The sky is only as big as the window

Remember the frog in the well story? I think the frog and I have something in common. (No, it's not the colour.)
To the frog, the sky is only as big as the circumference of the well. To me, the sky can only be as wide as the mrt's windows. Travelling along the NorthEast line towards Jurong East, one can get quite an amazing view of the horizon. The sky suddenly seems so wide, stretching across miles and miles of land. (ok, some exaggeration here). Freedom.
There are no high rise flats or some big assed office towers blocking the view. It's just those 2-storeys factories (which u can hardly see fm ur seat anyway), trees and sky. Then you can spot the silhouette of some buildings in the distance (which lao yan and I thought MIGHT have been M'sia's).
I wonder when I can jump out of this concrete jungle and really enjoy the sky without being separated by a piece of glass.
