I offer threadstarter one tip:
If you talk like the way you write in NS, a lot of people will "siam" you.
English no need to be so power. Even if you are power, reserve it for your career when you ORD.
I used to see ns boys, some try to use big words to confuse people in camp. And they really confuse everyone.
But end of the day, they got no friends. Who to blame?

Yalor, even if I in Uni oso use Singlish cos my english is not powerful in the first place. But my chinese is power.

Very true. Learning Hokkien rapidly was one of the first things I did in NS, and it was a life saver.Originally posted by LetterboxMind:I offer threadstarter one tip:

During my days in BMTC, the only time the RJC kid came in handy was when we had to find some to talk to the CSM and muddle his head in the hope that this chap's "white horse" status would get all of us out of CNY confinement.Originally posted by LetterboxMind:I offer threadstarter one tip:

Other than that, he was pretty much kept in the broom closet.
You must know when to use your linguistic skills, and when to just relack jack and kpkb like everyone else. -
Learn smoking will also get you a lot of friends.Originally posted by Gedanken:Very true. Learning Hokkien rapidly was one of the first things I did in NS, and it was a life saver.

As awful as it is to admit, I agree - life got a lot easier for me when I picked up smoking. Now if I can only drop the habit ...Originally posted by NUS_Superst@r:Learn smoking will also get you a lot of friends. -
Well, not so much nasty as crazy. First we had a drought. Three weeks later we had a cold snap that wrecked a lot of vines in the Yarra Valley - this won't be a good years for wine. Then it hit 35 degrees, followed by hail and snow. It's getting warm again today, with 35 expected on Wednesday.Originally posted by LazerLordz:No idea too.Heh..

Of course! After RODing (Yes, I'm that oldOriginally posted by Chelzea:now still hokkien peng meh ), I've still kept in touch with my company - we were mono-intake so it's a preety tight-knit bunch. I still see the guys and so, "Oi, yan dao eh, ho seh boh?". -

Civilian perm staff.Originally posted by NUS_Superst@r:What r u ppl doing in Mel - exercise or permstaff there? -
Yeah, the stupid thing was that the hail was one day before the G20 protests - too early. It was a pain in the arse trying to hold a staff meeting with those idiots chanting on loudhailers downstairs.Originally posted by LazerLordz:I heard of the hail. Things must be getting schizo.
