ONE GOOD HIKE DESERVES ANOTHER

Listen: 爱是你眼里的一首情歌 by 郭美美
Mood: *Burning…*
Here I am, lazing around on a slow Monday Afternoon. It is Memorial holiday so my place is pretty much a dead town now. Morning got up early and went for my first external jog for nearly 9 months (the rest were done using pussy treadmill in the comfort of my apartment gym). I could do it in early May when the weather is beautiful and cooler but alas, I was afraid I might be killed by pollens. Yes, these bugger pollens literally float around you, especially last 2 weeks when it peak or rather the ones that are pollinating comes with bigger pollen, the ones you can SEE with your eyes. Yup, different species pollinating at different time, in case you ask. You can see them (while driving) all around you, like snowing like that. And those are the ones that I can see with my naked eyes, discounting the fact that millions more are invisible to us since beginning of spring. To further this, my colleagues were down quite badly with pollens-inspired allergies (including my boss), all except me were wheezing and sneezing away. Well, bird might be short, small and weak but he has a good system (haha, whatever that means). Beside, I smoke, as the argument goes, so whatever irritants just pale in comparison. That is why I encourage smoking; heck, years ago (like last century), doctors were advocating smoking as a form of health benefits like killing some ringworms (that kind of thing, etc).
Talking about health benefits, my Army buddy Mr Elvis and GF actually has a blog that chronicle their relationship from their first date. Awww, that is so sweet. He also mentioned must read from day 1 (initially I thought he was kidding me) but then I’m glad I did (just skim through also counted right haha). It is one of the most beautiful collections of life story blog I have come across (next being the FELINE inspired kwek’s blog haha). Of course, nothing beats mine hor? Right…
Moving on, I had my first BBQ in the US after like 3 years here. The charcoals are pre-mixed with kerosene here, hence it burns very readily, so unlike back home, you don’t need fire starter (both has its pro & cons). The food are plentiful, the only problem we faced however was (everyone first time), unlike Singapore, the kerosene fumes actually got entangled with the food (like marinating in it) and so after the first round, we decided to kill the prawns (which is a pity), got rid of some wings (not my fave anyway) and satay (alas, it said it all). Then the inevitable happened later in the evening, it rains. Of all days, it has to rain today. It was really hot for the past weeks, no rains nothing. Lucky for us, we were nearly done. So simply pack up and go indoors; isn’t it great to have a townhouse?
One interesting phenomenon; after the rain (like 30 min), the temperature nosedive from 33 to only 19, a 14 degree drop (nearly 50%)! Cow, that is drastic but cooler weathers are always welcome.
Hurt my wrist a bit while practising my swing on Saturday.
Ah, with that kind of statement, you would know thatI have nothing to cow peh about liao… Enjoy the Song… I bought her album just for this song you know, never mind after that I got her personally autographed copy. Hee, 郭美美, You go girl!
爱是你眼里的一首情歌 by 郭美美
总是不经意地想起, 你喜欢哼的那首歌曲
一样温柔的音, 依旧牵动我的心
我曾寻寻觅觅, 想在文字里寻找爱情
才发现最美的诗句, 原来都在你眸里
爱是你眼里的一首情歌, 轻洋着飘逸旋律
让我不知不觉地陶醉在, 你缠绕的深情
爱是你眼里的一首情歌, 轻拨动我的心弦
让我不由自主地深爱着你
