summer holiday

spending friday night ziploc-ing ALL liquid items, packing bag into bag into bag... it's just summer and i've already got so much to pack!! really looking forward to running away.

1442

sometimes when i close my eyes i feel like i can go a long way. unlike life. i ran 14 rounds tonight. new found relieve. next week this time, i'll be somewhere far away in search of lost time. not really looking for a particular something but more like examining a certain surge of emotion. i hope by doing that i'll discover something new about myself.

i dreamt of my first watch last night. i wonder what that means.

great company

My last run was dated 10 years ago - that compulsory 2.4km during graduating year. Two great things about entering art school after sec 4: 1) no more uniforms 2) no more running. I HATE RUNNING.

Last night, my inspiring colleagues got my spirits up and we headed for the stadium. I LOVE MY COLLEAGUES. They are always there for me. (That includes Joey who went to do Brazilian waxing with me last week! OOOoooo!)

Okay i survived! Ran 36mins (4km) and walked 24mins (2.4km).

I'm beginning to see running from a very different perspective as before. Maybe because I had Nodame Cantabile Orchestra playing from ear to ear. The entire journey felt more passionate and less strenuous. I had my eyes closed during some parts of the run, imagining that I'm conducting Rachmaninov's piano concerto no. 2. They said I ran strangely with my hands swinging everywhere hahahaa but I knew I wasn't running, I was Stresemann in the making! wahwawawhhhaa. I like the stadium, especially the floodlights. I understood why Hitler loved them so much.

Okay I'm gonna train up for my next travel destination!

subtracting the blues away

first attempt in removing the blues from my life...
i wonder if that'll make me a happier person?

In Search of Lost Time

My boss passed me this issue of MUSE the other day and I found something that i'm looking for. Well, almost. I really love this first paragraph leading to Ron Arad's interview. >>>>>> "If you want the future to come, you have to be willing to make sacrifices", that is, to give up something, very often something dear, leaving it behind and saying goodbye. London based architect and designer Ron Arad has said goodbye many a time... <<<<<<

That evening I got my nails painted in 5 different colors. My mind needed some happy colors to act like stimulants.




I'm thinking of Proust again.

If a little dreaming is dangerous,
the cure for it is not to dream less
but to dream more,
to dream all the time.
......
Happiness is beneficial for the body,
but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind
