Swingin' to the Stars

Have got some time to kill before SY, XL and Dawn come over to work on the GP presentation. So here I am blogging.

Anyway yesterday my whole family went to Changi for dinner with my uncle. It's this restaurant right by the beach and very near the airport. So we were dining by the sandy shores al-fresco and reaching out to touch the bellies of airplanes that flew by. The sea breeze was strong and after downing my sarsi-float I was ready to freeze. Haha. But the ambience was niceee. The food commendable too.

After dinner my uncle and dad stayed to chat, while me and my three bros went over to the playground nearby. Yep, it's the kind of fully-equipped playground which'd put those neighbourhood ones to shame. For instance, it had a grand total of eight swings. And three slides. And other stuff to hone your arm/leg muscles with. In other words, it was play paradise.

So of course the first thing we did was to rush to the swings. I suggested competing who'd be able to swing the highest, and on my cue we took off. I kicked with all I was worth and felt myself being elevated through the crisp night air. It wasn't until my bros gave cries of protests that I realised I'd reached a considerably high altitude. HehehZ. Try as they might they'll never be able to beat me ('cos of our weight disparities =P). And so they were protesting and complaining, and I ended up giving tips on how to swing higher. Like it'd work... >< But we did have a reallyyyyyyy fUn time at the playground. Ahh... gone are the days where we used to climb all over the old playground (which no longer exists now) near our home. *Strokes beard and reminisces*. Haha. =P

I kicked with my might,
And soared to the heavens
Where the starry lights
Had the darkness driven.
How I wonder what they are,
Pinpricks in a sea of black.
But isn't it called a pretty star,
Calming you when you're a wreck?

Oh, and the stars were really prominent and pretty too. =)
