Yesterday evening, i went out wif Zhaolin, my buddy fr SYFC. We bought Subway sandwiches n sat by the river beside the Esplanade. In the sunset, the river shimmered wif an orange glow while the city slowly cloaked itself in a lilac nightgown. Children were running about playing, as their young parents strolled behind leisurely. Boatmen waved to the many tourists, n persuaded them to tour the city by a watery path. In the lovely dusk, Zhaolin n me munched on our sandwiches n chat of ministry, sch life n his love life.
Wif respect to the last of the above topics, our conversation went along the lines of:
"Eh Zhaolin?"
"What?"
"So how, u gonna chase her or forever steal peeks of her fr behind the nearest pillar?"
"Actually.. steal peeks of her fr behind the furthest pillar."
"........
Can I see her photo?"
"Nope."
"Why not??"
"So that next time if i change crush u won't know. Then u'll think im single-minded n love the same girl for so long."
"........"
As we talked on, the first stars appeared in the sky. It suddenly struck us how enchanting the city-scape was at night. The high-rise buildings in all its daunting majesty in the day, could not hope to compete wif its own velvety beauty in the night. Ah, the city. The glossy heart of the business world. Who would have tot there's another side to it?
But we were in for another wonder. To our utter amazement, the night exploded in brilliant light n sound. Fireworks! We gaze on in speechless awe as the stardust showered onto the river, onto the city, n onto the hearts of the people watching.
I've made a video clip the fireworks wif my Palmtop. It couldn't capture the splendid scene adequately of cos. Nevertheless, here is the link.
