Two days ago when I was making my way out to scale that hill, I happened to open the mailbox and see the postcard from good friend Cyclops. Fresh from Germany. I absolutely love that feeling of receiving a handwritten letter or postcard from anyone anywhere. And sometimes I wonder if it's because of this that I enjoy writing people postcards.
The book fair was held at the same place. But for once I appeared at the place as a customer. It was slightly weird a feeling. The professional instinct in me felt familiar yet distant at the same time. It felt necessary that I put the books lying around in place and unfolding the folded pages. I mean, I am talking about three consecutive years of experience here. Of course, I can never visualise myself doing it ever again. Things have since changed. So have we.
I got lost again. The board that was supposed to give me directions cheated my feelings. But it struck me that I am less afraid of getting lost now. Because getting lost in Singapore isn't that scary after all. (Not including Bukit Timah Hill...) I made it to class on time though. After lesson I offered respect to laoshi. I shared with him the news and thanked him for his blessings. It was one of those things I had been waiting to do.
After some research, I sat at the steps at The Star. I like that place. It is like one of the best avenues for me-time. Then of course, most people there did not seem to be spending time alone. The stomach rumbles nonstop these days. Just now was pretty bad so my legs carried me to Candy Empire where I got myself a peanut butter Snickers bar. The craving for sweet snacks hardly get to me but when it does, it can be rather unstoppable. I foresee more purchases in the next few days... My first friend in my second primary school is back from Toronto. We had a long chat over dinner and dessert. He never changes.
It has been a lovely Wednesday. Thank you.
