Yesterday morning, my church had an outreach event at Bukit Timah Hill. This was my first "physical exertion" since I gave birth. Due to a tough pregnancy, I hadn't been keeping to my exercise routine for nearly a year. And you know what? I was so out of shape! Granted, I have never been good at anti-gravitational activities which explains why I hate climbing stairs, dislike running uphill and have never gone for a hike in my life. I'll rather walk a longer route to cross the traffic lights than taking the overhead bridge any day!
Anyways, I was panting terribly and got dizzy at certain points while climbing the seemingly never-ending stairs up and down the hill. I had to rest many times which meant that Joshua and I had to let the rest of our group go ahead of us. This was absolute "malu-ation" as the older members of the group were doing so much better than I did! Thank God we didn't bring Joash along or else we would have a 7kg load to grapple with! *faint*
This is also the first time I felt so useless during an outreach event cos I could hardly talk to any of the newcomers! I just knew that there is a very good reason why God placed me in the Performing Arts Ministry instead of the Sports and Adventure Ministry when I was in SYFC...
Looks like I'll stick to running AROUND hills instead of climbing them. I am so swearing off hiking from now on!
