prayer
joel is on a mission, and he's missing in action at the same time. was at cousin benny's house with sister practising for auntie's wedding. we practised till six in the evening. super tired, but still had to go to esplanade library to borrow wedding songs. i was feeling awful later. so i ate a lot of fatty food at pastamania at funan. then i felt guilty after that. still, i wanted to eat ice cream from anderson's, but luckily the waiter was busy on his phone. decided to walk home from funan.
heaven was holding a half-moon, smiling at me. i was pondering a lot of things. walked past the shophouses along south bridge road. it was really scary. then i walked past sago lane. i remember being there during primary school years for a learning journey. desmond was telling us that he wanted to create a hotmail account using the username 'blistering_barnacles', but couldn't because it was already in use. surprisingly, i met this person who was using that address in my secondary school years. it was teckming.
throughout the walk back home, i felt compelled to walk on the left side. don't know why, maybe it had something to do with reading too much 'da vinci code'. after sago lane, i passed by the terrace houses, and there was some eerie pub. some buildings were gone, although i don't remember the names.
i reached the junction between the central narcotics bureau and institute of health. this was the first time seeing the green man at the traffic light flash with the longest countdown of 36 seconds. and it was indeed a wide road to cross. walked past singapore general hospital, and the entrance to the mortuary. that place was freaky. i was actually scared and i wished you were beside me.
my right sandal broke on me. or rather, it broke under me. the strap came off, but i could still walk in it. took a detour into the new tiong bahru market. it's opened now. tried to recall what it looked like in the past. pity i don't have any photos of the old market.
"and when you've never done, or felt, something before, it scares you."
