the art of the national service modules lies in the needs of teamwork. klu korang rajin, korang analyze la modul2 die, everything needs working together.. ape yg penting? KERJASAMA!! hehe.... so, x yah la nk blagak pandai sorang2, klu sorang pandai, yang lain stok2 aku je, mmg x jalan la keje... so, it taught me to interact with others, open my mouth and speak my mind. the best thing was, no idea was stupid, sume leh pkai, n sumenye diambil kire utk menyelesaikan tugas n aktiviti. my mind was still at home but i still managed to enjoy myself. it was fun.. thing that i've never explored, never been exposed 2... =D
another no no in the NSP was racism. nope. everyone were like siblings... colours didn't matter. lagipun, cam ne nak amek kire kaler, sume da berjemur tgh panas.. so sume jadi same kaler... haha... and becoz i was brought up in a society that never considered colours, i was fine. it was just like being in a nice peaceful kampung with evryone respecting one another... if only all malaysians were like this. sigh... hopefully, one day, just hoping...
the language was also new to me. steph was the first person who taught me my first words... "ngegeh" stands for mengada2... haha... yup. that was my 1st word. then came the extra vocabs, grammer, etc.. and lastly, i just had to polish up my fluency.. hehe.... ;p
it was during the NSP that i got news that my former schoolmate had passed away. it was sad. also weird at first. i was quite close to her... not the greatest buddies, but we got along good. so, it did touch me...
some memories that are still fresh in my mind:
- we had to climb up this really steep hill to get our network signals.. so on weekends, almost the whole camp would walk up the hill to make their calls.. tuhan je yg tau betape semputnye kami bile smpi atas tu.. da x larat da nk ckp.. haha...
- our camp song... well, actually it wasn't ours. SURIA's. the other company... but as time passed by, the whole camp was humming to it..
- the water activities...
- how reluctant we were when we had to be trained for BTN instead of having our normal camp like activities.
- semangat perpaduan kem yg sgt tinggi bile terpakse disatukan dgn kem lain... wow! that was wild.
- the moment aku jatuh longkang sbb terlalu kusyuk main sms sambil makan honeystar.. haha... abes abg2 askar tu gelakkan aku.. sabar je la...
- kawat! ergghh...
- jurulatih2 kami.. =D
- and of kos, the friends i met there... some are still within reach... still kontek.. tp ade yg da terputus khabar.... really hope to get updates of them.. if not in person, the community network would do.. frenster, facebook, myspace, hi5... name it!
well, in the end, things did turn out fine, memorable and definitely great. i became more mature in my thinking, knowing that people my age has gone through so much hardship. thankful that i am who i am. and the best part was, i began talking. not just to my frens, to everyone..
AT LAST I FOUND MY VOICE. im proud.
