Missing home...

I love  the countryside where I grown up. It is  always lovely to watch the hilly areas around home, the green areas with many trees and colorful with flowers.The sounds of birds singings waking me up in the mornings.

It makes me smile whenever I think of my childhood, sitting at the back of a motobike while my father riding home after school. looking at the sky, and the clouds, imagine myself wandering from one cloud to another. Jumping and dancing  across the gaps between the clouds, and laying  down somewehere look like a bed.

Spending some days in a big city of high technology is not a new experience but feel something missing. Taking MRT to be away from the complexicty of shopping centers. Enjoy myself in a vegetable farm and the charm of the countryside.

My Singaporean friends introduced it as a traditional veggie farm. But I think it is more technology than the farm at home. Similar kinds of veggies but different practices. Farmers here are as kind as farmers at home.

Do not  mind the methods of farming but enjoy being in the places similar to home. A simple place but with a recognition that being with nature is the way of  sustainable living. Technology may be something we enjoy but it will be changing and effecting environment and our livings in many ways.

Got  back to the  city late in the evening, walking along the street, imagine the sun set behind the buildings somewhere. Feeling lonely in the crowd. Missing the beautiful sun set at the end of the rice filed and the shy moon rise up in the sky somewhere near the wood at home. .... Yes, missing home !
