A stroll in the park

Time to blog.
I went for a jog at the park behind my block after the rain today.
Thus, somehow i feel very happy today.
Must be the endorphins from the run.
After the jog, i was walking thru the park and i saw stuff which triggered an urge for me to blog.
In fact, i was already "blogging" in my brain as i walked.
How i wished i can somehow blog by simply just thinking, thus save me the hassle of typing.

The air after the rain was cooling and somewhat refreshing,
as i walked along the path surrounded by greenery i felt alive.
All my time on the computer for the past month has somewhat killed me.
I felt so dead as i did nothing but kill creatures in the man-made world.
Life seems to be unreal and without a purpose after sometime.
But, my visit to mother nature today has rejuvenated me.
I felt so in touch with the world, with the land.
I was no longer sitting in my room surrounded by four walls and staring at a screen.
I was no longer breathing in hot and stuffy air(caused by the heat wave lately), no longer interacting with man-made objects that were non-living and had colours that had turned dull over time.
What i was witnessing was bright lovely colours of green, red, orange, yellow and many more.
The flora and fauna are alive, breathing and bursting with energy.
Get the picture not?
lol.

Ok as i walked , walked and walked.
I saw couples, a few pairs strolling in the park.
Then i reached the peak of the hill, i saw a couple kissing.
Then i wondered.
Why would people kiss in the park.
Then i thought to myself,
would i want to kiss in the wild.
I pondered as i walked.
I could not feel any relationship with romance and nature.
I mean, if i come to a park, i will feel very energetic.
I would feel like playing sports, exercising.
Even if i brought my gf to the park, it would be a jogging session.
And, who would dress up to go to the park(dress up as in dress up to go for dates).
Isn't it instinctive to be in track suits?

Wdv.
Next, i went to the flower garden.
But, it looks like the gardener has quit.
What that was once an elusive space, rare and hidden, bursting with flowers,
-yes, sth like finding neverland that kind of feeling-
was now nothing far from an abandon backyard.
Sigh.
Then i had an encounter with some bird.
A very cute bird.
It looks like an emu from far.
It was black but the area under its beak was white, sth like it had a while neck.
It could not fly, had long legs like a chicken, but was smaller.
But as i went closer it scurried into the bushes and quickly vanished from my sight.
Too bad i could not have a close look at it,
but this visual encounter was sufficient to make me happy.
Then came the end of my journey in the park,
marked by seeing another couple sitting under the shelter.
lol.
What an interesting day.

I think i shud go "return to nature" more often.
The only image that came to my mind when i think about my last visit to nature would be the Tree-top walk i did with odac sometime ago.
Was it a year ago?
Nvm.
Anyway, its very peaceful to stroll alone in the park.
For ur info, the park i am referring to is not a boring flat land, its a hill, a garden.
If u know the garden opposite amk library, that is the one.

Days past so fast and it has been so long since i last blogged.
Many things happened.
But, since the only human i interact with most of the time is myself these days.
Most or everything has only got to do with me.
Thus, did not feel the need to write.
Do not want to bore ppl.

Last tues, i was being accused of being a cheena by a customer which made me so furious.
But, thats over and i do not wanna to dig it up again.
Then i had off days frm wed to fri.
Wanted to exercise all 3 days but i was a slacker.
Wasted wed and thurs, only on fri did i went swimming with ck.
Actually we were not even swimming can.
I wanted to swim, but ck lured me to slack with the idea of sun tanning.
So we just sun-bath by the pool for the whole afternoon,
and of cos talked and talked.
It was so hot!
That we felt so super dehydrated after a while.
After the sun-bath, i did not feel black or burn at all and i did not feel really happy with the results.
But after i went home, played com for a few hours, WA!
When did i became so red!

Whats worst was that this was different from my past sunburns.
Cos in the past, i merely cooked my back, arms n face.
This time i laid flat on the bench and let the sun cook me.
OMG!
Now i have the shape of the swimming trunks on my body.
My whole torso was bbq-ed and even my legs.
Initially, i tot it was SO COOL and i felt really happy.
But, when the pain sets in.
OUCH.
I felt pain even when i wear a t-shirt.
I felt my whole upper body burning.
Went to work the next day and it was really OUCH!
Towards the end of the day, even my eyes and lips felt super dehydrated.
Had to drink loads of water that day.

Thus, on sunday i skipped work to stay home and recover.
PAIN!
Fortunately, i had the aloe vera gel at home, the green gooey stuff works!
And i knew it since 5 yrs ago.
It healed my burn after OBS when i was in sec 2.

Another happy thing.
I am imbar rich!
OMG!
I cannot believe i can be so rich.
Obvious not in real life.
Maple la.
Ok la, to some pros it may be nothing, but to me its a huge sum of mesos.
Guess how much i have now in total?
25mil!
Wahahaha.
How did i do it?
Yy told me abt the newcomer reward thing on maple and he claimed that he earned 2m frm it as he started a new acc.
So i went to check it out.
And i found out that there was this reward for every character every 10 levels(multiples of 10) until level 50.
Thus, i logged in to my every account and claimed the reward for each possible one.
For my level 30 sin, i got a 3 day regular shop permit!!!
Ta da!

Finally, i could open a shop without using $$.
I had always wanted to open a shop.
But it can only be done using A-cash which means i have to go buy the stupid A-cash card that cost 10.50SGD.
No way am i spending real money on games, on virtual goods.
That was my stand.
But, i really wanted to have a shop.
I have heard countless stories of how friends strike rich on maple with the shop.
Finally!
So i had it opened for 3days.
From fri to sunday.
I did not want it to be so soon, but only after close inspection did i find out that it expires on sunday.
Tsk, that means the 3day permit starts from the time i get the coupon frm the NPC.
This is full of crap.
I think no1 except me understand this.
Lol.
Anyway following that.
I gathered all my items, scrolls and equipments in 1 acc and i open the shop.
Business was not so good the first few days.
But on sunday i sold 2 of my most exp scrolls out, which brought quite a sum.
So i earned like 15+mil in all.
Then my main which is now a cleric is also quite rich.
Got like 8+mil before i get the shop.
Then these few days hunt at Wraith earn quite a bit so got 9+m.
9+m + 15+m = 25Mil
WEEE!
Super happy can!

But its also very ironic.
Now i also feel very empty, very poor.
Cos after i get so much mesos, i treasure it, i don't dare/ don't wanna spend it, find it very precious.
So it makes no diff if i had the mesos a not.
$$ is just $$, no value if i am unable to spend it.

Aiya, so lame.
U all also don't understand.
Talking to myself.
Haiz, feel so guilty ps edmund for 2 weeks liao.
The previous week i cant opq with him cos i still low lvl.
This week is cos i open shop.
N cos its regular store permit, have to play a character to open.
Which means the character just stand at free market all the time, i cannot play.
Hai, must play with edmund nxt week.
Wonder what level is he now.
Maybe higher than me.

Ok, time to go.
Enough nonsense.
Bye!
Scott signs off.
