A walk in the rain
I nv tot my habits were weird. Really, because I believe everything I do and own and accomplish are of the most ordinary things in life. I am the most ordinary person on earth. The one staring out of the window in the bus. The one sitting next to you listening to her MP3, totally oblivious to her surroundings.
Apparently my frens do not tink the same way as me. They tink I have weird habits.
One of the weirdest one I have, is my love for walking in the rain. DUN link wif the fact that I am totally in love with singer RAIN, coz it's two different matter. My habit of walking in the rain started pretty young. Bout when I was 11 i tink, or probably slightly older..can't rem the exact date.
I remembered I was upset that day. When I was young, my parents were constantly quarrelling. Talks of divorce brought up more than 5 times during those yrs. I used to tell them, "Send me to the orphanage, I dowan to hafta choose anyone." I remembered I was so sick of my parents' bickering, I just opened the door and went out.
It was a huge downpour that day. I remembered coming out of the lift and not knowing where to go. So I just step out in the rain. I faced the sky, close my eyes, and told myself in my heart "Dun let my parents quarrel anymore." I still remember the feel of the heavy drops of rain that day. I opened my eyes and continue walking. I din noe where I was walking to actually, I was just walking ard the block I guess. I sat down at one of the benches and just...stare out into space. I was just spacing out in the heavy downpour. The next thing I noe was when I walked back to the lift of my block, I was drenched thru and thru. Water was dripping down from my hair, my shirt, my shorts. But I felt so good. When I walked into the lift, I stared at my reflection and I luffed. I felt so light, so good, so relieved. I went home, had a warm bath and went to bed. I only remember waking up feeling so fresh, so energised. Totally prepared to embrace any challenges thrown in my face.
I dunno why, but my mum used to tell me, when I was young, I would always sit at the balcony whenever it is raining outside. I will sit and stare and stare and stare. I love the smell of the air when rain is arriving. I used to tell my sister :" I can smell the rain! it's coming!" and she will tell me I am crazy LOL. Now u all noe why I like to tok so much when I am with my frens? Coz the pple at home never like to listen to me. They tink I am noisy LOL.
Anyway, ever since that day, I started to look forward to rainy days. My mum used to tink I am crazy..coz I always go :" Ma! Going down for a while hor!" Then she will see a drenched duck walking through the door bout 20 min later XD
That's my weird habit. I derive happiness from walking in the rain. Especially if I am in a lousy mood, I will look forward to the gloomy skies and a heavy downpour. To me, raindrops wash away my unhappiness for me. Maybe coz I really love the after-scene of a heavy downpour. The grass looks superbly green, the air smells super nice and the atmosphere is so cooling. It's just like a baptized environment. Clean, beautiful and great smelling. That applies to me as well. I feel so clean, so refreshed. When u r in the rain, u nv noe the water on ur face is from the sky or is it from ur eyes. It just feel good.
This is one weird fetish and habit of mine that not many pple know. Probably just a few close ones. Hahaha...becoz to pple, I am the sunny gal wif the sunny luffter and a sunny sense of humour. But not many pple noe, The Sun will only arrive after the rain. That is wat I am about :)
So deeeeeeepppp leh. =D
