Cloudy Day in Paradise

To some, Kampar is just another small town with lots of townfolks who are not influenced by the hustle bustle of the city. In other words, 'ulu'. For me, Kampar is a paradise with it's own sense of beauty and uniqueness which is to be explored.

One of the uniqueness of Kampar is it's weather. One can say that Kampar's weather can be in comparison with mood swings. It's sunny and bright in the morning, hot in the afternoon and during the evening, heavy downpours shower the hot earth.

My point is, what makes the weather similar to mood swings is that in the day, it's bright and beautiful and when it's in the evening, it rains heavily making it dark and gloomy. Same goes for a person who has mood swings, feeling happy at first and suddenly turning sad. However, for Kampar, it's beauty remains the same whether rain or shine. It's just that the scenery is different but still breath-taking. Same goes to people who have mood swings.

Don't judge anyone who has mood swings. Deep down, they are still beautiful. If they can be beautiful when they are happy, why aren't they be beautiful when they are sad? Underneath it all, they are still the same person.

I had a rough day recently in Kampar. My day began with a happy morning, full of hope but unfortunately my mood went down the drain in the afternoon when many things did not work out. When the rain poured, it made me even more sad and unhappy. However things did not turn bad and it made a drastic change that night as there were people who still sees the best in me when I'm down.

Just like the weather, no matter how bad and gloomy it can be, the sun will come out and shine once more. Happiness will come, soon enough. Till happiness comes, friends are the stars that shines brightly for you till the sun comes out.

Wouldn't you be happy when the stars are shining brightly just for you? I know I would. :)

Chapter 1

Put yourself in someone else's shoes. I guess many have heard this idiom before, but how many actually, did put themselves into other's shoes? Life, has always been a two way situation but as humans, we only look out for the benefits of our own, thus having only a one way perspective. Perhaps love is the answer to this. Like the song goes,

"What the world needs now is love sweet love,
It's the only thing that theres just to little of,
What the world needs now is love sweet love,
No, not just for some but for everyone".

Love is really lacking in our world and without love we are all selfish and inconsiderate. Perhaps, with a little help to spread love, little by little will people cherish and think of others. I use Inmyshoes to begin writing down what I'm feeling and doing so that others can know my love for them as well as the love that I would like to share. Thanks for reading.

Warm Hugs~
