finally.. i did what i wanted to do long long long long time ago but always do not have the time to. walk around in orchard, shop, relax, destress till late, way past 11. was at orchard on mon nite but didnt stay till late. tonight i really stayed till late, although not late enough as compared to the good old nus days when i took the last bus back to hall at 12 midnight. but tonight was good enough. robinsons was having a members sale again and was open till 1030pm. shopped there till it close. before that, i was shopping at cold storage at centrepoint, again till it closes at 10pm. from there went to robinsons. after robinsons closed at 1030, i started walking towards heeren. was tinking of going back but the stress took the better of me.. i need to destrss. badly... so instead of heading to the car, i headed towards cineleisure. being a wed nite, the place was closed relatively early. so i just went in and stayed there, looking at the place for a while before leaving towards taka square. its finally empty tonite. the audi fashion show took up the entire square on mon nite and i couldnt sit there and enjoy the night. tonight was different. the place is finally free. i sat at the edge of the fountain, watching ppl heading home. it was a windy night tonight. the sky was orangish red and cloudy. the leaves are swaying. it was a really beautiful night, just like how i had remembered it to be in the good old days. i just sat there, looked up at the trees, the sky and clouds. there was no moon tonight but it was still a beautiful sight. i must have been sitting there, staring at the sky for a full 15-20 min before i got up and walked to the centre of the square, right in front of the main enterance of ngee ann city. standing there in the middle of the square, in front of the huge building, i looked up at the sky again. i felt so small, so fragile. at that moment, i felt so at ease with the surroundings, the building, the wind, the sky. it was a wonderful wonderful feeling. felt so light and bouyant. felt no problems and stress. my mind was a complete and perfect cohesion with the beautiful orangish cloudy sky with the nice wind blowing on a quiet night. i could have stayed there the whole night but i cant. continued walking down the pavement after, towards wheelock place. the whole place will be so livened up with xmas deco in less than 6 months time. couldnt wait for xmas to come again. walking down to wheelock, looking at the huge icon that is gg to open soon, the huge outdoor tv outside shaw house, memories of the good old relaxed days came back again. fought to hold back emotions again, i crossed the road to shaw, took the underpass, came out from mariott, headed down towards heeren to the car. that ended a rare enjoyment that i yearned for in months.. when will be the next time that i get to enjoy this again? 3 wks time i hope.
