Rainbow is the most beautiful moment, yet the waiting is the hardest part.Quoted from Angel.
I agreed with her personal msg on MSN. Rainbow is also a confirmation of God’s covenant to us. It is found in Genesis 9:12-17, which says :
I am giving you a sign of my covenant with you and with all living creatures, for all generations to come. I have placed my rainbow in the clouds. It is the sign of my covenant with you and with all the earth. When I send clouds over the earth, the rainbow will appear in clouds, and I will remember my covenant with you and with all living creatures. Never again will the floodwaters destroy all life. When I see the rainbow in the clouds, I will remember the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth. Yes, this rainbow is the sign of the covenant I am comfirming with all the creatures on earth.
However, in normal context, we would say that rainbow only comes after the rain. Another quotation says “After the rain comes the rainbow” fits in this. I was just wondering when my next rainbow will come. It is not that I’m facing a ‘rainy’ situation, but just sorta an unclear situation. I still couldn’t figure out how things would be like. I wish I have a purrfect brain to tell me how. Or a miraculous power to zap myself fast forward to the future. (gee…sounds like Hiro in Heroes).
My friends said I’m too patient in that area. I can be patient. Yes. But, there is a ‘big but‘ (this is what my Company Law lecturer’s fav saying), which is I can be an unpatient person too, especially in punctuality. I dislike people who aren’t punctual. Used to get worked up quite often whenever I have to wait for someone more than 10 minutes. I’m always with the principle of getting there 10 minutes earlier and NOT 10 minutes later which most usual people do. However, over the years, I’ve learnt that there’s no point to be grumpy or worked up over that person, because they won’t change. It’s a Malaysian culture that is being bred all over the nation. Though there are minorities, I bet there aren’t many. Anyway, sometimes I purposely to walk slower or take my sweet time to delay my time so I don’t have to be the one waiting all the time. I mean at times standing there alone and wait for 10-15 minutes is pretty a-sigh thing for me. I don’t like this method, but I just do it so I won’t get much of bad impression of someone who is always late. Most importantly, if I am the one waiting especially for guys. (Aren’t guys the one who is supposed to do the waiting?) I think they thought we, girls would take a long sweet time to make-up and stuff, so we would be late, hence they don’t want to be there early and wait alone till the girl comes. But, I have guy friends who are much “moh“(in cantonese) than us, the girls.
Oh gosh…I never knew just one word of ‘waiting’ can cause me to write this much. Better stop here now. Head is still grumpy and sleepy. I still need more sleep. Sigh.
