Feeling the urge to get attention from passers-by, a black trash bag made its presence at a roadside along a common footpath (from March 2012). Many passers-by would had spotted the black trash bag, but not bothered to have a second look at it. After 1 week under the rain and sun, the black trash bag decided to move to a more prominent location few inches down the road.
After another 2 days of disappointment, the black trash bag decided to make a bolder move by crossing over to the opposite side of the road. The black trash bag seemed happier with the companion of people strolling and jogging by. As the days passed by, the black trash bag stayed lazily at the spot and forgot about its real goal.
After more than 30 days, the black trash bag finally moved off from the memorable spot. Would the black trash bag eventually reach its final dream destination?

① Yesterday Once More

The HDB common area and walk path have become dumping ground for the cleaner, a certain group downstairs and few other bad eggs. Monkeys see, monkeys do. The rubbish and bulk items will eventually accumulate and obstruct the way as the day passes by.
In the morning, the cleaner (the first monkey) would dump bulk items at the common area. I told him to move these bulk items to the bulk area which was just few steps away. Even though the day was still young and bright, his reply was tomorrow. As he turned a deaf ear to my kind advice, I demonstrated to him that it took just few seconds to get the bulk items over to the bulk area.
Before the Chinese New Year (on January 20, 2012), a certain group (the second monkey) celebrated CNY with 8 cartons of Mandarin Oranges, some Huat Kuey (or prosperity cake) and Happy Nut (or pistachio). The aftermath of the occasion was the carton boxes and foods were irresponsibly dumped at the common area till night-time. As another challenge, it took me 1-2 minutes (please excuse me for some photo taking) to clear the mess over to the rubbish area (again just few steps away), and to place the flatten carton boxes inside the recycling bin.
After going around looking for some clues, I found an old message Make Gracious Living Our Way of Life on the notice board, which ironically, was just right next to the messy dumping ground.
