National Service 2006 - Terrific Times

National Service. Every youth sighs in despair at the idea of heading to one of those stupid campsites and being tortured for 3 whole months in the absence of good food, entertainment, parents, friends and etc. And for the guys, all the worse; being BALD.


I thought about the very same thing back then. Since I deferred my session, I was sent to a camp somewhere nearby, in Templer's Park, Rawang. Good thing was, the camp comprised of 80% chinese and it was easier to mix around. Getting up every morning at 5.30am was a pain in the ass. Showering with cold water was worse. Then we had to assemble for a sing-along session of national anthem and the lame camp song. Then there was PE, which was ultra lame too. Basically everything about the camp was lame. Until I met the people and got the know them better. 


I guess from then on, I really did look back upon those times in NS as terrific times. Since there isn't any pictures to share anymore (most of them went missing), I guess this could do :

It was carefree, it was warm and it was above all, memorable. I miss those awesome days.
