Clouds clearing after some soul searching and words from an angel...
Things are unclear and still remain unclear... Idealism isn't something bad. It's hard to achieve but that's what makes us hope for... to fight for... Friendship is something we all take for granted for... Though I didn't really have good responses from the people around me, my angel just makes it better for me... Her words just makes me calm down and takes me back to my path... It really means alot to me... I hope my angel will get work done soon and don't get overwhelm with work too often... Guess that's the result of taking a major as well as a minor...
Another strange event was to encounter this 66 year old man, who turned out to be one of my JC PE teacher's teacher. Cool huh? I was just jogging with my brother and I was clocking the timing about 1min 15sec per 400m and we happen to pass by this old man several times. And numerous times, he kept encouraging me, kept saying "Yes good, good, keep on going. Your speed is good, keep on going..." I didn't know why he did that in the first place. I only got to understand what his intentions was when I was doing body stretches and he came talking to me. He asked me whether I was JJC (because I was wearing the PE T-shirt). So I replied that I was but I've graduated from there. Then he mentioned that he was from Hwa Chong Boys High before when he was younger. He mentioned that one of the PE teachers in JJC was his student and the current principal in JJC was once his colleague back in Hwa Chong JC. He was from Hwa Chong Boys High but continued to be a PE teacher probably because he enjoyed running, especially when he started running since 16 years old up till now. That really surprises me alot...
He didn't seem that he was crazy or bluffing and I believe that he was sincerely driven to help students with their IPPT. He told me that whenever he see students running, he would continuously encourage them to keep their pacing. I really admire someone like him who has devoted his life to running and exercising to keep fit. That's one of my goals in life, to be fit even when I'm old... To be healthy and be fit, not to rely on external sources to keep me moving. One thing that really surprises me about this old man was that he told me about the late president of Singapore, and that the latter was his classmate back in school. I mean, it's REALLY and honour to talk to someone related to the late President of Singapore. I never got to remember much him and I really wished I would have learned a little more about Singapore's history.
After a while, the old man said his good bye and he left. I didn't get to catch his name, but he somehow disappeared immediately. I don't know where he came from... He couldn't have been an illusion since my brother saw him too... Oh well.. I'm really happy to talk to someone like him. My brother asked me what happens if he would have talked to me like 1/2 hr or so. I told him that I didn't mind, especially when someone like him at this age, no one would really want to listen to him... I believed that if I were to listen to him, it would have made his day. I wouldn't want myself not being able to talk to anyone in future too... Besides, it was just 1/2hr of my life... What does 1/2hr of my life compared to the priceless memory of making someone happy?
