A Short Update

It's been more than a month since I blogged. Sometimes I wonder, why am I blogging so little nowadays? I used to love blogging and done it everyday so as to record down the good or sometimes bad memories in my everyday life.

Life has been going well so far. Being 24th July today, it means that I have less than a month to go for the dreaded National Service. Singapore is one of the very few countries with compulsory NS, I guess I must be too "lucky" to have been a Singaporean since military is definitely not my cup of tea.

Been going out quite often lately, making full use of my remaining days of freedom before it gets taken away for 2 years. I really wonder how I am going to survive in a fully controlled, dominating environment that sometimes leaves you with no dignity to speak of. Basically, you listen to whatever you are told and do whatever you are told to do. In short, it's like a robot being controlled by its owner with no chance of rebelling.

The time is creeping nearer, the tension is getting stronger. Of course, I am still unwilling to serve in the military. I shall only say that I am doing this only because I am being forced to. If given a choice, I would not have chosen anything to do with the military.
