The walk home after sleep
I would love to do some work now but I am just staring blankly at the computer screen, I am tired. And it isn’t helping that the Justice Bao Temple (there isn’t exactly a temple, they are trying to raise funds to build one..now it’s just tents in the middle of the field and it’s been a year or so) is rehearsing for the Hungry Ghost Festival. Think of gongs and bells and instruments that make ‘dong dong’ sounds.
I took the City Hopper home today after work. It’s a straight bus home from town and it goes right to my doorstep. However, I missed my bus stop by around 5 stops. And I rarely miss stops. Bus stops at Fernvale, Sengkang are very far apart.
I could take a bus home but I decided to take a slow 20 minutes walk back. The late afternoon sun was really quite lovely, it was a little warm cos I was wearing full black but it was nice to feel the warmth of the sun, after days of gloomy weather. There are tons of trees and a river, thanks to the not-yet-developed land.
But it won’t stay like that for long thanks to the government’s endless plan to have a building or structure on every centimeter of land. Construction is on-going at every single place in Singapore. There are always construction at Fernvale, the whole of Orchard is under construction, the MRT..soon Singapore will be nothing be a BIG cloud of dust. And we will sink earlier and I will die cos I don’t know how to swim.
