Where are the shadows?
This is the final week of exams, and today is the second last day of the exam period. i will be having my final paper tomorrow. If it's not obvious, it also translates into majority of the Uni students having ended their examinations some time ago...some a few weeks ago, some a few days ago, and some just a few hours ago...only a minority of us are stuck at home digging into that pile of books and notes....
I walked to Uni this morning at around 11 to consult my lecturer about some lecture content..as I walked through Uni, I felt so much at peace with myself. There wasnt a single person on the big grass patch that I normally walk pass...Absolutely no one. And for the 1st time in this semester, the chirping of the birds high up on the trees were so audible. I liked the tranquility. I liked the cold wind blowing gently at my face. I knew I was communing with nature. I stopped for a while, closed my eyes and just enjoyed this rare moment of peace...
I was immersed into my own thoughts. How wonderful this feeling is, I told myself. Perhaps this is the kind of environment that I really like....no one, just nature...no words, but the rustling of the leaves and chirping of birds....
How golden the moment was....
