i've found...or refound (if there's such a word) a new joy in life! walkin' in the rain! : )it's so so much fun! if u haven't already done it lately or tried to hide away from it by staying indoors, u have NO idea how much fun ur missing out on! if u have done it, but spent the entire time cursing and swearing under ur breadth, u've done it all wrong!i've decided that it's all in the mind. those of u who know me well know that i have a love/hate relationship with the sun. like if i'm mentally prepared to get hot and sweat it out playing a sport or being in the sun or smt, i loooove the sun and can't wait to bask in it. but if i'm dressed up and not ready to get sticky and ickypoo, then i hate the sun and no matter how u try convincing me to walk to some nearby coffeeshop or smt, i won't budge. i'd rather starve and die.ok, so it is with rain. if i'm dressed up or wearing slippery slippers (no, don't laugh. not all slippers are slippery. just some...like my black xcessorize pair), or wearing a light coloured bottom, or am just not mentally psyched up to walk in the rain, i get kinda whiney and grumpy about it. but then, i realized in the last 24 hours how much fun it really is! met andrew, dhoby and lav for dinner yday and dhoby's first question was "are we gonna get wet?" so when we finally saw mr wang (who looked real sharp i must say) with 2 umbrellas, we knew we were. we also knew he probably didn't know exactly where in little india he was bringing us to which is typical. but in the rain we walked...thru puddles and thru back alleys and all. and finally we ended up at some organic vegetarian restaurant that didn't have anything indian. haha but to end the night properly, we trooped in the rain to some coffeeshop for masala tea and thosai coz the rest were still hungry before making out way back to the station in the pouring rain.and the rain continues today! thot i had to go to sch but mils said i didn't which was perhaps the best thing that's happened today...besides sleeping in. heh so i went to cut my hair. thought there'd be no one at the hairdressers since its raining buckets but obviously everyone else thought the same. nonetheless, the walk there and back in pouring rain was ohsomuchfun! :) don't be fooled by those korean/hongkong dramas that show depressed, lonely, brokenhearted fools walking and crying in the rain. that's not what rain's for! i tell u, there's just something about not seeing a puddle, stepping into it, hearing a little splish and laughing involuntarily. it's a natural sequence! really! then it struck me as i was merrily walking in the rain that the christian walk is much like that too - it's a lot about what goes on in the mind. like if u set ur mind to being set apart, to loving God, to choosing His way over others, to loving others, the journey is so much more fun. it can be dreaded and u can whine abt how u have to give this and that up and be a holymole, or u can embrace it and love all God has allowed and well..sing in the rain! guess that's why we're told to love God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength.so go walk in the rain! roll up ur pants, grab a pair of slippers, have a huge umbrella, and thank God for rain! :)
