About the GrumpyQueen

A.K.A Gatekeeper

I love food, don't deprive me of it.

I'm not Princess, I'm Queen

I can be quite grumpy and when I am, I hide here, my dungeon for reflections, ramblings and ranting.

Whatever I write are opinions, and may not be the whole truth. Do not read it like the Gospel.

I hate as vehemently as I love
I already know I'm crazy, be my friend, it's safer

Different is not bad, just not the same as the rest

If you don't like me, it's probably mutual
But I'm nice, really :p

Exercise is good for ya

Fitness test today. I wanted to get an exemption. If you all don't already know, I managed to get exempted for 2 years straight. In other words, it's been about 4 years since I last trained for NAPFA..

I figured, they're not going to put the word, FAIL on my slip. I'm going to get 2 CCA points for participation and bronze. So even if I trained, would get a bronze. I might as well go there and just participate, fail never mind what...

I failed. But thankfully, no need to complete the 2.4 km run. So me and my friends, we ran for like 2 rounds, dashed the last 100 metres and gave up.

I'm not here to flaunt my unfitness. The reward came later. I found out what was missing in my life.

EXERCISE!

I was feeling lethargic and depressed for a long time, if you cannot tell by looking at my face, go back and read my previous entries. I changed my diet, changed my sleeping habits, tried sleeping a bit more, a bit less or maybe a little earlier but it didn't work. My mom was saying it's the lack of exercise. I reasoned, I practically dash to class every day, walk fast, make an effort to take a 10 min walk home. Is that not exercise? Well, I'm not ballooning into a fat pig, I must be having enough exercise!

I was so wrong. The above is probably exercise to some extent. When I rush to class or walk fast to the next destination, my mind is not relaxed. I'm stressed out, therefore, I don't enjoy the full benefits of the exercise. So pek chek, how to enjoy?

Today, I was just running, having fun, laughing at myself. When I finished, my muscles were shouting for mercy but I felt lighter and happier. When I saw myself all sweaty in the mirror, I saw that glow in my face that has been absent for a long time. My frustrations were gone. I had the energy for exercise, never made the effort. Now, when the energy is released, you feel happier.

So I wanna exercise more. Swim like how I used to. I suddenly feel the love for singing returning. One song that caught my attention today.
