A (or 3) rainbow(s) for AC


(late blog)- 16-07-2005
A studying session in the heaven turned into a colourful spectrum and experience today. In my earphones, my ipod played on random. My pen scribbling against my hyrdo case studies notes. Next to me was Dree, Tim and Yong Xi. The Orange sun glared down upon the Barker Team playing against Springfield in the field. Slowly, I smelt a mild sensation of water in the air. Rain.
I hate such weathers. I am a person who marvels at extremities and naturally, I love rain storms. But today was different. Slowly, I felt rain drops splattering upon the back of my neck massaged by the Sun. I hate such naturally wild juxtapositions of rain and Sun. sometimes, I even feel as if God is unable to make up his mind what weather to have, resulting in this disgusting paradoxes.
As Tim and YX got hyped up shouting for the Barker team below, I tried to focus on the Aswan notes by glaring up the volume. Then I looked up. There, through the mix of rain and sun, I could see the rainbow.
Subtly at first, then the contast and spectrum sets in. A beautiful rainbow.Then 2. Then 3. It was so clear.
I could even see the foot of it ending in the Tennis courts. ( Tim and I even tried to look for leprechauns and the pot of gold but it all failed. Slick little green men, they were on to us)
I placed down my ear phones, and remembered how Yong Xi asked me eralier whether I wanted to host guitar ensemble concert next week with Dree. I looked at the rainbow and reflected.
My life has been going through a whole lot of rough weather lately. I have been confusing responsibilities with likings, duties and glories, obedience and defiance, friendship and love. I'm not really sure what happened. Maybe it was the time I spent in US that cleared my mind, maybe it was my absence that made things seem better, maybe it was you finding out my perspectives. I do not know what was it exactly that caused all these changes for the better, but I am glad for them. I treasure friendship.
As the orange Sun set into the evening, I thought about it all. The rainbow has long faded but its triple impression on me hasn't. I like my life as it is and I thank God for it and the rainbows, the rainstorms, the Sun, the annyoing-rain-and-sun and everything included in the package. Yeah, alrght. I don't mind emceeing for the concert.
