How high the moon, how calm my heart

It's been far too long a time since I took a walk in the rain, never mind that it has been due largely to circumstance that it's been generally hot and dry since October. The air was refreshingly clean and cool as I strode back purposelessly from one of my mindless trips out to the bondocks of Singapore's east bringing dinner back for my sis. The scenery around me remained the same of course, but somehow it all seemed more alive... the waters in the canal lapped more vigorously against the banks and the street lights reflected in it shimmered and pranced about... and while everything around me seemed to move in response to the night breeze, the one thing that remained still was my heart... or perhaps it only seemed so relative to the often unnoticed and near silent activity around me?
I thought about the friends I've not seen, heard from, or met up with for some time. I guess it was a natural response, considering I had been out with a bunch of my uni eca friends last night (and half-begrudgingly, half-happily accompanying them till 11pm sitting on east coast beach), as well as the dinner I had on Thursday with my JC gang... Jeremy for one, called me this afternoon. I haven't met this annoyingly moody angsty violinist friend of mine for a few months, and I felt a bit guilty as well, 'cos I don't think he has that many friends... MM has been SMS-ing me as well - on Good Friday she even took some time to remind me not to go to school on a public holiday again, like I did last Hari Raya - and I didn't reply back... is 'out of sight, out of mind' always true?

On a less pensive mood, I've decided to make some changes to my room... want to restock my library and add some nice little murals or framed movie handbills to the walls. Will go window-shopping at Holland V, Ikea and that neo-Balinese shop at Scotts sometime after the exams.
