Interests

So yesterday someone asked me to write about what interest me. And I couldn’t help but to think about all my visits to the beach. My house is literally just a-five-minute-drive away from the Port Dickson beach but well, since I just got my driving license a month ago, it’d take me 10 minutes to get there hehe. Ever since I started going to boarding school, which was when I was 16 years old, my friends and I would always buy some snacks and drinks at a nearby pasar malam and walk to the beach on Saturdays. We’d just sit on the sand and eat what we bought and basically, catch on with each other’s lives and gossip about other friends. I think it was because of those frequent visits to the beach that I started to have a certain fondness to the whole concept of the beach; the sound of the waves hitting the shore, the beautiful shining sun, and the white sand and how my feet sink into it. My most favourite is the “line” where the furthest end of the ocean meets the sky. I swear, I could sit on the sand watching and admiring how the green and blue sea kind of blend with the skies. I used to imagine all of my problems being dumped right between them and lost forever, somehow helping me cope. I find it mysteriously beautiful. I tried millions of times taking a good shot of this beautiful scenery I see every time I come to the beach but no camera can beat my eyesight. It’s a shame to see this beautiful sunset and how it reflects onto the sea and not be able to share it to other people who didn’t get the chance to see it but I think of it this way, the scenery is so gorgeous that no camera is worthy to capture its beauty. It teaches me that no man-made creation could ever beat what Allah has given us, the eyes, to see the beauty of the world that He created. So here’s to all the blind people alive, may your live be forever blessed by Allah and may you be able to appreciate the beauty of life through other things. Amin.
