Life is a Bus Journey

Happen to see that HuiRong mentioned about this story that I was relating to her some time back about Life as a Bus Journey. I do not claim credit for this analogy. It was my good friend, my good brother Vincent who taught me about this.

Let me summarized the whole analogy "Life is just like a bus journey with you being the driver of your own bus. When you reaches one stop, some people will come into your life and become your friends, but some people will get down as they reaches their own destination. Well, this is life I guess, just have to let go."

Sometime, things in life are beyond our control at times. Let me share some life story with you. During my Poly-days, I was the class representative for 2 and a half years. Even after we graduated, I still uphold my duties and responsibilities as a class rep to update the contact list for the class for another 5 years. During those time, I will call them up, update the class list and send out Christmas card. Vincent and Ian will always scold me and try to make me see the logic. Those who wished to stay in touch will do so by themselves, there is no need for me to do it. Those who reaches their destination will alight from my bus, if they wish to stay on my bus, they will update me instead of me trying to search high and low for them. It was after then that I stopped updating the class list. In fact, only a few true friends stay behind which is of course Ian and Vincent.

Another life story, this one is more recent. After my uni graduation, I can sense a drift of my friends as some of them start to avoid those gatherings and so on. These group of friends have brave through thick and thin, CAs, projects, quizzes and exams together. At the end of this journey, when the destination is reached. Some of these comrades-in-arm just disappear. I do felt disappointed, but whenever I think of what Vincent told me, it is part and parcel of life, I just learnt to let go and be happy. Who knows, our path might cross again... Until then...

Anyway, I like to dedicate this post to Leanna whom I read about on HuiRong's blog. Hope that you are feeling much better. Take care. Cheerz.
