White Clouds, Blue Sky

It was shocking to read today's paper where there are flash floods in the Singapore. We are not even aware of that other areas were flooded if not for the papers. Right now, it is clear skies with white cotton-like clouds. Looking at the sky, it is hard to believe it poured yesterday. Man has short memory. There is a saying in Chinese that says after a great disaster, the survivors will enjoy good time. I am not sure how accurate is this saying. I am quite sure the earthquake victims and tsunami victims are still struggling to survive.

Life is about living and not about death. We always look forward and move on. It will be terrible to be stuck in the past.

Weather is unpredictable. Even as I write, the sky has darkens and is fill by dark, heavy and ominous clouds. In the few minutes, it is threatening to rain. Life is similar to weather, unpredictable. It has ups and downs. It has good times and bad times. When time is good, make hay while the sun shines. When it is bad, it is time to hunker down and wait for it to pass....
