confessions on the road
the past four days have been spent on the road, from s'pore to ipoh; from ipoh to penang; from penang to cameron highlands; and from cameron highlands back to s'pore.......... and alongside to the continous monotonous drone of the coach engine were the thoughts, confessions, feelings, views and experiences of two eighteen year olds, common in thought, thinking and upbringing, yet different in experience and lifestyle.............
in the span of four days, facades and external influences and societal expectations were thrown aside as two souls sought to attain communication and emerge with answers to questions long ago posed, but unanswered..............
religion fear death sex relationships friendship life family values morals aspirations dreams anger fun happiness
all these were shared and it seemed as if they were both defects from a master block, for their mindsets were so similar, liberal in mind yet conservative in heart............. yet at the end of the four days, the two part and return to their normal lives, back to their friends and cutting off contact with each other til the occasional 3 or 4 time a year annual family reunion.......... and when they do meet again, it's as if this level of understanding, sharing and communion never existed........... yet a split has been breached, and will always remain etched in heart, til time and wear erodes it away......................... and it's back to 'hello', 'goodbye'.............

existencialism.......... jean paul sartre was right............ things exist only right here; right now
