...ABOUT


Love Purple!

I Sit And Look Out
Walt Whitman.

I sit and look out upon all the sorrows of the world, and upon all oppression and shame;
I hear secret convulsive sobs from young men, at anguish with themselves, remorseful after deeds done;
I see, in low life, the mother misused by her children, dying, neglected, gaunt, desperate;
I see the wife misused by her husband--I see the treacherous seducer of young women;
I mark the ranklings of jealousy and unrequited love, attempted to be hid--I see these sights on the earth;
I see the workings of battle, pestilence, tyranny--I see martyrs and prisoners;
I observe a famine at sea--I observe the sailors casting lots who shall be kill'd, to preserve the lives of the rest;
I observe the slights and degradations cast by arrogant persons upon laborers, the poor, and upon negroes, and the like;
All these--All the meanness and agony without end, I sitting, look out upon,
See, hear, and am silent.

      Glorious Times!

      Yesterday was a happy day, spent in good company, filled with laughter.

      I had lunch with Christina, who would be flying off to YALE to do her Masters on Friday. It was great, chatting over Tom Yum, Mango Salad, and Pad Thai, gossiping, and then musing. The both of us, in fact, all our friends, are so much older since we first met in our crazy Hwachong days – our outlooks have changed, so have our circumstances, as do all things, but I’m thankful for the friends I keep, however little time we get to catch up. And I introduced her to soya bean ice-cream, the most delicious ice-cream, ever!

      After work, my colleague TT (Terry Tong!) and I had dinner at this cosy Thai restaurant along Sixth Avenue, opposite Gutherie House. That place is officially my favourite Thai eatery in Singapore for now – they had unusual dishes, and in TT’s words, ‘the flavours are strong.’ I was very satisfied with every dish, the Tom Yum, the Baby Gailan, the Chili Mussels, and the most interesting was the steamed chicken with chilli-lime sauce, tantalizing!

      Post-dinner, I scurried over to Mouse’s house. It’s been a long time since I stayed over, and I’ve missed her so much. I love the way we can sit in her (purple) chairs, and just have so much to talk and laugh about. I love the way we seem to share a part of ourselves with each other- like I know her friends, she knows mine, so we talk about our friends (in a positive way, of course), as if parts of our worlds have merged. And I care about her dogs, her family… though she HATES my Lady (Hmph). We had an early night, settled into bed laughing and talking til we fell asleep. I guess the catching up didn’t end there- for I was talking a lot in my sleep (I caught myself uttering a full sentence once, but I just couldn’t help it), and Mouse kept laughing and whispering in her sleep, and once said an entire sentence out loud, except I couldn’t catch what the M(edh*) she was saying. It must be funny to watch/hear us sleep. I’ve missed her, we’ve so little mouse house time lately because I’ve been doing all the cheese-winning, but I’ve reserved Saturday night for it- Swensons Salad buffet here we scurry!

      If Yuanxin sees this, I do miss you too! I do hope you have a good trip home and all, and I’ll probably see you in school? I’ve just been so busy that I haven’t really been talking to you. But I do care, and hope you’re well, sweet girl. =)

      Oh, I had an interesting sight this morning as I was walking out to Sixth Avenue. Kim left at the same time to walk her three dogs, and then, as I walked out along Garlick Avenue, I saw at least 6 maids walking out with dogs (3 of them were bulldogs, yuck!)… the first thing that came to my mind was, ‘Wow. Dog Parade every morning.’ I mentioned it to TT, whom I met at the busstop and he said, ‘You do know why right?’ Of course, I had no idea, and then he replied ‘They meet to talk and walk the dogs.’ Oh yah how smart, why didn’t my silly head realize that? Nevertheless, it’s just one of those amusing sights. I remember Kim once mentioned that she quite enjoyed it when she was up early, and would see the neighbour hood waking up, and starting their hustle and bustle of going to work, market, dog walking for the day. There’s something about sights like these that just tell you, ‘Well, it’s a new day, and life goes on.’
