Peek

Below the Layers, a surprise awaits. Peek.

Sometimes I do wish that I could mark the passing of the year with the seasons, how the leaves change colour, fall and grow again, how the soothing summer breeze gives way to the frosty winter winds. In Singapore, our changes in season are more subtle. If we pause long enough, we do notice that the December monsoon rains have given way to the cool dry breezy days that are January and February; and that the blazing heat of March to June is just round the corner. Subtle Changes. But the subtle does evoke, like how the novelty of a childhood snack marks the transition from child to adult. Soon there will be another Comex, soon it will be the Great Singapore Sale, soon we will get called, soon it will be Christmas again. If only we look hard enough; we might be pleasantly surprised.
