A Slow Sunday, Good for Recuperating

This has been the first Sunday since a long time that I can wake up late and start things slow ever since I really started to dive in to photography. I must admit that the weather did play a part because I actually wanted to meet Thomas for a shoot at the Matilda House which is near Punggol MRT. I thought of spending the whole morning for photography followed by exploring that area so that I can feedback to my IR group about the potential of having an outing there. A downpour came and just take the whole morning off, I think it is the Divine's will that he wanted me to have a good rest to recuperate and catch some sleep.

I set my alarm at 6:15am and when I wake up, it was raining quite heavily, so I decided to head back to bed to rest for half and hour more to monitor the situation. The weather didn't get any better at around 7:30am. So I just wake up and start surfing the net. Time ticks by, the rain sort of stop, but the condition is not really good for shooting because the "Golden Light" is missing. I messaged Thomas to call off the shooting because I see that the weather and lighting is not ideal, he actually proposed to meet up as the light is not too harsh which should be good. I couldn't help but agree with him, but the problem is, the area we are heading to will be muddy after the downpour and the overcast weather just put me off as I can't really try out IR at the Matilda House and it looks like it may rain again.

I proposed to Thomas to meet up another time and I just wash up and head back to my the other home. It is been quite some time since I last enjoyed the breakfast that my parents bought for me from the market. When I reached home, breakfast is ready and I simply indulge myself with the Bee Hoon and reading The Sunday Times at the same time. It is just so relaxing and slow.

After my breakfast and reading through the newspapers, I have decided to take a nap. It has been long since I last took an afternoon nap. I thought of just catching an hour nap or so, I ended up waking up at 4pm in late noon. What a good sleep. I find myself rejuvenated and recharged and ready for the week to come.

This has been a slow and boring Sunday I must admit, but I guess I really needed it so that I can recuperate. It just make the meaning, "To take a rest/break is to prepare yourself for the road ahead" really meaningful.
