it's friday, almost marking the end of the one week break.

there wasn't much time for relaxing. reaching home late every night while the nxt day, have to leave home early. haha for a couple of days, i couldn't even wake up and literally jumped off my bed upon realization of the time. mm i rmb on wed evening as i travelled from sch after a long project discussion n compilation of a 8000-word report, i saw a rainbow. a huge and really beautiful rainbow spreading across the sky. then, it was all that was needed after a long day to bring a smile onto my face. the last time i see a rainbow was at least 4 yrs ago, an artificial rainbow created on a hockey pitch while i was a spectator cheering for the vjc hockey girls team. the last time i saw a real rainbow was definately many many yrs ago till i can't even rmb when. then, all i thought of was how beautiful it was. then, i wouldn't have mind finding a huge space to sit and just watch it. i took notice of it from boon lay till chinese garden till i can't see it anymore.

haha i can't describe how happy i was at seeing it. not amazed by it. but simply cos it literally means rainbow after a downpour. no matter how heavy the rain may have been, no matter how much trouble it may have created to the people caught in the rain earlier, i guess upon seeing the rainbow, to me, everything earlier was worth it. i nv exactly like raining weathers when i m being caught in one, though i don't mind watching it from home. well i guess that rainbow kind of gave me motivation to continue walking, to continue striving on. after a downpour, there may be something beautiful at the end of the road that is worth all the wait. it doesn't and wouldn't occur every occassion, cos there must be a mix of elements appropriately, cos it is usu after an exceptionally long and heavy downpour. nonetheless knowing that someday it might appear again.

thur was the only day i have to spend most time at home. this time, though i could have slept late, yet surprising i couldn't be back sleeping once my alarm clock rang at 7am. opened my eyes and all i think of was running. haha somehow the urge that day was exceptionally strong, washed up changed and off i went. beathing in the morning breeze, it was an excellent start to the day. though throughout the day, i had so many errands to run from my parents that i accomplished nth much of my work. wells, at least, i was well rested despite having tuition on my only rest day.

on hand, i still have another research paper not started, presentation slides not done, readings for 304 uncompleted, passport not updated, but holidays are still holidays. let's enjoy them. everything will fall in place eventually. sometimes a break is necessary to break away from the norms of daily life :) live life the way you want it. only then, would it be a fulfilling one.
