tales from an ordinary world

"i'll always be a dreamin' man
i don't have to understand
i know it's alright."
neil young.

Walking around the Elwood shops for the first time in a long time made me think of two old friends in particular, neither of whom I've kept up with anymore. One seems completely gone, I have no means of contacting him. The other one I have a number for, but I could never find the right time. So just before I crossed the street, I called his phone and left a message - "I've been walking around the Elwood shops, and it made me think of you. It'd be good to catch up some time..." The last time I called him, I was standing in Orchard Road in Singapore last October - I knew he would've got a kick out of knowing that I'd finally made it there. I walked on, overflowing with regret.
