Went out for a while yesterday afternoon, trying to look for a temp job. Despite the efforts, there wasn’t any vacancies to begin with…ironic. Spent the next couple of minutes loitering around (though I will not be affected by any curfew / I’m way pass the under-16 ruling / and it was still broad daylight), and made my way back.
On the bus, there were these 2 girls behind me.
Being a busybody, I overheard their conversation, though I didn’t take much effort since their voices were not the softest to begin with.
What’s interesting was that they were talking about were 2 interesting issues, Love and Serving National Service.
Love, to them, was about being there for somebody. There’s nothing wrong with that, Hell No. But, it was for the wrong reasons. According to their logic, it is important for the girl to stay faithful, even if the guy was in the wrong.
Wrong, very wrong.
The guy committed offenses. Everything discussed wasn’t that clear, but I did overheard that the guy stole, and escaped serving NS.
Yes. You heard right.
Why is it that people needs to escape from serving National Service. If you are a male, able-bodied, you can at least endure 2 years of training. Your physical well-being, general health would probably improve, make new friends, learn about weapons and experience things that males from other parts of the world would never have (less countries with compulsory NS). Though the trade-off includes having less time / freedom / and risking the relationship you may have, amongst others.
Back to the girls’ conversation. Anyway, they were sharing about who knows more people who have tried to evade doing NS. Guys who has done so were praised for their action (talk about nonsensical), and they were even comparing whether the punishments given were appropriate.
Well. Before I could probe further, I reached my stop. Would have liked to stayed a little longer. Obvious isn’t it.
Before I sign off, should I just mention that the school they go to reads I (blank) E. Make conclusions yourself. And, I am very disappointed with the response for the quiz.
