Walking at the seaside with one ear listening to the most beautiful sound that goes well with
the cold breeze and the soft crashing of waves...

Can i just say i love heights! I enjoy looking at vast horizons and the interchanging mood of the skies.

The air feels nice during cold weather (i just hope it won't rain too much).

breaking the speed of sound

Insane, amazing, and brave!

14th of October - Austrian Felix Baumgartner set new records for the highest freefall jump,
the fastest freefall speed, and the highest balloon flight by a human. 

"When I was standing there on top of the world, you become so humble,
you do not think about breaking records anymore, you do not think about gaining scientific data.
The only thing you want is to come back alive."

(Read more from article)

Patiently waiting for the freefall, watching something like this on a live feed is terrifying and exciting
at the same time. I feel an indescribable desire to fly, too. :)

Speaking of "sound" , here's another awesome video, not a 128,000ft supersonic skydive
but gives me another kind of high vibe. Love listening to it. This guy is also amazing.

running might be the answer to some girl issues

 {Sembawang sunset}

I have never been so badly conscious about my body built, until now. I've gained weight many years ago (due to stress eating hahah) and i didn't mind. When i have shrunk back to my thin self after moving to a new job, i started to realize that it made me look teeny. No matter what i eat i don't gain weight. There are days that i stood at the weighing scale wondering what have gone wrong, am i cooking the right food, am i not stacking enough. I want to have woman curves, girls, if you know what i mean, right? I am twenty-six but i still get mistaken as twenty-lower due to my body built.

I tried googling and my curiosity landed me on pages with thorough instructions on how to make hips bigger. Just looking at all those procedures makes me want to dive to bed and sleep. I am lazy when it comes to exercising. Then a friend of mine suggested running. Obviously, i will not gain weight, but i can tone up my body and fill-up to some curves. So far, the effort of running around Canberra for thirty to forty-five minutes (3 to 4 kilometers) has been worth it. My hips and legs are getting bigger. I'm shaping up. :)

Ps. Winna, you'll be so proud of me, i finally moved my limbs from deep slumber for some sexy :P

ten seconds

I got ten seconds to cross or i'm dead.

Countdowns always remind me of moments in life worth savoring. Perhaps happiness and sense of calmness are recognizing that we are never stuck. We grow and evolve, and we have the whole world changing, but maybe if we believe that every part of the process can be beautiful and unique, these chances feel like something we need to savor while it lasts regardless of where it takes us. 

My lone walks will always be accompanied by deep thoughts of where i will go next. I guess at the end of all of this, i'm craving for home. Where? I still do not know. I'm about to find out every other ten seconds of days that will go by.

 This pair of chirping birds remind me of some lines from a nice book i have read not so long ago:

"We sense each other. The world, right now, is only us. We continue to sing along. And we sing with the same abandon not worrying too much if our voices hit the right notes or the right words. We look at each other while we're singing; these aren't solos, this is a duet that isn't taking itself at all seriously. It is its own form of conversation -- you can learn a lot about people from the stories they tell, but you can also know them from the way they sing along, whether they like the windows up or down, if they live by the map or by the world, if they feel the pull of the ocean..."

Woodlands Station, North South Route

 Block 526 is always this quiet every morning.

Morning walks while listening to music.

Today i was listening and humming to this track ~ slowly walking, gazing at the skies

and pondering about a lot of things.

In the apartment.

Some domestic moments and my companions...

Serene days like this make me wonder about some thoughts, which have been crossing my mind lately, some art which I wanted to do, future plans of where to go, and this strange but happy emotion that I am feeling right now. I can't decipher what is it yet, but it's an amusing tiny thing growing day by day. It is an unexplainable glow that makes my insides warm after the long cold season. Icy no more. It makes me scared though. Nevertheless, i am ready to jump across the sea if it calls. Even if i don't know how to swim.

Talking riddles, mumbling gibberish. I guess i am hungry. Migraine go away.

The easy way to travel is to look up to the sky ~ seeing clouds chasing each other, seeing stars blinking even they are stone and gas up in the space. Where everything looks so far away but reachable by your finger tips. Seeing other airplanes flying, ships cruising and birds flapping their wings.

Must love skies, continental views and plane window seats. I couldn't resist taking photos. :)

With all the confusion over train routes. Train photo grab from Bal's fb album.
