It is interesting how people will choose the go the long way just so that they are always in familier grounds.
Conversation between me and a stranger who sat next to me on the bus:
Stranger A - Can you tell me where to drop off for Orchard MRT, the bus stop opp Tangs?
Me - You will like to go Tangs or the MRT?
A - MRT, i want to take train to Novena
Me - Then you can drop off at the next stop at park mall, Douby Ghaut MRT is just across the road, the same north line will take you to novena
A - No, i want to go to Orchard MRT, the one that when i exit i can see Tangs one.
Me - Ok fine, but this bus does not stop direct outside Tangs. I will let you know when the bus is nearing Orchard MRT station.
(The best thing is when the bus stops near Orchard MRT at the back of Wisma, i told her to alight, she looked at me with suspicious eyes and keep asking am i sure it is Orchard MRT, i wanted so much to say if you dun believe, you can dun alight)

Sigh, i mean it will take the bus another 15-20 mins esp at this peak hour where we may experience jam on the roads,to reach Orchard MRT, i mean if she had taken the train at Douby Ghaut, she would probably reach novena faster. Just because taking the train at Orchard is what she is used to, comfortable at, she do not want to step out to try new options?
Many a times, we are so used to our familiar surroundings that we fail to step out and try new options, refusing to accept changes willingly, always wanting to be in our comfort zone. But often just what good it does us? Sometimes it cause us to go round one big around to achieve something that we can do much faster by walking a straight line?
We need to all move on, move on new horizons, explore new grounds, look at the sunrise from a different angle, whatever it takes so that we are not always staying at the same level! Ha!

Resurrection! Finally
Well, after 1 yr 1 mth and 8 days, finally i decided to revive the long lost art of blogging in my life, it is not that i had nothing to say or dunno what to say but simply did not manage to blog it down.
Have you ever experieced those times that you have simply too many words to say and end up nothing just come out? I reckon that my brain simply moves too fast for my mouth and hands to respond..
There are always so many things that go on daily, so many thoughts to ponder about, so many things i cannot understand, or still trying to understand.
I wish i can do better,be more understanding, have more patience but sometimes i just wish i can just be me. The me that is joyous,fun-loving and just simply enjoys good fun and not needing to be concerned about so many things that other ppl ought to be responsible about...but i have learnt to manage my expectations this year and be more at peace with myself.
But i really thank God for all the great help and udnerstanding ones around me who will tolerate my every fuss.
Been thinking about one word recently- PASSION. Just what drives you to do the things that you do? Hmm, will talk about it more in my next blog.
This entry is just to test if anyone is still surfing around my long dorment blog, hey, if you did read my entry, post a comment, so i know at least i am not talking to the cosmic atmosphere... Ciao!
