Blue Skies

Blue Skies by Irving Berlin

I was blue, just as blue as I could be

Evry day was a cloudy day for me

Then good luck came a-knocking at my door

Skies were grey but they're not grey anymore

Blue skies

Smiling at me

Nothing but blue skies

Do I see

Bluebirds

Singing a song

Nothing but bluebirds

All day long

Never saw the sun shining so bright

Never saw things going so right

Noticing the days hurrying by

When youre in love, my how they fly

Blue days

All of them gone

Nothing but blue skies

From now on

I though this song is pretty apt to describe the afternoon sky these days. Last week, there were so many white, fluffy, cotton-candy-ish clouds. More than I've ever seen for the past 6 weeks. It was pretty cold last week. BUT this week is completely different! It's super, duper, uber H-O-T. And I mean REALLY HOTTT. For most part of the week, it's over 40 degrees Celsius! The sun's literally scorching my skin.

Plus, there are hardly any clouds at all. For the whole of today, I didn't even see a single cubic mm of cloud in the sky. The sky in the morning and afternoon was really blue. The sky glowed a beautiful tint of azure. I've never seen skies so blue until I came to Perth.

Neon by John Mayer

When sky blue gets dark enough

To see the colours of the city lights

A trail of ruby red and diamond white

Hits her like a sunrise

The Rainbow Song by Linus Mark Lim

Red and yellow and pink and green

Purple and orange and blue

I can sing a rainbow

Sing a rainbow

Sing a rainbow too!

I looked out of the back-seat window of my aunt's car, only to find entire colour SPECTRUM painted on the sky! It was B-R-E-A-T-H-T-A-K-I-N-G!

You can never find a scene as picturesque as this in Singapore because firstly, there are too many clouds in Singapore and secondly, there are too many tall skyscrapers, apartments and HDB flats. Over here, there are no clouds and the buildings are relatively low, so you can have an unobstructed view of the sky.

The hemisphere of colours that hanged above me just a few hours ago at 8pm was a sight to behold. Dark purple surrounds the edges of the skyline, then purplish pink, then red, then orange, then yellow, followed by a smudgy array of colours. And at the centre of this mass of colours was the bluest of blues.
