hehe~~ update :Dthe past two months was more than what i should have been able to handle... it was hectic, tiring, stressful, and im sure im about to explode right here right now! but now, im just glad that it's almost over...the past 2 months was an experience which i will never forget, one which cannot be put into words... it was both fun and stressful at the same time!
sometimes i just wish 'oh gosh! please let it be over!' and other times i will be thinking ' hmm, this isnt all that bad... sure beats spending an entire holiday doing your homework :D' (i haven started yet btw)throughout the entire process, i have learnt much, and gotten much... from gaining new friends, to gaining new knowledge, and slowly but surely, gaining new leadership skills... these things, i will never forget...
but now it is almost near the end, and i cant help but be a wreck of nerves.... everyday when i wake up i will find myself saying '8 days to go.... 7 days to go.... 6 days to go...' and wondering, ' have i missed out anything? did i forget something? wad if it rains on the day we go ECP?' well, sure sounds like im going mad... but the past 2 months taught me that anything can happen anytime, anywhere...to my comm... i just wanna say thank you for all the help these past two months and well done everyone! DHSpectrum '09 will be the best orientation ever! :D for the time being, LOGISTICS JIAYOUS~!well, haven parkour-ed for some time now... getting so fat! grrr.... and for those who still dunno... yx and i joined PKSG :D aka Parkour Singapore....going to simei to parkour before IA 06-09 X'mas party tmr with yx... sure will be one heck of a workout!came across this poem too!Parkour - Poetry in Motion Text:I walk on the Red Carpet of the UniverseTo Converse between time and space,Looking for a place to be free, a place that I see, what separates you from me.I overcome my fears, facing them head on,
against every challenge I try to stay strong, Sprinting I leap, hit the wall as I flow,Then vault forwards to the ground below,Leaping from rail to rail, the presents irrelevant,So my eyes focus on the future, and determine the environment.I hit the path with graceful pace,beast the rail sweat dripping from my face.I hit the bollard, and fly through the air,an explosion of movement, wind streaming through my hair.My surroundings are a blur, so my senses must sharpen,I tunnel my vision, everything else begins to darken.As I hit the landing, my feet must compensate,Weight distributions instinctive, theres no need to hesitate.My breathes are deep, and my heart pumps fast,Flushing my body with blood and oxygen to last.My muscles contract as they take the strain,Bounding over walls, this is how I train.To become Agile, Flexible, Fast and Strong,Worthy of the 3RUN family, for which I belong.While the average guy lives an elaborate lie,The fear in my eyes will never fortify.The adrenaline in my bloodstream is evident,And all my other feelings are rendered irrelevant.As I make my next movement of which Ive planned in advanceI mime the precision leaving nothing to chanceTepid and unwavering my balance commands meA hero of stature as Im expressing to beSomething and someone much more than the normIm a cannon exploding the eye of the stormStained walls appear hear where others marks have been madeA map of movement like an atlas has now been outlaidI can use these footprints to inspire me to improveTo spur me on, on my quest to move.Its a sign that I too belong to this placeAfter all Ive left marks you can still see my trace.My face contorts as I brace to leap,energy flows through my body from my head to my feet.I drive my body off of the wall,and float for that moment, time seems to stall.Coming back to my senses, my feet meet the ground,I tuck to a roll barely making a sound.I round a corner, coming out in a stride,Forcing myself on, leaping with pride.I wanna stop just for a second, say it straight from the heart,Life is a lesson, from the day you are born to the day we depart.Family is the most important thing, so hold them near,Life is too short to live it in fear.Be positive, helpful, kind and curtious,Stress is of the devil, stay calm, never furious.Such things arent important, they cannot impress,How many people you bless, is how you truly measure success.My skin may tare and the flesh may be seenBut the adrenaline pumps strong and my muscles stay keenFibres explode with every contractionThis is my life, the fatal attractionNo questioning the universe, this is just part of my plot,And as George Bernard Shaw said:You see things and say why? But dream things that never were and say why not?Afterall, Pain is temporary, Quitting is forever.Lance Armstrong told me this, As far as Im concerned Never say NeverMy training is my life, it is my catlyst,Its why I work hard and tend to persist.I hit the wall where graffiti enthrals the once bareLike it I hit it with intensive art flairThe art of the movement as prominent as the wallStarted out the same as nothing at allIt strange how such beauty could not once be thereI feel blessed in myself that I have something too shareI carve my own path like huskies in the snowLeading a track for others to followAlthough the path I lead may not just be mineI encourage others to find there own in due time
it's a very nice poem... see! parkour can be intellectual too u noe! :D
life is too short to live in fear.... i like that line... tells you too pursue what you want,teaches you not to be held back by fear.... teaches you not to be afraid....
haha! such a long post... shall leave it at that :)
