Something different

I have been feeling rather nonchalant about this whole issue of entering the NS for my brief stint there. After all, I have heard that it was filled with lectures on national education, and that's probably the most exciting thing. So prior to today, I didn't bother much about it, carefully leading my lazy routine.

Hence, it didcome to a surprise for me when people actually remembered and started wishing me the best of luck and stuff like that. It seems like my parents are also taking it more seriously than I do, getting me to pack my bag as soon as possible and making it seem like I was going to be away for 5 weeks. Most amusing though is my sister who passed a bar of chocolate to me as a parting gift, of sorts. Still, I'm thankful for these little measures (:

I guess having gone through 'hardcore' camps with the scouts does make me slightly complacent about the whole matter. Perhaps that's the source of my nonchalance. Even seniors who have gone through the physical BMT claimed that scout camps are tougher physically, just that the long duration of the BMT wears down one's mental faculties fast. In any case, I felt a little jolt of excitement a while ago, and it came as a result of my anticipation of the whole package of new experience - the baldification, the lectures, the meeting of new friends, etc. Hope the next 5 days will be interesting!

Speaking of being bald, that's probably the most worrying part. And no Mel, this is not an issue of vanity! haha I have never purposefully shave my hair bald before, but I can already imagine the monk-ish look that will ordain my countenance from tomorrow onwards =( oh man, what a potentially scary experience for my virgin hair. Poor hair.

Feeling drowsy already. I think I'll probably get more sleep in army than I have been getting these few days. Anyway, I have decided that if I ever get bored, I shall find some people to call at night. Messages to keep me entertained are highly welcomed too :D

Till Saturday, I guess.
