Bus

Yesterday, I waited for the 5th SBS Service No. 72 before I could merely boarded the bus.

I just watched 3 single deck and 1 double deck buses went past me.....

This reminds me of an analogy:

Our lives are like the buses. The passengers are the people who come into our lives. These people all boarded the 'bus' at different bus stops. Some boarded few stops before others and they all alight at different stops. At some point in time, we will all realize that the bus that was once full are now more spacious.

And sometimes, because the bus is full, we do not allow more people to come in. We close our doors against their faces. When the time is ready to open the door for them, they had already boarded other buses.

And sometimes, we wonder, how many passengers will we have when we reach the bus terminal.

And if we are now passengers and the bus is person who came past us,

How many a times do we choose not to board a particular bus because it is single deck, it is non-aircon (though it is hard to find one now...), it is too crowded, etc.

How many a times do we choose to board other service bus that can bring us to the same destination instead of the bus that we wanted to take initially?

And how many a times because we "嫌弃" the bus and decided to wait for the next bus BUT also to find out that it doesn't meet our expectations?

And worst of all, what if the next bus turns out to be much worst of and you regret of not taking the previous bus?

And to make situation even worst, what if the bus that you decided not to take is the last bus?

And let's say if you managed to board a better bus, who can say that it will never break down in the middle of the journey and you have to carry on the journey ourselves?

Sometimes in life, we always think that the things and people that we have are not suitable for us/up to our expectations..... but later in life, you will realize that actually they (things/people) are not that bad after all.....

It takes another experience to acknowledge/appreciate previous experience.

But why not appreciate the experience now before you regret in the future?

*I didn't know the buses can elicit so much thoughts...... but well, it's life! I am always very reflective, ain't I? Haha... I can be quiet at times.... but I am thinking you see... haha..... *
