Waiting 4 Stars 2 Fall

Music: Playlist P2, now playing “All That Remains” by Jesse Cook

Mood: unstable

In my glass: mint tea - will have Merlot later

It’s that time of the year again.... The Perseids. Yep, the sky full of falling stars!! Good chance to make a wish :)

It must be a beautiful show... but alas, there’s no hope to see that happen here; the weather is simply too BAD and.. all those city lights... Wish I was in Death Valley, where I have once seen the most wonderful starry sky ever...

I guess there are always stars falling. We only can’t/don’t see them. I don’t see them.

Had a very surreal night yesterday.

Went out for dinner with a friend, had a nice time.

On our way back to the station, we walk through the station building/shopping mall complex. It’s about 11:30 at night, the arcade is almost empty and very quiet. And there’s a lady in a purple sweater sitting on a small bench, all alone, looking down. Kind of strange, it’s not really a likely place (and time) to meet or wait for somebody. Then we notice she’s actually “working” on a embroidery, highly concentrated on her needlework. It’s a strange and somehow very sad scene.. I mean, that was the atmosphere she was surrounded with. But then... I notice that she’s making an embroidery of... the Big Smurf. OMG,... I had to hurry to get out of there.. because I couldn’t keep myself from bursting out laughing.

Well, I’m almost sure that she’s got a sad and tragic story to tell.... hm, or maybe not... it’s possible that she’s just a fan of Big Smurf... who knows.

Oh but then, I really couldn’t stop laughing...

And now we are on the platform, where my friend is going to take a train to go home.

There are still a lot of people - much more than I would expect at this time on a Sunday night.

Then... we notice a man - I think around 60?? - with a moustache. He’s wearing a skirt... a kind of sarong or wrap skirt with a bright, flowery pattern. When he walks up closer to us, we notice his nails are beautifully... are.. decorated, yes long nails with the “nail art”.

My goodness. I was still laughing because of that needle work lady... and now this.. er gentleman. It’s just too much!!

...And then... there comes a young Dutch (I think so) girl... with a mini skirt. Her dark blue suit reminds me a little of Japanese school uniforms. And yes, she’s carrying a Japanese flag in her hand. Her legs are so pale and white...

Oh my, what a surreal night!

Riding on my bike back home, I couldn’t help laughing... People must have thought: “What a weird woman, scary!”.

Alright, I’m going to pour a glass of Merlot.
