looking back

I wake up to the tapping on the door
pulling myself off the bed
getting ready for the day

Life is healthily slow just like its traffic
moving along at a moderate speed
never rushing but always constant

Cameras trying to capture every golden moment
clicking away in the midst of the bustling crowds
oblivious of the amused stares around

Just like a kid in front of a candy store
I was standing in awe of my surroundings
spoilt by the prospect of each choice with every decision i make

The heat was cooled off with papayas
using every imaginable recipes in the books
but still blood came trickling down my nose

The days are short while the nights are long
and the mint was killing my tongue
but good thing there were chewing gums

There is too much to say but too little time
something which i wish there was more in a day
all in all it was a good time spent
