Blah, I'm sorry. Things get in the way so much, distractions here and there, that you forget you have a blog to maintain.

I'd like to continue a bit about my NS life:

Basically over time, I came to realise that recruitment jobs like these are never easy. You have lots of people wanting to apply and you have to make sure you don't leave them waiting too long. Apparently some career fair events passed by and I was too obsessed to finish up some difficult applications, that I forgot about keeping up with new applications. Learning from that mistake, I made another mistake; leaving behind the difficult applications pending. And now the system we are using is about to be upgraded. Everything learnt will have to be unlearned and relearned. Currently, I'm rushing to clear up as much rubbish as I left behind, while balancing my attention with the new applications coming in.

However, I have come to like my position. I have the opportunity to visit schools, interact with people, eat lunches that aren't the same cookhouse stuff, and more. It may not appear as a very good position to be in to other people, but I guess it's all about perspective and what you make of every situation in life.

NS, for most guys, feels like 2 years in a cryo-chamber; 2 years of your time in life, frozen. But if you think about it, it can parallel life. There are similarities. It's all about the perspective.

I don't really feel like writing further now. I don't mean to sound insightful or anything with this blog post, nor did I intend on the continuation of NS to sound like this. It's just that I stumbled upon a blog this night and it made me feel... I don't know what, but it obviously changed the tone of this particular post.

I'll see you on Sunday.
