It wasn't so long ago that I was standing at the traffic junction at the foot of AMK Street 13, watching cars with 'L' plate u-turn and seeing how some of them would narrowly miss the curb where I was standing and there were a couple who actually turned way off the mark. Today, it was my turn to be behind the wheels of one of those 'L'-plated car. I saw the students in their uniforms, waiting for the lights to change in their favour.

I long for those free-er days. Without having much care in the world except studies and play. Not having to reason night after night with myself and my friends over a decision. To argue the decision from a rational point of view or to include other mitigating factors like other's expectations, other's requests or to analysis what the decisions made by certain people mean.

Now, the dust has finally settled. I have made my decision. Without a doubt, a void will be created. But then again, I believe that it's time for other things to take centre-stage in my life. Family, friends, other meaningful stuff, studies and maybe the door to music may even creak open.
