Yesterday after work, i was walking hastily to Paya Lebar MRT, as i was late for an appointment. Its all becos of the irritating traffic jam along the way, and the usual peak hour crowd....shucks...anyway, like i said, as i was making my way to the train station, i looked up into the sky, and i sucked in my breath suddenly...u must be thinking tat something's wrong with me...but no, i was overwhelmed, becos i was taken in by the sunset sky! It was such a breath-taking view tat i wished i had more time to jus stand there for a while and enjoy...
No doubt tat there was no beach in sight, no mountains, no lakes to compliment the already beautiful sky...only industrial buildings, which photographers won't exactly call it scenenic, but to me, it was jus wonderful, the sky was coloured with purplish, reddish and orangy streaks! I was cursing under my breath for not haveing the camera with me at tat point in time.
As i carried on my way to the train station, i was thinking tat its so seldom tat we get to really appreciate mother nature anymore....nobody ever stops to smell the flowers...well, i guess, this could be due to the lack of attractive flowers we have in singapore, except the botanic gardens... but ever so often, we are so preoccupied with work, studies, commitments, money, achievements...tat nothing else matters... I personally think this is sad, cos the awesome beauty tat God has created are meant to be awed at, meant to be appreciated, jus meant for us to bask in the wonders of such scenery. And i believe we should make time for tat more often, get away from the hectic life for a while, away from all tat stress, and jus relax and enjoy the view... In fact i personally feel tat it also comes as a good time to get our loved ones to sit somewhere and enjoy the scenery together, spending time together, jus think about life, about sentimental memories...its theraputic definitely!
Sometimes i envy those who are living in the rural areas of other countries...firstly, life is more relaxed, secondly, they get to enjoy mother nature all the time! And i think they live longer...sigh...i guess living in urban areas and rural areas each have pros and cons, there can never be a perfect life, as wat my dad always say, this is GOD'S GIFT OF COMPENSATION.
Okie, tonite it seems tat i'm gonna meet up with a number of my secondary school classmates tat i have not met in decades! I dunno whether to anticipate it, or to dread it, cos after all...i really dunno wat to expect...but i guess, i will only know it tonite!! Okies...gotta work! Sux! Oops...i shouldn't complain...
