悠長に走り

mi dogs were totally pooped .. so slowed down and walked abit today instead of the usual jogging pace. body still needs more time to condition even though mi already trying to take it slow and easy. gotta have patience mi guess .. have to think long term instead of sweating for the short term gains. history has taught mi that it doesn't work. hah.

that's all there is .. blogging about work isn't really an exciting prospect. and to think most of the available time each day is spent at work ... reminds mi of a phrase mi overheard someone say during lunch sometime ago: we work hard to sustain life. but those who work hard, don't have much life.

gd'nite folks

久しぶり

originally, the heading was going to be "windstruck" or something like that .. cos that's probably how mi would remember the past few days at work .. either standing at a remote bay and watching engineers & techs working on an aircraft engine, or standing at a remote part of the airport watching planes take off and land and all the while strong winds were buffeting mi all around. never would have imagined places with strong winds existed in our little country .. felt really refreshing to just stand n stare n feel the wind all around mi ... shiok

been awhile, hence the title. why? probably cos of changes, both within & without. more of within mi suppose .. the spirit within feeling somewhat invigorated. effects of too much standing in the wind ... or just the feeling of walking around in the airport in the morning, breathing in the fresh air, seeing the wide expanse, the long runways, planes taking off and landing .. and all of the sudden, the spirit just takes off, spreading wider and wider .. the sense of freedom and wanderlust returning


like the first breath of spring
that melts the wynter night's snow,
so be the strands of yester's shadows
driven off by t'day's morning glow

a stirring within, then a blink
awake from dreamless slumber,
the spirit takes wing
kindles a forgotten wonder

a new year, good or bad whether
maybe gainful, maybe sorrow
but the mindful suffers neither
cos freedom tis .. having faith in t'morrow
