Alien in a foreign land..

Thought hard on the best possible way to reach Marina Square for the sports club gang dinner.. PIE, CTE, Lavendar Road, Sims Ave..blah. Settled on the the CTE route via balestier. An interesting sight caught me whilst making the lane filter to balestier road. Under an old angsana tree, a dark skinned man stood with palms placed in a "praying" sorta manner. Indeed, he appeared like he was praying to a typical chinese red alter placed under a mysterious tree.

Didn't seem like a local to me..his outfit and all. More like a foreign worker. for a spilt moment after the sight, i felt his alienation in a foreign land. the need to seek faith, help or whatsoever luck from a diety or higher being, away from his homeland. mebbe we all do need that bit of faith somehow from above...
