Listening To:Linkin Park-In The End
Mood:Deep Thought and Serious
I just got back from a conversation with a friend of mine on MSN using my private email address only me and him has the email..
He called me up and said to me that he wanted someone to have a discussion with since i have nothing better to do than smoke and watch MV's i entertain him..The topic that we were discussing is pretty sensitive to all boys that are age 18 years and above..Ironically the topic was about National Service..
He is sixteen this year so he still has around 2 or 4 years left before NS call him up..He asked me why do we have to go all the trouble of NS..I said to him 'We as guys are natural born defenders so to serve NS means to protect everything that you hold dear in Singapore' that was my answer..He kept silent for awhile..
After i asked him 'is he still there?' he said to me 'Eiss just think 2 years or 1.5 years wasted with that kinda time we can work and earn more money monthly than what NS offers'..I said 'ya know sometimes it's not about the money or rewards that you get it's the meaning of why you are doing it in the first place' and i continue 'I know it's hard to watch some of your friends go on and study further but you also have the same choice like me,my friends are furthering their studies so they defer for NS while me on the other hand i want to serve NS not because of other people's interference it's what i wanna do' you can apply for defer NS but one day you eventually end up in either the Army,CD or SPF..I guess you can say that the government wants us guys to be prepared when the need to protect our country arise..
We may not know the value of a NS now but when the time comes trust me you'll be glad to have been a part of NS..'I know for certain that we are gonna be left behind in the current working world earning only about 500 to 600 bucks when we are in NS but in return we learn how to defend what is ours and on top of that we grow as a person we learn what we are capable of what we truly are..' I said to him..
He said to me that what i said had some good points in them and he will do his best to appreciate NS more,than he says thanks and we both log off..
I can relate the fear that he has now i once had that kind of feeling but with only one week left till i am officially an NS men i learn why we do this service..Till we meet again Valenti out
