Let the rain fall down....

I'm not one that does not like rain. There’s something just so wonderful about playing in the rain. No matter how old a person is, I think it’s a shame to waste the opportunity when it arises. Like today for example. It was pouring after my last class, and I was in the lecture hall practically the other end of the world, DK Z. Being Convo week, there are no buses, so no choice but to walk.

Its about a 25minute walk from where we were, and we had to cut through the DTSP area, where the evening convocation session was being held. The last time I saw so many bouquets of flowers was probably either when I went to Petaling Street a day before Valentines Day or during my brother’s convocation in UM some years back. Why flowers…? I didn’t get my bro flowers…Would I want flowers when I graduate? Hmmm…I was saying that holding a bunch of gifts and all would prevent me from going around hugging and being jolly-jolly with friends/family/course mates. Dah-la I’m a clutz, every stalk and teddy bear would be falling out with each step I take. Kevin says the more flowers the girl has to juggle in her arms, the more bangga she’ll be. Errr, right.

Not only that, have you seen the weird arrangements they’ve come up with now? Ghastly! Instead of normal flowers, you can get the fake ones- which look real bad or flowers with teddy bears or just a bouquet of teddy bears. Man….There’s teddy bears, hearts, bumble bees, tortoises, frogs, Mashimaro, Pooh and friends, Doremon...The list goes on. Do 23year old’s still delight in getting a bunch of mini frogs wrapped in garish, gaudy paper only to end up gathering dust in a corner and having cockroaches lay eggs in it? Maybe some do, so I shall not judge. I remember last year someone said I’m “not a normal girl” just cause I don’t like soft toys. Ho-kay! =)

Where I was…..Right- cutting through the crowd anxiously waiting for their loved ones to come out was so nice. Me being such a sucker for these kinda occasions, i got caught up with all the happy emotions floating around, seeing the faces of grandparents and lil kids, trying their best to catch a first glimpse as the graduates trickle out of the big hall. And the faces of those who just got their scroll, looking so grand in their robes and mortar board, huge smiles on their faces, even though it was raining. Seriously, it was a super Kodak moment…If only I had a camera with me to capture it.

Back to the rain. Or rather being in the rain. I’m so glad I’ve got a friend who’s mad like me. Most people I know would say “Eyer…crazy ar? After get sick o…” (Shelby rolls eyes..) or “For what?” And i say “For fun la..” Then they give me the you’re weird look. So after handing my bag and umbrella to the owner of the you're weird look, Suria and i happily splashed our way along, having our own fun. Since it was just after office hours, the road leading to the stadium was jammed, and i'm sure we were entertaining them. Some stared, some glanced, some waved, some phee-weet'ed, some didn't notice. As the rain fell, i could actually feel each drop of water on my skin, individually and made me feel so alive. (corny as it sounds) Unfortunately for us, earlier in the morning when it was nice and sunny, we both chose to wear white t-shirts... =/
