A Post on NS

Was watching 康熙来了earlier this morning and there's these 4 artistes who were invited on the show to share their NS experiences in taiwan. was sort of irritated by the episode though cos they also happened to invite 8 female models to listen to the guys' stories and apparently they found it extremely boring.

That leads me to think, are girls the least bit interested in guys' NS experiences?

I mean, having only served 6 months of NS, I'm probably not really in a position to say much abt wat my fellow peers have gone through in their 2~2.5 years of national service. But i'm sure each and everyone who's gone through NS will have his own story and experience that he is proud of. After all, NS is a totally new stage of life for many of the guys (except those who were in NCC before =))

Usually when guys talk abt NS, we compare with each other about how "siong" our training is, sort of like a mini-competition to see who's e most garang soldier.

And why? because the shit that we've gone through gives us pride.

Be it achieving gold in your ippt, or completing your SOC in 9mins flat, or having your 24km route-march in the rain, or starve for 5 days in Brunei during jungle-survival, or climbing over peaks and peaks of hills in ROC, all these tasks gives us a sense of achievement.

perhaps some girls will think "everyone has to go through wat.. wats e big deal?"

its true. but each soldier's experience is unique and special to him, and if you cant understand the things he has achieved, then at least do not look down on these achievements =)

Its okay if you find guys talking abt NS boring, because i assume u do not understand having not gone through it youself. But try to understand that its a whole new experience for the guy and he's jus trying to share with you what he's been going through.

majority of the models in e episode pointed out that they would be more interested in stories revolving around "accidents" rather than "training" and "tekan-ing".

to this i say : fuck u.

would u still think this way if the person who happened to die in the accident is your boyfren?

jus some thots =)
