going going gone

so remember how hard it was to get all my visa and ticket and passport settled before travelling.. yay it's freaking done and i'm flying off tomorrow.. yeah baby! Aussie-tralia here I come :) sadly i'm gonna miss the opportunity to go YOG.. so many chances to go help and stuff yet i'm always always busy.. damn.. o well, in life you make choices and you live by it.. no worries.. experiences can be gained anywhere ;) woo hoo! byebye, see you when i get back.. damn excited..

i just realized something and I've been wanting to blog about it.. why is the army getting softer nowadays?? or are parents getting too irritating to handle? We have to release 'drama' shows on youtube to ease enxiety, we have to conduct roadshows/talks to parents to show them about the army.. why do we have to reassure parents so much? is the system getting too much pampered ppl?

The army/NS is all about growing up, about giving your sons and children the chance to finally experience first hand the true meaning of growing up.. to give them the chance to learn for themselves that daddy and mummy will not always be there.. I was blur before NS, so were my parents, being the only son.. but my mum or dad didn't cling on me.. they trusted the system so why shouldn't the many others? thousands have been through the system so why??? Personally, from my point of view, sure we have to be responsible and accountable to parents for their new blur sons that come into the army, but still I really believe that these sons should also tell their parents that, 'Hey, it's my time, it's my chance to grow and learn already, mummy and daddy i'll be fine'..Don't parents realize that, yoo hoo, we're the army yo, not a childcare centre.. I really don't understand why we're always trying to please parents.. I understand the part where we have to protect them but I don't understand why we're made to respond to their whining and crying over nothing that has even happen to their sons yet.. damn.. ok post done.. yay, said my piece.. time to fly.. woosh!
