National Service Part 1

I remembered the day where i came back from work when i was about 17, months after my first job working in a gift shop..i came back to a horrific yet predictable news actually, it was a envelope on the table.

Inside it contains a nightmare i somewhat knew i have to go through, I have been officially selected to join National Service.. moment of silence please everyone..

I passed out for an hour before waking up and passing out again..

I was kinda prepared for this day but then again i mean seriously want to join such crap especially when making money is more important right. Anyway, i shaved my head a month before joining it cause either way I'm screwed so might as well get into the spirit of it in advance.. I even have to quit my job just so that the government doesn't have to send their ass kissing people over to capture me.

Official day arrived and i sat in the bus while watching myself being taking far far away from my parents, after a while first thing i noticed is that there's a bloody cemetery next to the camp..why in God's name will they locate the camp next to a curse place? It's was in Alor Gajah by the way.. Getting down from the bus and the first thought come to me was..I want to go home now!

It was hot and dusty, kinda like from the desert of Mexico..everyone of us looks like some lost cowboy while the commanders looks like freaking cactus because if you touch them, they'll kill you. Nothing about that place impresses me except the large lake in the camp that's closer to the boy's dorm than girl's..because they're closer to the canteen so we get the lake right? wrong..apparently the lake is dirty and can cause rashes on skin if we swim in it..the curse from the cemetery has already begun apparently.

And just when i thought things couldn't get any worse, it did..the canteen that i've mentioned earlier that was closer to the girl's dorm..which makes no sense because girl eats less than guys, and yet we're the one here that needs to walk further for food, jeez. Anyway, that was just a minor, the major problem was that the place is so dirty that if you leave your food on the table longer than 1 minute, millions and millions of flies will be on it like literally covered completely and i ain't lying.

After a long exposing tiring sun burning dust swiping day, it was time for shower and sleep and boy oh boy did it felt good..and this is just day 1 basis..i barely even scratching the surface..stay tuned for part 2 soon..
