Day 1
I woke up at 1pm to an empty house. My parents had gone out to inspect the new house and to collect the keys. Lunch was on the table but I was too lazy to eat. Plonked in front of my computer, i began to surf aimlessly and chatted with my pal Weroy Wooly Wolf. WAhahahah!
Spent the afternoon absolutely bumming and vegging in front of the computer and telly. There is this Korean drama serial when I turned on the black box. There was a scene where the guy told the girl that he will always be there to shelter her from the rain and he's only a pager call away. *swoons* ooooohhhhhhh... then the scene changes, guy A was telling guy B (they are brothers and guy B happens to be the girl's fiance) that he should never let the girl cry let alone be drenched in the rain. No prize for guessing that guy A happens to be in love with the girl too.
Anyway, that got me thinking about rain and shelter. A couple of days ago, I was reading my friend's blog, with an entry titled 'He and She - Umbrella'. The entry was written entirely in mandarin and I thought it was a beautifully written piece. Ever stop in your tracks on a rainy day and look around you? I did (not on a heavy downpour day of course!) and the feeling is surreal. I've seen anxious mothers edging the umbrella closer to their child's side, whilst subjecting half their body to the rain willingly. I'm sure parents make greater sacrifices than this. Couples snuggling close to each other sheltering from the rain together, symbolic of a sense of togetherness braving the trials and tribulations as one. And of course, people looking totally disgruntled with the rain, grumbling of the hassle of it all to carry an umbrella, or worst still to be caught unprepared and ended up soaking wet. Rain can be a damper indeed, but don't you find the air a lot more refreshing and fresher after a shower? I like how the air smells after a downpour. It felt like God had ordered a spring cleaning to rid the filth and foul. It felt right and nice. And comforting.
And on a totally different note, I had my eyebrows trimmed/plucked today so I am feeling a tad awfully good about myself. And lookies what I got today...
The prelude to My Sassy Girl.
k doks, I'm gonna go watch this now. Laters!
