Reading in Malaysian National Service: My Brief Encounter With Tuan Komanden
I HAVE to write this down. My brain is still running high on virtual dope right now, hours after i left the place where they sell the dope. Can't help it. I'm ecstatic! I got 18 books for a mere RM60 from the Times Clearance Sale at Hartamas Shopping Centre! Wo0t!I kept to the "3 for RM10" area the whole...

Malaysian National Service: How My Friends Did or Didn't Get Exempted/Deferred
I got tired of updating my NS posts from last year. It's fun to read my own journal and post it up in this blog cuz i get to revisit my past while putting it in proper prose (read Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita a week ago and now i can't help getting depressed over how limited my vocabulary is), but it kinda...

Post-NS quick update
Good lord, i haven't been updating this in ages. Got lazy. That's me. I just can't seem to stick with one project for long. Initially i'll get all pumped up at the idea of doing something but sooner or later, usually the former, me and whatever i'm working on, we'll just somehow, grow apart and lose touch...

NS holiday 17th - 20th July
I kept a diary during NS, and i wrote in it every single day. So rest assured, i'll be posting them bit by bit when i finished my services in Kg. Baru Camp in September. This 4-day holiday isn't much when you consider it took our bus 5 hours to get us back from Manjung, Perak to Klang, Selangor on the 17th,...

Day 13.4: An Atheist's Conversation With My Muslim Teacher
2223During kelas rohani/kelas kerohanian today, i went to the "pondok" beside JLB instead of getting cooped up inside the air-conditioned JLB with a bunch of teachers.

Day 13.3: Sukan Kreativiti - Wonder Pets Wonder Pets!

We're supposed to track our own company's flag down but as far as i know, nobody actually made an effort to find it.Today, Tuan Komanden warned us that if we still haven't get our respective flags back by 12.00 am...

Day 13.2: Punk'd!
1319NS is fun i tell you. It's a blast, provided you don't err big when it comes to following instructions. Knowing what buttons not to push, and what rules can be bent is crucial to be able to thrive within the strict reign of the authorities.Just before our CB class ends at 12.30pm today, Cikgu Yus called...

Day 12.3: Watched Kem Kampung Baru, Air Tawar Kumpulan 1 Siri 3/2006 video
2324The teachers played us a video, sort of like a montage of shaky handheld camera recordings of the 2006's Kumpulan 1 Siri 3 undergoing the various NS activities complete with cheesy background music and the oh-so-familiar Windows Movie Maker transition effects. Started from their 1st day of lapor diri,...

Day 12.2: Kawad is fun! Plus some non-nudity first time experience
2005Nope. Didn't get to play. No water fights for me.Instead, our schedule was for us to kawad in the afternoon. Kinda like kawad-ing though. Our kawad teacher was da best! He was a tad too nice: rarely yelled at us unlike the other company's teacher, and was the earliest to let us rest. Then when we...

Day 11.4: Didn't get to play. Boohoohoo
1904Goddamn M*F*ers, C*S*ers, whatever -ers. Those running the f*ing NS program under their f*ing system splitted our company into 2, putting half of us in this other company and half into that other company. Me with the Alphas had to suffer through Cikgu Roslan's excruciatingly mundane lecture on basic...

Day 11.3: Of Womanizer Teacher and Maggi!
1312During CB class earlier this morning, i had a chat with Cikgu Chip. From our brief conversation, i found out that he got his degree from Unisel, and is a self-proclaimed womanizer.

Dude, this is the 1st time i have been out of the camp since my 1st day here. You cannot imagine how exhilarating this felt to me. I did not even realize how i have been suffocating in...

Day 11.1: Our ruined reputation. No idea what caused that though
0609Our company leader was pissed off, correction, is still pissed off over the fact that we, the company's female group's reputation is now totally rotten in and out. None of us was pleased of course. Seriously, we didn't do anything that would tarnish our group's reputation really. Except for maybe this...

0749...Malay girls cried during the session. Indian girls too. Our Tuan Komanden gave a moving speech, then played a Teman Sejati song and projecting the lyrics on the screen in front, let us sing along with the music. Only the Chinese girls were having fun, made a circle holding hands, clapped, sang,...
