With the sudden craving of minestrone(you sure you know how to pronounce this?) soup after i woke at 2, i dragged myself to the nearest ntuc, the one away from central just to get that can of campbell's. Yesh, im not that lazy ok >:D

Anyway its been long since i've been to that part of clementi, it used to be filled with those old,care-free senior citizens sitting around chatting about everything under the sun and kids(my age back then) running around outside the market. And there used to be large crowds buying fruits from this stuckup,proud fruit stall owner. And obviously all these were the things of the past now. The little town is dead. It has this feeling of greyishness, it has this atmosphere where everyone is just doing things slower than usual, where people have nothing to rush for, living their simple lives to the fullest just by, well, probably stoning there, taking 30mins to drink a cup of coffee alone. A sort of freedom some might say, where the outside world, or the real world doesnt exist. Not in a positive way though.

Much has changed. I remember this straight concrete path toward the market, it used to have this huge growth of mimosas, or touch-me-nots as i call it, next to one part of this path. Like every other kid, i use to step and jump on these plants just to watch them close. Sometimes, i would bend down and slowly give it a slight twitch,and then i'll examine closely at the then amazing plant as it slowly closed its leaves. Today, weeds overflow into the concrete path. The lush green mimosa's with those pink flowers have been replaced with untidy pale green weeds ready to dominate and eat into the other side of the path, with no regard with anything on the path, or the plants on the other side.

So what about you, right now, are the pretty mimosas from the past still as green as before, or has the things around you been weedified?
