Henry Lamer and the Beginning of an End
oh man.. its been eons since i last blog. Mainly for 2 reasons:
1) I keep having thing to blog about, but once i sat in front of the com, all those ideas disappear.
2) My browser for some reason, just simply refuse to let me format my text, so i simply refuse to blog only in black and white, even though that the theme of my blog. =p
but here i am finally.. =) As the saying goes, better late than never.
today, i want to talk about something that all guys serving NS, look forward to, yup.. thats rite: ORD.
ORD marks the day when i finish my NS life. On the 7 of Nov 2009, i will officially be a civilian again.
this few days, i kinda feel insightful regarding the fact that i will be finishing my national service. why? coz i feel that my NS life has really made me a different person. Better or worse. i dunno. Probably both.
I was planning to do this piece when i officially finish. But since the "feeling" to blog is now, why waste it?
For those of you who read this blog and still rmb, i'm sure you know that i probably discuss about my NS life in around 3-4 entries. Perhaps now i will do a summary, but without divulging impt stuff at the same time. haha..
8 January 2008 was the day that i first enlisted. I think i can be fairly confident in saying that, i am probably the only recruit that my parents were not there to accompany me. My parents asked me whether i need them to come with me, i told them no, coz i think NS is nothing special. And its not like i am going away for a very long time. So as the rest of the recruits wave goodbye to their parents, i was standing there alone, mentally preparing myself for a regimental lifestyle (again#).
(#- why again? coz my life in my school's ODAC was also regimental, so i was more or less prepared.)
But clearly my first week in NS totally changed my perception of NS. Coz it was a very relaxing affair with nothing but meals and talks. Nothing physical that i can't handle.
But how wrong i was when i tot that it will stay this way throughout my whole NS life.
Fitting the criteria to be a Emergency Response Specialist(ERS), i was chosen together with a couple of others to progress to another location for training.
If the first week was heaven, this second week is definitely hell.
The training was very physically challenging for me. It was a total culture shock for me. So much so that i was super depress by evening time, and even shed some tears when i called home that night.
But fortunately/unfortunately, my persistent knee problem did not enable me to stay long in that course, lasting only for a short one month, and i was officially out of course and waiting for next part of my NS life to begin. Therefore, i had to say goodbye to the hefty salary, the thrill of the job and of course my frenz there.
Thankfully, i was allocated to the medical orderly course, praying hard that eventually i will end up in a fire station as an ambulance crew. Sadly to say, at the end of the 6 week course, i ended as an medical instructor in camp, which is at Boon Lay.
I stay in Serangoon.
But fortunately, my role as a medical instructor took another twist, when i found out that my main duty would be as a public medical instructor. Henceforth, i will be traveling all over Singapore, imparting first aid skills and knowledge to the general public.
Not trying to boast but, i certainly believe that my public speaking skills, which has been groomed since secondary school, certainly enable me to excel in this job. And i am proud to say that i have managed to improve further, when it comes to public speaking. Hopefully, this will be an asset when i step out into the civilian world again.
Now, after so long, i am about to say goodbye to the very thing that has taken up about one year and 10 months of my life. I guess i did indeed learn quite a lot of stuff from my NS life, especially in term of first aid. And of course, i have made many good frenz throughout my NS life, whom i am sure i will stay in contact with.
But at the end of the day, i still think 2 years of service is really too long. If it is for about 6 months, i would encourage everyone to actually try the taste of NS life, i certainly believe that you will learn something there.
Finally, its time to step out into the world i left not long ago, and begin a new phase of my life...
