I wrote another post for the blog ‘Male By Birth, Man By Choice’. It has to do with National Service and how it played a part in the creation of the blog.
Why is it that in National Service, the ones who ‘eat snake’ (a Singaporean phrase for slacking) seems to be the ones who strut around camp with the biggest balls but the ones who do their best are made to feel dirty by their peers? Why is it that generally people ‘admire’ those who can get away with stuff in National Service instead of aspiring to be like those ‘on’ guys? There must be something wrong with this situation.
More importantly, there must be something wrong when guys do not have the courage to live by the principles and ideals they profess to value.
