monday, 12:36pm, i heard Him say"I can fill the darkness with just one flash of light Break the silence with just one word Warm the fire-started revolution One that can save the world" i turned my glance towards the side, i marvelled at the scenery along west coast road. what greatness could have created this all? corinne may's voice drowned the rumbling sounds produced by the ancient 189 bus i'm taking. it got me daydreaming. there are just too much that we cant be in control of, there's just too much we cant be sure of. what awaits me at this end of this road? i do not know. where's my purpose? "You can be a witness, you can be a prophet You can make the whole world believe Break the strongest fortress, change the way the world thinks You can build a bridge where foes can meet Hope for the future, shout it, don't whisper 'cos dreams are what we make them to be There is hope in every heartbeat, tiny as it seems You're a beautiful seed" she sang it all. haha, it was amazing how one could be inspired by the words of the Lord. sometimes, her songs just hit you right smack in the face. btw, earlier on, there was this big hooha abt converting the old sch building in seragoon gardens to be a hostel for overseas workers.... many were against it of course right? i once imagined how would the neighbourhood looked like if the hostel was rlly built. imagine staying at right beside the hostel builing. every morning, you will see the one could obvious difference in standards of living btw your filthy rich neighbour and the oversea workers. when you turn to the right, you see ur neighbour spreading butter and jam using glass knife onto their 100%organic wholemeal bread whereas on your left, you see the oversea worker grabbing a $0.60 hotdog bun and rush down to catch his ride to the worksite. i could imagine the awkwardness but bus 189 has proven me wrong. let me just fill you with the route that 189 takes. 189 is the only bus which passes by the foreign workers' hostel in bukit batok and then it makes it way by a military camp. after which it passes by clementi mrt station and continues it's journey pass the international canadian and japanese sch. after which it enters west coast road,where it's littered with private properties on both side of the road and ending it's trip at nus kent ridge terminal. i get up on 189 on it's 3rd stop from bt batok to go to sch daily. it is rlly interesting to see the different kinds of people who boards the bus. from foreign construction workers to army associates to domestic helpers with cold storage plastic bags to blondes, burnette and jap students to local and chinese students... i realise it isnt that awkward afterall, putting people from different "class" of the society tgt. so maybe, the seragoon gardens project isnt tt awkward nor impossible afterall. heh. 189 is rlly an interesting bus ride, you get to see a myriad culture that make up the multicultural and multiracial characteristic that sg proudly proclaims. heh. okay, i'm not trying to make any point here. i'm just randomly talking. so, haha, pardon me for all the randomness. :) |
