Rain
Todae was cold and wet. It rained almost a whole day (and so do some people's hearts). Teens are scampering around in their windbreakers and cardigans, foreign workers were racing against the little droplets with their bike in hope of searching for shelter, and the elderly were staggering to cross the slippery road without taking note of the red light. Children were drenched hopping on puddles of water on walkways and void decks, and parents were doubtful of whether or not to go to wedding invitations of their relatives and friends in this weather. Vehicles rushed to be parked as soon as their owners could get them too,and the MRT slowed down rapidly even though the station was not yet visible. From the upper storeys, umbrellas were seen moving briskly sheltering their owners from the tiny little droplets. Stray animals were seen squatting at the far end of the block whining, as if they were asking for the rain to stop pouring down.
But I felt that it was lucky that we beings could adapt to these kind of environments that are constantly changing and beyond human control. I was glad to still see families going out of the house in high spirits, n smiles of people in the MRT, chatting, laughing, gossiping, touring, and even cuddling with each other. The world is in fact, lucky.
But sometimes I don't understand people, especially, who are afraid of rain. They despise and critisize rain as if rain was going to make them melt on the floor, be squashed into a tiny pancake, or maybe cause them to be disabled, handicapped or deformed. U might as well go to h.ell, there's no water there =P
My simple messsage is-don't look at rain as an obstruction,look at it as a blessing from God. Can u imagine a case where there is no rain in Singapore and that when it finally comes, the whole lot of people in the country would go out of their houses to celebrate, welcome these droplets onto their bodies,make themselves wet, and feel what God has given u as a blessing. Rain would be more appreciated that way, I personally think.
Anw went 2 my uncle's house jux nw at 1200hr..Passed my late grandma's IC to him as he needs it for something official which i cannot disclose. Oh, and in front of ang mo kio hub jux now, there was a large christmas tree decoration which released foam from the middle branches. They do quite looked like snow from afar. People start rushing to the tree and jumped for joy. Children laughed. Teenagers (chiou bus) wiped foam on each others' faces and snapped pictures. Quite happy seeing them happy. Better enjoy now before its too late to enjoy anymore. =) Made a move at 1800hr, but before reaching home i made my way to the studio and got myself guitar strings! Yay! At the studio all the rooms were occupied, and the owners were playing guitar hero at the counter! WTH. They were playing the song 'Dragonforce-Through The Fire And Flames' and i enjoyed watching them for awhile before i took a bus to the marketplace near my house and bought dinner.
Wen i reached home, this was what i saw:
Jang was like, resting on the sofa and didnt want 2 move. It was wen i opened my pack of hor fun dat he started 2 get up from the sofa and onto the table. My mum picked him up before he could have a nasty taste of my hor fun =P
And in fact, it is still drizzling here in Boon Lay.Hope that the rain continues to be a blessing in the eyes of people.
Soona koto nai...
