		<description><![CDATA[It's 1 Feb 2010, a little over the 1 year mark since I enlisted into the National Service on 28 Jan 09. The past year hadn't been exactly smooth sailing, but it's decently enjoyable in itself. Over time, I developed quite an anti-thesis stance towards the rationale and the fundamental elements of the two-year National [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I stepped into the hall, ready to take my Law Admission Test. With me are 780 other people. Probably, out of these 781 people in total, there are only 2 JJCians. Evan and myself. The bulk of them are Rafflesians, Hwa Chongs, and other elites. I feel as though I'm in a foreign land. I'm [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has been about 2½ months into my army life. I was enlisted on the 28th of January, going through BMT in Tekong. Boy that brings back memories - some good, some bad, some just worth remembering. And it was on that day, 28th January, that I got to know 12 new friends - my [...]]]></description>

As we grow older, our appreciation for it diminishes. Gone were the times when we got all excited and jumpy at the knowledge that February 14 was nearing. [...]]]></description>

I'm actually looking forward to entering though, since I'm pretty tired with my current obligations, a change of pace of life would do some good. Well since my enlistment [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reality bites. I only have 12 more days before I bid farewell to Singapore, and head overseas to Tekong. As if to mock me, my enlistment date falls oh so nicely on the 3rd day of the Lunar New Year. With my 2-3 weeks confinement, I have only the first 2 days of the LNY [...]]]></description>
