Time flies. Since dropping out of my polytechnic course, it’s been almost a year and … I’m going to enter NS soon. It’s something I’m totally looking forward to. Not.
When I think of entering NS, I think of all the things I wish I have done and the things I’ve regretted, but now that it’s actually drawing nearer… I’m thinking of my family. How will I cope without my parents by my side? Will they be lonely without me by their sides?
My mum’s always seemed so strong… but that’s because she has us by her side, right? Will she really be ok when I’m away from home? My sister’s gonna have a 3rd child soon (when she can’t even handle her 2 kids now). Whenever we meet up, she’ll push the responsibility of looking after the kids to me while she enjoys her shopping sessions. Will she be ok, looking after her 3 children? Sure, she has her husband and his family with her, but still, I worry. She probably won’t get to go out as much and thinking of her looking after her 3 kids outside… just gives me bouts of endless laughter.
Mum, dad, sis… take care of yourselves alright? You have to be strong when I’m away from training and I’ll definitely be thinking of you.
