A mixture of modernity with old-world charm.
I would like to go back someday, just to explore its quieter lanes and streets, find a cafe, get a good window seat, and watch the world go by.
You know, the usual.

Brrr.
It was a cloudy, drizzly day. Classes had not started. After reading for almost the entire afternoon in the quiet of my room, I decided to go out for a walk around the campus grounds.
The moment I walked out, I felt the cold chilly wind hit my face, and my bones went cold.
Coincidentally, I saw a guy skateboarding, yes, SKATEBOARDING -down the slope, in all his singlet glory, against the bristling wind and fine drizzle. In contrast, my arms were wrapped around my pathetically thin cardigan, trying to amass whatever warmth I could. I could not help but smile in amusement at our contrast.
Today, the weather forecast predicts sunny skies, and I’m planning to do a walk around the city. Wish me luck!

Morning Light
May Day.
I stood in the kitchen for a few moments, and admired the silent beauty of the slanting rays around me.
Nature’s subtle reminder that there can only be light because there is darkness,
And the beauty of light is enhanced by shadows.
Thank you for showing me the beauty in simple things.
Changi Beach
On a particularly productive day, I managed to make my way down to Changi Village area, and snapped to my heart’s content.
Aside from a rather unpleasant episode with a group of ants, I enjoyed my time with nature.
Silence and Solitude really can work wonders for the soul.
Too Long Ago
Too long ago,
my mind could take long, tranquil walks
And was filled with hopeful thoughts
Now those days feel distant, vague
Faded, lost, hard to regain.
Too long ago,
Time was a basic commodity.
Now seconds are a luxury,
And hours, priceless.
Too long ago,
I lived, with furry companions in my life,
And friends by my side.
Too long ago.
