Hey everybody! Finally booked out to taste some bit of freedom after 2 weeks being confined in that miserable island. Everyday we see SIA aeroplanes flying in and out of Changi Airport and I visualise, IF ONLY it could be me on any of that flight. haha. Being in NS made me appreciate every little things that we used to take for granted from the washing machine to home cooked food. Just 2 weeks in Tekong made me miss Ngee Ann a bit... even though we study relatively lesser here (still do attend lectures on various topics like team building, first aid, national education etc) but in terms of peer-to-peers relationship, it is much more complicated in NS as being in the leadership batch and many people are trying to fight for that exclusive slots into command school, often resulting in actions that aren't very nice at times.
Anyway 2 years of my life shall now be dedicated to serving the nation (talking like this due to the national education lectures, i supposed) and the first 2 weeks had been great. Saw familiar faces here and there, saw long lost friends from secondary and primary school days and even met one of my commanders whom we used to club together!
Ms Fong, haha, you are so anxious! i think the sex of the baby still cannot be determined at 15 weeks right?
Thanks to the lecturers who had kindly helped us pay for the chalet, we had great fun playing dumb games overnight (esp Matte rite?) =)
Take Care
