sights n sounds...

Random sights and sounds that never fail to warm the heart

  • The pink blue sky every evening from my balcony…for some reason, I always miss the sunsets in Singapore…the evening literally sneaks in…
  • The soft knock on the door at 545 waking me up to go to work during one summer
  • Signs that include the word : SALE
  • Beach chairs, umbrellas, n the uninterrupted view of the sea
  • The familiar skyline as the plane descends
  • Roar of the speedboat engine
  • The doorbell marking a much – anticipated arrival
  • The out – of – tune Happy Birthday song, every birthday! :
  • The one familiar face that you have been searching for in the crowd of passengers who have just arrived
  • The familiar face on the other side, when you're the recently arrived passenger
  • The insides of a surprise present
  • The oven timer…the cake’s finally ready after filling the whole house with the freshly baked smell!
  • The boarding announcement for a flight home
  • High school friends at Emporium, outside CD warehouse, coming up the escalator
  • Childhood pictures of us at his house, same frame, same wall, same room… for more than 15 years
  • Dairy Queen n the upside down blizzard
  • The rough sea against the rocks…strangely soothing
  • The buzz of aircon
  • My blue lamp in an otherwise dark room
  • The unexpected voice on the other end when you answer a call
  • Your own voice as the greeting on the answering machine, years after you’ve left home
  • A forgotten favorite song that comes up when playing music on shuffle mode
  • Flowers at your door
  • Ghazals as we drive back home late at night
  • Dessert that's too pretty to dig in
    …the list goes on, so will keep adding …
