When I was still in uni in Sydney, I was given this assignment and I hate assignments, especially those from the IT department. I kinda spent like three days and nights on it, living and breathing on bottles of V and KFCs. After the work is done, I wanted to go out but I just lazily went to the lobby floor of my apartment. I came out of the building and saw this spot on the grass lawn. Tempted out of nowhere, I lied on that spot and my eyes cringed from the evil sun. I saw clouds floating and I started to shape them as they drift slowly. Three headed dwarves, unicorn, a headless princess... I saw them all. Then, I felt tears running down my cheeks. I blamed it on the evil sun but it was the moment when I started to sniff, that I know I was crying. I cried cos I was happy.
Now, I am at the 'going down the apartment stairs' in life. I know I'll get out of this. I know there'll be a reason for me to lie down on this new patch of grass with more clouds to shape in my head and of course, cry with joy. But this time around I'll smile as soon as I can feel the tears down my cheeks... cos... I'll know then that I am happy.
