HOW TO JUGGLE NS AND TAS

Hello everyone, it'll be my first time blogging here and I hope you'll just bear with what will probably be mostly pictureless posts from me (being a technophobe and all). Anyway, for you guys entering, or have already entered, NS, here are some tips that might help you as it did me.

1. Make sure your Commanding Officer likes you. He'll be more inclined to give you time-off or approve your leave that way. Doesn't matter if he's totally ****-up.

2. Make sure your colleages like you too. They'll be more inclined to cover or stand in for you if a need arises. And let them know early if you have a show coming up, especially if you need their help to cover your duties.

3. Save on taxi fare. And remember to ask for receipts. (Painfull experience here....) Oh, and save the Dial-A-Cab number in your handphone.

4.Do not land yourself with extra guard duties.

5. Keep in constant contact with Cindy =) ( I think I nearly drove her insane. Sorry Cinch!)

6.Earn as many off days as possible. Quite useful if you can take time-off on days after the shows too (so you can hang out and have dinner till late at night with those few who can only go home after a certain hour:P)

7. Quite useful to tell your SL or Jeremy where your camp is, allowing them to gauge how much time you need to get to a particular location. Like Takashimaya or DowntownEast.

8. If you can help it, get a vocation that doesn't need you to stay-in. If you can't help it, break your leg to confirm yourself a vocation in which you don't need to stay in ( Disclaimer: A JOKE!)

9. Get a driving licence and a car. If you can't, befriend a member of your unit who has a driving licence and a car.

10. And finally, the most important tip in trying to juggle TaS and Ns...... get enough sleep. Oh yes. You can't juggle anything if you're snoring away. It's quite impossible. Sleeping during work gets you extra guard duties. Sleeping during practices gets you no where and sleeping during shows gets you an extremely embarrassing moment in your life.


So there it is. Most guys should find this useful. Most girls should find this amusing. If you aren't like most guys or girls, you'll find this lame.

Btw, I'm typing this just two hours after finishing my 24 hour guard duty. I should never have drunk RedBull cuz now I can't get to sleep.

See you guys this Sat!!
