Of the White Nazi
For some reasons,things are popping up around me nowadays to remind me of the "Retardedness" of National Service.You know those things in life,which you never really took heed of?Then one day it just dawns on you,and suddenly that thing is so bloody important in your life.Like,you wouldnt even bother to remember the number for the ambulance.But when that unlucky day comes,suddenly it becomes so bloody important.Like the above scenario,anything to do with NS never really dawned on me as anything important.Then the days passed,and the months went by.The letter came and the days start to tick away as the enlistment date draws near.Every little thing concerning NS start to take a space in your life.As if they are cutting your queue while you are queuing up for movie tickets.They just push and shove around,and try to find a space in your life.Make themselves seem significant.

There i was surfing through the channels when a chinese talkshow was on.They were talking about how girls would run away from their boyfriends,when the guys shave their heads and get ready to hold some machine guys and rifles in the army.Usually,i would just watch it for the kick of it.Its a bloody funny show anyway,and i dont see why i shouldnt watch it.But when i watched that,it just struck me as something important.Well,i cannot relate to the guys in the show anyway.The ones whose girlfriends ran away from them while they were in camp.One of them had his girlfriend running away with his best buddy,and got married.Ouch.Haha.That's a pain in the ass.Anyway,i cannot relate because i dont have a bloody girlfriend.But like i give a rats ass about it.Its no big deal.Like Dudley said in his profile,"Single and Unavaliable".Way to go man.Way to go.

Its a different feeling to be rejected in camp and to be rejection under normal circumstances.Of course,when we are talking about "Breaking Up" its never under normal circumstances.But you get what i mean.NS is a detachment from the normal,the usual life.So whatever happens outside of camp IS reality,the normal life.In other words,the normal circumstance.Anyway,it just reminded me of a scene from "Schindler's List".Sorry for all the references from this movie by the way.There's a scene where the German soldier pulls the men and the women apart,and forced them to get in line.Those who ran away were shot in the back,or dragged back to the line and shot.Dont you see a trend here?The government is like the German soldier,separating the guys from the girls.I mean,its like a break up being forced to happen.Sounds kinda romantic huh?Like Romeo and Juliet.But no,its not that nice in reality.They shave your head,make you crawl through mud,then say goodbye to your girlfriends.This,is evil.They are the evil-doers.

I guess those guys whose girlfriends ran away,wouldnt have broken up with them if NS did not come into their lives.I mean,they could live happily ever after without the intrusion of the bloody Nazi rat.Then he comes along and breaks couples up.You can see it as a test somehow.Devotion of both parties(Usually the ladies).But i guess,with that long a time apart its hard to keep "Devotion" and "Faith" in mind.Sometimes,we cannot always blame the ladies.We should blame those white shirt government people.Or the so called PAP rats.How many countries in the world are still having compulsory national service?I mean,its as stupid as America using the electorial voting system.Its just,bullshit.Who is going to fight Singapore?Remember how Singapore came under Japanese occupation after a mere week or so?Yeah.So i dont see the significance of an army.Lets say Malaysia's pissed off with Singapore and decides to bomb it.Do you think we can do anything about it?A bomb at the water pipes,the natural gas pipe and Singapore will be gone in a few days.

Anyway,its sad to see couples breaking up because of external forces.Not every couple is as lucky as WanJun and her boyfriend.Having a lot less hair and a lot less time didnt decrease the liking between one another for that couple.Those Nazi Rats should be shot and killed.Also,when you are in the army and your girlfriend runs away,its just a totally different thing altogether.There,you dont really have people to talk to.Yeah,bunkmates you say.But people talks.And people laughs.You cannot call her,and you cannot meet her.So there you are like,like an ant in a frying pan desperate to get out.But you cant.Why do you think there are so many suicides in camps.I bet there are in NS,its just that nobody acknowledges that fact.Breaking up in camp is just a totally different story.Its a depression in an abyss.Its deeper than deep,colder than cold.

Im just glad i dont have someone to worry about when i go into NS.Im not going to worry about my girlfriend running away while i am crawling through mud and bushes.My girlfriend is currently my guitars,and unless they are stolen they are here to stay.Its a burden like i said,to have a girlfriend(Or boyfriend for the ladies).I guess,pros and cons.Goods and Bads.Pretty and Ugly.It all adds up.Damn.Why cant i be an Indonesian like Krishna?I'd like to go on a diet,so i can fit into his pocket while he goes to Germany.Bloody bastard!Haha.
