Bicycle

Today I was randomly looking at cover photos for my Facebook page, only to decide to stick back to my current photo. Which is this one --


Aha. Meet Yoon Eun Hye, my favourite Korean actress! It is not only that I like her that I picked this as my cover photo. I like the entire 'feeling' the picture gives:

A young, bright, sophisticated lady getting ready for a ride, who does not forget to stop and look back - just in time.

Speaking of bicycle, I'm always reminded of a nice quote I came across few months ago:

人生就像骑单车,想保持平衡就得往前走。
Life is like riding a bicycle - you have to keep moving on to stay balanced.
And so, the bike in my cover photo adds so much meaning to the entire picture. I aspire to be like that. Happy, self-sustained, keep up the pace in life while enjoying the journey.


On a side note, I realised I still adore cycling despite not touching it for years. It used to be my hobby when I was, like, 8-10 years old? I enjoyed riding it around the neighbourhood on windy evenings. Back then, I thought it was amazing to be able to move so fast and enjoy the wind without having to run, i.e. I don't have to end up panting like a dog and what's more: I get to sit all the way while sweating it out! Ha! (another proof that running is not my thing - ever since I was a kid, lol)

Last year, I finally got the chance to ride a bike again and it was wonderful, although it was a reaaallly short and slow ride (my friends were walking; I refused to go on my own):

Me trying to get my balance after soo many years 

Please excuse the over-edited effect *coughs*. By the way, this pic was taken on last year's Merdeka Day.. Don't tell me it's almost a year already. D:

Anyways, the whole point of this post is this: bicycles make me happy. ^^v This statement had been in my subconscious, I guess.

I'd love to imagine myself cycling to nearby places instead of driving, on tar roads with bicycle lanes, knowing that it's totally safe for a girl to cycle around this city.

Hah. I wish!

我说

1. 东西是需要有固定的地方整齐摆放的。个人空间乱等于心乱。(反之亦然?) 2. 早睡早起。睡眠很重要。 因此,我特地请了一天假想说可以补眠然后好好来个房间大扫除。 结果隔天醒来,胃痛。因为长时间饿肚子,胃炎复发。假期变病假。 所以说, 3. 健康很重要。规律的生活,很重要。 有时真的很受不了自己。 日子就是在不断的选择当中度过的啊 不会选择等于不会生活   这样下去 行吗 到底要什么时候才能学会 prioritise?

A sweet escape

忽然想到一起开始的旅程 这几个字有种温暖的气氛 如果用来形容我们 是不是很巧妙传神 这段歌词,引用到我自己都厌了却还是那么贴切。 从没想过事情会这样发生 原本陌生的人闯进了人生 从此生命中多出你们 也多出无限可能 朋友,就是如此特别的一种关系。 带着各自的故事闯进彼此的世界,擦出来的火花都是独一无二的。 那是我们都回不去的从前 当你站在那个夏天的海岸线 我们还是心里面 那个偏执的少年 夏天的海岸线。以后听到这一段都要想起大学生活了~ 有些故事不必说给每个人听 有些情绪是该说给懂的人听 我发誓要更努力更有勇气 又多了一个好朋友。开心! 不管未来会怎么样 至少我们现在很开心*    ________________________________________________________________________ 是时候回到现实了。考试时间表让我很想大大声唱: All my life I've been good, and now!
