Stupidity....

“Stupidity has no cure….”
a very familiar statement to those once in the ACJC Canoeing Team of 2004,
it was what Nic. used to describe some of the things we used to do…
though I do not completely agree to this statement of his…
the reason being,
we weren’t always on good terms,
(no one at fault, just a simple case of clashing personality)
but somehow or another,
today, I suddenly felt that there is actually some truth to this statement of his.

as for now,
I’m sitting here blogging while my left foot is stinging in pain…
not surprising given the fact that,
its missing a 10 cent sized piece of skin from the sole…
(got donated to The Pavement at Macritchie earlier today…)
but,
why then did this stupidity statement come into play??
well…..
THIS AIN”T THE FIRST TIME!!!!!!
in fact,
this is the 4th time I’ve donated a piece of my feet’s skin without the permission of my feet.
twice at SDBA, once at East Coast (a real OUCH!!) and today.
and all just because I was too over confident about running around bare footed,
and overestimated the thickness of my ‘elephant-hide’ soles……
I guess this was the stupidity Nic. was talking about…..
stupidity with a tinge of clumsiness…hahaha!!! ouch!!

anyway,
when down rowing at Macritchie this morning…
and for the first time, I clocked a half-marathon distance on the water….
23 laps in km all together…actually that’s 2 clicks over the half-marathon dis…
but the point is,
this was one of those things that I’ve never thought I had the tenacity and perseverance to carry out and complete…
but I did it today,
maybe because it an ego thing….
as in being a grand senior down training,
what they do, I must also be able to do,
and to be able to do even better.
or maybe,
it was because of the nice weather plus the calmness of Macrithchie that inspired me to keep rowing…..
or it could be that I’ve just not given myself the opportunity to achieve what I’m capable of…..
what ever reason it is,
I’m just really happy of what I was able to complete today…..=]

apart from rowing,
I transformed in to my couch-potato form once I got home….
slept and eat and watch tv…..=]
for those who love Hong Kong movies…
especially ones with action, love and basically a very good story-line…
I recommend the movie “Full Throttle”
starring Andy Lau and Gigi Leung…..
a movie about the struggles in life of a motorbike racing enthusiast….
and the obstacles he faced as well as the lessons he learnt…
truly a movie worth spending 2 hour of arse-numbing….
and a real nice movie if you have someone special to watch with too…=]

-Cheers-….ouch!!!!!....haha=D
