There’s something beautiful in trying out new things all by YOURSELF, making mistakes and learning from it.
You gain experience both negatively and positively. And the moral support without being judged from our loved ones are merely important.
I registered myself in a running event. A kind of fun walk. It’s been a long gap since I joined into those runs or walks during my school days only. So it’s like almost 5 years of not participating in those events.
I tried to convince my parents and brother to join me before register but it seems that they don’t show interest. I need to consider their willingness too. So it’s okay. And the good thing is they don’t stop me from going by myself.
So I went there. And there were few things to consider and few things to make it as memories. And definitely I met the pros and cons.
The pros were…
I felt the courage which I gave to myself to do new things. I was literally self-motivated. There’s an urge in myself to do more of this things. I witness the beautiful sunrise of the day when I was jogging. I smiled more to strangers. And especially to those kind hearted people around me. Read the cons to know more about it.
The cons were…. (a long story)
My car tyre were hit into a pothole on a bumpy field when I was looking for parking.
Honestly, it wasn’t because of my carelessness but it was because of I didn’t realise at all the pothole there. The pothole was covered nicely with bushes and it was really unnoticeable.
Anyone whom used that way would have hit into it but it seems that I was unlucky that day.
There were three women whom also participating in the run just got down from their car and helped me.
I tried to raise the oil to drive backward and forward but it just simply never worked out.
Then there were two Malay men whom came with their family whom also participating just got down from their car. I approached them to help me. They tried at first but it seems difficult for them. Then came another two Malay men. So all four of them tried their very best to push and bring out my car from the pothole. Then those men put some stones and some small tree branches and plastics at the pothole to make other drivers aware. Those acts were salutable.
Without all of them I never knew what would have happened that time.
And the consequences from the incident is that tyre was flat. Those men informed me about that and also offered to help but the run already started.
I have no other choice then to park the car and walk to the field.
Those favours from the goodhearted people whom helped me early in the morning that day are truly appreciated. Especially those men, you people are too friendly and thank you.
Then after the run, I called my dad to come over to change the tyre. I prepared all the equipments he needs before he come. Then Appa and thambi came and changed it. And I’m back to home safely. I think I got to learn some ways to manage this kind of emergency.
I lost my lucky draw number and it’s a lesson learned for me.
Always be careful with each and everything directly and indirectly. Be aware of the surrounding.
I tried out new things and I made mistakes too. I’m grateful for both positive and negative part from this experience.
