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.

it's strange how you know the holidays are here when most of your friends start disappearing. perhaps having had the burden of meeting datelines removed, it's that sudden increase in spare time that makes that wistfulness well up in you even more.

something my friend said today that struck me. "well, it's good for us as christians, cos at least we know that God has already prepared that special someone for us." such faith that sometimes i simply dont have the courage to have. maybe if i knew for sure that say at 21 im going to get a guy that loves me for who i am and with whom im hopelessly in love with, maybe i would have been more confident of what to expect, of who i am, and of my faith. but thinking again, then that probably isnt faith anymore. surprisingly i came across this statement today. "faith is one that hands everything to God, confident in his character and purposes rather than our answers." how apt. faith is more than believing that every story will have a fairy tale ending, rather it's believing in the writer of the story that he will give each story a well ended conclusion.

a song, any song.

cruel to be kind - letters to cleo one of those songs that still dont make sense to me even though i read the lyrics a million times over. but i love it nonetheless, perhaps because of the smile that creeps onto my face everytime i think of the sweet scene between patrick verona and kat stratford in 10 things i hate about you . there's just something about romantic shows that always seem to get me, no matter how cheesy these moments might seem on hindsight.
