Opposites.

OH screw safari! Driving to work has always been a pain with the Adam rd stretch bottlenecking. A moving jam i would tell my father. Which is entirely contradictory as a jam means all cars are stuck with no hope of moving for every 5 mins. *Think Johore causeway*. Maybe i should change the term to *Snail express*.

Today office topic was on "We should make all girls serve Ns." Comments and suggestions were thrown about by the group's heated panelists which included 3 NSFs/1 Reservist/ 1 Female. Comments such as "They should be given a chance to EXPERIENCE NS." and "Don't stupid excuses like 'Childbirth is our NS!" were fired up. Overall, the disccusion was fairly one-sided with the female panelist smiling and laughing at the crude and chauvinistic suggestions. "But they have their monthly pains!" "Then can modify the BMT what!" Came the swift rebuttal. With that concluded, the topic was left as lunch time beckoned.

Regarding the age-old issue of "should girls serve NS?", and that meaning the complusory 2years and not signing on, i believe the existing system works fine as it is. After all, this issue goes way back to the 1960s since NS was introduced! Then again, whenever there are female sign-ons doing BMT. I am sure they feel like zoo exhibits when they were surrounded young, horny and desperate recruits trying to catch a glimpse of that bosum or legs that slide out of the black PT shorts. But kudos to the group of girls that were around during my BMT. They completed the damn 24klick with the chaps! lol.

The 'SAFO'(Serve And F*** Off) mentality exists in every batch of new 'chao' recruits while there are others that really believe in the SAF 7 core values. But NS really is an experience that nothing else can replace. Why? 'Because it is the SAF' *Sing-a-long tune*

There are only two kinds of people in this world; those who like to watch whales and those who prefer to eat them.
