If only life can be like this

As i was strolling down the ocean beach fishing pier today in san diego, i have this sudden urge to come and settle here. I have always and kept telling myself that i am so fortunate to be able to tour this country whenever i have a break from my teaching. The scenic drive was like those winding roads in san francisco, cram yet exhilarating. 

Today is Wednesday, yet there is quite a substantiate number of people strolling on the beach and the pier. There were also a handful of surfers all clad in their wet suits riding on the waves. Having treaded on La Jolla beach this morning, i believe the waters is about 10 deg celsius here in ocean beach. How i wish i was one of them surfing on the strong and powerful waves of the mighty pacific ocean.

Due to the foggy weather today, the pier looks almost like the pathway to heaven, Catherine said. It is romantic and no wonder couples embraced themselves on the pier, soaking in a world of their own. Though we could not see far with the thick fog, we still enjoyed the walk on the pier and find our own peace within, for which, makes me ponder about life. Many times we do not know what lies in front of us, we thought the fog will disperse by late afternoon but it didn't. Somehow i didn't feel disappointed because we see a different view and perhaps even the people who went there could be feeling the same as we would. I would love to come back to the beaches of san diego, this could be because Singapore too have the similar beaches, i guess i am missing the sea again. Life is unexpecting, i have many memories and some are really tormenting and some makes me appreciate for what life is meant to be. Yes, if only life can be what i am doing now, to see the beaches and stroll down the pier with no qualms of worries or troubles, just peace...if only....
