Lost in Transportation... (a short film)

"Ding-Dong, Ding-Dong ... Next train going to Outram Park... Door closing, (tututututu) please keep clear..."

"I aboarded the MRT train, not knowing where I'm going, looking at the MRT lines map, it seems so... messy, can't decide where to move on to."

"Why I boarded this train? I don't know why. I saw people coming and going in and out of the train, so I follow. Most of them did the same thing, some did not follow what others do, some just sit and wait for the next train..."

"The train was almost empty, only a few sitting around. I sat down..."

"I'm confused, letting this train decide my destiny? Or shall I decide it for myself? I'm confused."

"My bag is heavy, it's full of what others said of me, all the praises I have due to my grades. But all those praises are not that nice after all, my stress are adding on...
My hands are tired, carrying a few books. One of them is a BIG book call "What does my parent want me to do went I grow up?" It's heavy, it's been with me since I was born. Force to memories them by heart."

"Another book is, "I must be like my parents : Scholar". This is a real hard book to read. Frankly, I don't like this book at all..."

"All this while, those books had told me how to go through my life, I had never go against what those books tells me to do. Because without those, I don't know what to do..."

"Now, here I am, sitting at this MRT train, those book can't help me now. I either goes where this train leads me or find a station to alight. The problem is, I don't know which station I should alight, those books did not mention anything about the stations."

"Hey, I saw someone sitting somewhere opposite me. He only have one book in his hands called "What I want to do for myself". He is looking at the MRT lines map too, looks like thinking of where to go. I approached him, hope that he can help me..."

ME: "Hi, are you going somewhere? Can you tell me where should I go?"

Someone: "Oh! Hi! I'm not really sure where I'm going. But I bought this ticket to Douby Gaut. It's a interchange station. I'm going there to see where I to want to go. Finding a place that suits what I want to for myself. You wana come along?"

ME: "Mmmm... I'm not really sure, mine is a concession ticket I can simply go anywhere with it, I even can just sit here and let the train leads me. May be I'll alight with you. No harm trying."

Someone: "Hey look at yourself, your bag is so heavy, your book is so BIG, why are you carrying all this burden? Put down all this and sit down, take a rest."

"I have a shock out of my life. No one had ever tell me to put all this down and have a rest. I did not even think about it, all this are with me all the while, those books did not tell me to put them down and have a rest..."

ME: "Emmm... It's all right, I'm OK. I'm fine with those stuffs on me...

"I'm lying, I really want to put them down but I just can't do it. I think I need them, I don't know why. I'll feel ashame without them."

"Ding - Dong, next station, Douby Gaut..."

Someone: " Come on! Let's go! We reached!"

"He stand up. Walk straight to the door and walk out the train without even think twice. He did not wait for me. I thought he will."

"I walk to the open door, stood there, I'm confused, confused between the train and the station. Confused about taking this step. Confused about my destiny."

"I hesitated..."

"Ding - Dong, Door closing, please keep clear."

"The door closed before me. I'm alone in this train again. I did not take that step, because I don't even know what I'm doing. What if... What could... What shall... Whatever..."

"I go to the same spot where I stood just now. The spot where I can take a look at the MRT lines map again. I ran away, ran to the other end of the train, looking around hope to find another someone or an answer to make me feel better. I keep looking and looking..."

"Back to the same spot again. The MRT lines map. I'm tired after all the looking and searching. Mmmm... What should I do now continue to look at the map or keep looking for the answer?"

"Ding - Dong. Next stop, Punggol..."
