Have you looked up the sky lately?

The bookshop had its first ever 20% off all books from 6 - 9 last night. It was announced just before noon and supposedly to catch most people off-guard. And they were. Many friends could not make it. But Neighbour came! It was a real pleasant surprise. Nothing warms the heart like spotting a friend amidst a crowd of strangers :)

20% is a big deal for me too! Bought myself a book (possibly the fifth book in the past week). Occupational hazard, it is!

I enjoy going to my pastor's house for church meetings on weekday nights for there is the bonus of looking at the moon and the stars. For some reason, it is very clear from his house.

Have also been walking to Singapore River after work to sit by the river and look at the sky the past week. Love watching Luna change her mood while the stars keep to their positions loyally each day. The symphony of the sky makes sweet euphony for the soul.

Now that I am properly equipped with 'The Stars' book, there is all the more reason to look up. Do too!

and lead us from this world to another.'
