Singapore. I am a craze learner. I am a person with a lot of interest (one too many). From martial arts to diving to Language etc. Sometimes I get very enthusiastic about the new things I want to learn that caused me to be too busy to spare some time for people around me. Sometimes I just love staying home because alone time is very important to me. There are several skills that I have learnt but I have stopped practising them and most of them have become part of my life experience. I stopped them because I have moved on to other skills that I wish to acquire and I have dropped them after much consideration. I enjoyed all of my experiences I have had and I hope that there are many more of such experience in the years to come.

My writing style would be towards speech in written sentences (like I am talking to you). Although I have studied the Japanese Language since 2005, I hardly have any chance to practise the Language, and I am not very confident with my Japanese writing. I will try my best to put in a short version of my post in Japanese. I will find time to write as often as I can, perhaps more in English because I need a lot more time to translate them to Japanese. I will deploy as many medium to assist me in my writing as I believe a picture speaks a thousand words. I wouldn’t say that my English is excellent, but I will try my best to provide helpful conversational English phrases you could use.

For this blog, I will post things I have discovered which I would like to share with everyone else, as well as some little events that is happening around my life. From my food to travel to hobbies, or it could be anything under the sun. If you have any information you would like me to post about, feel free to let me know and I will find what I can to share with you here.

I guess this conclude the post for self introduction. I am very glad to welcome you, who spontaneously found out my blog on the vast world of the internet. I hope you enjoy reading my post. Stay tuned.

Cheers
Felly
