*.* Balloons and… Shooting Star! *.*

If you are wondering what has the relationship between balloons and shooting star is, it has no relationship. I’m just trying to point out how eventful my day was. The only common characteristic a balloon and a shooting star have is they fly.

I met some one new today and he was doing balloon decoration for an event. Honestly, I didn’t know balloons can be boring interesting yet scary.

We were supposed to do 1000 balloons. By blowing them up, tying the balloons with coloured strings and curling them up, it took us I think almost 3 to 4 hours to complete. It’s quite boring in the sense that for the few hours, you will be doing the same thing over and over again.

The interesting part comes in when the job is complete. It was really beautiful. How balloons make the plain, dead place to a livelier and romantic place.

Along the way, balloons burst and some times, we might even have to do it all over again. The worrying part is how not to accomplish the job in a even time. It’s a stressful job I should say.

Then again, it hits me when I was holding the balloon filled with helium gas, the balloon flies. As I play with it and let go of the balloon letting it fly away, the feeling is like letting go something that is worrying you. A feeling of relieve and say ‘Hey God, it’s Yours.’ Then again, sometimes it’s so difficult to let go. Because you simply like the feeling of having it and so unwilling to let go.

I think many times we hold on to something in our life so tightly that we couldn’t bear to let go. Yet when we let go, it’s like the child-like faith that comes in and just let it go. Do you want to let it go or still cling on to it? Think about it.

Certain parts, I just felt we are like the balloons being tied by the fishing line. The fishing line here refers to God. Without the line, the balloons will fly all over the place. Without the line, it cannot be form into the shapes that we want. It’s like life without God, all over the place. I felt, I am strongly holding on to God’s hand with someone else too.

I’ve learnt a lot today. What a meaningful day I had had.

Now about shooting star. I walking down the street and I saw shooting star. The last time I saw one was in Malaysia and it was my very very first time 2 years back. Today when I see it again, I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was not very dark at night though it was late and as usual there will be lights everywhere that the sky hardly have 2 stars yet a shooting star just ‘shot’ by the sky. It was very very unexpected. I am thrilled with the shooting star because I thought never in my life will I see a shooting star in Singapore yet I saw it, at a place that was quite bright. It’s just so amazing. It was quite an eventful day right?
