Little Things of My Hometown

Never thought much about my hometown since I haven't been staying there since a really young age. However the recent trip back in the recent new year has made me appreciate it more. Realised that the very things that I enjoyed are actually found there...Kinda amazed (& ashamed to some extent) that I had missed it all those years when I visited. Guess that shows how much (or how little) I took note of my hometown.

The little things that I had missed out in the many times of my visit:

1) The night coach back to my hometown made me realised how pretty & brilliant the sky was - one that can never be spotted in Singapore. It was so captivating that I just couldn't take my eyes off the sky even though I was in an awkward position that my neck was kinda strained....At that moment I wished I wasn't on the coach, but lying on the fields that we pass on the way, admiring the dazzling sky...........................

2) Grandma's place is a quite a large compound. Never really ventured further out into the backyard and beyond as I usually prefer the upper floor and the front of the house where it's cooler. By coincidenc, I crossed the personal boundaries this time and spotted the little animals which I could not have, in the urban city in which I'm staying in now. 4 different types of birds which I've never seen before and a squirrel was what I spotted while I was hanging around there for about half an hour. If only I had a good enough camera to capture these spottings.

In the past, I was pretty much neutral, at times even bored to my hometown visits. But I guess with my new sightings, there's more to look forward to the next visit. Hopefully I'd be able to spot the same, if not more on my next venture out into the backyard ;)
