Woke up early this morning.Through the windows in my parents' room, the crimson sun was rising up over the blocks on the other side of the expressway. She was right, a night's sleep and tomorrow is indeed a better day, at least it feels this way.

Last night, after I checked in on Yasa at Ward 5, (He's been moved) I took the longest route, home. It was good. Out of SGH, I passed Depot Road, past Gilman Heights, past Queensway and the hot smell of tar where they were relaying the roads, then the Car Showrooms at Leng Kee, then Tanglin, to riding along Orchard Road by night, the roads still chock full with vehicles; taxis picking up nocturnal creatures, then past Goodwood Hotel with the most beautiful Christmas tree of lights I have seen this year, past Newton then Novena, roads which I walked last year, whilst holding back tears. I thought of what I want to say, would you want to hear it?
