If you were to ask me, “How is ah-mee?” and I was given time to think through it thoroughly, I would say, Ah-mee messes things up.
Oh, if you’re wondering why I use “AH-MEE” to substitute for the you-know-what, that’s ‘cos I hope by doing so, secret government agents (if there’s any) have a harder time to google for any ah-mee bashing blogs. NOT that I am and will be reviling the system, I just wanna take caution with sensitive issue after all the incidents of bloggers kena charged.
Anyway, wouldn’t you agree much more that the luxury of 2 years can be better utilized? For me, I had alot of things going on before I got enlisted. And to hit the gigantic pause button isn’t an easy task.
Blogger’s Sweets for example, this project could have soared even more than the current 30k views hit. There was so much being planned for it, but ah-mee HAD TO set foot in my life at this point of time.
I wanted to make it as professional looking as possible, and I’ve always wanted to do a recap of the production and write a proud blog entry about the success of it after wrapping it up.
But right now, I don’t even have the time to finish the post production of the upcoming episodes. Sigh. Nevertheless, I made a promise to myself to continue working on it whenever time allows and finish it like how I wanted it to be. Hold on with me.
Then again, maybe it’s just me. Maybe I have one too many things that I wanna do, which caused me to self inflict chaos into my life. With all the things I need/want to do, my civilian free time of less than 48 hours each weekend is more of exhaustion than relaxation.
Some of my camp mates complain that they are so bored at home when they book out. I can’t fathom how they come up with such a remark. To me, booking out is definitely more tiring than in camp. I have travel on cabs to and fro any destination to save travelling time, and I think the last time I took a train was before I enlist.
To date, I have yet to blog about anything I did in camp. Not because I hate it so much, or it’s uninteresting inside. It’s simply because I’ve got only that much time out of ah-mee, and I couldn’t possibly waste it on recounting the things I did, right? Fret not, to those who want to read about how I spent my time as a recruit. I will, sooner or later, do a recount of my recruit days. Ironically, I just can’t wait for it to be over.
Apologies for the naggy entry, but sometimes I just wish I can continue to rant and rave at how we LAN LAN have to serve the nation. Yeah, that’s one god damn thing I learnt from the ah-mee – There are things in life which you have no choice but to do it, whether you like it or not.
…yeah, booking in at 8pm later means no nonsense about traffic jams, stomachache or the alarm clock never ring.
