One lovely Wednesday night. Same coffee shop. I rode my bike there and walked in with my helmet on. I was looking at its salad selection when a guy said, "Healthy choice!" I smiled and said, "Yeah!" And just like that we had a great conversation about Vancouver, cycling, life & fish. Tall, handsome, brown hair (I think), charming, twinkling eyes. (Single) Ladies be my guess! He is quite a catch (no pun intended) ;-)
One lovely cold Wednesday night. Waiting at a coffee shop at Cambie & Broadway, Vancouver. A coffee date with my daughter. Last time I saw her was three years ago. She entered the coffee shop, paid her coffee and said hi to me. She didn't even asked me for money. It's weird but heart-warming to see her act like a responsible, self-sufficient human being. I need to wake up and smell the coffee!
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Sungailiat Triathlon 2016. Bike leg. Tanjakan gila sebelum vihara. While I was recovering from my unfortunate fall, I saw a male triathlete being pushed by a guy on a motorcycle. And guess what the lady on its passenger side carry? A wheel set.
Sungailiat Triathlon 2016. Bike leg. He stopped to help me fixed my flat tire. Then when all failed he gave me his front wheel. Oh did I mention it was his first triathlon? Who needs roses, love notes, I love yous and candlelight dinners? Bike's wheel is the real deal! Wolfgang Oey you are Awesome! I love you to the moon and back.
One rainy Tuesday evening. Stuck in a long and mean traffic jam in a tollway. (Paid to be stuck in traffic. So ironic) Inching my way oh so slowly. Feeling rather very cross. Then I saw it on the back of a truck. Yup, it was tiring (mentally & physically) to be bitchy.
One fine Friday morning. "Karena ibu datang tepat waktu untuk service mobil, ibu berhak mendapat extra 1 liter oli." A cup of tea would be nice but one litre of oil was nice too! :-) It was delightful to be appreciated for being on time.
My usual chat with my sister never venture outside kids or family gossip. Now we have another common denominator. After almost four years of running I finally have a running sibling! Not only that she agreed to register for a 5K race in October. Her first! \(^_^)/
Senin yang menyenangkan itu latihan interval & minum jamu sambil ngobrol dengan mbak Sri di GBK. Topik hari ini: masak & belanja. "Aku sih sepuluh ribu sehari udah lebih dari cukup mbak. Sayurnya kacang panjang, lauknya tahu atau tempe," kata mbak Sri. Tidak ada nada getir atau mengeluh dalam kalimatnya, malah terasa ada nada bangga bisa mencukupi kebutuhan dasar keluarganya. Mbak Sri idolaku. Wanita paling kaya di dunia.
The joy of receiving a birthday wish, hope & pray from friends and family is like the joy of receiving a finisher medal at the end of a race. Even more! Thank you for your kind and uplifting words. You are awesome with capital A. Looking forward what 50 will bring!
