The journey back home

It's been donkey months since I last took a bus ride of service 151 from the Hougang Central direction back home to Toa Payoh. At last, I managed to take this ride after attending a district planning meeting at Lawrence's house tonight. Well for your information, I had always been a commuter of this particular bus service from my poly days, via NS, even until now since I started my work at NUS Prince George's Park. Perhaps, I might continue to take the very same ride home if I eventually go to SIM to pursue my degree in the very very near future.

Through this particular journey back home, those recent years memories just came to my mind. As the bus drove past SCDF HQ, I remembered those scenes of my NS days. Those days as doing overnight duty as ADO, those memorable rides of taking 151 with fellow NSPD mates, those lunch napping sessions in the Microfilm room and those la-kopi sessions at teabreaks.

The surroundings around the HQ had somehow changed a little. The other fact was, there were many changes in my life too since ORD.

Change in terms of my daily routine...
Change in terms of my direction...
Change in terms of my future plans...
Change in terms of my self-realisation...
Change in terms of my circle of friends... New friends might have have entered my life after NS, yet some friends have somehow disappeared from my life in the meantime.

I should have made my future plans well during NS. I failed to do soo. I could have made my self-realisation earlier rather than slightly later.

But I hope it's not too late now though.
