The first time I met her, there was excitement. I heard she’s beautiful, and youthful. And indeed she was. She is.

It was 8 months ago when I first walked with her. Right that moment, I felt her energy. With her, I felt vibrant. She was contagious.

She introduced me to many people. Them who have different styles; polished, edgy, modern, basic, playful, dark, and the like.

From then on, I walk with her on mid-afternoon of weekend. And when it is growing dusk, I bid farewell to her.

But the more I see her, the more I become engaged with her. When I am weary and I feel down, all I need to do is to walk with her again.

She smiles with me when I recall the happy moments in my life. She never gets tired of listening to my worries.  She cheers me up when I miss home. She may not know it, but she is a refuge. She uplifts my spirit. When I am disheartened: at night, I walk with her.

This is Orchard for me. Not just a dynamic street for style and fashion, she is also a companion.

Along came her. Along came Orchard.
