without love we perish

Saturday, June 3

Sunny Saturday by Jensen

Woke up today morning and found out,
I was pangseh-ed by my dad,
who said today will be the day
we go Best Denki for PC-shopping.
Old man actually disappeared on me.

Breakfast and papers like any other day,
then to 'Be My Enemy' which was kinda slow.
Had to take many breaks from reading,
and fell asleep due to previous night's solitaire challenges.

Woke up today afternoon and ate lunch,
forced myself on the book again and was
relieved that the pace picked up a bit with a little surprise
that glued me to it.
So taken by its smart plot devices and satirical humour.

I looked outta the window and saw the sun ablaze,
so I bathed myself in tanning oil and went out
for my long overdue run which has been delayed
continuously by a niggling muscle strain to my right hip flexor.

2.4km later and the little muscle starts to niggle,
an indication of a return that should have been put back a little further.
I walked to Lower Pierce Reservoir and did my usual thing,
sit on a bench and soak in the sun.

As I was walking across the playground preparing to leave the park,
a boy needed some help on the miniature flying fox
because his mum was too busy reading and ignored him.
So I offered my help and tried lifting him to the handle,
but guess he thought best not to accept a half-naked man's assistance.
(At least he didn't scream)

A slow walk back home as usual,and saw many Gurkhas
running like a locomotive,their stride
something I will never attain but will strive towards.
And as dusk approaches I see the sky painted in
pink peach navy red orange cyan.

Looked outta the window and saw the stars,
shining subtlely along with small fluffy clouds
floating along the horizon.
The night is beauty,the day is splendor.
A Saturday.
