Jurong At One
i really miss home....especially when i'm at school...but what i really miss, is the air of the place at 1pm...
in case of you who have no idea where i live, i live in Jurong, something like a sub-urban area~just houses and people plus a market...Jurong is in the west side of S'pore, and i stay in the West area of Jurong,any more west and you'll hit Tuas and the Second link to our neighbour Malaysia. so there really isn't much traffic on the road in my area when it isn't peak time.
where i stay, it's really quiet...of course not that there isn't any sound at all...its just that when there is no car going through the road in front of my house, for a second as you look down the road, it feels like you're in a different place, the serenity of the place is calming and it feels like this place belongs to another dimension...
for every car that passes, the silence is broken, but the serenity is enhanced. it leaves a trail of floating leaves as it strolls on. the image of a car going 50km/h down a small two-way avenue is really nice...
leaves from the surrounding trees slowly float down. with a great imagination, you can see sakura petals, orange maple leaves, fresh green leaves. the sky a cool shade of blue, clouds lazily pass through, and even if it rains lightly, it feels like a shower of joy.
people stroll by minding their business, children run back home or to the park, teens chat among themselves...
the entire environment feels like it came out of a story, the story of a boy and his life...
the more i think of it, the more i wanna stay at home....the more i want to be here forever....but i know, there will be a time when i have to move on, but i want to etch this place forever in my heart...
there truely is no place like home....
ps. i just thought of this on the spot, cos since i dropped my previous ccas, i don't have anything to do on friday afternoons but come home. i reached home at around 1.30pm..and it felt so peaceful that i came up with the catch phrase "Jurong at One" and decided to write about it.
