For me, I feel very depressed most of the time whenever I think of my Ord date. I need to find a way to accept this brutal reality. It has been 3 months plus yet I still feel equally screwed up in many ways. Damn.. I need help!

Close your brain, train your muscle... very soon it will be 2 years.

In my time it was 2 & 1/2 years.
My friend was 2 & 1/2 years + 2 months extra because he failed NAFA.

You guys got a good deal. So smile whenever you think of it.

I know its a lot better as compared to last time but it feels like forever. You shld know what I mean. Its just too brain wrecking.

Now you feel that life in NS damn F up as you just started for few months only. But when you nearing ORD or after ORD, you will feel that actually NS life is not that bad afterall. You will miss those times you spent with your buddies, kena tekan together, play soccer together, sign extra together etc etc. :angel:

just look forward to each meal time, after dinner go for nights out if you can. if can't, go to mess watch tv or slack around or train up some muscles loh.

2 years will breeze through. but after you ORD, you will feel "wah... why so fast over liao. now everyday must study or work, so sian... cannot nuah liao"

anyway after ORD, still got 10 more years to get over with...

hey bro, to some NS life can be a torturing and painful experience. instead of thinking what a dread it is to live thru it day by day, why not make it an experience?..

one good suggestion is that you can take this opportunity to hit your camp's gym or do some extra running, pumping, pullups! as a form of distraction to keep ur mind off things and look forward to the weekends.

if you look at it this way, HEY why not? the government is paying me to keep fit!

i'm sure you will pull through, instead of trying to change the world around you, let the world change because of you

"This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be something good." - uknown

hang in there bro, i'm sure your friends will be there for you :)

Hang onto your humanity and don't lose your personality. If you are a free spirited person, army life can be very hard. But try whatever ways and means to have a connection with your "normal" life. Try to read, or listen to the music that you love. Do your hobbies whenever you can.

Take the opportunity to plan your future life, whether it is further education, or work. I actually managed to take leave from the army and went overseas to check out a few universities, with the understanding of my PC. On the day you collect your pink IC, you can either only be armed with a bit of longer hair, or you can already have a plan that you can start implementing for the rest of your life.

Most importantly, do not do anything stupid. Don't AWOL to settle problems with a girl, or anything like that. Keep your head down and play it straight, 2 years will be over soon enough.

But at the same time, learn to love the army. You will appreciate the camaraderie with your fellow in-mates in the future. There are some valuable life lessons to learn in the army even though it seems just mud and sweat at the moment. The first 3 to 9 months of the army is the hardest, once you settle into the rhythmn of things and become a lao jiao, your depression will lift.

One word..

ENDURE!

:lol:

just eat snake and slack all the way ~

a word of advice : Work smart , not work Hard !
