A Day Like This

I really enjoyed today's public holiday. How I yearn for more days like this. The day was just spent on thoughts, thoughts and thoughts. While I do enjoy classes on a PH, more often than not, it takes away the entire day, and a few hours of recuperation right after.

The day very nearly turned out similar to the previous routine of public holidays. I was already in my car heading towards the expressway before I got an SMS. Without further ado, I aborted original mission and made a hasty return.

It was perhaps a blessing in disguise I wasn't conducting any class today, for I wouldn't have the luxury to make that split second decision. A quick coffee, before a ride to an unexpected lunch, and I actually took a cab home because I was 20mins away from home, with my car keys in my pocket but without my car. Bizarre, I know, but interesting experience. It would never have worked out a few years ago.

An intended nap did not materialise and I logged on, thinking of planning my Europe trip later this year (with a plan B elsewhere if plan A fails). Having been in this 'stuck in limbo' position for so long has left me accustomed to prepare plan B each time round. There have been invitations to Spain and certain countries in Asia, but I think chilly weather and rainy days would suffice over the Mediteranean sunshine. I place all my hopes for a successful plan A, but plan B wouldn't be too bad an alternative and perhaps more relevant to this little domain.

This fear and anticipation has crippled my thoughts over the past few days, but I've finally made full use of the day to settle my thoughts.

Halfway through my planning, the appearance of a friend led to an innocuous question and subsequently unravelled a series of events. I drove down to my friend's place, whisked him off to the automobile megamart to check out cars. It was an eventful afternoon, but as we wrapped things up, we headed for dinner.

During dinner, we suddenly thought of another friend and asked him out and he arrived pronto. Everything was so impromptu, and things flowed in a nice manner. I really like spontaneity.

Talking about being spontaneous, there's this wacky idea that me and some close friends came up with. We take one day leave, pack 3 days of clothing, turn up at the airport and see where the adventure leads us, no plans, no nothing. If all else fails, we check ourselves in at Sentosa for a beach getaway. Till now, it's been all NATO (No Action, Talk Only), so I'll be keen to see if this notion becomes a reality. It's been difficult trying to get everyone together on the same date though, given our busy schedules.

As I end this entry and my enjoyable public holiday, I leave with this track - one of my favourites from Bodybalance, which some of you may have done in the handful of classes I've done.

Nothing about the lyrics, I just feel the music of this track for the night.
