Before i received that NS letter beckoning me to go for their compulsory torture (figuratively) starting 6 May, i had already knew about my this enlistment date (through the NS web portal).

But somehow the arrival of this letter itself still made me feel sian on the spot.








Girls are lucky. They don't have to go through this shit; we waste 2 years getting treated like dogs plus all the cumulative periods of reservice training till we reach late middle-age; we waste an extra year if our ORD is past the university enrolment period (if i am not wrong); we as Singaporean guys who get wasted by NS lose our "comparative advantage" because we lost these precious amount of time and there is also the job disruption from reservice, and employers won't be happy about it.

But of course, i am not a girl, i won't be able to fully grasp what kind of "shit" girls go through that will compromise their welfare or financial security.












But ok loh NS is for defending our country and our family (and friends) mah, so responsibility loh. We are Singaporeans so bo bian.

For now, i doubt a war in our soil will be imminent seriously, even with Malaysia, since we have our almighty government to count on for diplomacy. Besides, a war isn't going to be cheap and for pragmatic governments or political parties, they will put in an even extra more effort to avoid it.

(And don't label me as being "complacent" please.)

But when the time comes, and if i can make a choice or am forced to, i am defending *only* family, friends and Singaporeans.

Currently hooked on classical Touhou music arranges from TAMusic. Seriously, they are awesome.

Touhou Fan.


Listens mostly to Touhou doujin music

(Because the creator of Touhou (ZUN) is damn talented, his BGM for the game series are godly, including the game series he made itself, and hence many dedicated groups of musicians do arranges of his original BGM)

("Arranges" are one level higher than "covers")


Very Japanese-oriented, absolutely not Korean-crazy like the crowd out there

Watches Japanese anime



Wants to do, learn and try many, many things, but finds it hard to find the time, commitment, and energy to do all of that


Life is short, and i want mine to be especially so
