Another Red Moon

I've probably seen a million red moons and of course I've seen the moon everyday for the past 21 years.... Nevertheless, when I see the moon again, I fail not to be mesmerised by its beauty.

Last tuesday, a day before CS3240 Midterm exam, I saw a half red moon rising just above Raffles Hall's Block 5 Roof. It looked as if the moon was half asleep, with his eye lids closed.. and he simply didn't seem to want to rise up - and wake up ! Just the simple beauty of this sight made me experience a genuine happiness with no apparent rationale or reason - something that I haven't felt in many many months. The experience brought a smile to my face and the though that as long as life has such simple pleasures, I am always going to be happy, wherever I am, whatever I am pursuing !
