where's the superb?

a few minutes ago i was looking at a comment who mentioned superb and i clicked to publish. then i tried to look it up to see which post was the comment on. and somehow, it's lost. -_- i have no idea where is it now. maybe i clicked delete instead of approve.

anyway, did some swimming yesterday evening. was feeling rather bored, and thought that i should start to do some productive things in this long vacation. a quick change, a fast stretch, and i got tired within 10 laps. tried pushing on to 20, and it suddenly got smoother and more enjoying. breath started to regulate better, eventually my goal of 20 went to 30, and then finally 50. nice. although i must said, my ability to hold my breath underwater has degraded. i used to be able to go about 3/4 of the pool, which is around 37m. now i'm stuck at 25m, just halfway through.

the body didn't really ache after the 50 laps until i start to get home. interesting.

been reading up on the book super freakonomics. i still remembered when i read the first book, freakonomics, and i told her some of the stuffs in the book that i found interesting. she was rather skeptical about all the information that was derived from the statistics, implying that it was bogus. nahz, what does she knows? haha.. she may be able to do statistics, but statistics alone without the skill of getting inference from it is still lacking in substance in the science world.

oh right, i tried swimming 10 laps without my goggles on becuz after it got kinda loose after so many years and one lap is enough to get enough water in the goggles to 'mistify' it. this, was a very bad choice. my eyes hurt like hell due to the chlorinated water and my vision is a bit 'mistified' also. looks hazy wherever i go. haha.. interesting, and painful.

the swimming was pleasurable, but lying down in the pool, with the head looking up in the evening sky is the best. i'm not near the beach, this is a good substitute for it. my life isn't on the fast lane, but so those travelling at high speed in their worlds, slowing down or even stopping once in a while to see something that you've hardly noticed before, can be quite refreshing. for me, it's more of relaxing, looking at the cloudy sky, wondering when my next story in life will arrive. i'm a waiter actually, i wait for things to happen.

been visiting east coast park too much nowadays in the wee hours due to supper. somehow, we just travelled to the east. it was rather windy last night when we went at around 2+. little crowd, mostly couples enjoying the scenary and some privacy. one of them was rather intruded by the 5 of us, but continued their kissing despite our presence and talking. after i heard their kissing noise, i wondered whether the noise is made becuz of the kissing taking place, or kissing can be done without it. rather ashamed to say, even though i've kissed before, i actually forgot the answer to it. but i remembered she complained my kissing wasn't good. haha... this kind of crap i remembered.

saw some bapoks at changi. they looked really well-dressed and attractive. but still... not female.

~life has no meaning. until we start to find it.
