a nite out @ Chomp Chomp
Its Sunday once again..anyway.. ydae was quite a fruitful day spent...went to the library @ J8 & borrowed 3 books...2 books on Thailand..another 1 which is "TIME and the SOUL" by Jacob Needleman .. its quite a chim book to me..so i'll have to take a longer time into reading before i understand what the sentences mean..quite an interesting book i find..
it talks about why is that as we all grow older we find time passes through us more & more rapidly...& when we stopped to think where are we now at this point of time,we dont have much clue ..its something like your whole life passes by without you which also means meaningful time is disappearing in our lives.
"to be present ,truly present,is to have conscious attention.This capacity is the key to be human."
"it is therefore not the rapidity of change as such that the source of our problem is time.It is the metaphysical fact that the being of a man is diminishing"
"...time is vanishing because we lost the practice of consciously inhabiting our life,the practice of bringing conscious attention to ourselves as we go about our lives"
upon reading those sentences..i began to see some light..many of us are physically present but we are not there! We are always busy or in a rush.Have you ever come across a time where u r so busy with ur stuff till u find time passes by so fast? I supposed this is the part where it means you are not there,your physically present,but your "soul" is not really there..
another thing is when you have nothing much to be busy with..meaning you get to slack around..sometimes..you find time going slower..does it mean that you are there ? Is that something to be rejoice over? Cox in this way, you are bringing conscious attention to how your day goes..does it makes sense this way?
Hmm...yup..so after borrowing books..i went back & bought Pork chop for lunch..it has been quite some time i ate pork chop lieo..when i was young..dad buys me Pork Chop occasionally..but i didnt like it so much..cox i found the meat abit stiff & always stuck in the gap of my teeth..haha..but ydae when i ate it..i find the meat getting thinner & can be easily chewed...nice la.. ate my lunch @ kl's house ..den we were thinking of going cycling...and activities to do...i went for a hair cut & eyebrow trimming too..that's y i say its was a fruitful day spent! haha..did so many things...
in the end.. we asked if Zf wanna hav dinner @ Chomp Chomp ...so the 5 of us went for dinner together... me,kl,zf,hy & wy...had the usual food like stingray,satays,sugarcane drink,fried carrot cakes & chicken wings..
*ps:thank u kl for the treat
after our meal @ Chomp Chomp, we moved on to Ice Cube to have some dessert..i had the Very Berry Strawberry icecream ..it was quite nice la..not large portion & also not very sweet..very suitable to my liking...haha...yeah...kl & i bought a small slice of chocolate mousse cake for zf b4 we met..& we haven got the chance to bring it out & sing him the birthday song..tried calling the guys to sing with us ..but they were too shy.. in the end..we stand somewhere outside cartel & sang "quietly" a birthday song ...quite a funny scene i would say..the cake by that time was abit too soft..haha..its rather a simple dinner cum birthday celebration ba..haha..or maybe its not really a celebration..but hope all of them enjoyed the night ...
yeah..took some photos..& the guys walked us till Srg Stadium Bus stop...& we parted our ways... in the end..kl & i walked home..haha..we love walking long distance home..hahaha...but it is rather good also..besides can catch up ..also can burn some calories since we had a quite a heavy meal!
later would be meeting the peeps for a jog ... haha..they say it would be a 10km (to&fro) jog.. dunoe i can make it anot.. normally i only jog like 4km max per day..will be testing on my endurance ..lol..might be abit "xiong" cox it has been 2 weeks plus i haven been jogging already...but heck la..
anyway...here's some pics taken ydae...
