It's only a mere 3 more weeks before my conscription into the armed forces. Rather than encompassing a sense of anxiety and worry, I feel rather nonchalant about my impending enlistment into the dreaded island of "Tekong".

Yes, as the days draw closer, I feel like there's so many things I want to do, but have not yet done. I want to travel overseas once again for a nice long vacation, yet I am only left with 3 weeks.

I feel envious about guys having to serve 2 years of National Service, whilst males in other countries do not have to. However, National Service is where "boys become men". I wonder if this myth can be disputed, but I wonder what effect it would have on my life.

After these 2 years, what character will I be moulded into? Will my life be totally different and changed...
