It’s vivid in my memory, the night when I was searching for the moon in Singapore 2 years ago. I recounted; it was a special day, the day when the moon and 2 stars form a smiling face at the night sky. The next day was going to be one of my common test paper, and yet I was so excited to witness the beautiful scene. So I went out at 9+pm, going about the dark areas behind my house, trying to locate the rare beauty.
But to my disappointment, the scene that was so apparent to my friends wasn’t in my sight at all. I remembered I walked very long, in order to find the stars and moon. Walking while looking up isn’t just some fun things to do with. You ran a risk of hitting into people, or even bumping to a tree. I can’t remember if I was so blur back then, but what I knew is that I was very disappointed that day.
I just can’t find the stars and moon ---- the smiling face.
At that instance, I felt like going home, back to my origin, the place that doesn’t fraught with modern lights, the place that we always pray there would be lamp post by the sides. It may be very scary at night, but it was perfect to view the stairs. The starry sky always looks so beautiful. Just 5 steps out from my house, I can see all the twinkling little stars. That was something that accompanied me for very long, even the moments of my SPM history exam.
This city that I am living in isn’t the village that I used to live in. This city is filled with lights, which they said could drive the stars away. But even so, I never forget to look up to the sky, hoping to see the scenery that I want to see. Perhaps 3 years just don’t make people change much, at least it doesn’t fade the habit inculcated since young.
It’s happy to see you today, the little moon.

Today’s workout:
Jogging: 3.5km
Climbing staircase: 12 storeys
Period: 60mins
The back of my ankle felt tightened, so I decided to stop climbing staircase after 1st round. I reckoned it’s because I jogged longer today, so that the ankle muscles are stressed. I’m still quite worried about my kneecap. Hope it’s just a delusion. (:
Ganbateh ganbateh! You’re improving!
