Today (27 Nov 2009, Saturday)Â is a great day for me although the weather is pretty bad as it keep on raining. However, I can still feel the happiness in myself as I managed to bring back a lot of joyful memories of the past. This morning I went for my usual driving lesson as today is public holiday and I asked two of my friends whether they want to join me for swimming in the afternoon. One of my friends agreed, while another not confirm and we decided to meet at 2pm as my friend just came back from his chalet. The sky was still quite bright and shiny when i cycle out of my house but when I about to reach my destination, it started to rain heavily and I was caught in the rain. When I reach the shelter, I gave my friend a call and realized that he wanted to change the timing to 2.30pm instead but didn’t manage to get me as I didn’t answer my call while I was cycling. He said that if I have saw his message or picked up his call, I might not have caught up with the rain.
Although I was drenched, the funny thing was I was not feeling any unhappiness about it but I told my friend that I would go up to the bowling alley instead to wait for him. If you were curious where on earth I was meeting my friend, we were supposed to meet at Tampines Safra Club. I waited for my friend for about half an hour plus and was listening to my MP3 player. While waiting for my friend, I realized that my MP3’s battery went flat, it didn’t really make me sad as I realized I’m sitting down waiting so it was still okay for me.
One of my friends reached after about half an hour and we waited for another friend to come. After waiting for awhile, I turned around and saw another of my secondary friend with his family. We didn’t arrange the meetup but we ended up at the same place and while talking with him, my friend who we were waiting came. He was quite surprised to see my secondary friend too and we chatted for awhile before going for our bowling. We had fun and it seemed a long time since I met my secondary friend and we had a good chat while bowling. After bowling, we went out of the place and realized it was raining outside. In the end, my friends and I parted with our secondary friend and went to the LAN shop beside the bowling alley to play games while waiting for the rain to subside.
We had fun playing Counter Strike and we all realized we were no longer as skillful as before but I could say all of us enjoyed playing it as it brought back a lot of fun memories of our past while we were still in secondary school. After our game, we realized the rain had gone away and we decided to go Tampines Central. However, we were caught up in the rain half way through the journey as my friends decided to walk to our destination and I have to accompany them by cycling slowly. Although we were caught up in the rain, we were having fun and enjoying the cool weather.
What I have actually learned from today happening is that although bad things may happen to us as fast like the sudden rain, we can always look at the bright side of life as it do bring us joy, fun and unexpected meeting that can brighten up our day. Therefore, remember to always look at the bright side of life and you will definitely feel happier if you are seeking your own journey to success like me.
Cheers
