:: my morning date ::

Ever since dad switched from long distance running to long distance cycling, Ive been changing my running partners.
Bestie-Lenny-D.
Today was an exception.
The man & I had our first morning jog together.
My route, my pace. So too bad, the sprinter man had to go real slow this time. Hoho.
And while I was panting in exhaustion towards the end of the run, the man cheekily claimed hes not tired. Like dur!
Quality time at its best.
Despite the stench and sweat. (oh well, one way or another u have to get use to each other's smell!)

Two different worlds came crashing together.
I never imagined myself with a PE teacher neither could he imagined himself with a Malay teacher.
That explains while I am religiously running and keeping the self fit (for myself btw) after taking for granted that I will stay slim throughout my whole life.
Which could never happen because I am ageing and the body is not functioning as well as it was then.
Plus the fact that I have a history of being caffeinated and (toxicated), its definitely a good wakeup call to take care of the only body I have.
Sometimes what you need is just a little push and you are good to go.

And in my best effort to malay-fie the man (not as if his malay is that bad), he had come up with a way to irritate me by singing malay songs that Ive never heard of!
'Cantik menarik memang kamu the bomb' - pple can actually sing with such lyrics. I wonder.

As you reflect on your first encounter with a loved one, wishing you could read his/her mind, hoping you had made a good first impression - nothing else seem to matter. The thudding heart clouded your mental jugdment, everything seem perfect in your eyes. Attraction & chemistry worked magic. Your lives intertwined in a newfound commitment, a common understanding reached and slowly you adjusted/adapted into another life.
At times it seems so surreal, you fear losing yourself-your private world-your private thoughts.
Giving yourself away, too soon, too much was a bad mistake that you wouldnt want to repeat.
But sometimes, you have to trust your heart - instinctively, your choice was made by a rational mind - not a schoolgirl's dream bt a woman's need for comfort, stability, security and companionship.

Truth is its not about how the different worlds came crashing, but where we will go from now.
You remain in your private world and I am still entitled to my private thoughts.
They say two heads are better than one.
I say two hearts are better than one.

You have one shot at happiness.
Blink and you miss it. :)
