i so wanted to blog about sunday.. but i've got no pictures.. i'm actually waiting for one of the gang to actually post the pics so i can use it.. or someone to just send me the pics! sunday was like one of the best days i've had since leaving school and the gang. i'll write more about it when i've received the pictures..
i haven't been contributing intelligently to this blog recently. i guess it's the NS-effect taking a toll on my already degenerating mind. (yeah yeah.. blame the NS again!). seeking to clear my mp3 list of mindless, brainless and totally dull and boring songs, i came across God Bless the USA, sung by the top 10 finalist of AMI2. somehow, it tinkered questions in my mind; would i really die for this country? would i lay down my life? is it even possible to fight for our nation? Am i proud to be a Singaporean? so many questions.. so little time..
i understand the need for national service, the need to be ready for anything that may come our way. we don't quite know what's going to happen in the near future (who knew airplanes could fly straight into tall buildings in an attempt to make a point?). but looking through the pages of recent papers, and actually being in natinal service for 6 months, i can't help but feel a little jaded about the whole "i'm proud to serve my country", "national service is a must for every man!" shite. i dunno why. i guess we've been living in a comfort zone for far too long to not realise the importance of such defence. having said that, i still have no answers to my previous questions.
i remember telling hamidah that ".. when the first bomb comes down on us, i'll be on the first plane out.." on hindsight, i feel quite ashamed of saying that. hah!
--but that's all in the pass--
and now, our beloved government has shortened the time period for national service! yay!! ok, it does not really affect me totally. but my ORD is now 2 months earlier than it previously was. Yay!!
i just ran out of things to say!!! how odd!! my mind just went blank (cut to prelims 2003 Lit Paper 1, John Donne section)how awful!! i guess i'll have to stop now!
