Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies

After a big breakfast at TCS today, and a heavy downpour all the way from Changi till somewhere nearer the North, I really didn’t feel like gymming. I was also in two minds as to which gym I should use, given that my more expensive membership was underused. But I’m glad I decided to go for my usual BC class, even though it was a cover instructor today. There was quite a full class, but for the usual instructor it seems that that room can accommodate twice the number of people it did today. The air was actually much colder today, as compared to the usual class whereby the aircon always seems faulty. There were only a few shouters in class today, so I managed to get lost in the tracks rather than lost in the noise. Don’t get me wrong, I think the electric Sunday atmosphere is very special and I can’t wait for the 20th when things get back to normal. But once in a while an ordinary class is necessary to enjoy the intrinsic loveliness of BC!

another fave bc song!

I watched the most recent Twilight release over the weekend. It was described by critics as slow and joyless, but I actually enjoyed it quite abit. Guess I’m a fan, and Twilight is a movie you don’t judge based on its critiques.

“Ice-cream sandwich” and “ginger bread” are terms being used to describe phones?? I really hate that such delicious words are being used to describe what is essentially lifeless and cold (okay, an ice-cream is also lifeless and cold”. But when i see “ice-cream sandwich” I instantly think of a certain kind of ice-cream shaped like a cookie and which I can no longer find nowadays. )

Sometimes all we need to do is to look around to realise how lucky we are. I think today the universe has been trying to tell me something. It started when I was listening to the radio in the morning, frustrated by my shoe bag slipping off my lap as I snoozed on the bus. Frustrated that my “smart” phone was in fact, quite stupid. FD on the radio said something about how he knows there are a lot of people better off than him, but also a lot of people worse of than him. He uses this as a way to stop feeling upset about circumstances.

The next message came as I was walking in one of those crowded mrt underpasses on my way to the gym. Wanting to go to the gym, but not looking forward to bringing home work and enduring the gym’s smelly toilets.

Then I saw this girl who had a severe case of imbalance in the length of her legs. I mean, sometimes people wear stacked shoes on one side and they’re able to walk properly, but this girl really had it bad. Her legs were crooked as well so when she walked, she swayed. But what was amazing about her was that she had a smile on her face. It must take so much courage to wake up each morning, brave the cbd crowds and then go home each day knowing that 99% of the people you meet on the way, who seem so wrapped up in their problems and are showing the blackest of faces, do not have the one worry that you have. This girl wasn’t trudging home like the rest of the crowd was, she was striding. I can’t say I will henceforth remember to appreciate all I have, but I am indeed belittled by the positivity and strength that she demonstrated.
