Driving Back

I've been meaning to post this up for quite a while,but never got around to doing it.So,here it is...finally...

The drive from Klang up to Kuala Kangsar was sublime...I mean it.I mean,yeah,it was just a drive,but the view was breath-taking.We left at around 6 in the morning.Just my dad,me,my younger sister and brother.I took the passenger seat at the front beside my dad,while the other two took the seats behind us.And now,I shall begin describing its ultimate awesomeness...

As we rolled out onto the highway,surrounded by faraway mountains and greenery,I was captivated by the sky.Yeah,I know you're probably thinking,'First the moon,now the sky'.Haha.Anyway,towards my left I could see nothing but black,but straight ahead I could see the colours starting to form.The darkest purple you've ever seen,slowly turning into a dark blue,and then moving on to a light blue.When I turned my head towards my right,I was astounded.Far across the horizon,dawn was breaking.I'd never imagined dawn would come in a variety of colours.And it wasn't just me,because the colours stayed until about halfway through the journey.It was the colours of the rainbow,yet no rainbow.I could see the colours starting with a reddish tint at the horizon,and slightly higher up came orange,and then a bright yellow,followed soon enough by light green,fading smoothly into dark green,and finally,joining forces with the blues,and purples that I had seen earlier.It was like a remarkably abstract piece of art.I watched the whole thing in awe.And to think,I woke up in the morning with no inkling that I would be able to see the amazing tranformation of dark turn into light.
I watched the same view for a long while,until the sun slowly began to rise,taking most of the colours away,leaving only a whitish sky.But even the white sky had its captivating element.In phase two of this proccess,I began to notice the purple(yes,PURPLE!) clouds that were peppered with peach floating above me.Yes,purple clouds peppered with a peachy orange would describe it perfectly.
Phase three was when everything would calm down and the many colours would leave,and the sun would rise completely into the sky and soothe everything.This eventually left the clear blue sky with the puffy white clouds that we see so many times in our daily lives,without having a clue about the amazing process it takes to reach this stage.
*Sigh*...
That's all I wanted to say.

Buh-bye now...

Mesmerizing Beauty...

I watched the moon last night.I spent a total of 30 minutes standing at the window facing the back of my house,avidly watching the moon and the dark clouds that flew over it.I always knew the moon was beautiful,but never had I imagined that it would ever be that mesmerizingly beautiful.
You know what the funny thing is?I was so into it,that I could feel every particle of my body concentrating on that one silvery orb floating in that black endless sky.I actually wanted to reach out and touch it.I know it sounds like something a small child would say,but that's how I felt.I had the sudden urge to begin climbing the rolling hills covered with tombstones that were behind my house.The urge was so strong,I could feel it pulsating within me.I could even pinpoint the exact spot I needed to reach to be able to stand on tiptoe and touch the moon.In my mind,I already had my course planned out.A map to know which path to take.It was like nothing I've ever felt before...
Right this very moment,all I want to do is to lie down on the green grass and stare at the moon.But considering the fact that all there is behind my house is an ancient Chinese cemetery,I know that I would never dare do it alone.If someone's willing to come with me,I might actually try it someday.Yes.I'm that desperate.
And I also realised a few things about myself.One of it being the fact that I am easily mesmerized and highly captivated by beauty.Like the beautiful moon.The stars.The clouds.The sea.Sun.Sky.Horizon.Sand.Mountains.Snow.The trees.Dawn.Dusk.I feel like I'm in love.In love with beauty.The beautiful wonders of nature.I tend to lose myself in it.And I'm also in love with beautiful people.I'm not talking about how a guy or girl(P.S.-I'm not a lesbian and never will be.) looks.Not outer beauty.But inner beauty.Beautiful souls.Now I've just reminded myself of Jesse Mccartney's song 'Beautiful Soul'.It's a beautiful song,that one is.Beautiful souls.Beautiful personalities.Inner depth.Yes...I'm in love with a person's depth.Just like my own.That's one of the few things that I love about myself.My inner depth.My empathy.My love for life.My...amazing ability to write...which I thank God for,because,without it,I would never have been able to express myself in such a complete way if it weren't for the words that have already evolutionised and coexisted for centuries.
Haha.I know I like to move my focus all around.I like taking a story from all angles.It gives me the freedom to think.To expand my horizons.My vast and wide open imagination.I've diverted this post from the moon,to how I felt,to beauty,to beautiful souls,and to what I love about myself.And now I shall take us back to the beginning in a conclusion for everything I had to say about the moon...

All I have to say,is that I can always dream can't I?So,be one of my dreams it shall.Someday,soon,I hope,I shall take some time off to lie back and relax under the dark sky,glitering stars,and of course,the star of this entry,the beautiful,one and only....moon.
:)
I feel at peace now.Well,almost.Except for the fact that my mum is screaming at me to get to bed.
Well,so long and goodnight,then.:)
