Few days back, I wrote, on my Instagram story that sometimes your job is like a romantic relationship. The opposite is also true. Ending one gives you a bit of a heart wrenching beat. Two good people, sharing almost similar value (somewhat) but now at the brink of leaving each other, perhaps just for the better. But why so..?

Well, time certainly flies. I've graduated from university and am facing a different phase in life, now. The cliché statement that many people say about time is certainly true here. Life is moving too fast, too fast for me to be comfortable right now. Looking back at things, I can definitely say that I've matured much more than I was 4Cleo Loonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10646312592577033056noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8583882450308941844.post-45116372255711566522015-09-16T18:37:00.002-07:002015-09-19T00:17:18.220-07:00My First Full Marathon!
Well, I do have a
little something to note before I continue. I just wanted to say that I have participated in a work and travel program (WAT) to America and have decided
that I should complete my first virgin marathon over in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
I was having my 3rd year’s final exam when I decided to register and
participate in this event. It was a perfect opportunity as I have 3 months

The O.A.C members
Let me describe a little about Yong Belar if you haven't heard or know anything about it yet. Yong Belar is one of the G7 in Malaysia and is 2,181 meter (7,156 feet)
in height. She is in one of the Titiwangsa Mountain range and is
situated at the border of Kelantan and Perak. Also, this beauty here is
the highest peak in Kelantan and, she ranks 3rd highest in Malaysia.
