Finally
Cheekily the weather is super bright and sunny today.... -_-
becos of the weather, I am tempted and hence made a decision to jog today after work. And I made it!~ finally!! after jogging, I felt so refreshed! it will be nice if i can jog everyday like that... well, clementi stadium closes at 8:30pm, so I can't linger long there too....
well.... it seems tht only through jogging that my body will be forced to drink water. As you know, i hardly drink water and hardly sweat.... my system so clogged up lol.... but after 1/2 hour run, i didnt fully break into rains of sweat like other ppl.... forehead not much dripping... hmm, i didnt run enuff? i did rather slow run of 6 and abt a quarter rounds abt the track.... without stopping of cos, that is the most basic rules i set for myself.... last time used to be rather proud of my 2.4 km run.... now i think i sux terribly. Maybe not being abt to run with my fren(s) is a good thing....cos i would malu myself and make them to wait for me and/or me feeling terrible and stressed. lol.... today alot of ppl on the tracks.... hmm think i will jog again soon.
after hearing more songs etc i haf more inspirations to write more abstract stories. I haf written 2 recently and titled them 星之语 part 1 and 2. Now i will go on to the next series.
[海之语 1]
海很清澈透底, 可易见海底的珊瑚 与鱼儿.
似乎给我的感觉是多么爽快, 以为很了解它, 以为什么都知道.
但是我忘了, 忘了其实海上却可有波涛, 海浪.
所以发现其实看到的不一定是我想象的.
我再也不了解了.
我迷失了. 不知所措.
在茫茫大海之中, 似乎听到声音.
我以为听到了, 但却找不着是从何妨来.
难道.或许, 是我听错了? 而是波涛泛起的声音?
不知道了. 烦了. 伤了.
一切可能没变. 或一切仍什么都不想变, 或动.
但我依然会在它的天空上照应着它, 默默地守护它.
似乎清澈的大海啊, 是我捉摸不到你, 还是你没升出手.
但我依然会默默地保护你.
给你的关怀.爱, 会一直很安静.
可能是你听不到我的声音.
"按奈不住叫做脆弱
呐喊很久叫做沉默
承受不了叫做寂寞
我的现在不知所措"
"听海哭的声音
叹息著谁又被伤了心却还不清醒"
"他说他很爱她 他说会守护她
他送她玫瑰花 一切美得不像话
从朋友变成情人 她不再只有自己
她爱他爱得彻底 真心溢满了甜蜜
时间看清一个人 开始令人昏沉沉
他像变了一个人 太蛮横
她开始悬著疑问 不想再等他承认
不再要任何伤痕"
"给你的爱一直很安静
我从一开始就下定决心
以为自己要的是曾经
却发现爱一定要有回音
我们的爱情像你路过的风景
一直在进行脚步却从来不会为我而停"
"听不到听不到我的执着扑通扑通一直在跳
直到你有一天能够明了我做得到我做得到"
