This space is the only place I can really be myself

Yet another lesson learnt on my way to work.
Why do little kids always ask the simplest yet valuable question?


I was sandwiched between a bunch of shallow secondary school kids who think they own the world and an innocent bunch of primary school boys.

One of the little boys said this to his other three friends, "Why must I always alight alone? Can all of you accompany me for one round and let me alight first?"
I can't really make out what his friend's reply was, but from the look on the little boy's face it was obviously a nono.

It took me awhile to observe and I asked myself this,
"At the end of our Journey in Life, don't we all alight alone too?"

If that LRT ride reflects that little boy's life,
I hope he will learn that friends he made along the way will not be able to accompany him in the end.

Be brave and face your deepest fear.
Loneliness is only temporary;
it's only about you getting use to a foreign feeling you thought you hate.

Loneliness gives Man both time and the opportunity to spend time alone,
Ponder.



and Happy Lunar New Year peeps!
CIAO :D
