"Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it onto future generations." - George Bernard Shaw

Childlike Innocence

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked

So Exciting

I'm going to get it back tomorrow, and it's such a great feeling altogether.

Wait, that was an understatement. I mean, who wouldn't be glad that they are gonna collect back their pink IC after two bloody years of slavery. But still, I must say that the feeling of having completed the ordeal is tremendous. I wouldn't exchange this feeling for anything else in the world.

Yes, we may say that we hate it. We may say that it's a total waste of time. We may curse and swear at it. But at the end of the day, we're simply happy that the journey is over. We're done with this rite of passage and we're looking into the future. Two years came and went by, and we've grown stronger.

Cheers to all for a job well done, and God bless to those who are still in it.

Finally, we can say that we've being there, done that.

It's Good To Be Away

But it's even better to come back home once again. I've always liked the feeling of coming back to Changi Airport, and how you queue with at the immigration counter under the "Singapore Citizen" section. It's such a great feeling altogether!

But the best thing of all is that when you return home after a long trip, and you find that the number suddenly drops to four.

So exciting.
