People Change...
Im currently on reservist at my beloved Cantonment complex and its been kinda great so far!! cos each time i go on resevist, it wld mean that im in dire need of cash and thats wad the government provides me with!! and i dun need to do so much labour nor use much of the thinking cells..
Ur aking me why?? well, here's my itinery for the first few days of reservist...
0900hrs: report sorang2
0930hrs: makan lunch
1100hrs: read newspaper in library
1140hrs: talk to the NS buddies
1200hrs: boss tell me to arrange stationery in 3 cupboards
1300hrs: lunch @ KTM
1430hrs: drive ppl to PNSD
1600hrs: NS buddy drives me home
1630hrs: Reach home n sleep
And i get 400 bucks ++ for this time spent in an airconditioned office wif my meals reimbursed after my ICT is over and all.. =D This is the reason why the saying goes "good things happen to great people" nyehehe
anyways, the focus of my topic is not that im getting money without doing much work.. its the people ive met during this resevist stint that makes me open my eyes bigger.. Makes me see the society aside from the close-knitted, always-mingling undergrad community.. (a great bunch nonetheless)
Well, i was in the 118th intake of Police National Service Force and i ORD-ed in Nov 2006. Well, a couple of my frens were in the same batch as me, doing the same office job, entered the same division.. but the thing was that they committed AWOL, absent without official leave, and thus were sent to the Detention Barracks, thus extending their ORD date... And they would haf a criminal record for that matter.. These frens are still serving their NS when im already performing my 3rd cycle of resevist..
Well, pendek kater, my frens were mcm setan ar before.. wif gerls keliling pinggang, slalu campak MC, didnt haf good relationship wif their Dads especially, had probs wif their superiors and sudah tentu slalu gadoh.. These dudes couldnt stand having a mundane task and doing a certain job until the end.. maybe just becos they cldnt click wif the boss or other PNSF..
However, this time ard, i met these frens and we just hit it off.. bebual pasal mase lamer.. they are now awaiting their ORD in 2 and 4 months time.. Alhamdulillah... memang both reiterated that it was realie dumb to AWOL agik2 when ur in office job.. cos its freakishly easy to just pass ur NS n go on wif ur real life outside.. and they were the ones whu ajak me to pray jemaah everyday!! and they would lead as imam and would bace doa2 panjang yg i myself am not able to hafal thus far.. (embarassing moment here)
I feel reallie amazed at their U-turn in life, having underwent the harsh periods of life and now being more matured and realizing wad to do wif life..
Budden again, they still do retain certain aspects mcm bual pasal hotel maner paling murah and this gerl and that gerl, etc. So i guess a perfect 'member' would be one whu could juggle both personalities at the specific moments in life i guess??
Kene tahu suit the needs of a particular moment lah kirekan...
Well, wadever it is.. im humbled to meet people like them in my life.. =D
