Ring. Ring. He fumbled a little as he reached for his phone in the dark. Who would call at this ungodly hour? He looked at the clock. Great it's 3am... whoever is doing this better have a good reason.

Pétanque

Bustling with people young and old, the Garden of Luxembourg attracted us like honey to ants. The moment we stepped into it we could feel the place overflowing with life. People were sitting around and being baked under the sun, many had a book in hand. We found ourselves a spot and try to fit into the crowd. Siting in the company of strangers, we let ourselves melt into oblivion as we engaged in our own conversation. Before we know it, an hour had passed; we decided to explore the rest of the garden. The apiary was a disappointment; the bees were all busy collecting honey to entertain us. sigh.. they are as busy as bees. We walked around for a few minutes, little do we expect, we were soon sitting on out butts again watching senior citizens throwing iron balls in a game of pétanque until it was time for dinner. what a way to spend a lazy afternoon in France.. but i like.

"the center of the universe."

she gives me a heavy dose of Singapore everytime we meet.

and again

Even after I left the school compound after my last paper, I did not feel the exhilarating exuberance that one usually feel after exams. No crazy screams of joy. No one changing into sport attire for their customary after-exam soccer. Instead, we all retire into our room for an afternoon siesta to prepare ourselves for the long day of lessons that awaits us tomorrow.

relief.

tranquility

It was six o clock in the morning. The air was cool as the morning sun was still hidden behind the peaks of French Southern Alps. The Geneva lake reflected the light tint of blue of the early morning. It was a picture of tranquility. He sat there watching the swans float on the surface of the water occasionally creating soft ripples with an abrupt movement. When one of the swans plunged its head into the water, he wished he could do the same too. Not to look for fishes, but to refresh his head to look for answers.

"quiet reflections" -cj
