The Opera Populaire

Decided to stroll around Esplanade this evening. Have been itching to walk around that area whenever I go for work, esp when I was at a seminar at ACM last week, but no time. Until today that is. To be precise, I was at the side with the Merlion, where I usually dun go to. It was interesting to be standing there, remembering the view from the opposite side where I usually went to.

Memories came trickling back, but they no longer mean much to me. Someone once told me, it is possible to tell yourself u no longer love that person. Others tell me once u gave ur heart away, u can never take it back. I don't know. Perhaps I never did love Kelvin in the 1st place. All I know is that I have moved on long ago from his shadow and while I still wish I could keep a fren, I am glad things r e way they r. God is indeed a Healer.

Thought abt the National Day that had just passed, when the few of us went to watch fireworks there. That was an enjoyable outing. Seems like so long ago, but in reality it was only a few months past.

My strolling took me to Cairnhill, where I wanted to look at some nice shophouses. I had always wondered whether ppl live inside them, or are they some kinda museums. Turned out that some are available for rental, not sure for retail or wat. Others look like art galleries and some look lived in. Can be slightly creepy esp since I was walking past them at nite. But I was sorta fantasizing: how nice it will be if I have the fortune to live in one of these shophouses...from a purely aesthetic point of view, of course!

I suppose most peeps think I am of the tai-tai material and ending up at one of these posh residence will surely be my lot in life. But nai...I never do entertain these possibilities seriously. I dun need a rich man. *Sigh*

I have been thinking and praying abt wat exactly do I want in life and where does God want me to go these days. Finding myself deep in thought all the time, asking searching questions inside. Time of waiting on Him, learning to be quiet and building character. Hope I come forth as gold.
