Discovery Walk

one of my favorite things to do ever since... 8th grade(?) is to go out at night and wander around the streets aimlessly with my ipod. i was never a rebellious kid but when it came to leaving the house for these occasions, it didn't matter if my parents got mad at me for putting myself in "danger" to those creepy stalkers roaming at night. it clears my head and sometimes you find some amazing discoveries... and today was one of those days.

i've been back from japan for over a week and i've been having a lot of chilling time. so you can guess i've been walking aimlessly around my neighborhood late at night despite my mother scolding my twenty two year old self. i live on a hill so as i go down, down, down and walk endlessly along the long path, i decide to cross the bridge and voila, find myself to this:

can you spot the people kayaking at this time of the day?

can you spot the people sketching the scenery at this time of the day?

went for a nice long run along this path that never seemed to end. i had no choice but to turn back at some point. i loved how the wind helped me evaporate my sweat. this may be my new favorite place.    

also found a sports institution along the way and took me a few minutes to realize that i came here to compete for a cross country race many many years ago.... good times good times... not.

but for some odd reason, i was overwhelmed with this motivation to run a marathon. seriously what is wrong with me? maybe i should go for the standard chartered marathon that happens annually. anyone want to join me?
