*Mixed Feelings*
Well today is the day that we have been waiting and planning for since a long time ago. A yr ago we were still contemplating the possibilty of my brother skipping his NS, but that would mean giving him is PR so he prob has to settle elsewhere out of singapore since s'pore won't give him back his PR status easily. So he might need to go back to m'sia or mayb go Aust to study and settle down there. I gez he's reluctant to do his NS...but he doesn't have a choice cos we obviously do not have the money to send him elsewhere and he grew up here, it's asking him to leave everything behind and start his life elsewhere.
So a yr later, he's going in. And as much as i admit that it's gd riddance, the last day he was still a free man (which was last nite..) reminded me of many memories- bad ones i suppose. I really hate this NS thing. Hated it, but learnt to accept it unfortunately bcos i've been thru 2 men's NS days. And i remembered the relunctance and helplessness as they were recruited in. The anxiety, the unknown, the pinnings...the hope that these 2 yrs and a half would pass by quickly, the frustrating military system..nothing but painful memories i gez. It's not even me who's in this whole army shit. I gez his gf would feel the same pain. NVM like they always say...TWO years will pass very fast. By then i would be....hmm..25 years old. OMG!
Check this out. It's for pple like mi who has a great hp, which can do almost everything except having a FM radio. Now this looks fashionable enuff.http://www.nokia.com.sg/nokia/0,,74201,00.html
