it's sad how we always get carried away looking at the bigger(and supposely more breathtaking) sights and miss the little things that are just as amazing. i took this picture at one of the blowholes(heh forgot where exactly) i visited 2 weeks ago. (i know it seems like a really long time ago, but then again u know how i love to procrasinate.)i love the rainbow formed whenever the blowhole goes into full force. it's so tiny u will most likely miss it if u dont pause to take a second look. but when u do, u start to appreciate how intricate nature can be. and the beauty of little surprises in life.

reminds me a lot about what im going through now. it's been so crazily busy,that i havent really got the time to stop, rest and think about the many wonderful things happening to me. it's barely the first week of school, but ive been so overwhelmed with the tons of projects that ive been tasked to do, so awed by the things im taught at uni now(which means i no longer get to press the calculator and get easy answers like i did for the past 14years of my life) and the really good drawings by my tutorial mates. but admist all these, ive learnt to see the tiny rainbow in each waterblast.

ive grown closer to a few originally "hi/bye" friends(with my whining of cos :P), ive learnt to be more confident through the many drawing lessons that ive been struggling through(and bit by bit my shoe drawing looks more like a shoe now:P), i've become a little more comfortable saying hi to random people and making friends out of everyone i meet in uni who happens to sit next to me or looks in my direction(ha ok exaggeration), i'm appreciating the fact that i finally get tann-er, i'm enjoying a cool breeze when i walk home after a long-drawn day at uni, and as sapped as i am, im learning to even look at the plants around me now and seeing how their many varieties contrast sharply with singapore's plain old raintrees and bougaenvillas (: haha do i sound ever so neerrdy in the last statement?

but really, if i were to get carried away with the big things that happen to me, i will be so overwhelmed now and whining to every single person i see(ha ok i still whine but jus not as much).

but when i pause to think, these little rainbows come back into my mind's eye and add so much colour that it's hard to find fault with the blowhole's blasts that without which,the rainbows wouldnt even have formed.

Mr perfect/miss imperfect

Instead of waiting for the perfect one, work at being the perfect one instead. These words roll off the tongue with ease like a familiar jingle. Yet the former holds an appeal tt the latter can never achieve.could it be, that at the end of the day, we are, in fact, more aware of reality than we realise? The former, perhaps, more achievable than the latter?

pro-cras-in-a-tion.

one of those moments when i get distracted from the task at hand, oh the joys of the internet. i dont know what catches my eye more, the light, the subtle suggestions of melting shadows, or an unadulterated expression of love, that comfortable lingering silence in company?

a random post because i feel randomly happy

people who know me best probably would have known how much i hate it when i oversleep.it has this strange sort of domino effect on my day and everything just ends up in shambles at the end of it all. it's really a bad emotional habit of mine that im learning to change and to try to entrust every single day to God(despite and in spite of the fact that things dont go the way i planned them to) but yeah, so i was really surprised that today wasnt as bad as i had imagined it to be:) i was supposed to head down for ocf's first bible study at 10 but guess what, i kept snoozing my alarm clock and i guess somewhere along the way, i accidentally pressed the button to switch it off. i ended up waking at 11 instead(am i a pig or what) and realised that the guys were waiting for me for the past half an hour and consequently caused the bible study to start half an hour late:/ gosh i still feel super apologetic and guilty about it. but anyway, on with my story, since i couldnt make it for oc...
