Wow! One month had passed, and there's three more months to go as a recruit!

7 June, I went to Tekong, with millions of questions in my mind. Who will be my buddy? Will he help me in one way or another? How is life in Tekong? Will I be able to adapt? Will my company be strict with us? Yet now, I'm loving National Service! Being in Warrent Company, the training was not as tedious as I thought it would be. The welfare was really good! (Being able to watch World Cup Finals!).

My bunk mates were really interesting and we really bonded well. Of course there were also 'bastards' who existed for the sole purpose of allowing people like us to bitch! Every brand new day, there's bound to be someone for us to bitch about because of what they have done which makes no sense, and this really pissed us off!

The food wasn't that bad too, They took in our feedbacks and the effort can be seen in the food they cooked!

There's a saying 'NS makes us dumber'. I personally would have to agree because my reaction became slower and my intellectual level dropped tremendously! I guess it's due to the commands given to us. All we do was just to follow them blindly. For that, I kept myself updated with the world by subscribing to Newsweek for three years. But possessing a positive mindset was vital. With that, I breezed though everything that I have to do. In addition, I'm terribly sick for three weeks!

Weekend was really precious to people like us! Thus every weekend, I would make sure that I will have a sense of achievement and connected back to the civillian world! (Signed up for Safra card for 10 years and two more cards which were for clubbing and eating!) Dance is essential for me too, hence every Saturday, I will go for Daniel's house class for one hour! It's really great! Every book in, I will be able to taste many different kinds of food because each of us will bring lots of snacks and stock up in our extra cabinet!

After one month, I'm just a typical Nsf now. Physical-wised: Bald, tanned, and not forgetting the black-framed specs. Thinking-wised, I beginning to feel appreciative in every little things in my life and being independent. Life might not be as happening as it used to be but I really learning new surviving skills everyday.

Thanks friends who messaged or called me during this period!
