tired.
bored.
apprehensive.

--------------------------------------

went for driving lesson and back to aj to exercise abit.
what the heck, running on the track feels totally different from running in a gym.
i've almost forgotten how bad it is.
=(
need to run more.
exercise more.
omggggg obstacle course too.

having driving lessons virtually every day is indeed starting to become a real chore.
it's tiring and yeah maybe starting to get a little boring.
but i have no choice.
why?
all thanks to National Service.

well okay, of course i know that it's inevitable and it's something absolutely necessary.
something that every fit and able Singaporean guy must go through.
most of us try to look at it positively and believe me,
i've tried.
and i'll continue trying.
well, i guess i've succeeded for most of the time during the past few months.
the heartpounding fear that i felt when i thought of going to NS at 12 had mostly transformed into well, acceptance of the inevitability.
still, it still sucks to think that in a couple of weeks,
we won't have much freedom anymore.

plus the bloody driving school just has to move to woodlands next year.
thanks a load man.
so i have no choice but to try to finish as many lessons as i possibly can right now.

there are but kinda 2 ways to look at NS.
One: It's a waste of time.
Two: It's a necessary sacrifice.
well, laugh at me all you want, but i'd prefer to look at it the second way.
who cares about the selfish, shortsighted people who claim to be "pragmatic", and who think that NS should be abolished and the funds allocated to other sectors.
nobody likes it, but i guess someone has to do the dirty job.
and well guess what?
it's us.

no matter how hard it gets down the road,
and even though i'm feeling like crap right now,
what can i say?

my fellow friends,
time to grit our teeth and do our part.
like the men we are supposed to be.

even though most of us [including myself] may just go on to hate it,
i believe that someday when we look back,
it'll all be worth it.

not to forget that the people around us are going to have to make huge sacrifices too.
our friends, families and girlfriends.
xing ku ni le, shurlene!
haha..
at least we'll be going through this together.
=)

to all those who've been enlisted and who are going to be enlisting soon,
all the best my friends.
seeya there soon.
=D
