Today's sun was super extra bright and sunny. Went to Zhong Shan Park (alone) to walk around and see the flowers blooming. Took the bus and subway. Got lost a bit, thanks to the wrong information someone on the street gave me.
The park was quite nice; more than I expected actually. It was worth it, considering the very cheap entrance ticket (only 1.5 RMB with student price!). There were many kinds of flower blossoms; but dumb dumb me can't differentiate any of it; all I know is that they are pretty. And they smell so niiiiicccccceeee; especially the baby pink ones, the ones that look like sakura blossoms but I'm not sure if they really are. When I stood beneath those blossoms (to take narcisstic pictures of self =p), I wished I could stay there forever. Too bad there were a lot of people wanting to take pictures too. Or else I would just settle down there to read my book. I ended up on one of the pavilions to hide away from the burning sun and read my Jodi Picoult. Good read + quiet corner + pretty view + cool gentle spring breeze + my faithful beloved ipod mini = <33



So, okay, going alone to a park (or anywhere else for that matter) may sound a bit pathetic. And I've been doing this for the past 2 Saturdays.
But honestly, I kinda enjoy being alone every once in a while. I can be comfortable with my own pace. Do whatever I want. Enjoy the surroundings. Blast my music. Lay back reading/daydreaming/thinking as long as I want or walk around to god-knows-where without worrying whether I'm burdening someone else. Not everyone enjoys doing whatever I'm doing as much as I do, right? PLUS, main reason for this solo action thing is that my roomate's Saturday/weekends have been busy; and I'm not close with anybody else that would be interested in going with me. My other roomate is gone for vacation. So..yeah. >_< Downside of being antisocial.
