First 10KM Road-running in Taiwan.

3/26
A memorable day. A day which I breakthrough my limits. Every year, my university will organize a 10KM road running from our school back to jingshe(慈濟靜思精舍）. I didn't join this activity when I was a fresh year, because I told myself that I can't do it, people might laugh at me that I can't run due to my sickness(asthma). I was worried that people might laugh at me, but my thought was wrong, no one will care how other people like when we were all running on the road.

When I was back at home on last summer holidays and spring holidays, I forced myself to exercise everyday, I need to train up my stamina to join the 10km road running. There is a little hill nearby my house there, altitude 225meter. I went to jog everyday when I was back at home. I have used about 3 months to train myself up.

So, when I was back in Taiwan, the first I did was signed up for the 10km road running activity! The day that I have been waited for long long time!

There were only 7 people who joined this run in our course.

On that day, the temperature was around 12c~16c. At first, I was thinking to give up this road running, because it was too cold, I have never run in such cold day, and I worried that my asthma would get worst. But I forced myself to wake up and join the run no matter what. Why I would do that? Because before that I watched a ultra-marathoner's(Tommy Chen) story. He is a cancer survivor, after he recovered from his illness, he trained himself and join all sorts of ultra-marathon competition.

While I was running, i really wanted to give up and why did i put myself in this kind shit. But whenever I have this kind of thoughts, I reminded myself about Tommy's story, and tell myself that:" Tommy can did it, why can't I?! I had a healthy body, strong determination! Come on Lyn! Bring it out! Bring it out your power! Show and prove it to yourself that you can!" With this thought, I finished the run all by myself. I cried when I reached the finish line, people clapped and cheered for me. I finished it, all by myself.

1 hour 45 minutes. I have used to finish this run. I know is a little time out, but I'm proud of myself that I finished it.

I will continue to do more training, and join for the next run!!

*story behind this post: Trust yourself, you can do it. Things always happen for reasons, don't worry, be happy and do it! 

Hair Donation

WELL

I have cut my 42cm long hair due to the reason I wanted to donate it for those cancer patients. One wig costs about 3000~4000NTD, and some of the patients couldn't afford for it, so many society in Taiwan started the activity of collecting people's real hair to make out a wig. And it costs less and more meaningful. 

 I have keep my long hair for almost two years++, and my purpose was to donate it. I have a cancer survivor in my family, so I understand how it feels to see your hair fall one by one day due to chemotherapy, it is so sad to see that. I was first planned to cut my hair on 31/12/2015. But I was to worry that I might look weird with short hair, so once again, I delayed my plan. 

I really like how I looked with my long hair, I look so feminine with it. And I love my braids so so so muchhieee. Love until I wasn't willing to cut it. 

Finally, when I was back in Malaysia, I decided to cut my hair after Chinese new year.I have thought for a very long time and finally I got the guts do it. Actually I just cut 30cm out of 42cm. haha. Why I would have this kind of decision? Because my mum she was very unbearable with my long hair, the floor of my house was flooded with my fallen long hair, and it might causes some growing of bacteria or virus or anything. The first photo that I showed in this post is the photo when I was cutting my hair, ALL AT ONCE! I thought I would cry badly, but surprisingly I smiled happily deep from my heart :) 

TADAAAAA

 This is my 30cm long hair!!!! I have lots of hair until the stylist have to seperate it into two bunches of hair for her to cut! 

 And I brought my hair back to Taiwan to donate it. Why I brought it back to Taiwan? Because I can't find any society which do this kind of hair donation services in Malaysia, so i decided to bring it back to Taiwan. And I donated for a society which named 中華民國癌病腫瘤患者扶助協會. After they received my hair, they posted my name on their FB fan page!!!!! I have circled my name below the screenshot, you guys can see it??

This is my new look!!! At first, I thought I will look odd with short hair. The outcome was so unexpected. Now I love my new hair style very much. haha. When you decided to do something good, don't afraid to do it, the outcome will be seriously unexpected!!!
