Run baby run. Occasionally, I'll take a drive to take a run. I like driving through the old Punggol road that leads to Punggol End that is now called Punggol Settlement. The dense foliage of old allowed only intermittent sunlight to pass through but not it is little balding with age. Was happy to get a car park and a tortoise greeted us. It was hot and humid and it makes us want to get into the water. But the tortoises were getting out of it. Is it warmer in there? An outdoor run is always better. Saw a Wan Hai Lines container vessel that was steaming pass. As you run the landscape is changing. The sun, the skyline and ... ...the sea. You can focus on the things nearby. Or let the mind wander further in the distance. Or of fallen trees and fallen dreams. Or peek into a lone man fishing with just a brolly and a rod. I don't know about you but wherever I go, my senses always work overtime. Like feeler...

I have childhood friend from the same primary school/class and who so happened to live in the same estate and sometimes when we meet, we will go climb up trees, probably a raintree and talked about all kinds of things over sandwiches even. This was a time remembered. Seasons come and go and all things shall come to pass - Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall as they would say but here we only have it wet or dry like our noodles. I was still a very young boy in lower primary and used to have to get up when it was still dark (we used to be an hour earlier before we adjust the clock to follow Malaysia). Mum would be the first person up preparing breakfast with hot drinks. If she hadn't turned on the radio then the neighbours would and these are the types of songs of the era: You know from the 50s? Bai Guang? Well, they were still playing it in the 60s. Nostalgic moments for sure if you are older than me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eylZkNZQroA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2eqg...
