National Service Program...5

Its hard to believe I be able to come back my home sweet home after one week of NS.
Thanks to Ching Ming I only be able to come back^^
3 days including yesterday and by Tuesday morning I'll be heading back there :(

Well, for the 1st or 2nd day there, I might have a little problem bout the toilet/bathroom there.
The toilet and the bathroom there is combine in one room, there's barely enough space for you to move a few steps.
Its kinda hard to bath.
Sometimes might even see some dead bodies of beetles there.
But, I understand that, that was the public place.
So, I've gotta get myself used to it no matter what or else I won't have the guts to bath! lolx

WEll, living there makes me realize few things:

1) My home sweet home.
-When I'm home yesterday, I've never felt so happy to be at my very own home enjoying my every little moment here. I do not need to built up any guts to use the toilet or bathroom and even do not need to think there'll be insect in my pillow or bed before I sleep. Or worry bout how dirty my blanket would felt. I felt so comfortable being at my very own place which I DO miss during my time there especially my blanket, bed and most of all, my beloved pillow. haha!

2)My family
-Never knew I would miss them during my time there.
My mom's nagging never leave my ear whenever I did any house chores or bathing there.
"Get your hair dry and clean! If you don't dry your hair you'll get headache!"
"Clean your bed"
"take care"
etc...
I have always had my dad's advice stick inside my head.
I wondering, when I'm not at home will dad keep on taking the clothes here and there, turning it inside out and etc. likes he always did?
Looking at my own clothes under the sun, I could hallucinate my dad moving the clothes around, turning it inside out, rearrange the clothes in order and so on.
Frequently, remember the times me and my bro having fun together.
Hearing my sis scoldings echoing inside my head.
GEez, although I thought I never wanted to hear all this over again...hate to admit I sometimes think of it.

3)How important technology is to me.
-During my time there...I really missed my home's machine.
the washing machine, the television, the iron, the light, the air conditioner, the computer, the radio etc.
Somehow, the process of waiting over there seems dull as if the time is not moving at all!
No music, TV, computer...seems like I've been completely out of reach with the machine world (except the fan and light provided there).
Life without washing machine is hard.
Think washing clothes using washing machine is troublesome?
Think again.
You never will realized how TRoubLesome is to wash the clothes with bare hands.
Brush, twist, turn. It really takes a lot especially when your clothes is thick.
It takes you lotz of time and energy compare to the washing did by washing machine.
Before this, I hate when I was asked to do washing by washing machine and I think its kinda troublesome.
NOW I realize it wasn't anything if compare to washing it bare hands.

4)Simplicity of life/ Natural life.
-Somehow I came to know that living in simplicity is the best. There's not much for you to worry about. All we do there, besides the activity planned, is wash, rest, sleep, sit and the best part is watching stars at night. No city, no car, no smoky air, etc.
All you see is tree, lake and river (part of it polluted already, but its still ok), beautiful stars and moon. You heard sounds of bird, and crickets and breath fresh air. It makes you feel energetic.
Well, except if they ask you to marched under the extremely hot sun during the afternoon till evening. You'll might get sunburn, or it causes you to have sensitive skin etc.

5)BE brave and willing to try something new.
-Over there, I learnt how to take part in something. Its your willingness and braveness to take part and face the crowd. !st of all, have to got the willingness then only you'll be able to gather some guts to talk and having people staring at you smiling. Do not worry they'll make fun of you, because that would decreases your self esteem and finally distinguish your fire of determination.
I did it once at one of the class. Its a character building class. We were asked to talk in front of the class bout anything, just anything.
I felt so good knowing that I was brave enough to challenge myself to be as brave as I could.

actually its kinda fun thr. Juz ignore the unfortunate stories, take gud care of urself, don't care too much bout unecessary things, n be nice to whoever, whatever, whenever you are, also obey the rules (although u might gonna break sum, pls make sure its safe enough for you to break it).

Hope I will keep on learning.
Develop a better self.
Change to an excellent whole new person.
Gained lots of experience.
Know more about something useful and good that I've never knew.
Try things that I wanna/ wish/ could try. *safety 1st still*
Most of all. Please pray for my safety over the whole training.
Please bless me.

Thank you.
