Tri Love

"I left my heart in San Fransisco Bintan. High on rolling hills, it calls to me. To be where little cable cars triathletes climb halfway to the stars. The morning fog sun may chill burn the air, I don't care. My love waits there in San Fransisco  Bintan. Above the blue and windy sea. When I come home to you, San Fransisco  Bintan. Your golden sun will shine for me." :-)

Tiny Tika

One lovely afternoon at a sport rehab center. She is petite and impeccable. Long lustrous and shiny black hair. French manicured fingers. Her tiny little fingers can make your gastroc, quad, and itb scream and beg for mercy. "Kenapa harus sport tiga macam sih bu? Kenapa nggak pilih satu aja?" LOL

Iron Strength

Anima Sana In Corpore Sano. A sound mind in a sound body. Training your mind is as important as training your physique. Do whatever activities that can put your mind at ease. What do you do to keep your mind cool, calm and collected? :-)

Space Invader

Stick and stones may break my bones, but words will never harm me. So not true. One fine Sunday in a tiny sauna. I was just contemplating how good a sauna after a long run when a Japanese lady went in and sat next to me. Then she started talking complaining about the hygiene of the sauna. Nothing good came out of her mouth. I came out stressful instead of restful. I need to master selective hearing. Masuk telinga kiri keluar telinga kanan. :-)

Pro Bono

Amazing people @doctorShare. Dedicated. Passionate. Servant leaders. An epitome of Galatians 5:13 For you, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. It's an honor!

Land Of PB

There is something magical about Bali. There is something about the air, the wind, the sea, the clouds, the sun, the sand, the sky, the moon, the stars and the trees in Bali. They bring out the best in me. Bali Marathon | 2014. Bali Triathlon | 2016. Mother nature. A force to be reckoned with. "Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth." Henry David Thoreau

Role Play

One lovely Tuesday in a lobby of an apartment. Two lovely ladies. One sat down on a sofa and the other stood up right in front of the first one. The one standing up did most of the talking with a resentful tone. "No. Not tomorrow. It's impossible. I told you I can only do Wednesdays and Thursdays and I don't think bla bla bla," she continued her monologue. Something about a schedule mishap. The one sitting down said nothing and constantly checked her mobile. Avoiding eye contact. Guess which one dress in a nanny uniform?

Sign Language

Lovely Tuesday morning. TVRI loop. A guy cyclist passed me. "Hey!" he startled me. Some meters later he turned his head & quarter of his body, pointed to my direction with his left hand, then pointed to his left chest and smiled before he took off. In return I gave him a thumb up, a wave and a big smile. Can you guess what his gestures meant? ;-)

Out Of Focus

A wide sidewalk. An even sidewalk. A smooth sidewalk. A safe sidewalk. Kurang apa lagi coba? Masih jatuh juga? Kalau Kamis jatuh bego karena lari di tanah bebatuan yang nggak rata masih bisa dipahami rasanya. Tapi ini? What is wrong with me? Sidewalk rash di bahu kanan, lutut kiri dan di jari tangan. Jatuh bego keterlaluan tidak terkira. :-)

Ouch!

Jatuh bego lagi sepeda karena pake sepatu cleat? Nggak heran. Jatuh bego lagi lari karena kesandung akar pohon? Sungguh sangat keterlaluan! Fokus. Fokus. Fokus!
