It has been 6 years since I left secondary school. It was the celebrated end to the lazy early morning get-ups. Something most of us dread the most in our school days. But today, I realised, the early morning is actually the most interesting part of the whole day! Today, I decided to not listen to my mp3 as I covered the 10 minute walk to newton bus stop but the lack of sound blasting into my ears was not missed because...the birds were singing! Seriously, they were! It was so..melodious? I can't even think of a better word to describe it. It was so serene, I actually stopped in my track to listen.

It was like they were in a choir group taking turns to sing in different pitches. I t was like "cheep cheep cheep" in one end and in the other, it was "CHEEEEEEPPPP! CHEEEEPPP!!!!" "cheep CHEEEP cheeeppppppPPP" know what I mean?

Strange that I never really paid much attention to such a detail in the past month and even years! If you are an early riser and have yet to notice this, go listen!! It actually makes your day because I am actually not feeling sleepy at the moment because I feel happy and somewhat, (as weird as it sounds) feel that I have sort of connected with nature today and it somehow has a soothing, healing effect on me. Seriously! The cool breeze of the early morning, the silence (compared to what you hear in the rush hour period) and then in the midst of them all, the songs of the birds. =) I am already looking forward to waking up early tomorrow!
