yes, that kind of feeling

today, i went into shop n save for the first time although it's been in my neighbourhood for the longest time. for some reason, something surged in my heart as i stepped into the shop. a sense of wonder? a sense of comfort? i can't say. but those feelings made me linger a little longer in the shop. i felt that i had all the time in the world to explore the place. was it because it was a cool late afternoon where i didn't have to rush anywhere? or was it because i felt good after a great session with howe jun earlier? after making the purchase, i left the shop and tried to put a finger to what i felt. as i walked, little by little, it dawned on me. it's somewhat like a sense of having discovered something new in an old neighbourhood. and so... where does this sense lead to...? oh yah, it's a little like discovering something new about an old friend. at each meet up, with every sharing, you find yourself lingering a little longer in each other's company. you wonder why you didn't know about those new things earlier. no sense of hurry but taking the time to sip that cup of tea or coffee. comfortable. yes, that kind of feeling.
