(you needn't know that i did almost no exercise from august to december :x)
how's everyone in the new year? i'm feeling the stress now at work. i don't know when my mind can finally chill and not think too much. haha. (have been thinking too much since secondary school days)
i'm looking forward to overseas leave during cny because i have not seen my relatives for more than a year, thanks to the unbreakable bond.
anyway, today is a special day...
which means i have exactly TEN months left to ord. not very encouraging to those who have just begun, but oh well, you'll get there one day.
i talked with a parent of an enlistee, and she suggested i defer the last 2-3 months of NS to furthur my studies. a tempting thought, but i'm not ready to defer. (i don't know if this is possible, but i'm assuming she knows her stuff)
firstly, all of my non-med peers aren't deferring either. not peer pressure, but it would be better if i could study with same-age people, and better still, people whom i already know.
secondly, the 9 months of freedom starting from 111108 is irresistable. i want to slack, to work, to play, to transform myself. i got so many things i'd like to do, i think the lag time between NS and uni is perfect for that.
of course the cons of not deferring is that you end up emerging in the skilled workforce later. let's calculate this:
if i don't defer, i'll enter varsity in '09, graduate in 4 years (2013).
if i defer, varsity in '08, graduate in '12, serve the remaining term till early '13.
aiya, heck the few months.
