That was a pretty emo entry earlier that I typed like last week but only posted it like 5 mins ago. Cuz I initially wanted to include some stuff but couldn't think of it at that time. Finally, after a week, the emo-ness is has left the house and thus I felt that there isn't any point in continuing it. But for the effort that went into typing it, it should at least be posted.
In any case, all that can be said is that for what it's worth, it was worth all the while. No doubt the end was saddening and painful, for the moments it lasted, it was beautiful. At least to me.
Oh.. I guess I finally realised sth about myself. I like to walk. Well.. Not like it is my habit or anything but I guess that very act of walking holds a strange attraction, in that the constant action of entering and leaving a place shortens the time spent in one particular place. By doing so, one can avoid the possibilities of maintaining any substantial human interaction like the curious looks of others or maybe small little tiddings of conversations of the people near you or even the uncle asking if you want a drink. To speak the truth, while we all need some social interactions at least, there are just times when human interactions can get a wee bit irritating.
On the same note, I guess this is why a lifestyle of back-packing and doing odd-jobs sort of attracts me at times.
Finally, after gym today, I found a pretty nice place somewhere in Yew Tee. As a result of the Macs and NTUC signboards standing on top of the little cluster, I had always thought of this place to be a normal market place. However, when i entered it, it held some sort of a different feel cuz of the architect. It felt like a miniature and much less fashionable bugis junction sort of place. The shops are the regular book shops and stuff. The thing that attracted me the most was the food court as it is pretty old and has not succumb to the trend of renovation to Kopitiam style, and more importantly, the variety of food there was limited as it is a small food court. Thus I was not spoilt with choice and also it did not have the sometimes-helpful-Ch-U-recommendations, which essentially tells u wat to eat when you visit a food court for the first time. In fact, when I left the food court I felt that even though the place was old and wasn;t the cleanest, everything there seems to come in a set. Aesthetically, everything looked pleasant because of this(even the old old toilets). And lastly, but equally important merit of the place is tt the Sweet talk there sells bubble tea only for 1.30!!!! haha..
