Michael Buble - Everything

In this crazy time, you make me sing,

You're every line...
You're every word...
You're everything:)

After reading about National Service in yesterday's "Sunday Times" paper, my perspective about it was slightly changed-slightly because I understand that going to NS is like going to a slimming centre where YOU get paid but I realised that it's more than just that: It's like another culture in itself with their own language, food (haha!) and many more...





However I was quite surprised that they mentioned love in the article:as in NSman-Girlfriend love. I thought it was quite trivial...heh heh...but this portion caught my attention:





NSman's message to Girlfriend: "Baby, no fun here..The sergeants made PT hell for us, you'll be proud, I'm on drill squad, can't wait for your call tonight..."

Girlfriend to NSman: "Dear,miss you always...it's just 5 more days dear,just 5!" (which means he just booked in and they're already feeling it...)

NSman to Girlfriend: "You are so sweet darling, you are my box of crayons in this drab and tough life..."

HAHAHAHA!!!! OK! Maybe I shouldn't comment so much on this 'cos this is out of my league....

It seems that most of the men who were asked to comment about their NS days mostly had good things to say about it....but NS also has its dark side, although this is really not the government's fault.

Negative peer pressure led my father to become an honorary contributor of global warming (he's actually eligible for the long service award for this honorary achievement)...

What's so good about smoking?

To endanger your health just for a few minutes of stinking "pleasure?" (No offence to all smokers out there but please be considerate to your fellow non-smokers who have the right to breathe clean,fresh air in their already stress-polluted lives...)

Heh heh..Ok,I'm digressing....hmm...I'm imagining how life would be like for my brother who would be enlisting in 4-6 years' time. Would there really be a change in him and would it be for the better? Would he get bullied by his platoon mates? Would he come back looking like David Beckham? (fat hope)

Sometimes I wished that they made it compulsory for females to go through NS...then all the ah-lians and those whiny, weak and pampered girls will understand that there's more to life than just their shopping and cam-whoring and hot dates and I don't know what (what do girls do nowadays anyway...)

But if they wanna implement this rule, which would no doubt, cause a huge uproar among the female population here, they can do it after I've gone to Uni...heh heh! For now, I'll just be contented,standing on the pier, waving my brother off with a big grin plastered on my face :D

"All Singaporean men start reminiscing about their army days when they get together. It's a little irritating but still really intriguing listening to their stories. One of my husband's friends wore paper underwear during field camp and it rained heavily. When it was time for inspection, all that remained were the rubber band bits." -quoted by actress Selena Tan in The Sunday Times
