It's 2.15 in the morning and i'm still at the living room with my eyes wide open o.0
Bizarre! I never went to sleep this late. Maybe this eagerness in me to write about
this event that make me still awake.
Back to the main point, it's a very tiring but exciting day where me and my
friends joined the Nike Run 2011 :) It's an interesting journey as we started right after subuh
prayer. Feeling enthusiastic, we woke up at 5 and got prepared. Right at 6 am, we went to the
drop off zone where the cab was already waiting for us. When we arrived at the LRT station, it
was still closed :D But still, we found our way to catch up with the very first LRT that morning.
And it's kinda funny to see so many people wearing same cloth as us in the LRT. Those are the
people who also got involved with the run :) We arrived at 6.30 and made our way to the
starting point at Padang Merbok, Kuala Lumpur. There are lots of people as we arrived. All
wearing orange shirts. hehe~ We started our run at 7.15.
There are many things happen during the run, i saw a lady walking with her baby, a couple
who ran together, an uncle who blew the spirit to keep running to everyone that he passed by.
It was a very interesting event. I was quite slow that i got left behind. But, i don't mind since
my aim was to complete the run in less than 2 hours:) When i was walking alone, there are
many things that came across my mind. I was too tired after the 6th KM till i feel like stopping.
At that point of time, i received this SMS from a friend of mine sounds like this "Wootwoot anda
di mana? Kami jalan slowly da lepas 6KM tunggu anda keyh, go Qien go! :D" And i started to run
again to catch up with them. :') Then, i told them to go first as i might cause them to be late.
After the 8KM, i was darn tired. However, after seeing a smile from this one lady and received
a good luck from her, i felt that yes, i need to finish this run.
Alhamdulillah i made my way to the finishing line~ Thus, i can conclude that actually the
most important value in life is to believe. :) If i didn't believe in myself, i might not finish the run
and stop halfway. That determination is far more important than anything. Taken from one of
my colleague's tweet "Yes, i was not the best runner, but i ran and finished it" -Awad Almurisi.
Hence, we can actually do anything that we want as long as we believe that we can. Other than
that is not to give up easily. Because life is never easy, but we are the one who choose whether
to make it easy or not. Not to forget that HE will never give us something that we cannot bear
with :)
"Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the
consequence of ] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [bad]
it has earned..." (Al-Baqarah : 2;286)
