The best part of being alone
I came across this article.
I'm glad I know the goodness of being alone at times.
Being alone doesn't mean that you are lonely... It gives you much more time to spend with 'me' and to know yourself, your observations, your thoughts a little further.

Honestly, I experience so much joy in taking walks alone at times!
I walk at my own pace, I hear nature's calling with no disturbance, I can sing freely without fear of judgement. Afterall, I judge myself.

Great Morning
This morning is pretty exceptional! I got another thing of my 'list of things I should do' in botanic gardens.

I fed ducks with french baguette the last time (oopsie, although the public is not supposed to feed it) and today, I sat on the grass patch in front of the duck pond! yippeee

IT IS FUN SITTING ON GRASS - ok, but with newspaper to keep my clothes dry - :D
it is fun, because it is but another simple joy in life. I ate breakfast on the grasspatch alone until I realised a bunch of mini flies were following me - I changed my seating spots and I still spotted annoying mini flies at the corner of my left eye - and headed back to office.

I explained to my colleague while on the way to work, the joy of sitting in the pavillion or watching ducks waddle while having breakfast on days I get to work early. He was pretty amused :)

I think its a great pity not to notice these beauty around you, and especially when you cross these very path everyday.  As I learnt from him, it is true that people, many people are indeed leading a fast pace of life such that they are so distracted and miss out on appreciating these little gifts of nature.

I'm glad that even though life may perhaps be moving at a fast pace, I remind myself to take a breather and to notice my surroundings change gradually... yes, I often do it alone because I have no friends who are interested in doing such things which I perceive to be AWESOME. Even walking out of the MRT station into the gates of botanic gardens, and watching all the millipedes, centipedes, earthworm crawling all over the place is really fun! Its like playing a game of "battleship" with these creatures, just that if you are not observant, you will kill a little millipede (and I will feel very sorry for it).

note to self: can suggest botanic gardens as a future meet up place.
