Temptation.

The need for another reunion:

Due to the pestering of a fellow blogger, i shalt finally update my olden-and-not-so-active blog.

This time, since i've no topic whatsoever to talk about, i shall talk about TEMPTATION. Guys, if you read this, hold up and keep your hands still. THE BEACH. Yes, the beach is a wondrous place to go. It's like a seductress making you yearn to go there, on and on. Not only that, once you're in her grasp, when you're there at the beach, the seduction becomes worse. Many have lost their sanity to this temptation. You go to the beach, yet you do not 'mandi' in it. You just sit by the beach. Walk along the beach. Have a picnic by the beach, say perhaps. However, you still DO NOT 'mandi' in the beach. Many have lost their sanity thanks to that temptation.

Here, my tale starts. We were at the beach. It was a beautiful sunny clear blue sky. The ocean was the blue of the sky. Foamy and Wavy. What more could a guy ask for? Good company? Good food? Meru by your side? Yes, those would make the situation all too nicer but the temptation still remained. The burning urge to go and 'mandi' in the all to tempting ocean. The beach is a clever seductress. The ocean was there, waves slowly lapping the shore. With an all to clear-blue sky, I was tempted. As the line goes, 'malang tidak berbau'. It was an impromptu trip to the beach from the tennis court. I was in shoes. No extra clothes. AND I WAS AT THE FRIGGIN BEACH, unable to 'mandi'.

The temptation was all too great. I succumbed. I took off my shoes and socks and walked to the shoreline. Like a fool, transfixed with a thing of ecstasy, i stood there. Not sure whether to walk into the waiting ocean or to turn back and walk off, away from the all too tempting ocean. I walked on. Went into the ocean, just to feel the ocean. To have a feel of the cool water against skin on a hot afternoon. It was all to tempting.

The point is, the beach is a wondrous place to go. My recent ventures to the beach has not been fully appreciated lately. Either 'kacau-ed' by some unseen disturbance or the lack of 'mandi' in the beach. SC, we need to go to the beach. Can't fully appreciate the beach if we don't go 'mandi' in it, now can we?
