Presenting the 4 botaks of NTUBS, courtesy of Sumantri's nokia camera phone.
Unlike the previous sundays, I have no activity today. Hence, I decided to drive down to NTU campus and enjoy the peacefulness there. Thanks to the surrounding quiet environment, which comprises several large cemetries of the muslim, catholics, christian and chinese, plus huge acres of forested training ground for the army + the live firing area. If you dun believe, take a look at the singapore map. NTU is jus next to a large piece of rural green.
Tried the SRC for the first time. The pool is extremely clean (nus one is also clean), which is the reason why I nv like to visit the public pools ever since I entered NUS. Furthermore, there were very few swimmers, which make undisturbed lap swimming possible. One advantage over NUS pool is that the water is not as chlorinated. The air seems to be fresher too, unlike NUS pool which is located next to AYE.
After which, I found myself a quiet & shady carpark at SIMTECH to wash my car. Its not about saving water (anyway, my fuel of travelling to ntu cost much more than the water), but the convenience of reaching the water supply. With the tap just a few steps away, I was able to give my partner a thorough clean under the hot yet shady + peaceful + quiet afternoon. I have spent very long hrs washing my previous cars (both of which were white) in PGP, but this is the very first time I did for partner since i have it 4 months ago.
This evening, I have my usual meditation session with Teddy, Ananda and Melvin. I am getting more comfortable with Mr Lim's place as the weeks go by. I have been to quite a few other meditation sessions but Mr Lim one is rather different. After every sitting, there will be a mini makan session, which I thought is a pretty good idea. Buddhism is not always about sitting + chanting + discussion of Dharma anyway, thats far too dry to attract ppl living in the urban city like us.
Anyway, I enjoyed myself today. Havent felt so light for such a long time, hopefully the coming course I am attending tmr will be a good one. ITE is afterall not as fun as I perceived it to be....
