Retirement.

So it's drivin' everyday. I'm the garbage truck, taxi and bus driver and not to mention the food caterer. Shuttling to and fro from one sector to another, getting awoken by phone calls requesting for transportational support forces. It gets to a point where you feel it's perhaps an inception of advanced retirement. A retirement for about 1 and a half years. Here I have the pleasure and time to peruse 90% of the Straits Times excluding the Classifieds. Read NLB book on topics like C programming, Forensics and Digital Photography. In contrast to my school days, I never dare tempt fate with such extraneous input. However, largely lacking from my current life is a healthy and wide enough social circle. It is sadly between me and 4 other drivers daily, with a few sgts and RPs as my passengers, canteen and restaurant aunties and uncles. It resembles the situation where one retires and settles at home doing mundane matters all day, mix around within the HDB estate, ride a bicycle around the neighbourhood exchanging brief greetings while meeting people along the way. Then it's couch potato time and some static games involving chesspieces. Or just the daily meetings with ' Zhou Gong '. After duties, I head home and sometimes my mum's workplace to mix around with the toddlers. What a striking match!

Nah.
It feels more like schooling again. A self-directed mind broadening phase that'll hopefully work out well. =)
