A Blast from the Past
Your trip to nowhere brought these scenes back, in a flash….
East Coast Park, blue skies, aged 18:
Walkman, music to the ears
Bicycle wheels whizzing to the sound of
Michael Franks, Stephen Bishop
Down past Big Splash
Up to Bedok Jetty
Salt in the air, salt in the lungs
Salt in the eyes
Waves crashing on the breakwater
Changi Airport, rainy day, aged 19:
Planes taking off
Runway blues
Hands fumbling to dial
Heart in mouth
One hour later
Disengaged
Flight of fantasy
Singapore, two a.m., aged 20:
Two friends, one car
Competition and camaraderie
Convertible with top down
Wind through the hair
Everything But The Girl
playing on loop
ECP to PIE
PIE to TPE
TPE to SLE
SLE to KJE
KJE to BKE
BKE to PIE
PIE to AYE
AYE to ECP
Prata and kopi peng
Ten cigarettes later
Home alone
