Resplendent River

Last weekend was perfect. After spending many prior weekends in social settings with family and friends, we decided to spend some quiet quality time bonding as ourselves, with no one else but each other.

We descended to the Singapore River for an early dinner and a rejuvenating walk - imbuing ourselves with the gentle golden light of the setting sun, feeling the placid balmy breeze caressing our faces.

There is something very mesmerising and captivating about ambling beside the river - almost magical, somehow. The tranquillity, the stillness, the invisible presence of generations long before us, toiling on the same river. I stood beside it, indulging in a few moments of serenity and silence, marvelling at the surrounding peace and subtle contentment of others strolling alongside the river.



The Bees - hand in hand - sauntered vivaciously alongside the river, peering into its muddied depths and clambering up the colourful Alkaff Bridge in pure exhilaration.



The resplendent, shimmering light of the setting sun was breathtaking and bewitching, elevating our spirits to a higher plane. The ambience seemed more expansive, more enchanting with tangerine light that resonates through all our beings. Glorious.
