I stepped out of my home for the first time since I returned to Singapore this evening. I noticed quickly that everyone I passed looked stressed out. I could smell their anxiety. When I entered the mall that I frequent, I found the lights glaring and the crowds overwhelming. Everybody is walking too fast, looking at their phones while walking and impatient when waiting in line at the cashier. The cashier too seems to be trying to beat her own record for scanning barcodes and bagging goods. At least...It's really clean here (??)  It is  beautiful and tragic how a place can be both sterile and incredibly stuffy at the same time. I am so tired tonight.
