The Purple Sky

as i was sitting in front of my lappy earlier, a thought came to me. i got up, change, put on my sneakers and drove myself to the nearest park. i'm jogging today. hehh.

dear muscles.,, awaken!

good weather, nice breeze, lots of people and i managed to complete 1 lap around two lakes. only. (the park has three lakes) and i was struggling to finish another two laps walking. i was panting. my chest hurts. i barely had enough air to breathe, and i wasn't even sweating. OMG. how frustrating. i used to complete 3 laps around all three lakes. i used to run until my hands went numb. until i'm drenched in sweat. (yuks,! i know..) and i'm not even senile yet, huhu..

done running, i went and sat lazily on the grass and enjoy the view as the wind brushes my face. i almost forgot how good it felt to run. back in bukit jalil, i used to jog around the lake, up the hill and later sat on the topmost area of the commonwealth hill. watching people (cuci mata, hehehh), watching birds, enjoying the breeze, just taking some quiet time doing nothing while my endorphins do their job.

just now, there was a young lady (slightly older than me) walking quite a number of laps while carrying a small kid in her arm. another man was running with his young son (3 year old, i presume?) trotting from the back. this man did more laps than me, and he didn't even stop, and so was his young son! bakal pelari marathon negara nih! talk about perseverence!

but sadly, there were more people who went there just to bertenet, arghh..snuggling each other..argghh again..its one thing if they're married and snuggling each other, its another if they're not married and doing all those out in the open. come to think again, it's usually the unmarried ones who love to 'tenet' publicly, married couples have their own sweet time together at home. and argghh...for the thousandth of times.

anyway, i went home smiling and feeling owh so good.

ah, did i mention i went to watch MUKHSIN last nite? after having spent the whole day burying myself in my books, i pledged a no book night. i was edging to watch Bridge of Therabithia (did i spell it right?), but TGV seremban is not airing any! how come! and since everyone was so excited to watch mukhsin, i reluctantly tagged along, just because i had sworn a no book night, and did not want to stay at home alone nor went window shopping alone as the others went for the movie.

did i mention how much i hate yasmin ahmad? owh and did i mention how much i hate sepet jugak? and did not watch gubra because i hate sepet so much that lasted long enough for me to hate gubra as well? and now i bet u can imagine how much i didn't enjoy mukhsin.

the only good thing about the movie was that yasmin took the time to shape the personality of each characters and i enjoyed watching as the characters developed (orked's father, the pregnant neighbour). on the whole, i think the movie was plain, too much unexplained scene, both orked and mukhsin were too daring for their age (and i can't imagine kids their age talking about boring stuffs like 'if you were the maiden where would you hang ur clothes?' kind of conversation) and being daring and living in the village at the same time, i can't imagine any of the villagers not objecting to such act (naik basikal keliling kampung kulu kilir berdua2 sambil berpegangan tangan) (as the parents are too willing to approve them). okay at least from where i came from i know someone would. i know i sounded conservative, but the whole movie was fairy-like-first-love-tale. too surreal. too daring (and yess again i'm conservative). maybe in yasmin's world such people exist. hahh.

i know i would hate the movie. but i went anyway. huhu..serves me right.
