Life at National Service

Reported at NS camp @
White Resort, Balik Pulau.
Went into squadron Sukhoi.
Glad to have understanding,
hilarious roommates in my Dorm.

It was day 2 when I got my hair shaved.
That was when the Butterworth, Kedah & Ipoh batches reported in.
Members from my squadron increased till 69 plus minus those who
were sent back due to medical history.

Jurulatih-s started introducing themselves,
sad to say,
their perut all
BUNCIT-BUNCIT belaka!
Haiz, what a bad example.
Well, it was kinda expected though
as most of them
scooped alot of rice &
ended up unfinished.
Memang disgusted at
their indifferent attitude,
leaving the leftovers
especially rice at the sink
after they wash their trays.
And oh yea, forgotten to mention,
6 meals - More or less
eat sleep eat sleep eat sleep
without any vigorous activities.
Breakfast, tea break;
Lunch, tea break;
Dinner, supper... Ishk!
Farm your belly at NS indeed =.="

There were Character Building classes
meant for primary kids,
drilling sessions which were appalling!
Our first assignment - Kontrak Kita Janji
which we secured Runner Up,
7 points behind Hornet.

When I first enrolled for NS,
I had indeed fallen for a girl from Hornet
at first sight...
We get to know each other
through module 1 Character Building lessons.
However, after module 2 when she gets
separated into another group,
we stopped meeting each other
for quite some time...

Things turned out worse
when I found out from her
that she was avoiding me on purpose.
She replied to me after I wrote to her,
and that night, I shed my first tears
in year 2009.
The next day, I had sore throat
and high fever
Cos I breathed through my mouth
as my nasal airway was blocked after
the tears.
The air was obviously very dirty and damp!
Adding to the fact that I ate loads of
mandarin oranges...
Coughing badly as well..

One day before going back for CNY break,
I was among the early birds to receive an ang pow
before CNY.
Fell onto the tarred ground,
my legs somehow crossed
when I started to sprint
during jasmani session.
Had a bad cut, nasty wound right above my elbow.
It wasn't embarrassing though
as I was back on my feet
after pushing both my hands on the ground and launched airborne,
somehow performing so-called
breakdance move or whatsoever.
Zzzz.
My teammates were praising me
but I retired to the Medic for the 2nd time
to have my wound treated.

Before going back for CNY break,
I managed to talk to her once more.
She apologised and I too apologised...
Whatsoever, I don't think I'm interested
in knowing her more
after the way she treats me..
Disappointment and remorse?
Yeah..!

Let bygones be bygones...
NS wasn't as interesting as
what I've expected earlier.
My eagerness was turned down by routined, dull activities.
Hopefully, after the CNY break,
lessons would be much practical.
Can't wait for water sports, abseiling, teambuilding events,
obstacle course, having M16 rifle range practises and etcetera.
Leaving for NS on 1st Feb by noon.
Adios penang kia-s..
