It’s been 22 months. Today is ORD. I’ve finally got back my pink IC.
Looking back, many things had happened over this period of time. The difficulties, obstacles, joyful times, all the things I’ve gone through. Went overseas 4 times, did 7 live descents, the many ‘first’ times, etc. All these add up to my experiences in life. Until now, I wonder, is NS a waste of time? Is it too long or short? There is no right or wrong answer. I do not have one too. This journey has bring about a change in everyone, possibly. And the change varies in the duration i guessed.
Before enlisting, you dislike the fact and thought you will never want to miss NS after ORD. Cos it all adds up to your misery.
On ORD, you realised it has finally come to an end. It’s over. Everyone bids farewell and steps on to another phase in life. Subsequently, you will begin to think of the times, yourself, your buddies. You will miss NS one way or another.
So now, life begins in a new way. The future is a mystery. Whatever comes, be steady in your stride.
