stirring up familiar memories

On Friday I happened to be around the area of my old house one fine afternoon, and since had the time, I cycled, tracing back the routes that I always took.

It seemed almost like I haven't moved at all - the feelings and same scenes flew past all so familiar.

The same experience occured when I went back to my sec sch (like after 1.5 years) for CO practice. Was rather surprised that my fingers were not as rusty and numb as I had pessimistically thought? Though the turn out was not great, but seeing same old happy faces and hearing nice music was good enough compensation to wake up at 9am in the morning.

It was good to relive some nice old memories... life is so fragile yet so beautiful, when we know how to appreciate it and live it.

I had a really enjoyable (long) weekend.

Il bel far niente

Il bel far niente - the sweetness of doing nothing.

It means just lying down on the floor in the room on a lazy afternoon, gazing at the heavens and letting your mind wander freely.

Or it could be hanging out with your dear buddies, catching up and crapping about every lame thing.

Or sun-bathing on a sunny beach.

Or sending your kite high flying and enjoying the breeze.

It could also be sipping coffee and watching the bustling crowd at the market.

How would you want your weekend to be?

We had tried, hadn't we?

I'm scared to turn old.
