Life Is A Rollercoaster

post #283

Life....it never failed to surprise me. Last week...I was so excited for Saturday, after having the futsal training session and great time eating dinner together...But today....just plain...Well...not exactly plain...my left brain knee was throbbing like crazy. Thanks to the concrete. I thought it'd be better today, but I was wrong....so wrong....

Couldn't say that I didn't expect weekend, I always did. Though tomorrow I already had plans, but still....not that excited. A little bit above plain I guess. Life...just like a roller coaster. One time you're up, the other you're down. One time you're spinning around, the other you're sliding smoothly.....I almost had to cancel tomorrow's plan, since the project would Go Live on Monday, thus I'd probably (99%) stay at the client's site from Friday - Saturday morning around 4 AM.....But then after a meeting on Wednesday afternoon, the Go Live had to be postponed due to some things that need to be confirmed. What a turn on the (life) roller coaster track.

*With knee still throbbing...now it went up to my thigh...darnnn... what a sweet pain... just what I needed to keep my mind occupied, beside work.
Drinking coffee with minimum sugar...just to taste that bitterness....
Drowning myself with work, with other physical activities...just enough to keep my mind and body constantly tired....
Riding Elisha as fast as possible every chance I got...just to hear the wind screaming in my ears, just to feel that adrenaline rush, just to feel that my heart was beating faster...that I was still alive, not just functioning...but alive....

Trying to just go with the flow, with the roller coaster track. Yesterday I tried a new karaoke place at Pacific Place. The six of us, me and my colleagues went there and we I sang like crazy for two hours. Singing...had always been one of the best medicine for me. Just singing my heart out loud, screaming, yelling....it could relieve the stresses....The place was nice, a new user interface, using a remote control instead of PC (like nowadays trend). The TV was about 50" flat LCD....wowwww...nice one. Too bad the song collection was not too complete.

*throbbing got better now....

Another turn that this (life) roller coaster gave me was today. Like last week, I talked to that cute girl coz I wanted to send her an email. When she told me her full name, I was a bit intrigued since her last name was the same with a forum member that I knew. I asked her and it turned out that she was the cousin of that forum member. WTH!!!! What a small small world. To add my surprise, she also went to the same university I had gone. WTH!!!! Life....really full of surprises...either bad or good. Well....bad or good also determined by how we perceive them, right? There's always a blessing in disguise...everything happens for a reason...

Ermm...if life was like a roller coaster with a defined track for each of us, where our tracks might cross, or inline....a defined track that we couldn't change no matter how hard we try....that we could only go along with it.....then what about the final destination? What about my final destination? Where would this (life) roller coaster take me? Could I bring someone along with me? *sigh...hopefully it took me to the place I'd been dreaming of...with that someone...

Well...I should get some sleep now...tomorrow I'm gonna ride a roller coaster, real one, not a metaphor. Hopefully this throbbing would subside in the morning...

*little update...a friend just gave a very good comment...yeahhh this (life) roller coaster would go back to the starting point, thus create a circle....of life...ermm...but where did I start?? And who's the roller coaster controller? Hmmmmm.....
