This is my second post of the day. Opps...I m getting addicted to blogging.
The blue sky just looked so calming, so full of serenity and the cool air is just so refreshingly inviting... coupled with the bright sun, well okay, I don't really like sun too much but it's nothing as long as I have my trusty sunblock! Lols. It just makes me wanna get up, get out and go jogging, which i did.
A few raindrops that pelted on my skin trickled down my arms as I made my way against the cool gushing wind. There was nobody on the road, just me; alone. I continued running, running and running. The sensation is just great, I feel just like a bird, just so carefree. There is no one stopping me, no one to obstruct my way, just me alone. I had only one goal- to finsh this run without stopping.
Not far away, I sighted a familar provision shop. Memories just kept flooding in. Flashes of my childhood flickers in my mind. My Paddapop icecream, that friendly uncle, that old telephone... It's been some time since I have visited this old childhood memory of mine.
I know I have to listen to my heart. I know I have to stop and take a look.
I slowered my pace to a jog and headed inside with great curiosity. Nothing changed at all. It is still the same small, cosy family shop at the junction of a road. The shop is still as messy and run down but the uncle is still as friendly and amiable, it still sells my favourite ice-cream, it still carries many products that aren't available anywhere else already. Eventually, I left the shop feeling contented, with my Padapop on my left hand and a packet of old-school circular bisuits on the other, just to reminisce myself of my childhood.
As I ambled my way back home, I feel as if life is full of surprises. I would never expect this small jog that would bring me bring so many memories of the past.
Through I have not acheived my goal, it seems like I have made an unexpected discovery. Probably, this is like the path to success. We could be fearless and anxious at first to complete our race. But sometimes, maybe a small break could give you unexpected outcomes, just like this one.
