The lights were stuck at red at the junction and with the sun's rays beating down unyielding and trapped in our greenhouse atmosphere, I was melting in my helmet, dripping sweat like candle-wax unto the fuel tank of my bike. Well it's officially MY bike now after the transfer of ownership at LTA on Monday, new insurance, and paying off six months of road-tax. The total tally came to $510 and at one juncture, I was comtemplating giving up the bike and growing up for good! That didn't happen and I am still living my dream. I signed the contract wiht MOE (yesterday, but will only start teaching in September, but that's fine, it gives me close to 2 months and I am thinking of another escape from this stuffy little island and looking for accomplices.
if the sky falls on my head while i am chasing butterflies, so be it
every moment, every turning point, every romantic encounter in life, has been marked with a distinct song. our frailties, dreamy encounters and setbacks are always reflected with a soundtrack- a tune which brings us back, a button that allows us to freeze time and playback all those precious moments, good or bad.
