Thoughts are the scariest.
Ran at night today, which was not routine at all for me. And hell of a run. Boy, this is one of the faster timings I ever recorded running this route. 42min. Judging from the speed which I am taking off, I probably clocked around 11min for every 2.4km. Which means...
Er...
Well, my brain is too dead to do any other possible calculations due to the sheer exhaustion suffered through the agony of a test and tuition today. It is way too complicated to work out how much distance I actually covered every run.
Dots..
Anyway, it was a really relaxing run with the cool breeze blowing against you and the tranquility that the night offers. And there was nothing to be afraid of when you ran at night. ...
Except.
~Scary music playing in the background~
Well, I got a bit freaked out during the last bit of my run. And I frankly think I am such a wimp.
While running on a well lit street nearing Queensway Sec, I spotted this petite Malay girl with a faint tattoo on her back about 10 metres in front of me. She was lashing out at the tree on her left by attempting to hit the leaves which were just at her eye level. As I passed her, I turned to look at her and she glared at me with almost bloodshot eyes.
She was obviously displeased with my interruption.
~heart lets out a bloodcurdling scream~
It was scary to be gazed upon by such hateful eyes. I still could faintly remember that look. Or am I simply too imaginative?
Anyway, I "sped" away with full speed after passing her, and my goose pimples broke out like nervous creatures escaping at random from a fire.
After speeding away from her for quite a long distance, I kept thinking if she might suddenly be just behind me if I turned around.
Totally freaked out by my own thoughts.
Am I thinking too much?

A Bizzare Offer.
It's often after runs everytime that i got the inspiration or rather the resources to blog. And this time was no different. . My ghost stories would have to wait for a while and i plead for patience from readers who are interested in the 'spook' theme to bide their time. FOr this is one interesting incident in the aftermath of a run.
After a 50min run, i was totally exhausted and seriously deprived of oxygen, gasping for air while i was waiting for the lift back home. But dear readers, i Wasnt so deprived of the basic living tool that what i was goin to relate later was just a bout of hallucinations. Haa. crap. Anyway, i was entirely drenched with perspiration that i seemed like i just came out from a shower except for the fact that i didnt smell too good with that extra bit of 'ammonia' stained on my body. Then, i was approached by a middle aged man who looked quite studious and refined. The conversation goes like this. .
Man:" Hi, may i ask u something?"
Me:" Hi! Yessh?"
Man points to a construction site near my house and asked:" Are they building new flats there?
Me with a blur look:" ??? Dunno."
Man asked seriously, with a look of interest:" Are u conservative or traditional?"
Me:" er. . neutral lor."
Man:" Hmmm, student? Which level?
Me:" Uni..
Man and me, blah blah for another 30secs. . .blah blah blah
At this juncture, i had absolutely no inkling where this mundane conversation is heading to. Initially i thought he was just asking for directions. But when he asked me whether i was conservative or traditional, i deviated from that and thought he might be an opposition party member or he was an insurance agent or watever la. All my guesses were wrong anyway.
Man gesticulated:" Ok, i would be straightfoward. I am a bisexual, and i like macho guys, especially ur type. I know u may not need the money, but i am offering you $100. U need not do anything, u just have to lie down, while i give u a whole body massage and service u like a king."
Me with an incredulous look and a wide grin:" Ha. NO THANKS."
Man pressed on with an air of invincibilty of a warrior and the glib of an experienced salesman who knew how to strut his stuff:" But u dun have to do anything, i would make u comfortable."
Me without a hint of hesitation:" HA. NO THANKS!"
End of conversation, a bye and the man left with a dejected and forlorn look.
MY THOUGHTS
Hmm, seriously i was not enticed at all by such an offer though, but come to think of it, i needed to work 27 hours as a cashier before i can earn that much. Haa. Joking la. But i wasnt angry with the person or think him as dirty as all. It was a legal transaction with no strings attached and he was not that persistent or stepping beyond the line, according to me la. Just a bizzare offer to me.

an hour of running and thinking
Ran again todae in the evening for an hour. dunno where i was headin to. Started out with my familiar route to republic poly. but decided to deviate from my normal routine enroute to rp. ran further down the long straight stretch of tanglin road that seems never ending. turned back den went the other way till the junction before redhill mrt and made a right turn down back to queenstown mrt. .
anyway, went to a lot of places in the queenstown area. even had time to run to queensway shoppin centre. dunno wat i am searchin for in my midst of running. searching for stuff, things to reflect on, or pple? i dunno. haha thot queensway quite near to rp liao, but it takes so infinitely long for me to reach there lor. hmmm... wat seems so near, but yet so far. .
i dun mind runnin long distances or takin the wrong route as long as i can reach the place i wan, but can anyone tell me how to bridge the distance between two hearts? Breaking mine into pieces wun help. so near yet so far. . .

Running with my thoughts flying
Went for a run around my neighbourhood todae in the evening. My thoughts went amok as my engine went faster and faster. Was wondering what would it be like to be able to run as fast as a car. Hahaha. I would probably need a license, insurance and coe too.
Whatever la, but running is an integral part of my life. Started to run since primary 5, when that was the year that i swore upon myself that i should slim down. Tipping the scales at 49kg when i was primary 4 was unthinkable. So it became attached to me since then. Felt great whenever i run, the wind blowing against my cheeks, the welcoming sights and scenery that greet me is a mind blowing sensation. As a lesiure runner, nonsensical thoughts help me to keep in tune with my running rhythm. (nonsensical rthythm) Great way to keep fit too. Or else i would have still be stuck with a not so pleasant body. Hee. .
I may not be a terrific runner, but i can still cover reasonable ground. It's just that this few months, i havent been really running a lot. However, my post chinese new year's resolution is to get back on track in running. Haha, but this is only my third run since CNY. Tsk tsk. . i need to be more determined. Passion is burning dim. Let the fire burn with sparks again. Amber fire is not enough for me. I command my spirit here, glow!!!! HAaaaaaa. Nonsensical. And this was wat i exactly thot about during my short 20min run.
