What a great saturday, despite the exhausting work week. N so i actually stressed myself too. Time to reconsider n stop myself frm being too inquisitive n curbing some freedom of speech. Today, realised that i nv ate long john silver's bfast before! To think i was still laughing at my fren who nv eat delifrance before the other day. Not too late to dawn upon me that i cannot luff at pple. Actually i wasnt mocking at all. Jus amazed. I jus show too much of my emotions, too elaborated. It was like the the amazement is amplified n pple wonder why. So amazing meh?
N i finally tried my hammock. Sugoi. It is really a super shiok feeling. Gg thru the process of reaching the shiokness. Thanks to my dear fren who got it for me. Started with hunting for trees that are nicely spaced apart. The first pair was too far away tho. The second pair of trees n i got it. Not too bad huh, my estimation. Next tried tying. While cycling here, i was alr digging into my memories on how i tied the rope obstacles during sch days. Clove hitches and 2 upward half hitches. Not entirely certain. Forgot most of these rope tying stuff alr. Aiya jus try later, enuff of thinking thru it, waste of brain power. sometimes gg thru in the mind first enables me to deal with it better and faster later. But really doesnt apply everytime. Pressing it down hard , wonder if the tree bark n the nylon knot can take my weight. Need to burn the ends to prevent fraying tho. Damn, forgot abt it. Then i sat on it with 2 legs on one side, gently, still keeping most of the weight on the toes. Looking left and right at the knots, asking them in my head if they r ok before i sat back more. Looks good. Lifting one leg over the side, chk the knots again. Then finally slip my feet out of my slippers and lie back. Last chk on the knot behind and in front of me. Ahhhhhh. Wonderful. Chked the distance from the grd, well, even if it doesnt hold my weight, jus a little hit on the ground. Safe.
The casuarina foliage above shading me from most of the sunlight. Some rays got thru but not warm. I am lucky with the cloudy skies too. Cooling. The waves splashing onto the entire stretch of beach creates the surround sound effect still. The water glistening in the sunlight n now with my transition lens, the blinding effect is minimised. The ground is littered with the little fruits n brown leaf strands n the grains of white sand. Not yellow. I always think that the composition of the grd under the casuarina trees is different. But could be an illusion cos of the fallen "leaves" n fruits. The leaves are really jus strands. With the hammock being the netted type, my back felt cooled as the sea breeze blows. Such great feeling. My bike looks like it is having a good rest in the shade too.
Definitely dolce far niente. The italian quote used in EPL(which i seriously dont mean english premier league. Sigh). The italian quote means carefree idleness, the sweetness of doing nothing. What the italian enjoy unlike the americans, that's what the book advocates. Really i can stay here all day. With the slight oscillation everytime i fidget can make me doze off in the gentle breeze n sound of waves.
Where would u epl? Italy, india and bali is for the author. He says sg, nepal n sg. Urgh. Where do u like sg so much? I would choose japan, england and norway. Done the first 2, not the last. C'mon some novelty. Where would u cycle, stroll and stone? I would say australia (more of mountain biking tho), switzerland and ... Hmm anywhere! Prolly sg would fit in here then.
What's ur word. He says gullible!!! Oh my!! Since when?! Refused it, new word. I say defiant. Ok agreed. His word would be slowcoach? rubbish? Adaptable. No! Ok finally agreed with pragmatic. Mindless quibbling. But jus for the fun of it. Pulling the plug there then.
