Rainbows and butterflies... that was supposed to be the original title for my blog. The long-awaited and terribly overdue blog that I've wanted to create. So yeah, apparently this title was not available as a URL. Funny thing is when I checked, the blog with this title had already been removed. Haiz. Anyway, thought that rainbows-sam-butterflies would sound almost the same, and even a 2-year old kid would be able to pronounce it. hooray! Plus it has my name in it. So kudos to me!
Let's get to the essence of the blog's name and address. First of all, I've always put rainbows and butterflies together since I was a kid. I guess they symbolise happiness. The feeling of being carefree, of colour, of joy, of the wonderful idealistic paradise this world is currently lacking. Of course, there's also the connotation of transience. The temporary appearance of the rainbow after a storm. The elusive gentle flapping of the wings of a butterfly. No matter how short-lived, they are the little pleasures of life that God has so generously provided all of mankind. Likewise, I hope to use this blog as a platform to jot down the sudden thoughts and musings that come to me, the smallest of joys that I get to enjoy.
As you can tell, I have this fascination over the rain, hence, sweet.drizzle. The most beautiful sense of taste combined with the slight continuous drizzle that is refreshing and brings to mind memories once lived.
