Look upwards and find a little tale

Picture 1

“Hold on a minute,” I said, “I want to take a picture of the flower-shaped lights cast by the roof on the floor.”

But there were people walking by. I snapped the roof with its flower-shaped cut-outs that let escaped similarly shaped light shadows on the ground as I waited for the passerby to clear the frame. When he had passed, the flowers were gone too, as the clouds obscured the light.

Picture 2

I was waiting for the family to arrive for a buffet dinner at a hotel. I was in the lounge and spied a many thousand (I exaggerate!) baubles of a chandelier. I sidled to the couch somewhat directly underneath and pretended to be playing with my phone… and then non-nonchalantly snapped a few pictures. I just didn’t want to look like I had never seen a chandelier before :P Muahahahahaha!

Picture 3

Night loo break and short walk with Donna. Leaves lighted up by streetlight. They looked numerous, and yet still lonely in the dark.

Picture 4 and 5

At the petrol station while Mr P was filling up petrol. The light was bright so I couldn’t see the flowers of this blooming tree clearly. No problemo, let’s take a picture and look at it on the screen at a later date. I love blooming trees.

Picture 6

I stepped onto our tiny bedroom balcony, took one look at the sky and went back in for my iPhone.

Picture 7 and 8

Mr P and I were standing on our tiny bedroom balcony waiting for the National Day rehearsal military planes to fly past. We got bored and looked down, studying the construction site below instead. When we looked up again, the blue sky had already been crossed with these streaks of white, marking the passage of those planes that we were waiting for.

“They went past? I thought we would hear them. They usually are very loud, aren’t they?”

“Dear, they are military planes. They have a stealth mode. You can hear them on National Day because they made them loud deliberately.”

Ooops.

Anyway, if you look real carefully in one of the corners, you can see a tiny sliver of the moon.
