It's been a week. Two. Three.
Three weeks of being in the open sea...sharing space. Taking trains and buses. Standing like packed sardines after sunset to get home. I love bus rides. Used to have lots of 'em during my secondary school days...which are, long winding ones...and they are great. These days it's more of getting from here..to there. Maybe bcos it's you and your destination. How can you speak to your destination. You can't.
Though it's cool. If i'm not rushing things in the studio (if am i'd probably leave in the wee hours), i'd have AE for company up to city hall, sumtimes mr.bond up to jurong east. And AE, your lame jokes are gonna kill me some day.
The bikeshop is giving me a tremendous blow of frustrations. It's been three months and i've not seen my new ride. A fellow from the forum told me what's new...it has always been and forever be...everything gd evrything okay...but once signed...everything out the window. Well, i have made an ultimatum with myself anyway. it's gonna be the last ride...so might as well practise some patience and have everything done nice and good. I loves bikes. Grew up around dad who rides (scooter vintage to the max), uncle who owns the famous ducati, know of grandpa owning a ducati and triumph in his younger days but was riding some normal bike when i first knew him as grandpa. It's one of my childhood marvels. That was why when i was introduced to things like biker gangs and such, i didn't embrace them. It has always been about the bikes and the bikes alone. It's about a man and his machine. Hahah. Being said that, well u gotta have a life plan at some point, so looking forward to my last ride. Gonna take care of it like a charm.
In the morning train rides to the studio, i've been reading the book i mentioned before gave by eCar. Like The Flowing River by Paulo Coelho. It's a series of short stories or shud i say, thoughts. It's like having to listen to someone who's talking. Not bad...it kinda spur you to think as he presents his reflections and perceptions of the thing he talks about. And Fan, if you're reading this, this quote is for you bro, think it shud reflects your so-called "idiocracy" well. It's just fine to be yourself:
"A warrior of light, once he has done his duty and transformed his intention into gesture, need fear nothing else: he has done what he should have done. He did not allow himself to be paralysed by fear. Even if the arrow failed to hit the target, he will have another opportunity, because he did not give in to cowardice."
Interesting this book. Ally at the studio called it my mountain book...where i had told her before i read this short writing about climbing a mountain. Paulo mentioned it's good to keep in mind of your objective - reaching the top. However, as you climb, the view changes and there is nothing wrong with stopping and enjoying the view. With each metre climbed, you'll see a little further, so take time to discover things you have never noticed before...and back on your way up. So i told her how i translate that to my dieting. Haha. I said it's okay to enjoy the luxury of food sumtimes if you feel like it, and be back on the diet later. Yeah...that's my REFLECTION! haha.
Okay on a last note, life's been great these months but in moments like now, those who sense my absence...it's just the crunch time. I gotta rush out alot of stuff in the studio. Once the hurdle pass, shud have more play time. Okay peeps...stay happy always`
