fireworks festival

there's always something captivating about fireworks. i think the ephemeral beauty of flowers blooming in the sky is almost unreal, and reminds of childlike fantasy. the fireworks display at marina bay wasn't exactly up to expectations. but beautiful nonetheless.

ky and ks came down despite short notice, and i'm thankful. we decided to have supper while the crowds wrestle their way to public transport. i had charsiew-rice at my favorite foodcourt, between silly talk and chuckles at nothing in particular.

by the time we left, the crowds had thinned considerably. music was still pumping from somewhere in esplanade, and pockets of people were still lazing in the open spaces wherever sitting is possible. i find comfort in seeing happy people gathered in groups doing nothing, i dunno why.

and so, everything feels much better.
