Rest and Relax

I did it!!! I finally managed to get a day's leave off work to relax. This is the first time I'm taking leave, not for any occasion, not for any trips..but to relax and do whatever pleases me....

I managed to get my wonderful colleagues to cover up for me...they have been encouraging me to take leave..how sweet of them. I just want to sleep till my covers get burned and bum around doing nothing..
Instead I woke up at 6 plus in the morning, earlier than my working days..and feel more awake than ever..
Guess I was too excited about my leave..moron..
No matter how I forced myself to sleep, I eventually woke up at 8-ish, and got myself prepared to go skating alone..yes, that's something I wanted to do badly.

When I reached the park, it was so quiet and serene...the trees swayed in the breeze and the sound of the waves simply depletes off the adreneline accumlated in my body.... The only people I saw were some PRC's and Caucasians..Man! This is life! I put on my skates and earphones and rolled off... No stress, no anxiety..no one to see me fall, and no one to disturb me...

I was only 20 mins on the track before this bespectacled, decent-looking, 40-yr old man skated past me and greeted me. I greeted back, as a form of courtesy. He began to slow down and I found myself skating beside him...
I realised he was trying to engage a conversation with me.. but I didn't know what to do, so I just responded..
Determined to be alone, I told him that I needed a rest and he skated off to the end. As I sat down to massage my cramped feet he rolled back and stood there waiting for me.. I grew anxious..

Kept telling myself that everything would be fine and I shouldn't let him spoil my day... Slowly, I found out that he's married with 2 kids .. Our conversation became more like a "taxi-driver:passenger" dialogue...told me bits on his children.. I guess he was harmless but still can't wait to ditch him off. He offered to treat me lunch and a lift home..but i declined immediately.

As we approached Mac, I took the chance to leave since his van was parked at the other end of the park..He asked politely if I want to exchange contacts...and I rejected. He smile and rolled off...
Goodness, this incident really makes me think... how much more can u trust a man..even when he's your husband?? ( sorry, guys..but I'm just putting myself in the shoes of his wife..and my other experiences I've encountered...no offence, please..i know u guys will tell me that u r different...okok..just listen and dun comment k??)
Phew... I had my lunch at Mac and went back to skate for another hour...This time, I really got my peace.

Although I run a risk of running into that man in future, it doesn't prevent me from going back alone... it's a real good getaway and I'm looking forward to the next skate out.
