...well spent...

suddenly i have the urge to exercise regularly. everyone wants to be in the pink of health right? that's why i decided to go SWIMMING today. yeah!!! it was my first time swimming alone. i never like the idea of swimming alone because at least there will be someone i know to save me if anything happens to me in the pool. i am quite afraid of depth and water because i was nearly drowned in the sea once when i was 4-years-old. terrible experience... in fact, it is great to swim alone if you just want to swim and swim non-stop. i realised that when one goes on swimming trips with friends or family, they will tend to stop and rest and chit chat after swimming across the pool. but it will not be the case if you go swimming alone. don't you think that you look stupid, lying against the tiles of the swimming pool and looking at other people swim. well, at least i think it is. so, i just kept swimming and swimming for like an hour plus. occassionally, i would stop and catch my breath after swimming to the other side of the pool. swimming has always been my favourite sport. i guess it is because i don't sweat and feel sticky all over after a swim. maybe it has something to do with my horoscope since i am the water bearer. hahaz...


i have been doing alot of reading during the holidays. some of which are fiction books on romance, marriage, thriller, fantasy and also magazines. my all-time favourite during the holidays has to be the Da Vinci code. that book rocks... i fully understand why so many people is captivated by the story. the brilliant plot, the relationships among the characters, and many many more. basically it is the suspense and thrill that kept me reading the book the whole day.


the most recent book that i am hooked on is 'man and boy' by tony parsons. it is about this guy, harry sliver, has everything in the world. he has a beautiful wife, a cute little boy, a wonderful job as a producer but his whole life took a change when he had a one night stand. it starts to make me think why is it that most of the friction books write about the male betraying the female's trust by messing around outside but it is seldom the case for the female to mess around outside. this book is very thought provoking. it makes me ponder what is my life all about? in the book, harry thought his entire life was all about working and working when he still had the happy family. but his opinion changed when he had to look after the boy, pat all by himself. his life evolved around pat. he was his everything. how about mine? is it allabout getting good results and be a good student in school and good daughter at home?


to me, the most important theme is to cherish, love and treasure. why is it that one will start to cherish and treasure things when one is going to lost them forever? maybe i should learn to stop taking everything for granted. most of us are still looking for that perfect love but how many of us truly understand the essence of love?

"love means knowing when to let go" as quoted from 'man and boy'
