Feel free to hop on

Last evening, I shared my reflection with Jane that I felt as if I am a bus travelling around the city. This reflection came abt while I was alone trying to find my way to the carpark at Marina Square. As Marina Sq is currently undergoing a huge revamption, I had difficulties finding my way out. In the midst of searching my way, i saw huge crowds of ppl passing by me. I decided to pause a while to observe the surroundings...

I wondered how many times more will I still go out with my army frens for movies and dinner (although we have been doing so for the past 6 yrs). It seems to me that every moment in life is just a fleeting moment. At diff phases of my life, i mix with diff ppl, and I get very close to diff ppl. In jc, i have my closest jc buddies. In army, i have my beloved bunkmates. And even in NUS alone, i get to mix with diff ppl at diff phase of my 4 yrs of academic pursuit. To me, everyone that crosses my path is just another passer by in my life.

And I feel myself like an empty bus travelling around the Singapore city. Occasionally, I will have fren(s) joining me for a ride. Some r frens who need my time and attention, while some r frens who simply enjoy the ride with me. But the time they spend travelling with me varies. When they have found new directions or activities in life, they will alight from my bus and move on with their own life. Similarly for me, i will continue to move on.. . jus as before, but you are always free to join me for a ride whenever u feel like it.

Perhaps the above analogy may sound melancholic or 'empty' to some ppl, but thats really how i feel, and what i choose and want in life. I dun need any permanent passenger, I dun even need a permanent companion, but am already grateful to have you accompany me for a jolly good ride from time to time. Feel free to hop on.
