On National Service

This is my second freaky post, but I am still going to say this: I am actually looking forward to National Service.

This exact same feeling was also experienced when I ended my secondary school days and was about to start a new chapter in JC.

It's a kind of excitement -- excited over the unknown, excited over a new environment and a new phase in your life. You know, you get excited over something new, at least for me I do look forward to immersing myself into an new environment.

And of course, you get paid a few hundred bucks a month to be fit. Period. It's two years of no-brainer's work.

Personally, I feel that all those horror stories about how physically and mentally daunting National Service can be is overrated. Judging from all those rules and regulations and facilites that Mindef has to pamper us, I feel that NS will not be as tough as it sounds. (Unless you guys are talking about the HORROR stories of meeting the supernatural on Pulau Tekong, which I firmly believe that these encounters would be the only terrifying part of NS)

Or perhaps I've been successfully brainwashed by Mindef through their constant propaganda messages and ads on local media.

Nevertheless, I would expect some form of physical and mental training during NS, but I seriously doubt that it would THAT demanding.

So, NS, here I come!
