Running on a treadmill

I started to pick up interest of running on treadmill. I used to exercise myself on air walker though. It is a totally different workout compares to air walker, it gets you all sweating, and it seems like you can burn a lot of calories by running on it. As she joked, it is like fat dripping down your cheek and body, and it feels good to think like that. In a way, it could be just a consolation.

The girl beside me was doing some difficult moves on the treadmill: slow down paces, catch up with it then fists out like a boxer, ran sideway with body facing left and then changed to right, backward stepping, and even some moves that resembled dancing with hands stretch out in grace. Not a strange sight, yet it was rare and honestly good for eyes. She did it like it was the most natural thing to do in the world. Not much people in the gym though. Along the row of treadmill, there was only me and this treadmill dance girl.

Somehow the whole scene reminded me of her, who might be at same time running on a treadmill in another gym, in another place. She was probably sweating from her face down to her white t-shirt and down to her light blue track pant. It was partly soaked with sweat. However it never bothered her much. All she wants to do is just run, and run. Letting all out, then she will be satisfied.

I feel jealous thinking about that. But what am I jealous of? The gym I guess. Who in the world will possibly jealous of a gym, anyway?

“Sometimes I look back the work I have done, I will wonder why I have to do this? What was it in my mind that I had to use this method? What was I thinking at that particular time?” I said. “Then I would try to use some other approach if it works in the same case, but turn out my original idea was the best suit, so I guess what I thought that particular time must have covered this thought that I’m having now, it caters. I feel amazing sometimes.” “Then will you forget me someday, if that symptom hits you again?” She asked earnestly and out of curiosity. I gave it a deep thought, tried to apply it to some analogy and see if it works. “I don’t think so; it won’t be the same for human being. So far, it happens to things when I’m in work or maybe I should say I only realize it occurring when I’m working. ” I explained. “Memory of a person is not discreet, it’s like a continuously stream over time, like a flowing river, from a canal to a wider river. Shape of the fluid takes on form of rive

Simply beautiful voice

Can't say she sings without skill but rather, more appropriately saying; without much decoration. That simplicity and purity of voice that doesn't need cosmetic and beautification, and it turns out to be a beautiful ordinary voice.

The ugly face

I have known her for five years. We’re not the best known couple among friends but we got along well. We seldom quarrel, not to say we had not raised enough issues to quarrel but we had our own way to tackle it, we came to the consent and agreement on things before we got together, we talked issues over and we discussed together to sort out problems. There was once we had a big fight, and hmm, I shall rephrase the big fight to cold war instead. We managed to get back well together again in two days time, it was like two years for us then. After that we came to really appreciate each other. I don’t really remember the detail of reason why we quarreled; I can say it was a rather long story, that it will take two pages to explain. I won’t be explaining the reason here because that is not the main point. Among my girl friends, she moved me the most. Since the first day we had known each we had unbroken topics of conversation. The conversation was so smooth that even the most tedious and bo
