Quiet Moments...

It's raining again at this point in time...

Outside my window, I could have a clear view and see how storms could be so terrifying, yet so tantalising... There is some kind of 'charm' in a storm which can mesmerise me...

Yes, I just love the night time, especially when it drizzles or pours! It can be so quiet, so calm... It can be loud, cooling and dark... 

Yet, the fast pace you see in day time where everyone is rushing to school, to work or to do something, will not be noticeable during the night time...

You do not have to rush... and everything sort of comes to a standstill...

Today, I spent my whole day marking, marking and more marking...

I went down to school to mark, I went down to town to mark, I went down to Changi Airport to mark...

I marked and marked and marked...

Yet, I would not forget to pamper myself with a short getaway to the rustic feel of nature... I went to have a sumptuous dinner at Changi Village, and I stopped over at the bridge over the river canal and overlooked into the vastness of the sea... It was a great feeling...

It was a reminder to me: "Everything's gonna be alright... Rockabye... Rockabye..."

Reminds me of a song though...

We have tough moments at different times, but these are only seasons, like a storm, it will come and go. Everything will be alright, when we brave through it...

Don't forget to smile at the storms in your life, be brave, and learn to take good breaks once in a while, but not too much.

Hang in there, children...
