Thoughts of a pre-enlistee.
The Army.
Since my primary school days,
i've always dreaded for the arrival of this very day.
Well, i guess nobody is looking forward to it either.
I still remember when i young, i kept taking note of how many years more would it take for me to have to be enlisted.

Often, I have seen many army men waiting for the bus to tekong,
loitering around whitesands.
and now, the ball has to be passed upon us.. the dragon babies.

well, there might be some of us who are curious,
what is going through the minds of a pre-enlistee..
are you afraid?
are you worried?
are you prepared?
well, for me, NS is something everyone has to go through.
and since, i was once in NCC, i would duo duo sao sao have a slight advantage over others liao.. (in terms of knowledge of commands, drills)
so for me, i am not so worried yet.

I ain't scared of all the punishments etc,
I ain't scared of the hardship tt i would face.
I ain't scared of the lack of hair on my head.
However, knowing that 9 days is all i have left to that dreadful day,
can still be quite a chore.

In 9days time,
i would be going to see people tt i will be suffering with for the next 3 months.
people that would go through all the scoldings/punishments with me.
i will discover and interact with people from all walks of life,
and eventually, appreciate that there are people out there, making NS bearable.
They say your 1st 3 months would be the most memorable moments of ur NS life,
and i'm going to treasure it. hopefully.
