Carlton Gardens
i felt like taking a walk. but the city is so busy, it makes me sick. so i decided on carlton gardens. it's been a long time since i last went there for a walk anyway.
it must be getting warmer already, because the possums are beginning to reappear. i saw at least 20 today. and i got confronted by one. now, if you frequent carlton gardens at night, you would have noticed that possums are usually non-confrontational and generally prefer to leave humans alone. but this one possum approached me instead of running away. i thought it would go away but NO! su went from gungho to scared. i just encountered a very brave animal.
apart from possums and sueewongs, i found out that owls also hang out in the park. they do NOT look friendly at all.
so i walked...and i walked...i sang...sat on the swing.......disturbed some couples' peace.......checked out drunk medical students walking out from the ball in exhibition building.....used the park's toilet.......
and finally after 3 hours of solitude, home beckoned.
go home go home, said the cold and numb brain. but where i truly want to be, the heart knows better.
