All we need is just the first foot forward

I just came back from a 16 hour round island cycling trip with my bestie, Shaiful. The beauty of the trip was, it was all UNPLANNED. Impromptu. I suggested there and then when we met up for a short dinner and i told him, "Pol! Let's go cycling. Right now. Round island. Just like what we used to 7 years ago". And we did. Just like that. Random activities that just make you remember the good old days. I'll never forget yesterday's trip. Never. Talking bout how long we've been friends, talked about life, future, problems and shared jokes and happiness that only both of us can understand. It's hard to find a great friend who's always there in times of distress and need. Thanks bro. This entry is for ya.

The main essence of this entry is about taking the first few steps that would will not allow you to turn back or procrastinate on a certain projet. N.A.T.O. no action talk only. For example, you've always been talking about going to Thailand for the full moon party. Most would just leave the conversation as it is. Unless one of them initiate and start to collect money to pay for the airfare, the trip won't happen. Once you've passed the money, then only will that brain of yours start to think of what to do next and plan.

The trip from my house to Shaiful's house already tested my mental endurance. There was no way i'm gonna turn back cause i have to go back while Shaiful will jus stay at home if we decided to cancel da trip. And so we set off the same trip we did 7 years back.

The slopes at Upper Thomson and Far East Plaza nearly killed us. Crying in my head while the lactic acid accumulated in my thighs. But not giving up was juz the motto of da trip and my motto in life. If you cannot run, jog. Just DONT stop moving.
