Rainy Days

Christmas is approaching but I dont remember much Christmas memories in my short, short 2o years of life. I've always wanted to see snow though on Christmas, as to me christmas associates strongly with snow. But then the only snow i've seen is in the snow factory thingy attraction cum thingy in Singapore and i cant remember what it was called for the life of me. Snow city ? snow factory ? whatever, not interested in artificial things.

Here in Brunei where I've been raised, the Christmas season is also the monsoon season and we get quite abit rainfall. Just today I went out for some walking around at the local malls and it rained. Half of me was totally drenched. Reminds me of the days when I used to cycle home in the rain, that was the best feeling ever - the adrenaline and the feel of rain pelting against your face just made it feel as though you were fighting for something really important - in this case getting home in the rain. Its interesting how much more alive we feel the more we believe we are doing something important. Ah, how purpose driven we are.

Another interesting experience of a rainy day was the time when i went hiking on a mountain trail with Lance in a weekly hash. So there I was running gaily through forests and jungle trek, with rainbows overhead and flowers and talking animals singing the sound of music and before i knew it i was lost. I tried vainly to move across the tall bladed grass (which cuts giving flesh wounds) and some deep marshy holes which u cant really see with all the thick vegetation covering it and also on which the ground gives way and you sink up to your knees if you arent careful enough. I wondered around for about an hour and i could see that the sun was starting to set. Somehow after a bit more while pandering around i found a father and son pair, father being some 45+ caucasian with his son, prolly a 6 or 7 year old kid. So along we went, me a 14 or 15 year old asian with some caucasian guy and his kid wandering through the most dense vegetation in the world. Man the amazon from what i've seen in TV doesnt even compare to the jungles of Brunei, Singaporean military servicemen actually come and train here and now i'am going through the same course without all the equipment and clothing. This might be an exaggeration but Che Guevera wouldnt have succedeed in his Cuban Revolution if Cuba had the vegetation we had over here. So anyways, we trekked around trying to find back our trail, somewhere around this point the Caucasian's kid grabbed onto a vine full of spikes. Now i'am not too sure how you can imagine a vine with spikes since we're all use to the smooth strong un-spiked vines that tarzan uses when he swings around in his disney movies, neither would i if i've never seen one, but i'am sure the kid's hands still have scars from when he grabbed onto the vine in attempt to pull his own weight up. Needless to say, his hands was bleedingly profusely and i was going like omg omg we're gonna die. We continued on having blood shed.

Anyway you must be wondering wheres the rain. So here comes the rain at about 6:30 PM just around when the sunsets and the 45+ year old caucasian whom i've now realized is a pilot of sorts is yelling directions till hes hoarse. I too was yelling, but mostly profanities :P, which i shall not disgrace thy pure ears with in this beautiful weblog. We've already climbed up to a mountain by then and we could see flickers of light and some shouting. I also vaguely remember seeing a chopper, but we were finally rescued by a team of Gurkhas (nepalase soldiers stationed in Brunei as defense) who tied us with rope onto eachother and led us through the dark forlorn decrepit Bruneian jungles.

Ever since then, i've been less adventurous and sticked to properly trekked mountain trails and have not participated in any hash.

Rain is good I like rain. It has been a stoic company through both hope and despair and is an embodiment of balance for which i so seek in life for without which, all things lack relevancy. Without despair there is no hope, and no light without darkness. And in between, harmony reigns.

And that is how i associate the Christmas season with, rain and peace of mind.

Try a variety of hemlines, to make each dress unique. The dress below the knee, can be cut on one side shorter than the others. Beginning just above the hem on one side and cut at an angle to reach much higher on the opposite side of the stain... Just my 2 cents : )

My styling tips for petite women - Clothes with all over print should be avoided, but the print should be scattered here and there on the outfit, if possible on the well toned or shaped body parts so that more attention is diverted to that positive areas.

Lohan Will Go to Rehabilitate Today, She actually is mainly with doing this like a stunt to try to lessen her sentencing in October or altogether keep away from any jail time. She actually is so apparent and predictable.

I am certain. It happens to be incredibly hard to distinguish between the 2 of them. Both are United states haters, hell bent on it’s break down. Both of these criticize Our great country and People in america continuously. Here's a hint, President obama certainly is the one currently being successful in spoiling Usa.

This site is a complete net resource for this. You'll find all you wanted or needed to know, here.

Hey ,, been recently following all your articles for quite a while, but never ever posted a single thing before. Decided I'd personally chime in. I think this content you authored incredibly educational. There were just a few details which were not straightforward, but all in all, the write-up was indeed great -- not that you require me personally telling you what you realize, haha. Anyhow, keep writing!

This internet site is a complete world wide web resource for this. You'll find all you wanted or needed to know, here.

Do you have any more info on this?

Hi webmaster, commencers and everybody else !!! The blog was absolutely great! Lots of wonderful information and inspiration, both of which we all need! Maintain them coming... You all do such a fantastic job at such Concepts... can't tell you how much I, for one appreciate all you do!

Awesome setup, thanks for the help. This helped me big time with my decision.

Congrats Rick sanchez to be dismissed from your job by CNN, thanks for reducing us viewing your haughty manner then them eye glasses fall.

Great post. I have bookmarked your site. Cheers!

If Rahm Emanuel is chosen Chicago mayor, he will give new meaning to expression 'swearing-in rite.'

A bomb planted from a car or truck has exploded outdoors a shopping complex in Londonderry, making great harm to neighboring shops, law enforcement have said. So who needs Muslims?

I reckon The president is more than likely wasting his time refuting Ahmadinejad due to a ton of American’s have been lumping Ahmadinejad as one inside the same categories with The president—yet if President obama is to be accepted, and you never know in such cases, Perhaps now is the one instance when Barack obama will not blame Bush.

Lindsay Lohan Should go to Rehabilitate Today, Once more she's gonna do that? I would like take legal action against her for wasting my tax dollars when she did her "time" at Lynwood.....ignorant bitch!

That's Embarrassing that we have Extremist Foreign Political Characters on our soil following years of hatred towards our nation. The united states should get free from the UN and educate these extremists our thoughts of there riduculous ideological background. Qaddafi, Ahmadinejad, Chavez, and many others have far to long been welcomed to our Sacred and Magnificent country. I say Enough is enough, Shut our doors to Hateful Bastards and Say Never again to the U.N. Leave, your NOT nor have never been welcomed.

Okay folks, Lohan has returned to her good old ways….She admitted to failing a court-ordered junk test the other day. She tweeted the next: “This was certainly a setback for my situation although I am taking responsibility for my activities and I sure am prepared to face the consequences.” Hence, maybe just putting her in prison for two weeks and treatment for less wasn’t the finest idea!

Excellent performance through Jennifer Grey on "Dancing with the Stars"! Emotional moment whenever talking about Meat Swayze! All of us miss him or her!

What I dont comprehend is how youre not even a lot more popular than you are now. Youre just so clever. You know so much about this theme, made me consider it from so many various perspectives. Its like men and women arent intrigued unless it has anything to do with Rhianna! Your stuff is terrific. Keep it up!

Highly useful article. Myself & my neighbor were preparing to do some research about that. We got a decent book on that matter from our local library and most books were not as descriptive as your information. I'm incredibly glad to see such information which I was searching for a long time.

High-quality post. Thank for sharing.

This is such a tremendous resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing websites that understand the value of providing a quality resource for free. It is the old what goes around comes around routine. Did you acquired lots of links and I see lots of trackbacks??

Lindsay Lohan blames part of her complications on the tabloids idealizing hard partying megastars, stating “I'd personally look up to those gals … the Britneys and whichever. And I can be like, I must be like that.” Lindsay Lohan continued to mention, “I see where that has got me now,” she says, “and I do not want it.”
