yes. you guessed it right. that's my enlistment letter. that is the foreword to my losing 2 years of my life for the sake of Singapore.



IT'S MY LETTER INFORMING THAT I WILL BE ENLISTING.



ON THE 6TH OF JANUARY 2006.


yup. funny how i was bemoaning earlier in the day, why my letter is still not here. well, i got it! -_-

its interesting you know, when i look back on life. a few years ago, when i was still the innocent and sweet primary school student, i knew that i had to go NS some day. but then again, i didn't really think much of it since it was still so far away.

then in secondary school, i suddenly realised it wasn't going to be long before i head off to the offshore chalet (pulau tekong...). but again, i thought it was still sooo far away, and forgot all about it.

lo and behold, at the end of my J1, my cousin went off for his NS. then, it dawned on me.

ONE MORE YEAR.

but i thought of my A levels, and forgot about it again.

now.... with just 3 weeks more to the A levels, i suddenly realised.

I'm here. With less than a few months to my enlistment.

i actually survived my adolescence. when i thought that i might just wither away. of course it is by God's grace.

NS is going to be a whole new chapter of my life... i have no idea how i'm to survive in there, but i know that He will be there. :D

now isn't that comforting? no, seriously; it is comforting. ah well... we've all heard of all the terrible tales and sadistic trainers. but somehow, they all survived. so why can't i?
