I think my favourite mode of transport has to be the bus.

The long rides at night from the east back to the west with my headphones plugged in are always enjoyable, though the occasional bumps here and there are kinda irritating. Not forgetting those nasty by-right-not-more-than-90-degree turns where the physics of circular motion kicks in. Buses that travel through town or those shophouse areas are actually very interesting, for those of you that have yet to notice it.

The scenes you see at town are not really much different as compared to those you see at the shophouses, but somehow theres a different feel to it. As the bus passes through town, i get to see all those happy faces that people carry around as they just chill around. Glowing lights at ion are reflected throughout the streets, giving people a relaxed mood, though its main purpose is to of course attract people into the mall to buy their insanely expensive stuff. You get to see all the gloomy faces at the bus stops too, most people stare into blank space as they watch all but their buses drive past them one by one, sulking, sianning, well at least they have their ipod touches to keep them company, i mean, seems like everyone is having one nowadays erh? But whats cool is that i cant hear the people's conversations or whatsoever through the panes of the bus, so im actually just looking at human behaviour, in a way.

Actually what can be seen from these streets arent really special, they could even be boring. But somehow, just somehow, it allows me to see all these human emotions, to actually feel how those people are feeling, it seems like im expanding my emotional capacity as I try to understand how the people are feeling ya know.

Maybe you wont really understand a thang im typing here, I think its rather vague too, but i just cant seem to be able to express what im trying to say in this cyberspace. Perhaps you might wanna try it when you're taking a bus, look outside the window and see whats going on ,while you have your mundane bus ride.

I don't thing anyone in this entire world is not afraid of death. Of course, there are people who say that they embrace death, its just another part of life and all that, but deep down inside, i just know they don't want that deadline to come too soon, i mean, who in a sane state of mind would want it anyway?

A few days ago, I was walking home after a long tiring day in school. Guitar concert is so time consuming D: So along the shelter i saw this old woman, she seemed to be too old to even walk, carrying her handbag by her side, she seemed to be any other random old lady on the street. So as i overtook her, i took a quick glance to see if she was anyone i knew, i was shocked to realise that it was actually one of those active teachers in my lower primary school days, maybe P1,P2 or so. Kinda reminded me of the first time i got punished and sent up to the stage.

There were many Ms Tans in my school last time, then my friend and I were talking about this very Ms Tan, and he didnt know which Ms Tan I was referring to, so i said 'the fat fat one lor'. Then my other friend told the prefect i said that, then that prefect told my form teacher i said that and then somehow i found myself up on stage in my first primary school year lolol.

That aside, i was deeply saddened that after 10 years, she had weakened so much. Its like her footsteps were so draggy and stiff, time spares no one and she was no exception. My grandma has constantly been going in and out of the hospital oh no frequently nowadays, i get this feeling shes gonna move on sooner or later, but of course later than sooner is preferred.

I wonder what i'll be doing at the age of 70. Would i still be playing basketball whenever i like, or would i even get the chance to do random odd jobs just to keep myself active?

ORD for NCOs 2009-2010 was cool, and the dinner with the usual 205 guys at holland v last night was even better. Sat down at barcelos for 4 hours straight unknowingly.
