Of New Year and National Service (pt 1)

"4,3,2,1" Yay,bid farewell to 2010 and let us welcome 2011!

Yes, yes. After 3 days of celebrating Christmas eve, Christmas and Boxing Day, now everyone starts counting down for the arrival of new year! *Just in case you don't know what is "boxing day" ,check it out here!

Well, while everyone is counting down the arrival of another brand new year joyfully. I'm alone, with some mates waiting the DAY to come. Oh yes, you guess it so right, the day that we gotta report ourselves to our own camp under National Service, or PLKN (Program Latihan Khidmat Negara).

The story began few months ago.I couldn't remember who was that fella who sms-ed or facebook-ed me and told me the namelist of National Service is out! Without any hesitation, i grabbed my mobile phone and started typing my IC number and sending out to PLKN insanely. However, the more you urged to know, the longer you wait for reply. After like 2-3 days,duh, you guys know how efficient is Malaysia government department, I finally got the reply! Something irony is they sent me a "TANIAH",sometimes the word congrats might not be a good sign.I was on the way to Nilai for a competition but I was doomed by that news, I HAVE BEEN CHOSEN TO GO NATIONAL SERVICE!!! What on earth is going on?!

Oh, whatever, that's fate,let just accept it. So, few months passed... By the time I was about to finish my SPM,another list of National Service released, again! I checked on the net,found out I'm in the first batch,Kem Terkok in Sg.Siput, Perak! I don't know whether shall I feel glad for myself as first batch has more extra holidays for CNY and so on. Nor shall I feel not-so-lucky? Like, if I'm in second batch, I can go working as part time, earn some pocket money, buy some gadgets that I never had.....so on and so forth.

Oh well, I accepted my fate again. Haha, you know, be optimistic always and I believe it wasn't that bad after all. At least I have time to go applying some scholarships and so on after my National Service and release of SPM results.

Anyway, 4 days until New Year. 7 days until I'm leaving to National Service.

Wish me luck and I will be back! :)
