Inspired by a black out and a day out in the sand.
I was just lying at the couch trying to make of the remaining cold atmosphere. The electricity’s been gone since even before I got home from the beach like 5++ pm ago. My dad talked of the stars (on how much it is visible and how long he hasn’t seen it that way) and that is how it hit me! I prefer the low end of life. (Well that wasn’t actually how it came about, wanted to go out and looked at them myself but I don’t know how they just got this idea of people taking advantage – in which truly disgusts me, the thought itself and the possible event.)
People nowadays are mostly competing to get hold of the latest gadgets and all that technology stuff. Competing over who has the most advanced, not forgetting; competing to show that they are CAPABLE of getting the more advanced (even when that means having loans in like 3-4 different banks.) Well I’m not really trying to be critical here, but I just needed a say. (If this is posted on Borneo Bulletin again under someone else’s name~ I’m just about to be a millionaire *wide smile*) So the point to what I was saying is that, they have never really seem to take a break from all that and just sit back in an old-fashioned manner. Well not exactly what I had in mind, but I just cant seem to put my ideas in words. What I actually want to point out is that, technology has taken over their lives in every way that they forgot that the simple life is FAR more stress-free.
I’m trying not to be a hypocrite, but fact is, I’m showered with all of these technologies myself. In fact, I even used to be good in handling them too. Though so, since I was little I had also enjoyed nature as much as the next person does – just on the basic level, e.g. “love gazing at the stars”, “love the beach”. This was however, further ‘developed’ as I grew older. Nature, I thought was my way of releasing stress, and I thought the beach was a great way, so did my friends. This thought was cancelled off recently, and now I find beaches a depressing place that allows you to think more then be more depressed! That was around December, last year. I realised this, during the reunion when I was talking to Ameer. So I wasn’t really excited when teacher told us that we were going to the beach on our field trip. I knew I’d be depressed there, turns out I was wrong. I wasn’t much at the beach now, but more to the sky.
I was quite broken down early on, and I was on the verge of giving out, ehh I did gave out. Everything seemed to go wrong, a fall on the rocks, let me rephrase, sharp pebbles. And my phone’s went on a bad condition, probably cause it fell with me, its all scratched now.*sighhh and some more other stuff.
So yeah I slumped down the sand, having no thoughts in my head just mere frustration. And I don’t remember how, but I laid my back on the sand, and I saw the sky, it was beautiful, and blue and refreshing, the sun wasn’t shining straight to my eyes and that made it more wonderful. At that moment, everything flew by me, and all I can think of is nothing, and all I can feel is, nothing. I stared at it for awhile but I was interrupted by another of god’s wonderful invention, a man, my cinta =). I don’t know why but he has always, had that effect on me. Its like on one of those over-dramatised romantic books/novels, where it claims that all one can see when they are in love is that one person they are in love with. That the world - as these couples claim it - is their own. See, these are over dramatised but in a sense they are kinda true. I wouldn’t be very much aware of the surrounding if he’s around.
Err..i seem to be drifting of to another thing now..hee..and i am kinda out of words..so uhh..will have a continuation of this some other time..x)))
