Cycled to sentosa in the dead of the night on friday night in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the meteor rain that was forecasted to drop on earth that night. Started cycling 130am and reach home at around 415am.

The only things that i saw at the beach during those times were a couple of jets, a single star that was not blocked off by the clouds, and a group of very noisy campers who created such a din that it disrupted the quiet and peaceful nature of the deserted beach. Imagine sitting on the beach, silently observing and listening to the sounds of waves crashing and ships docking in the distant, the cool sea breeze blowing against your face, the feel of chill seawater up your feet, then suddenly the sounds of noisy campers screaming and shouting away in the distance. Not their fault, but it breaks the serenity =/

Somehow, i'm not very disappointed. Perhaps I went with half the idea that i wouldn't be able to catch anything, but i went anyway, hopeful that something will actually happen. Its also just an excuse for me to cycle to sentosa. I've long wanted to see what it feels like to stroll the beaches alone in the still of the night.

It was like cycling into a gigantic ghost house. It was rather dark with lights shining at the wrong places. Signs and trees always have light shining upwards, creating the eerie and shadowy effect like when you shine a torchlight up your face in a dark room (like a zombie, zombified signs? lol) The paths were long narrow and void of any living being, except for the sounds of animals. Even then there was a few moments when its unnaturally quiet, almost like the animals were all suddenly gone. There was the occasional taxi passing by, and the two sides thick with vegetation at times. Its not really scary, just a bit eerie. =p

Like always, when i'm alone by myself not doing anything in particular in a quiet place, my mind will churn up some funny thoughts of its own, which i'm not going to blog out now. Not yet =p. For now, i'll eagerly wait for the next oppturnity to view the meteor rain. Its a yearly affair right? Till next year then.

Rocks falling down...

Whisperings


I look back: the sun-baked railway tracks are hidden
By stormclouds- even if they change their shape,
May we always remember
The yesterdays left behind by the seasons...


Chasing, chasing the fading vapor trails
The signal is given too early- we start laughing
So that we can always look straight ahead,
Even if it's slippery with sweat, I won't let go of your hand, ever
