It was 21st December, the last work day of year 2007. After a hearty meal with my colleagues, I took a nice slow walk from my workplace to the train station. It was quite chilly but somehow I enjoyed it. With my Shures stuck tightly into my earbuds and my hands snugly tucked in the pockets of my jacket, I strolled down the streets.
There was hardly anyone on the streets. Most people should be out partying, it is nearing Christmas after all.
I stopped to snap some shots. There was this huge Apple advertisement and I guess the Mac fan in me just had to take it. The amazing white ear phones. I have been told often that my photos hardly have myself in them and this time it is no exception.
I am uncertain if it is really that serene or that my Shures isolated all the street noise. Either ways, it was really nice to have your favorite music playing on (which by the way happens to be Ben Folds Five's Brick) and taking in all the sights on this peaceful night.
It feels good to have some time to yourself and for that moment, without a single care.
I guess it serves to remind myself to be appreciative of what goes on around in the midst of everything. It is easy to be drowned in your everyday life and forget what it means to enjoy moments like this — the feeling of being alive.
