Afterglow

After a massive thunderstorm this evening, the streets and buildings of Orchard Road started to glisten with a magical afterglow. The fresh air, the cold wind, the light drizzle and the city lights created that Christmasy/ Wintery atmosphere- a rare moment in humid, tropical Singapore.

I plugged into my iPod, and as I listened to Annie Lennox's "Waiting in Vain"...I felt like I was in that movie, "Serendipity" for a surreal moment. Festive season-check. City setting- check. Reflective state of mind- check. Sense of uncertainty as to what the future holds- check. Bittersweet tension between beauty & poignancy- check.

I remember Daley Hake wrote something about how the heart goes through seasons.
I'm not sure what the next season holds, but I'm praying I'll be alright.
