26 August 2006
A little girl had been shopping with her Mom in Target. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful red haired, freckle faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the earth it has no time to flow down the spout. We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Target.
We waited, some patiently, others irritated because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child came pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day.
The little voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in, "Mom, let's run through the rain," she said.
"What?" Mom asked.
"Let's run through the rain!" She repeated.
"No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Mom replied.
This young child waited about another minute and repeated, "Mom, let's run through the rain."
"We'll get soaked if we do," Mom said.
"No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," th! e young girl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm.
"Thi! s mornin g? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?"
"Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, 'If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!'"
The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life. A time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith.
"Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If God let's us get wet, well maybe we just needed washing," Mom said.
Then off they ran. We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and yes, through the puddles. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars.
And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.
Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they can take away your money, and they can take away your health. But no one can ever take away your precious memories... So, don't forget to make time and take opportunities to make memories everyday. To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven.
I HOPE YOU STILL TAKE THE TIME TO RUN THROUGH THE RAIN.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.
Take the time to live!!!
Keep in touch with your friends, you never know when you'll need each other -- and don't forget to run in the rain!

Assalamualaikum
Hey ho...Im bored...and i should be studying.Only like covered very little today as there were alots alots of distractions at home.Yesterday dint do any mugging at all.
Anw anw...this morning...heard some drama show on the radio cos my mom was listening to it. Quite nice.
About some family drama.
It made me realise something though.
People who realise or know that they are good and they are bound to make mistakes,
they would obviously want to constantly improve or correct themselves by
not making any of the mistakes in the first place.
in other words-wanna be sort of PERFECT.
What ive learnt from the drama was all the basic messages that i guess the producer of the show wants to convey, like u know...family, love and stuffs.
But i guess it made me think even more that there can never be a perfect life, and thus,
we cannot really avoid ALL possibilties of making mistakes.
Perfect people would try their best not to make ANY SINGLE mistake at all.
Being happy is not about that.
Being happy is to learn and correct situations by forgiving and so on AFTER u make mistakes.
Ok this post about the show and the moral thing.
Its not coming out right like how i wanted to.
IM gonna try again...lets see...
In life, we are bound to make mistakes.
I think some people put in EFFORT to avoid making mistakes.
things may turn into something ugly while trying to avoid
OR
things might be ok...
So theres no point trying to avoid the inevitable.
While some people...
IF they realise that they did wrong.
They apologise, make amends.
And those whom being apologised, forgive.
And the one who did wrong made EFFORT to correct.
And in the end things are still OK...
And make these people better persons.
What im trying to say is that the second journey might be alil bit harsh.
VERY i should say.
But its like...difficulties first, then ease.
and plus things turn out to be ok or even BETTER.
I dunnoe if u guys get it or not.I guess things like this can only be REALiSEd
through self reflection...
enjoice!!!

Hihi im here again.Im so freaking bored.I had been very busy. BUt today is a holiday and when i actually have the time, i am just not in the mood to blog or rather, they are all forgotten.
HAHA!!
Well what can i say. I am a very forgetful person. I am running out of snacks to munch on. Yeah and i woke up late today because i was tired having a conversation the night before for like 3 plus hours. Catching up on OLD and NEW stuffs. If u know what i mean. No you do not know what i mean. Only the person i talked to knows. And yeah well had a visit from my aunt and uncle. Nice to have some company once in a while. Then ate breakfast at like 12+. Pretty much just watched some malay shows on suria and then quickly got hold of my laptop and connected it to the cable as soon as my brother left for work. Then have been chatting and trying to do the report. My friends are always doing things last minute and PREFERS to do it ONLINE at nite when usually i cannot do that. Haiz. Then mum cooked nice chicken dish. And i get bored. Walked around the house. Get to my laptop. GEt bored again. Go the kitchen. PEEled the durian and ate it(mom bought like one whole big basket of it yesterday). Then got bored again. Then ate some durian again. Oh man...i just hope i do not get sick again. I am having my exams soon man.
Sometimes u realise what you are
You would want to try to change
But not knowing what exactly what to do
or how to start going about correcting it
It is not special
You are not special
Why am i that weak
Am i that low to be disrespected like that
One people, One nation, One Singapore
Thats the way that we will be
forever more...
haha...nice song.Remembered singing it in primary school. Missed those times.

Wee!! Its national day today which means holiday duhhh!! Happy birthday to you singapore!
I hope prosperity and peace keep dominating this country.
It hurts everytime
Its like a stab to the heart
The worst part is that it is torturing
To get stabbed and not die
Having to live with the pain

IM now sitting at the clubhouse alone as i finished class early as my lecturer cancelled his 2+1 hours of lessons today. Then brought forward the later class. So here i am.
Well the mugging for an chem was OK considering ive declined in the interest but tphm was like okok...if u wanna know what my ok or okok means...it means its terrible...USUALLY. But i was proud of myself for revising for anchem.
For tphm it was lousy cos it was like the weekend and it was like 10 mins reading the notes and then like 2 hours of television and then like 1 hour of delaying the time and half hour of eating snacks or finding them.
Well the tphm test was terrible i tell ya.I mean im not totally clueless but i had some doubts which hinder alot of stuffs. That means im gonna fail. An chem just now was even worst although i know what i was doing. An chem is such a tedious module and i hate it just because of that. Well not really against it.Maybe there is...because or Mr. Chong my first year lecturer who cursed me to fail ICBE which is like the BASIC of anchem.
Well anyways i finally get to blog because during the weekend when i was at home dint get connection. Sucks to just watch tv although. I mean not really lah.
Finally like after 3 long weeks of competition...get to finally sit down/lay on the sofa to enjoy my favourite cartoons like one piece and masked rider 555. Im still a kid. So what. I love tv. I mean i do not really NEED it like how i need air, but i watch television.
BALANCE or AVERAGE...(for someone)
i do not do too much of a certain stuffs even though i like it. I try to balance it out. Even though doing GOOD stuffs.
TOo much of a good thing MAY be a bad thing.
Well what else do i want to say...while killing time...
Maybe ill write down some of my thoughts later on again...
