Gloom V.S Hope

I woke up today with a gloom on my face. The sky was dark, the cold air was hanging and i could hear the pitter-patter sounds of the rain drops falling against my window.
Such a lazy day to just sit on a couch with a warm cup of tea and just enjoy doing nothing.

Unfortunately i couldn't do that.... had to go to class and listen to what wonderful and exciting information my profs had for me. It's always fun to go to a very interesting class and my ASIA 349 class of South East Asian Literature is one of them.

Today we had to discuss about Shirley Lim's (Malaysian writer) short stories. Some of which were pretty disturbing. A lot of incestuous stuff going on. Dad having lustful feelings on kids, Old man molesting little girl..... the whole time i was reading Shirley's work i couldn't help but wonder if she was actually abused or sexually harassed when she was a kid. A lot of her stories are filled with hate, gloom, darkness and very graphic images.

I guess many of us should be thankful that we have been able to grow up in a conducive environment that allowed for us to grow up without fear. Our parents have always been by our side guiding us in the right direction and allowing us to explore the world in caution.

Sometimes when i'm bored, especially after watching a romantic comedy, i think of what kind of husband and family i might have in the future. And you know what.... i hope to have a relationship that is similar to my parents and embrace the kids that God will bless us with. (not sure how they are gonna be... but that's always an exciting mystery right?). Looking at my parents and seeing how they are still so much in love after 23 years of marriage, that really gives me hope that maybe someday i would also be lucky enough to find a husband that would still be not bored of me after 10 years or more =P

There are good man still out there. Girls, we just have to be patient and wait for God to bring the right one to you ;) He would know which one is best for you because He created you!

It's still cold right now, i can feel the sharp cold air blowing in from my window. I think it's about 15 degrees.

Summer is over!!! Welcome Autum!
