Mood: calm Fact of the day: Singapore is going to ban the episode of Ally McBeal where Ling kisses Ally. event of the week Annual General Meeting of SSA. which I'm going to miss. damn.
I had a wonderful experience yesterday evening - doing nothing.
I met up with Li yesterday afternoon, because she wanted someone with her, while she's rollerblading. After that, we went back to her dorm to have dinner. She wanted to take a shower, so I would have to wait. But somehow, I chose to sit outside her dorm, rather than in her room. In the front of her dorm, is this porch, that looks out to this neighbourhood with nice huge trees lining the roads, brick houses and such. There're already some chairs on the porch, so I just sat there and waited.
And did nothing.
I was looking at the beautiful flowers on the trees, I was observing the other girls on the porch smoking, I was looking at the sky, feeling the wind and all that. But other than that, I was doing nothing. Actually, what I meant to say was, I wasn't thinking. I wasn't thinking about the work I need to do, the other appointments I have for the rest of the week. Or pondering about life in general, about my life now, about my friends - you know, all the stuff I used to do all the time. Basically, last evening, I just didn't think of anything at all.
Because I let my brain take this little break, I could feel my other senses work better. Like everything else is so much more obvious. I could just see the beauty of the flowers, the freshness of the cold wind and the blue-ness of the sky. It's a soothing experience, to allow myself to be completely absorbed into the environment, and just not think about anything else. In a way, I almost felt like my existence was defined only by my own breathing. No need for intelligence, sensibility or rationality, since I'm really just part of the background, though I am still observing and feeling the environment.
I feel like I'm not making much sense here. But what the heck. Just wanna say: I had a wonderful time last evening.
