I was in a cab when I realised I was once a regular on the CTE. I was stripped off the priviledge of being driven around and this long stretch of road has since become so unfamiliar. The widening of the lanes, ongoing construction work, relocation of the ERP gantries. I used to remember the different charges for individual gantries. I knew the exit of Havelock road stands the gantry which deal the greatest damage to cashcard; I could have asked the driver to use the Outram exit instead.

It'd not been easy, for this transition. I see, I feel, I know, yet my hands are tied behind my back and I couldn't do anything about it. Just let me rant, for the only thing I can do for myself.
