I ran today.

I ran 9km..
Until puffy jellyfish blisters formed inside my nikes.. :(
It wasn't really fast or anything..
But for anyone who knows me, running for a whole hour is incredible..
It's totally un-mil.. not the mil that hasn't ran in 8months..
Not the mil that is usually half-dead after 2.4km runs..
This is unprecendented.

But most importantly, I wanted to run today.
and it felt good.

And that's a personal record :)

I keep tripping on stairs, missing my bus stops, logging in with wrong login names, spacing out, losing track of time... WHY.

Ninety miles outside Chicago
Can't stop driving, I don't know why
So many questions...
Need an answer
Two years later, you're still on my mind
Whatever happened to Amelia Earheart?
Who holds the stars up in the sky?
Is true love just once in a lifetime?
Did the captain of the Titanic cry?
Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you...
Does anybody know the way to Atlantis?
Or what the wind says when she cries?
I'm speeding by the place where I met you..
For the ninety-seventh time... Tonight
Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you...
Someday we'll know
Why Sampson loved Delilah
One day I'll go
Dancing on the moon
Someday we'll know
That I was the one for you... Open up the world
I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow
Watched the stars crash in the sea
If I could ask God just one question
Why aren't you here with me tonight?
Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why i wasn't meant for you...Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Somday we'll know
Why Samson loved Delilah
One day I'll go
Dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know
That I was the one for you...

"And I'll do anything you ever dreamed to be complete..."

Would you?

I'm sitting here, struck with major jet-lag and fighting to stay awake..
but this is a post i must write, good or bad.

Let's start with where i am now.

I'm currently awaiting to use the last segment of my plane ticket.
I've been scheduled to wait here in Incheon, Korea for a grand total of 22hrs.

And if it wasnt for Jiwon, who picked me up from the airport and just fed me a long awaited sashimi and tempura dinner - i'd be hallucinating and striking catatonic poses at a random terminal gate by now.

Now, who's Jiwon? Shes a real hot korean girl that i met during my student exchange at Penn State - the program that has pulled me from home and any comfort zone i had sometime the beginning of this semester. The program that ended in May and led to a whole new set of adventures that turned into a summer to remember.

This morning was the beginning of the end of it.
(and let me slip in that i failed a driving test this same morning too.. notice i didnt say 'the')
So this morning Terrance and Vincent ( the newlyweds to whom i was bridesmaid to for their beautiful wedding on saturday) stood teary-eyed while sending me off at the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.

But even up till this morning, plus all the last minute packing the night before, i still didnt feel like this was all ending. But once i got on the plane, and every step afterwards, i realised exactly what hanwei blogged about: how the feeling of going back was like seeing and experiencing everything again, only backwards and alone, this time. It's very nostalgic.. but like he said, it's therapeutic.. almost cathartic.

So many things have changed. Like all the 'new flames' people are getting *ahem*.. But at the same time so many things havent.. And i realise that i have to get used to both. I guess thats part of the price i have to pay for just walking away from it all and taking on a whole new life for 8 months.

I admit, I have mixed feelings about coming back. There're things that i'd like to come back to and new things i habituated to and dont wanna leave behind.

But now all i wanna do is sleep.
And so i will.
In Korea.

A guy friend of mine shared this with me, and though it's simple, short and comes off as rather sexist, I still think it's worth sharing:

"Marriage is a strange university -

the men go in losing their Bachelor

and the women go in gaining a Master."

Try saying this three times fast:

(pronounce all the ending sounds properly now..)

"Psych Stats Text"

I can't.

If you're my aquaintance and 'heard' frm somewhere that I 'look' Chinese but 'fake' an accent or something, I will explain now (though it's never once and for all): I'm an American born Chinese, my parents are Hongkongers. I was born in Chicago, raised in Hongkong till I was 5, moved to Boca Raton, Florida and stayed till I was 11, moved to Trophy Club, Texas and stayed till i was 13, moved to Singapore and have stayed there since. Throughout my preschool-univeristy life i have attended 13 schools so far. Was it tough? did it make me bitter? I dont think so, ask any of my friends.. or try and find someone who hates me.. *wink*
