PLKN story

     today is February 3rd. I arrived on the first day of the month. two days I ignored this laptop. I was busy arranging the garments and whatsoever in my gigantic bag and in my cupboard. still I feel like dreaming to be home. by the way I'd like to wish all Chinese worldwide a Happy Chinese New Year.

     I'm very pleased to tell u about my life as a NS trainee. even though it has just been a month but I've picked up a lot of invaluable knowledge. the knowledge that's less taught in school which is more on character building mainly self-confidence. now to make it briefer and clearer as well as less confusing and easier to understand I'll tell u in note form instead.

my identity :

name : Nadzirah binti Abdul Rahman

nickname : Nad

dorm : 5P

company : Charlie

classes : CB3, BK3 and KN3

PLKN : Group 1, Series 8/2011, Kem Latihan Cheneh Cemerlang, Kemaman

these are the epaulettes

this is me wearing them

general :

- we, NS trainees, call each other by using our nicknames.

- the trainers address male trainees as Wira and female trainees as Wirawati.

- there are seven dorms for both Wiras and Wirawatis (1L-7L and 1P-7P).

- there are four major groups called companies (Alpha Company, Bravo Company, Charlie Company and Delta Company).

- there are six classes for Character Building (CB1-CB6). in CB two modules are learned and then we proceeded to the third module named Budaya Kerja or Working Culture (BK1-BK6).

- there are fifteen classes for Kenegaraan or Civilization (KN1-KN15).

- we eat six times a day and I think this is crazy.

- we wake up at 5 in the morning and take a shower with the ice cold water and I think this is super crazy.

personal :

- initially I was selected by the dorm members to hold the post as the Dorm Head but it was then. a Wira/Wirawati is not allowed to hold more than one position at a time.

- then I was elected by the company members to hold the post as the Head of Charlie Company for Wirawati. for your info this is my first time being a leader for such a huge organisation. I must wear epaulettes on both shoulders when wearing class and celoreng garments.

- I was relieved for not being the Dorm Head. the responsibility is too overwhelming but I was wrong. day after day I realized that the responsibility as the Head of Company is fairly more difficult.

- all dorm 5P members are under Charlie Company and the rest comes from 3P and 6P.

     they are my strength. thanks guys for willing to cooperate with your defenseless leader. although some of u are deadly stubborn.
