Entering a New Phase in Life.

The countdown is almost over. It’s the last day of freedom, and perhaps having my blue IC in my possession until I finish my National Service. I didn’t really think much of army until I had about only 7 days left. I heard so many comments and stories regarding NS…really makes me wonder how I wanna spend this 2 years of my life.

To be honest, initially, I’m pretty depressed that I have to enlist 2 months earlier. I can do so much in this period of time, say going for another overseas trip? But when everything was decided and nothing can change it, I heard people saying the good side of going in earlier. 2 months to train me physically and mentally, so I could be in my best shape for BMT and already know how the system in army works. This point changed my initial point of view. Haha, or you can say it’s self-consolation…

Advice from friends is to ask me to control my temper and just follow instructions. I’ll keep that in mind. “Act blur, live longer.” I’m gonna bring a book in to camp to read. Like WHAT?! I never completed a book other than those Enid Blyton hard cover books. I guess that’s a way to kill time inside. I just watched one episode of Every Singaporean Son. Can totally relate to the video content…feeling all so depressed now.

I guess I made the best out of my last few weeks of freedom by catching up with some friends that I never met for some time. Also, not to forget a travel trip to Bali. One thing I’d definitely miss in this 2 years is travelling, UNLESS we really can execute the plan of going overseas after P.O.P. Haven’t enlist, already looking forward to booking out and POP hahaha. By November, all of us would be in army already! (Excluding Lawrence and Louis) I need more things to look forward to man, I don’t even know who can I call every night.

Last but not least, I hope my bunk mates are fun peeps and my buddy and I can take care of each other!
Go in a young boy, come out a real man.
