Aaron's Favourite Moments 3

On my first day off work, I had the luxury of working out in the day. That was followed by some lazy chill time by the pool. After a while of dipping in the pool, I decided to get up onto the deck chair for come colouring in the sun.

It was really nice to just have time to laze around like that. All this time on the chair, my eyes were closed from the blazing sun. Strangely, I could feel from under my eyelids that the blaze was not as strong after a while - this was the time I saw something so beautiful....

I opened my eyes and saw the sun being blocked my some clouds (not that). And around the sun was... a whole circle of rainbow! You know how rainbows are usually vertically halved? The one I was blessed to see was one full circumference. The sight was just so awesome I kept staring into the sun.

That was the time I thought, ok maybe technology was meant to help capture special moments like this. But as usual, because of my long-standing feud with technology, I didn't own any that was capable of capturing that moment for me.

Later that night though, my super-techy bro was in full control at my convocation. With his SLR, long lens and tripod, he was all ready to help me capture some of the finest moments.

I think nostalgia kills me the most. I hate being ruined by nostalgia time and again. That night was beautiful with everyone coming together for a ceremonial presentation of our degree certificates.

It just affirmed the fact that I'm done with school. No more rushing to lectures, working late through the nights in hall, having friends to complete really enjoyable projects, eating anytime... no more CS.

Walking away from NTU that night was kinda bad. Time's just passing too fast now. It's true - beautiful years are from school, from university life.

But I graduated. That's a beautiful moment too.
