Suddenly I felt transported back in time to the early 1980's. I'm seated on one of the cold stone benches at the flats at the Holland Village area...it's night and there isn't anyone else in sight. The families living in the 3-room flats are in their houses, watching TV, sleeping....I'm seated on the cold stone benches, looking up at the dim orange street lights, listening to the night insects and the distant sounds of the TV programmes from the residents. It's quite drak but I don't feel any sense of fear or danger. There is a light breeze in the air. I sit and enjoy the breeze as I swing my feet gently...It's such a peaceful feeling...I'm a little wistful sitting there thinking of my childhood...thinking of everything and anything...
Leslie's voice can really take me to places...
I only wish there was a way in which we can share our thoughts. I will take you with me to the places that I go to in my thoughts, let you feel the peacefulness, the whole ambience of the place, let you understand what I mean through the experience and in turn, I have some company in those thoughts and there is someone sitting next to me on that cold stone bench.
