This new year marks a new chapter of my life-the transition into adulthood. I am in a position i yearned barely two month ago of unrestricted freedom, days of jolly and folly, light years away from the trials and tribulations of books and lecture notes. Yet, i do not feel the joy and happiness and relief that i anticipated. Far from it. Look at the picture: unemployed, penniless, single and seemingly having no objective in life. I am one confused lost boy. It doesn't paint a bright picture of my current status.The privileges are gone. No more concession passes. No more student meals. Most significantly, no more school. Yes, school is a privilege, a luxury of sorts. Its a social safety net in which there is assurance. I am not ready to be an adult. I still want to be a student, having fun learning everyday, without any worries(besides exams). Being an school leaver henceforth, the burden and responsibilities are heaped on our shoulders. NS, bills, CPF, mortgage, jobs, wife, children...ok, i'm drifting off too far. But the point is, i'm stepping into a realm of the unknown. I just turned 19 few days ago. A rather quiet and hush-hush affair, no problems with me. Remembering the day i was born is good enough, and i truly appreciate the well wishes.Later.

But I'm not a soldier
