good old days during ns

when i watched 'the academy' on astro wah lai toi just now, i can't stop thinking about the good old days during my three-month stay in Sabah for National Service. in the drama just now, the police training cadets went into the jungle for adventure or something as a group. in ns, we went into the jungle and stayed there as well, though it's only one night adventure. i learned alot there ( but forgot most of the skills now..hehe ) including how to set up a tent, surviving skills, what leaves can be eaten, making traps etc. i learned how to work together as a team also cause during the 'journey' into the jungle, selected trainees will pretend like they're legs were hurt, broken, cramped, etc..so as a team, we must help them ( it's the time to show off our first aid and surviving skills )..though we knew they're just acting but we still have to help them seriously...cause....trainers were evaluating! wakakakakakakakakaka!

the surroundings of my tent in the jungle sucks...it's so dirty and uncomfortable...blamed me for being a city boy..but still! but anyway, it's a good experience and i had fun! for those who are selected for the new batch, congratulations! seriously, you are darn lucky to be chosen..it's a priceless experience! go for it and i am sure you will say 'i'm proud to be chosen for ns'~ i miss my camp in Sabah, i miss the trainers, i miss the food( can't beleieve i'm saying this! ), i miss the activities, and i miss my ns friends very much.

the most favourite activity when i was in ns gotta be footdrill..i love to drill/march very much,i don't know why..say i'm crazy! but i'm lovin it! it started in primary school but i fell in love with it only when in secondary school when i was a member for st.john ambulance..i think it's very cool! hahah! it can dsicipline myself also, with the commands..if i do anything wrong, i'll get it! the punishment? push-ups! i even volunteered myself for st.john ambulance malaysia's squad for merdeka parade for two consecutive years, at Putrajaya and Merdeka Square respectively..it feels very good when you see everyone in the squad march nicely. i used to give commands back in secondary school and competitions (doesn't look like?haha), i'm satisfied if i see my juniors march nicely but if they don't..i'll screw them up kao kao..you know what, my juniors in secondary school were scared of me...cause i'll scold them if they did anything wrong..i was a strict senior that time...hahah! those were the days~
