Back onto the trails again on my rest day today. Wore my new watch on the ride too. Timed my 2 laps, and man the lap times that I post now are hogsh*t~! But I'm just so pleased to get my fix of mud and oil on my legs, sweat and mud in my eyes, warm sunshine on my skin, clean fresh air and smell of plants and fruits and flowers in my nostrils, out in the green wilderness scaring the nuts off monitor lizards and squirrels... =D
Haven't spent time outside, basking in the sun for quite some while... Had a break during work today, and there's no one having the same break-time as me, so I just got a cup of milk tea and sat outside Ngee Ann City, watching people, watching pigeons, watching the sky, breathing real air and basking in real sunlight, thinking about yet some more stuff... I really don't feel that at home with that a bit too many foreign talent (aka maids) around the place, especially on Sundays... Looking forward to tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow... So much I want to do =)
When I'm dry, I hate to think about getting out in the rain and getting wet. But when I'm already out and getting wet, I really enjoy it. I love the feel of fine raindrops on my hair, my face, my skin. I love the smell of rain and wet grass and mud. I love the cool chill. I love the beautiful reflections and shadows on the wet ground and grass and puddles. Then, because I'm enjoying everything, I started to hum and sing... =D
Back from 5 days of 'green-ery'... Actually feeling better rested now than before starting ICT~! Apart from the boredom when there's nothing to do, I've actually enjoyed the 5 days... All the rubbish when men in green come together... The first 3 days I was still feeling the fatigue from work, only after that can I get back my groove but heh heh still there's much time to 'rest and relax' in between... Have to be honest that it was very nice to meet all those guys again, especially those that I've not seen since ORD 2+ years ago, to crap, to talk, to play... It's also a stop check for me, to know that time have moved on, to think back about my life in the last 2+ years, those goals that I've set and what lil' I've achieved, to know what my fellow peers and friends have done, to see what I've done to myself both bad and lil' good, to wake myself up and kick meself in the backside and get going marching on forwards again... ~left-right-left-right-left-right-left~!
Had time to float around a shopping center this morning, probably the first such time this month... off day again yeah~! Woke up early with only 3 hours of sleep, for store meeting this morning, before going about getting ready to book in for reservist training tomorrow... went to CCK to prep my hair, then while floating around Lot1, saw CityChain having 50% sale on Adidas watches, and so I ended up with one of these...~ =p
Long time since these stuff saw the light of day having being packed up on top of the cupboard for the past couple of years... Stinks to miss the Fish & Co D&D tomorrow...
Tired, hungry, pissed, blurred... Decided to treat myself properly after work tonight~! Firstly I took my bike out for a spin. Spinning to the prata shop. Two egg pratas and a teh halia. Finally, at the end of the day, I felt happy. *=) ~只要准备好明天的微笑...~
Fishy people after work late at night... What's with the sky? Waiting for the Birdie...
Treated myself to wanton mee after work today. My first wanton mee in the past one month. For that few minutes that it existed on my plate, life seems so heavenly. Until it disappeared, and the dog-eats-dog, cat-fights-cat, cat-scratches-dog, dog-kills-cat, dog-wags-tail-and-gets-away-with-murder reality world sets back in... Until the next after-work supper session tomorrow night... I will survive~ But firstly I need to sleep... 只要准备好明天的微笑~
I treat myself to midnight supper after every workday... Tonight it's McDonald's' double cheeseburger. But I'm feeling a little superstitious lately, so I'm not taking this beef burger home to eat in case of offending the resident deity at home. I sank the anchors on my butt on the park bench near my block, to eat under the full moon, stars and cool midnight breeze, with the music of rustling leaves, chirping geckos and serenading crickets. Because of work, I missed out on so many opportunities to meet up with many friends. Because of work, I missed out on doing stuff that I had planned to do. Because of work, I had not eaten anything other than staff meal at Fish & Co. (not always fish & chips ah! We eat rice and chicken~) and the rare McBurger and Old ChangKee currypuff (just meters away from our F & C door~) and instant noodles and bread from home... I miss my pratas. I miss my ba chor mee. I miss chicken rice. I miss....
I take the last bus home. Almost every working night. But I kind of enjoy it. An hour of serenity, watching the world outside the window, flowing empty roads, cool air-con, listening to my music. Realised, I must look very ugly when sleeping on the bus. Realised, I liked bus rides. Realised, I like to blast my favourite songs when I'm pissed. Realised, I've lost my smile, my groove, lately. 有时候走过一段路, 心才会清澈也才会看到... 只要准备好明天的微笑... (静茹's 明天的微笑)
