BOO hoo!!! Counting down. 3... 2..... 1.....

The process of enlisting made me feel like . . .

Just kidding. I'm not that sad.

In fact, it made me happy. With all the people around me showing concern about me prior to my enlistment.

I know who are my worthy friends. Thank you very much. I feel touched and I feel nice.

There is a friend who developed photos for me to paste them on my NS Cardboard mirror.
I will stick it on the mirror, I'm bringing blu-tack along, haha.

There is a friend who said that I can call him anytime if I need help or whatever.
I'll call you if I really need your help, I really appreciate it. Though we don't really contact each other, but I know that you are eager to help me.

There is a friend who wants to have dinner with me before I enlist.
You put in effort in making things happen and I know that and I appreciate it.

There is a friend who wants to know which company and platoon I am in so that he can visit me when he visits Tekong.
It's really nice of you. When he visits me at Tekong, wah seh, I have visitor leh!! haha.

There is a friend who put my name on his army contact list.
I think I'm really honored.

There are friends who had lunches/dinners with me before I enlist.
Thanks ar, thanks for taking out some time from you all de hectic schedules to dine with me.

There is a friend who wants to send me to Tekong.
I doubt you'll come since you are the only one. It will be damn weird to send me with my parents, haha.

I know the friends that value our friendships.
I know it very well.

THANK YOU TO ALL THE NICE PEOPLE

POH MING XIAN, here it is!!

Botak ONG.

It's counting down to enlistment day. Another Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday; and Thursday I'll be in.

I will forgo a lot of things being a NSF. Without NS, I guess I will never be out of my own comfort zone. It's time for me to grow up and every single friend of mine can do it, so why can't I?

I've been hanging out late and spending quite a bit on outings and to make things worse, I'm not earning. I may find NS a good change? Sleep early, exercise daily, a sense of achievement at the end of the day, make more friends and more of it. . .

Am I aimlessly floating on this island not knowing where I'll end up in future?
I will find out where I'm heading soon.

In a recent gathering with the Montfort people, attendance was 8/8. The entire clique was present. Despite our hectic schedules, we made an effort to meet up and catch up. It was a happy day and we took a very nice group shot.

And another shot which I took. very nice.

I think after the Taiwan trip and NS tribulations (which I have yet to encounter), our bonds strengthened or perhaps its the bond between ME and the other people? It's a wonderful feeling to know that there are nice people around me and they are my friends.

On the contrary, another Montfort clique; the basketball people which were the ones I hanged out with during most of my Montfort days. It's rather saddening to realise that I'm not part of them anymore. I visited them last Wednesday and there's this "guest appearance" feel. Not the glam glam part of guest appearance but the coldness of being a guest. Haha. But still, different people have different routes to take, we move on and make new friends. Or our paths will cross once again?

All these are history.

And lastly, to copy the famous bloggers out there who often have advertorials.
