Journal of Life – The rainbow after the rain


There was a huge shower all across major parts in the northern and eastern part of Singapore during the evening. As the rain drizzled, I guess many people were either stuck or chose to be drenched as they continued their journey.

I guess times like these would probably leave you with an unhappy feeling.

Why it had to rain now?
Why am I stuck here when I’m supposed to go back to my home and relax in front of my couch?

The rain finally stopped right before seven.

I was on board a bus on my way home stared aimlessly outside the window.
Something caught me within the mist of dark clouds that was surrounding.

It was a rainbow.

I remembered telling everyone how happy I will become whenever I see a rainbow.
It didn’t changed today as I continued looking outside the window as the bus travels from Woodlands to Tampines.

I thought to myself, “Why must the rainbow come only after the rain?”

Scientifically apart, could it be that the heavens decided to let the human embrace its wonders after a dark and unbearable thunderstorm?

To tell everyone that no matter what happens in life, be it a light drizzle that dampens your day or a thunderstorm that hurts you. At the end of the storm, sometimes you will see a rainbow.

To tell people that in the mist of all the dark color, there lies a ray of hope.

Just like every relationship, there will be quarrels and arguments.

From how we see things from all the unhappiness, there is a ray of belief and hope.

It’s how we see things in life, actually.


This is Life perhaps...
