Life is like an MRT train. Honestly!

Refreshing insight, eh? The idea generates from the fact that in life, there will be many people board and alight from your MRT train. When the MRT train first starts, the number of people who board your train is minute. Then, as you drive along the way, you realise that you pick up more and more passengers. (Just like how the train is the most crowded along Orchard/City Hall/Raffles Place). And then as you go along somemore and reach your final destination, you'll realise that there aren't many passengers left in the train anymore.

This is when I start to wonder... how many of the friends I have now, will be there in my train all the way until I reach the end point? And how many people will be there from the start of the journey all the way to the end? I think the number will be less than the fingers that I have.

Well of course, halfway through the journey when I get tired, weary and sick of driving the train, there will be that one partner that the company (God) sends to me, to accompany me throughout all the ups and downs, the joy and sorrow. And that person, will be a partner for life. But of course, that person will come very much later because as of now.. I'm still managing the train quite well, with the extra strength and grace from God.

Everything may change, but I know one thing for sure. God will always be in the front seat, next to me guiding me while I drive my MRT train. And my family will be in the first carriage. From beginning to the end, always supporting me.

Until the day I reach the end of my journey, then I will realise which one of my passengers (friends) have been there from start to end. And which partner God has given to me. My train may meet rocks, stones, whatever else. It may even malfunction and break down for a period of time. But the engine will be refilled with oil (love, grace, joy, hope, strength) from God. And I will keep driving on the railways.

So then I wonder, will you be the one at the end?
