spring weather here makes me feel like i’m in singapore again. the sweltering heat in the afternoons that makes it necessary to have a fan going at full blast.

especially during sunsets when it turns cooler and the birds come alive again before they roost for the night. for some unknown reasons such evenings just remind me of the times when i was a primary school student. school would have just ended and i’d be walking home from school with my mum and bro, along with some neighbours and kids.

those walks became part of my childhood and to date, when i take walks in the evenings, i’d be reminded of those days. when it was so easy to relax and observe everything around me. when school bags were the heaviest things on earth and nothing else would weigh me down like the school bag did. once my mum helped me with the school bag (i swear she insisted), i was free.

now i can take walks without carrying anything but still feel weighed down. i wish i can go for walks around here in the evening, but there’s nowhere to walk to except along the busy main roads. more walks for me when i return to singapore, i think.
