Blue petals

took a break from my usual jogging routine.. as i hit the lagoon on the return leg.. i decided to pause for a moment at the water front and take in the sea breeze.. the sky was a welcoming orangey glow and nat king cole's little ditty about wham, bam, alakazaam came into my mind.. lifting my spirits up a little.. i was standing there in awe of the beautiful sight presenting itself right in front of my eyes.. suddenly the noise of a bunch of rowdy kids making a nuisance of themselves doesnt seem to bother me very much anymore.. i close my eyes and took a deep breath.. something i have not done for a really really long time.. just take the time out to realise how little we all are in the grand scheme of things.. looking at how vast the oceans (in this case.. the sea) is and how wide the edges of the skies are cast always knock some sense into me.. telling me how insignificant all of us are.. we are but here for a good part of 70 years and this natural wonder will still be here even when we are gone..

the beach has always had a nice calming effect on me.. weird considering the fact tat i am not a good swimmer and can never really appreciate water sports.. i mean.. look at how butchy the female swimmers are~!! i love the serenity tat the crashing of waves against the shoreline gives me.. i remember lying flat down on the sand and looking up at the great big sky hanging over our heads.. i will stretch out my arms and imagine myself falling towards the sky.. defying gravity.. and the funny thing was.. whenever i imagined tat.. i cant picture myself ever stopping... tat is how vast the universe is and how very very tiny we all are.. i look up at the stars and try to recall the constellations.. something that i am never good at cos i can never really be bothered trying to memorise them.. i try to picture some other beings in a planet far away tat might be doin the exact same thing i am doin now.. and we are in the line of sight of each other! how cool is tat?

all these while in the perspective of this tiny little red dot in a rough neighbourhood tat outsiders call south east asia.. imagine the limitless boundary-less viewpoints and mindsets of great men who grow up in a land so vast tat they do not lament the existence of wishers and thinkers who do not contribute to a national cause.. tough luck i'm in one tat does not encourage individuality.. one tat does not look beyond free-spiritedness unless its the catalyst for the next entrepreneurial mind.. a trip out of the country would be good.. a prolonged one better.. a permanent one best.. ah.. my siblings DO know wat they're doing~!!
