Objectives and Walking.
I went shopping today with Daniel.
What's so great about that?
The fact is, i HARDLY do any shopping. It's usually the case of me tagging unwillingly along with olders, and i cannot deny that it's pure torture to follow people who can't make up their minds in buying what they need.
Usually guys don't really have this sort of problem. We hit and run. We know what we want,we go to the shop, we find what we want, pay, and scoot off. Well okie, to be fair, sometimes guys do take time to choose what they really want. No fault for that, coz it doesn't really take long.
But for girls, now thats a different story.
No. i'm not trying to put down the opposite gender, just that i don't really like tagging along with them to do their window shopping.
"Window shopping? What happened to their windows? Broke?"
I guess it's something i acquired in the army. Everything now must be objective. Even if we wanna relax, there must be an objective. It so second nature to me that sometimes it makes me feel like a party spoiler, or some Mr. Scrooge clone. Idon't like the idea of simply walking around without any objective.
Now, the irony is, i do that all the time with Shaun.
Yes. I realised that the only non-objective thing that i tend to do is to walk aimlessly around. I remember the time when i met Shaun for lunch at Funan, we decided to walk to Plaza Sing, then to Bras Basah, and then to Beach Road. I guess it's in our blood to walk alot. Sometimes i prefer to walk home instead of taking the public transport. I walk home from church all the time, yes, all the time, except when i have companions with me who stays very near. (Though i try to pyscho them to walk back...). The furthest route i'd ever walked (other than my 24km route march) was from Bedok all the way back home. Appx 17km.
Walking does have it's perks. It's a good form of cardiovascular excercise. It's an effective fat buring excercise. And it gives you alot of time to think about things like love and life etc. Not to forget, it provides you with the best time to commune with a Higher Power. I talk to God all the time, especially when i'm enjoying a walk. It's such simple (and cost effective) stuff that brings pleasure to me. Who said enjoyable things must be expenisve? Or perhaps i was raised in an era by good parents to understand that true joy and fun don't necessary need cash. I enjoyed my family outings to the beach when i was a kid. I enjoyed the hikes that i used to go with my friends. Hanging out at a friend's place overnight with some instant noodles is a sure crowd pleaser among my cell, all you need perhaps is just one guitar, and we;ll sing the night thru.
Oh well. Just some "unobjective" irrational post beofre i venture to dream land.
I realised that other than walking aimlessly, i also like to post aimlessly.
Hmmmmmm.
