Another Winter Day

I was cursed with a sullen spell that puts me in a rotten mood. For days i was feeling depressed. My world was in monochrome. Time ticked gradually. Nothing seemed colourful and attractive anymore. The rainbow in my cerulean sky was nowhere to be seen. Over the horizon there is no telling when the dark clouds will give way to a bright sun shining day. But i believe my luck will change for the better. Just like the tide that ebbs and flows.

Almost four in the morning and i am not in bed yet. I have to be up by six for dragon boating at Kallang Basin. Although this activity is nothing new to me and sea sport had always been my interest i do not feel like attending it later. But i will grace the occasion and make my presence known for the sake of my comrades. They anticipated my arrival. Although i lacked the heart and soul i will try to put on my best performance and have fun.
