It was close to midnight when I was on my way home last night, and despite being sleepy, i got off the bus 3 stops earlier and ran all the way home on impulse.

Don't know why I did it. I guess i just wanted to let go of all the stress and pent-up feelings that had built up over the weeks. The feeling of the wind beating against your face when you run is simply priceless.

It feels even better when you're at sea. Sometimes, when I patrol, the steersman would prefer to navigate from the flybridge (i.e. out in the open air) than in the wheelhouse (inside the boat, where the traditional panels and steering and all is). Steering the boat from the flybridge is way cool. For one thing, you use this remote control that looks like a PS controller to steer the boat. The other thing is, you're exposed to the open air as the boat zips by at 40knots (more than 100km/h). The wind blows so strongly against you that you have to hold on for dear life lest get blown away. And the G-force is really shiok. Its like you can feel the skin on your face stretching under the pressure and speed. Its really the most exhilarating feeling I've felt in my life. Its one of the rare times when I feel completely happy.

Well, I guess I've found myself a new remedy to cure my lows, I reckon. Lol.
