Introduction

This following passage is a truth. I has no mean to insult anyone or be sarcastic in any way. This is purely a true story of a part of my life.

So, here what I'm telling is for the next participants' benefits and information to prepare for what's going to happen and what you will be facing in this camp.

It's all started with a bus ride from your individual station to the particular camp you are assigned to. Followed by the registration are getting your bed number, bed sheet, blanket and pillow case. I bet the first thing you'll do right after unpacking your belongings is sit on the bed and 'SIGH'.

The first few days, you'll have nothing to do. It's part of the program to get yourselves comfortable with the environment of the camp while waiting for the rest of the participants to report in. You'll be also making new friends to start your new life in the camp.

"The National Service Training Program is a character-building camp," the government said,"to build the country asset and nurture patriotism in the coming age of youth and nations." What the hell? Does it? Um...well...I don't realise.

I must say this 3 months-long program is totally waste of time and useless. Imagine a jail compound with jungles surrounding you and have no connection with the outside world. Take note that your hand phones will be held up for the weekdays.

In a nutshell, the program produces uniformed robots with a straight mind. Think about it. Do we have to march on the road after completing the camp? Do we have to practice jungle lifestyle in the future modern world? Sorry? I don't hear you clearly. Discipline? Kiss my @+$! (sorry) Okay, however, trying hard to look at the bright side, it still worth an experience from the activities like kayaking, camping in the jungle, shooting an M16 rifle and flying fox.
