Well, if u guys didnt know, i was out of the army last wednesday.
During the time in between, i have been taking my time resting and instructing my understudy on what needs to be done and in the meantime, i was building gundam
Anyway, well, what can i say?? Time really does flies especially when you stop counting the weeks. But my view still remains the same, 2 years of NS is still a waste of time, 2 years isnt alot of time, nevertheless that was time that we could have used to find a job, to further our studies and do other stuff, instead, due to our gender and obligation to our country, those 2 years or less(depending on how fit we are) have been stolen from us by our country for their cheap labour.
Well, on the bright side, i have to say that NS has given me quite a few items... namely:
- Driving experiences -> after all, learning to drive isnt cheap and at least it's free and i get to have a feel of driving cars and lorries. Still, maybe it's the negative experiences that i had... that somehow i have been convincing myself that i suck at driving even though that might not be true.
- Shooting real bullets and tossing grenades -> How many of us have played fps? In real life, shooting isnt that easy even if we are fighting against stationary targets. Imagine our foreign counterpart who are hitting moving targets?
- Learning new swear words -> It's always good to know more words even if they are of the wrong type
- Unlocking anger as an emotion -> it was something that i had sealed up back in 1999/2000 , sometime during that period of my life, i told myself that no matter what happens, i will never get angry at all. Since then, anger has been replaced by just mild annoyance but it resurfaced during my course.
- Learn somethings about office politics -> I guess it's something good to know even though i dont really get what's the point of doing that, after all, in the army, backstabbing doesnt get u promotions, so what's the point?
Still, rather than dwell on the negative part, at least they had a forum with cheap stuff, so ya, thanks to them, i got 2 gundam for 50 dollars, i bought an ipod for a 100 bucks, i managed to score some decent ps3 games from them for 20-30 bucks..
Also, i did get to experience higher responsibilty once again. Not that i mind, but the last time i experienced that, was 5-6 years ago when i was still in sec school during scout activites.
So, now that NS is over, what am i doing now? Mostly slacking, but i am stll searching for a job. That's all.
Still, like i said 2 years back, if there's anything that u like to ask for NS, feel free to ask and i will try to answer them based on what i know?
Also, our chief of army is a retard.
