Haiku time!
Singapore is great
Humidity is too high
I sweat everyday

While staying in Singapore, I have come to realise that amidst the frantic busy lifestyle that most Asians here live, there is much of an untroubled, calm, peaceful part of Singapore. For instance, the beautiful sunrises they have here just shines through (literally!) the craziness of Singapore. Luckily for us, we happened to witness the beautiful sight of a sunrise.
Standing miserably under pouring rain at 6:00 AM, (at a beach close to the resort that we were staying in recently) several units of the family (including Andrew -- as he is now part of the family) peered hard into the horizon to see the glorious rise of the sun. They waited an hour.
-- But all was not lost, as the virtue of patience reigned. At 6:50, the first signs appeared across the eastern skies. Red streaked the sky, followed by orange -- along with the beginning rays of a rising sun. The rain eventually subsided, leaving a rainbow behind. In the waking light from the sun, the rainbow looked absolutely beautiful. Finally, the sun popped out from beyond the ocean, delicately rolling upwards to start the day.
A wonderful experience.
...I was actually still asleep while this happened. I had decided to get some more rest. It was worth it. :)
