Sometimes do u feel distracted and out of character, no wind in ur sails, all stagnant in the still air? this happens to be the time when u find yourself in a bubble, shutting out the rest of the surrounding and u discover silence and placidity, probably virtually. Then when u look at the watch, the hour hand has moved over quite a distance.
The simple power of kindness and comprehension from the pple ard u indeed dilutes the harshness of the environment, which forces u to go with the flow of life. And then u asked what's life?
Recently, have been having vocabulary crisis. The basic japanese and even english and mandarin, somehow loss of words. No words could convey the meaning of my thots accurately. And then when i squeeze some random ones out after an uncomfortable pause, i instantly question if i have used the words correctly. Felt checkmate. Handicap. Urgh, i need more practise. Have suspected that my brain isnt working too well lately. Cant keep up with my own expectation. What is going on? Is my brain deteriorating? I reminded myself to slow down and to avoid multitasking as well as memorising. To offload these info, i created chklists. Dear brain, stay strong and sane.
Not worrying, would be unnecessary. Jus hope that i can manage the thots and actions better. Then that would life enjoyment with control instead of being all messed up.
The gorgeous horizon with the vast sky and sea are a feast to the eyes. The clouds with the reflected sunlight create the most beautiful thing u would see on earth. I sat there and wonder why this can be formed, a visual therapy. Finally tried the starcruise, virgo to phuket and langkawi for 3 nights. exploring the ship, having no plans for the next activity and no time constraint at all is a luxurious feeling. I was really trying to get bored so that i will cherish the bustling city life more, instead of taking it for granted and detesting it all the time. Was hoping to develop boredom with doing nothing.
It started raining on one of the nights till the morning. The sea was choppy. Couldnt even walk straight along the claustrophobic corridor with the cabins lined along both sides. We had to take the ginger pills to prevent getting sea sick. They r prevention not cure, thus after the china trip, i am really not keen to endure till i kenna giddy spells, it would feel horrible. I watched the dark grey water as the big ship sailed. The water surface was "ripplified". Is there such a word? The waves arent obvious until my window passed them. U will see the trough, a depression on the water surface, surprisingly deep, like a big fruit bowl. Then u realise the waves are quite high. the top part of the wave came crashing down onto the sides of the ship. As the pointy part of the hull cuts through the waves, white masses formed against the grey. They look like thick liquid, with many layers, flowing away from the ship, whitening the grey rippled water. Then there are many stubborn white droplets that refuse to flow with the rest, jumping high up to my window before joining the rest. We bobbled on such powerful liquid mass for a while, i dont recall how long ive stayed in that state admiring nature.
When the sea is calmer, i read. One of the few times when i managed to read alot more pages than those before bedtime. We went to the restaurants to fill our stomachs, most pple chat. They jus chill in the uber cold restaurants, we will take the non aircon seats as much as possible. They chill by the pool too, in cafes etc. The draft was unbearable. Brrrrr.....why is the temp so low? It is amazing at how these 4 days pass by so quickly. Time really jus ... is there a word faster than flies?
And now the lucky winner of the trip sponsored by st and samsung would be happily seated in the vip box for the barcelona vs real madrid match before returning to sg tmr. He still has to blog for them, i wonder how are they gg to do it. Thats where the difference is betw writing leisuring for ur own records vs writing for submission. He is supposed to blog using the samsung gear and note3. Honestly can give up on the gear, too small screen. Hope he is enjoying his time there! Pls dont go zara shopping. Shld help to retrieve my lost photos from the incomplete church and the colourful hilltop with works of gaudi. Can no longer rmb the spanish names of the places.
