The Rainbow Story

Those who know me and know me well, know that i am quite a lover of nature (not as huge a lover of nature as James of course!). I speak of rich blue skies and cotton-candy clouds and luscious greens all around :) Apart from these things that according to some, doesn't seem part of my nature (they're biased just coz i look a certain way *haha*), i am a rainbow lover. I think most of us did at least at some point, when we were kids? Kids and their innocent minds, their enthusiasm for so many things, it's amazing sometimes...and in the following story, i kinda owe it to the kids, for their enthusiasm led to my curiosity, that led to a major change in my life. Before events in this story took place, i already was an avid admirer of rainbows. But it was especially after this event that rainbows began having a really special place in my heart....

My granny who was everything to me, lived with me since i was born, taking care of me, whom i loved dearly, so dearly u wouldnt believe it - passed away in 1998. I was distraught of course. *cuts story as short as possible* I cried so much, till i could have had my eyeballs roll out! So after the funeral, i didn't feel like coming back (she was in butterworth, we moved her there 2 months before she passed on coz my aunt was a housewife and could take care of her). So i stayed on there to soul-search and find myself again. I think a week had almost passed and I hardly smiled and i hardly was enthusiastic all week. Then one day, we went for dinner in Bukit Mertajam or some place lah near Butterworth (name i can't recall now!). We were in some chinese coffee shop when i was stoning and zoned out as usual. Sudddenly, i hear these kids screaming and yelling with such enthusiasm, declaring that there was something very beautiful to look at. I went out to see what the fuss was about and i was pleasantly shocked because i could see not 1, but 2 HUGE mega rich colored, fully complete half-circle rainbows hovering over beautiful huge green mountains next to where we were eating! oh i tell you...what a sight! I thank God for His creation and His gift. After that sighting, i was totally rejuvenated and came back to KL and my friends didnt have to worry about me. You RARELY have the opportunity to see rich colored rainbows, not the faint looking ones. Furthermore, these 2 were complete, one over the other...2! Wow...amazing i tell u. Too bad i was younger and didnt carry a camera everywhere i went, like how i do now but i have a photographic memory of it that i will NEVER let go off. I look through the internet today and can't even find a picture of what i saw that day!
