normally...

On my way to work somewhere last week, it started raining so heavily. It didn't help esp when i was running late. Worse thing was, I was at Raffles City Shopping Centre which was a distance away from my workplace. I had to call my auntie for help. She was really nice, brought down the brolly for me despite the heavy downpour.

It then occured to me that back when I was in Zhonghua, the prefects on duty that rainy morning would use large umbrellas and help shelter those students who were caught under the rain. I found the prefects quite a nuisance sometimes. However at these times, they were my knight in shining armour esp when I hate bringing umbrella with me.

At the moment while I was waiting for my auntie, a nostalgic feeling overwhelmed me. Standing under the shelter, with the little raindrops hitting on my bare skin as the occasional breeze blew in was extremely refreshing. It then make me realise how i have taken for granted the comfort zone we used to live in back when we were much younger. It became a "normally, there would be someone there"... but as we grow up, all we have is ourselves. The age of independancy is edging near each moment the clock hand ticks, whether we like it or not. Though in fear, I anticipates what lies ahead and awaits the challenges it brings.

Presently, I am feeling exhausted from all the long hours of training I had previously. I have taken the day off tomorrow to catch up with my driving and hopefully some time for myself. I very much miss the lifestyle i had before working. So much free time and flexibility to do whatever, as and when I want. Oh yes, not forgetting my studies too. Come to think of it, I got back my first assignment. I got a Credit, not too bad for a first attempt *pat on the back* Have to work harder though for the next one. I am aiming for a HD.

Next deadline, 8th May : 2 assignments
