This is it. The day of days. I've been waiting for this day since i could ever remembered. Enlistment day. The waiting got turned into months from years. It got turned into weeks from months. It got turned into days from months. The wait now has turned into hours. 1130hrs sharp. That is the time that i have to report to Basic Military School 1 at Pulau Tekong. National Service. The time when boys get whipped into men. It used to. Now it's the time when sissy boys get whipped up into tough boys. They never grow old. Never. They still grow though. That's all that matters.

For the next two years, my life will be on the mercy of the government. After that, im thinking of signing on if everything permits it. Yeah. Been getting good luck wishes from everyone. Rahmat just reminded me of how eager i am of it: Soldiering. Now, the rest of the family is sending me SMSes. Yeah. Recruit M Fadzil.

A few more hours and im in. Good luck with your lives people. This might be the last read in a long period. I hope the rest of the reads were good ones. If not, i'll write again when i have time and access to a computer. If not, CURAHEE! And god bless.
