Come Fly with me
Song by Frank Sinatra,
Last week I caught a very bad jam and came to work at 930am. I am trying to be early .. well sometimes late but not that late. It was raining and there was a jam all the way up to the exit near my place - Ave 6 exit towards AYE. I SMS my vet and my colleagues who were kind enough to help me do some of my early morning 'chores'. One of them SMS back - 'MRT still the best!'. Bad news was that when I came in there was a meeting and my boss all the other big shots were there so I walked to the pantry like nothing happen.
My recent hobby is now is kite flying.
A few months ago I brought my wifey and her sister's family to West Coast Park and I flew my Batman kite. I'm surprised that I still have the skill to bring my kite up so high. It brought me back to the days where I was young and fly my kite after school, in front of my house, block 426 Clementi Ave 3. Sigh, those were the days.
I went to West Coast a few times after that ... after work on Fridays. The first time I accidentally let go of the string and the kite flew out of my hand and over this barrier thingie. I went to Toys R Us the next day and bought a similar one - with Batman painted over it. I flew it again on one Friday. It went too high and I think the frame got dismantled cos it went swirling down right unto a tree. Determined not to lose this one , even though it cost only, like the previous one -$3.95, I climbed unto the barrier and try to pull it free. That was not an easy task cos the kite being fragile and all might be damage or worse ... it might go over the barrier again. I shook and shook the tree while yelling, in my heart " Give me back my kite! ". Finally I won the battle. I took my kite out and went home. I just bought another one recently, with an eagle painted on it.
