TIME AND TIDE WAIT FOR NO MAN


Hearing my male friends groaning and moaning over their upcoming enlistment,
I can't help but to feel old.

It just bring so (disgustingly) forcefully to mind that a decade has passed,
and that I'll officially be 20 come September.

20!!!

Oh my goodness!!!
I've hit the big 2.
No more 1. That's sad.

Anyway, back to what I was saying earlier, I can't for the life of me imagine what the guys have to complain about.

Being an NSmen, in my humble opinion, is definitely the most terrific occupation in the entire universe (second to footballers, that is.)

I mean, where else can you....
Get paid to exercise...
Free food...
Free lodging...
Free training...
Free fitness instructors... *drool*
Free medical officers...

What more can one ask for?


All in all, the expenses of your daily living are taken care of, and you get proper training tips from qualified and professional training instructors.

Apart from getting all beefed up, muscular, and macho, discipline and perseverence are instilled as well.

To top it off, there's no need to pay for medical visits, since Medical Officers are there 24/7. (poor civilians like us have to dig into our pockets to get approval for MCs, you know? Boo hoo hoo...)

Being botak?
What's there to grumble about?
The advantages offset all the down factors, anyway.

Let's count our fingers...
1) no bad hair days
2) save water
3) save shampoo
4) save hair conditioner
5) save hair gel/styling cream/hair clay (blah blah blah...)
6) no. 2) + no. 3) + no. 4) + no. 5) = save $$$
7) no worries in rainy days (hair no wet, you know?)
8) feels cooling (which is a seriously great advantage, considering the sweltering Singapore weather)
9) no use for combs (save money again)
10) no head lices
11) better camouflage for dandruff (scalp too bright and oily, and thus cannot execute dandruff-spotting as effectively)
12) some women might (note the emphasis, please) have a fetish for botaks

Hah!
