Staring at a star studded sky...

, , 17 comments
I stopped short on my tracks. Looking at the nearly-clear, rainless sky, I saw, for the first time in Singapore, a beautiful sky - the most beautiful one I have ever seen here. Brilliant, bright stars, and a naughty one twinkling and smiling at me! I kept looking up and walking, mindless of where I was going.
Who made the universe so beautiful???
Thanks, Corbis, for the picture.

Oh.... u make me jealous!!

I luv stargazing, but it is always cloudy here :( Even if it is not cloudy, the bright city lights make it almost impossible to see many of the not-so-bright stars :(

star-gazing, cloud-gazing .... any activity which requires me to lie back on my back for long periods lists highly on my list of all time fav. actvities .... unlike u, it's physically impossible for me to look up and walk at the same time .... being the klutz i am, probably would end up with a broken leg or even worse a broken neck ..... which would require me to lie on my back for copious amounts of time on a hospital bed ... hmm, come to think of it ... tat doesn't sound too bad either ... *grin*

p.s. what were u doing on the running track .... tot u abhored any sorta physical activities ??? *wink* am listening to snow patrol's "chasing cars" while writing tis ... try to check out the track ... not too shabby ....

Beautiful isn't it? Everytime I feel like gazing I just need to step outta my home. (me live in the 15th flr) The thing is most times, I get carried away and end up missing people whom I'm not supposed to miss. Bleargh.

Hope you have a good weekend.
