In this sophisticated world, one often finds oneself in a struggle with power, fame, money, attention and many other unnecessary entities of life. I seek to find a simple life, uncomplicated yet meaningful. A lot more important elements of life are waiting to be discovered. Live your life to the fullest.

Next Stage of Life

It was a normal working day, and as usual, I took bus 39 from Yishun to my work place at Pasir Ris. The driver was a very old uncle and seems quite blur. One look at him and I almost feel sorry for him because he has to work even at this age. I hope he is working just to pass time.

He took the wrong route as a matter of fact. Was about to exit from SLE to TPE when, I don't know what he is thinking, he paused the bus for a while and continued on CTE! That is obviously the wrong route. He panicked and continued driving until some kind soul on board gave him the directions to return back to the original route. By then, the damage has been inflicted. 20 minutes longer than the usual duration.

I am not blaming the driver. I feel sorry for him in fact. He is so going to get it from his superiors I am sure. Let's just hope it turn out well for him.

In life, you take the wrong path once a while too. More importantly, you have to get back to the original journey you are suppose to undergo.

It is always nice to think of someone you missed so dearly when you are alone. A lot of us do that I am sure. I do that too.

But I am sure it will be nicer if that person you missed is thinking of you as well.

I am not saying telepathy here. I meant: if you know the person will almost certainly miss you too.

Anyway, it will be a great feeling I am sure. It is a nice feeling.

A lot of times, in our life, we might have taken the wrong bus, took a big round to heaven-knows-where, miss our stops etc. However, this is actually part of the journey for you to get to where you wanted.

I have missed my buses before, took the wrong ones, went a big loop and got back to my starting point few times. But who knows what the next bus will bring? Or rather where this bus will take me to?

It is raining heavily now. Last time, it used to be so emo staring out looking at the droplets of water falling continuously and splashing on the ground. Now, it seems better. I wonder why?

The time has come for me to move on to the next stage of life.

Am I ready? I think not yet.
