It departed from Bukit Merah only to end up at Yishun about an hour later. It was crowded but quite restless at the same time. My bus journey was quite enjoyable all the way home mainly because of one simple thing: Graciousness.
At that time, the bus had to stop at almost every bus stop, and people boarded and alighted. Those who boarded were mostly senior folk, and it was really heart-warming to see that people willingly gave up their seats eve though the bus was crowded. And the ones who gave up their seats were youth, and that kind of changed my perception of how Singaporean youths are. Last night was just literally like a scene taken from a Musical Chairs game; people getting up and others sitting down. Honestly, it was simply joyful to see such a sight.
This brings me to my next point: The Aging Populace.
So after the whole baby boom scene during the post-war period, after 30 odd years down the road, more citizens are becoming senior citizens. And I can't help but realise that the younger folk will have to take the country by the reigns and continue to lead us on. Indeed we have succeeded as a country because of the government, but because they are all retiring soon, the youth need to fill in the gaps, and it definitely will not be easy to fill those gigantic shoes left behind. But I for one do not wish to see Singapore fall from grace because of this, but rather embrace the older folk and still make Singapore, well......Singapore.
On a side note, Prom Night was fabulous because everybody I knew had a whole load of fun. Some had more than others, but disregarding it, I personally enjoyed it thoroughly with the friends I love and whom I will miss dearly in years to come. But that will be left for another story in the future, for now: All the Best to every Horticulture & Landscape Management Student out there!! =)
