Today marks 3 months and 2 days working in this firm. Its quite a big transition from 2 years of service in a big organisation ( you know la, ….army) to wearing a tie with office wear, sitting down in front of a laptop and most importantly, acting busy every now and then. For those who had been through national service would know, when you are inside, it feels so terrible booking in and out every weekend (I mean those who stay-in, for those 8-5 maggots, just curse you guys to hell) and wondering what you should do with no internet and television. And definitely, when you are have completed your national service, there are sure to be aunties coming up to you,

“NS finish liao ah?” (Obviously in hokkien, but just translating)

then you will reply, “Ya, finish NS liao!”

“Wah very fast hor, two years over like blink of the eye”.

“ya ya ya, if really blink of the eye over, then I think already blink for million times liao.”

Sometimes I just don’t understand, why females think that national service is short and guys keep whining about very siong la, hot, shack and stuffs like that.

For myself, I just feel that it’s a total different experience where you cant have it either in school or work.

And for the females out there, remember to show a (WOW, THAT’S INTERESTING) look when your guy friends or boyfriends starts to talk (whine) about army.

After lunch, ts, zt and I was at the pantry chit chatting away and as you know, guys will start to say about army. That’s definite! Surely will start to talk about national service one. I was amazed by zt’s passion about army when he starts to talk about his extention of ORD date, his eyes was filled with HONOR AND GLORY! Hahaha how I wish I can escape from that horrible organisation, I can never think of someone ( other than officers ) extending ORD date so that he can participate in some exercise.

Those who are working right at this very moment and also reading this, PLEASE, give a serious look and start pressing your calculator once in a while, don’t let those seniors/managers see you smiling off at your workstation. CAUSE, working is not fun at all and it wont cause you to smile too.
