Boys to Men...

Ah... Sunday...
The one day in the whole week when even waking up feeling like a chore...
(yet if you don't wake up if feel likes you wasted such a wonderful day of rest...
which you are suppose to rest...? -_-;)

In a blink of an eye (ok maybe a few million blinks), 2yrs have pass since i 1st step onto Tekong... Now everytime when i see a NSF friend, the 1st thing i ask would be: when you ORD?
(Kindda sad though cause if i didn't sign the paper i should be outta here already....)

Back to the point, after asking that i'll usually follow up with: What's your plans next?
This is where i start to see how NS really turn boys to men...

I once had a friend whom i knew from the net. She despise the guys around her. She was only 14 back then, standing at 170+cm, doesn't exactly stand out as a pretty face, got rejected by a guy or 2 and always wonder why... She had quite an attitude but that another story for another day...
She once mention she may not date another guy again... unless he completed his NS...
She claims that NS transfrom boys to men by implanting fear into their naive, boyish little heart, letting them face to face with the death himself, having encounters with the beings of the Netherworld... Only by this means do they really wise up and 'reborn' to be a true man...

(As you can tell, she's a pure psycho and went all boys to die....)

I like to beg a different to her comment as i 1st-handedly been through the ordeal and see how the transformation works...
What we guys went through isn't as cruel as what she claims (maybe worse =P) There will be sweat and tears along the way but the whole process is not meant to kill you but to let you think...

During BTM, we'll be put through some hellish training to prepare our body. Then the next 19months, we'll be posted to different unit/vocation where we'll go through mind numbing daily routine which bore us outta our mind or/and sanity.
While all this may sound simple to ladies or NSmen-to-be out there, only those who really been through these 2 years of what some call 'hell' will they understand how much it have change our mindset. Change us so we (as boys) will finally think bout our future, like men...

People whom i have asked so far who would ORD soon, all are able to gimme a very detail plan of their career path, road to study and for some even savings for marrage... One told me how his worried over his collage funds, another wonder if he should go overseas to study with his girlfriend, yet another wish he will get married soon (long story...)...


Anyway, here's my best wish for all ORD(ing) friends out there...
May god speed be with you...
