Laughing on The Train
There came many failed attempts to read of late. Murakami's Dance Dance Dance and Norwegian Wood failed to get my feet moving in rhythm. Simon Tay's Alien Asian started out fresh but ended up plodding along with his typical Asian observations in America without any beauty in his words. Was disappointed and prepared to renounce reading for this season until I picked up Anthony Burgess' short excerpt of his auto-biography - Childhood.
With that, I was enraptured. Reading on the train and laughing to myself. And all of a sudden, Singapore doesn't feel so lonely anymore. I've found my companion.
