Tonight, I thought about P. I realised that I miss her a lot. I guess we only notice the absence of someone close to us when they step out of our life for a long time. I miss hanging out with her, the long conversations that we had. About our perspectives of the world around us and the values that we hold dear. I miss going for theatre performances/film screenings and concerts with her. I miss travelling with her exploring places of interst. I miss hearing her voice/smile/laughter. I miss....
Perhaps distance makes it more difficult to communicate. Perhaps distance makes it difficult to comprehend how we have evolved and understand the reasons/rationale for our evolution. Perhaps all this make things difficult/uncomfortable at times. And all this means that more effort has to be put in if this relationship is to continue being nutured.
You never know how great an impact someone makes on your life until you realise one day that her departure leaves a void which you attempt to fill, but never is the same again. You try to get on with your life, but are unsatisfied.
Tonight, I went to an acapella performance at the Artshouse. By coincidence, I sat on the same seat which LKY had sat many years ago as PM when Parliament was in session there. it was a good seat because I got a good view of the stage. The most moving performance was by local acapella group Key Element which performed a repertoire of classical jazz, shanghai jazz and ballads.
Had lunch with some friends at Arab Street. Quite nice to be catching up with them and meeting new people. Got to know a bit more about India/Nepal and the history of the Arab Street area.
