Yea..and its so right that on 8th june, when the clock strikes 12midnight...i bet i will still be in a state of thoughts...thinking abt what would happen when i enlist for NS on 9th june!
I could still rmb the 1st time i received the enlistment letter. Thats was about 3 years ago when i was awaiting the admission for poly. I could tell that i was not ready for NS and i defer it. When i was young, i was sort of scared of NS..i always told my mum that i would migrate so that i do not have to serve NS. At my age that time, NS seems like a horror or disaster to me. I am scared and really dreaded the feeling of reaching 18yrs which is eligible for NS. I dreaded the feeling of being away from my family...my home...my friends...i dreaded the feeling of having to endure the hard trainings and "tekans" frm NS. Which is why i do not want to serve NS. And everytime i say that, my mum would just laugh it away..she always told me" Son, one day u will have to serve the army like what ur father did".......
Fast forward to 12th april 2011, i received the 2nd enlistment letter from NS..and this time, its for real....=X i could no longer defer it..and i'll be over-aged by the time i defer for another few years...a year ago, i kept telling ppl that i cfm will enlist for NS in 2011.....so when this letter came, i was not too surprised by it..i knew that it will come someday..but the surprise i was not prepared for was that the date is set on 9th june which is abt 1mths plus frm april...what a surprise for me! i no longer have the time to think and enjoy while trying for napfa test in july...
JUNE!! hahaha..time really flies frm april to june..its has been so fast that i do not really know what i did in between these months..day flies like nobody business..counting down..its getting lesser till today 8th june 12.55am. The pace is simply so fast....but this time, i know that the time has come. In my mind, there is 50% of excitement about what i will exprience..50% of worry because its gonna be a new experience..a experience that will train me as a soldier..a time where i learn new things..endure hardships..to prepare myself for the future....
Leading to the 9th june...i began to have fun more often..rest more..to enjoy life before i enlist.
3days before enlistment, i prepared the list of things to be bought..watch..slippers...handphone...detergents..soap...personal belongings....my mum was even more kan chiong than me..she kept asking me whther three is anything else to buy..whther it is enough to last..she even wonder what will happen in NS..hahaha! but i know all she did was for my own good...Also, i met up with friends at airport once to have a reunion and farewell lunch..bidding us goodbye to NS...
Another reunion and farewell dinner was on tuesday..which was what i went for earlier...somehow the atmosphere today was quite special...there was laughter..happiness..love..care..concern..and a tinge of saddnes (she bu de) to be exact...well, because once me and roy enlist..it will be most probably a month or more before we can meet up...after that slowly, there will be more people enlisting in august..september and november..one by one....the goodbyes...wishes..care...and hugs from my friends and mummy regi was perhaps the most important and the one that last in my memory when i am in tekong...i know for sure, i am gonna miss them..miss the times when we are having fun...and yes, enlisting isnt something that means that the person is going away and neva to be back..but somehow the feeling of she bu de is still there..i guess that is human nature after all...=D
I rmb mummy regi once said that when everyone of us enlist, there will be lesser time to meet up..we will meet new ppl..new social circles...that the clique of now may actually be less active..and may not rmb her as well....to a certain extent, i do agree to her statement..because once we enlist..we will meet new ppl..ppl whom we mix ard more often..but one thing i am sure is...the clique and mummy regi now will always play a part in my memories..memories and pictures that painted my life...love you guys always! =DD
This post will be the last post before i enlist for NS! hahaha..once i book out, i will continue to update...=DD
