TY sealion.

a quiet getaway from Singapore to celebrate my birthday.

the surprise was the stay at a seaside resort at Desaru, Johore Bahru. Although the sea is nothing comparable to those that one can experience at Maldives whereby the waters are so blue and crystal clear, but i supposed, it was good enough, to make me smile.

there were no loud speakers flaunting its bass and abilities to deafen one's ears, but there were noises of the sea gushing against the shores. there were no strong wind breathing from the air-condition that chills the entire place, but there were the sea breeze which gave the air around an unique scent. there were no crowds and loud celebration, just us, walking by the beach.

i had one of my dream fulfilled in this trip.

i finally get to see a full rainbow right ahead in front of me, on the beach. it was so resplendent and somehow, i just cannot recall when was the last time i ever saw the seven colors displaying its beauty in front of me. in fact, i had never seen one full rainbow, whereby i could see both ends and miraculously, i get to share and catch the glimpse of this special moment with you.

life had suddenly took a sharp turn and became slower and i could not sense the time ticking away. the day and night walks by the sea was an inexplicable joy. for a moment, i wished i never had to return to the callous reality for this place somehow barricades all my sorrows and troubles away.

i am so in love with the hungry sea, the glaring sun, the quiet moon, and the glittering stars.

thank you for making a cake for me.
thank you for the wallet you got for me in August. (a present in advance.)
thank you for the bose sound system you got for my new room.
thank you for the birthday card you wrote for me outside the lecture theatre.
thank you for everything you have done so far to make me smile.
thank you sealion.
