I'll get there. Because I'm already on my way.


we learn, we adapt, we live.


I haven't changed much. I believe I am still very much the same me as i was back a year ago.
NS has been a bitter sweet. The friends I made, I wouldn't have want it otherwise. 6 months has since past since I was conscripted and have a long way to go but already, I felt I've taken back more than one.


They say NS makes a boy a man, I disagree. You are who you are, you make your own. To me, NS is a phase not a process, what it does however, is open your eyes.


In service, you learn to accept what's completely unacceptable, it is where your values are challenged, your rights put behind, your morals tested. Many a times decision are made not by choice but by instinct or survival. NS allows you to meet and know all sorts of people. But most importantly, it makes you appreciate EVERYTHING in life just that tad bit better. And no, I am not even talking about Hot Baths or Television, but the simplest of things like people watching or waiting for a bus.


Before NS I curse and swear when I miss my train, or when I have to wait anywhere more than 10 minutes for a bus.

never again.


Because in that, I see the skies, I see the colourful vehicles zipping pass, I see a chirping bird, a lovely elderly couple, I see things that were once mere everyday nothings. Suddenly they meant something, they became life's little pleasures, they became the freedom to live.


Life's different when you're in service. It sharpens your personality, the one that you can never hide. The real you. Some do well, others fall out. But it doesn't really matter, because much as I hate to be doing what I did not subscribe to, I believe I will take something from this when it's time for conclusion. It's only half a year, and I've made some very good friends, reconnected with old acquaintances, I realised the meaning of friendship, loyalty, betrayal, selflessness, stupidity, integrity, patience, endurance, peace, hope, love.. the list is endless, it really is. & everyday I see a little something new, a little something different, never are two days ever the same in camp.


NS is life in a hurricane , it makes eighty, two and twenty, one. If you get what I mean. & I really do hope to get out a much wiser person, a better friend, a stronger lover.


And I know deep inside, despite much of the over-pouring negativity, I've slowly come to accept what I've got to do little better. I am no longer walking with my head down; my legs are now in rhythm. The next step, heads held high, and a steadfast march to the swing of adulthood.


I'll get there.


I know I will..


Because I'm already on my way (:
