Careless Whisper

Birds are beautiful creatures. The huge trees at Eunos MRT are home to many, especially the mynas. I've seen a couple of things lately. I saw 8 to 10 mynas gathering on a manhole pecking on the lid. It was after a drizzle in the morning but there wasn't any puddles on the lid, just some fallen withered flowers. Hmm. One afternoon while I was eating, there was a one-legged myna on top of a food stall at eunos. It swooped down to eat the leftovers on the table and pecked on the shell of some sambal prawn. It flew to another table to search for something more edible. It couldn't keep itself stable and kept slipping down beak first while pecking on the food. Then an old lady came and sat near my table. She took out tissue packets and sorted out some stuff in her plastic bag. She nonchalantly threw an empty tissue packet on the floor. A few seconds later she threw out another empty packet on the floor. Then she came to me asking if I wanted to buy tissues. I rather buy a meal for the myna. I have been having headaches every day this week. I'm stressed out with many things. It has been raining lately. That's good. Trees look better when it's cloudy and dark. I love to see the birds drinking water and bathing in the puddles. Yesterday, in the showers I watched a mosquito struggling for its life after getting caught on a spider web. The spider was on the web too, crawling slowly towards it. But it got away. The spider is still there today. I've been hearing the chirps of the blue kingfishers near my kitchen window. There is a crow enjoying the drizzle. It looks brave. And strong.

Yesterday was (:

A special song came up at an opportune moment.
