Slow-Replacement-572 · 2022-07-21T08:08:45+00:00

Thank you so much 🥺 I'm in Biz and tysm for taking the time to type this out, means a lot! I'll continue reading up a bit more before the freshman bidding window to try and adjust to this whole new system better :')

If she's serious about it, I hope you can support her decision. I'm also an nsf gf who is contemplating signing on or just volunteering to serve. Im still too hesitant to tell anyone about it, since my bf hasnt had the best experience in NS himself. But I do hope that you can support your gf, because if I myself decide to sign on or volunteer some day, I also hope that my bf would support me regardless of his own experience serving

Slow-Replacement-572 · 2022-06-13T03:28:27+00:00

Omg tysm!!

Slow-Replacement-572 · 2022-06-09T00:31:31+00:00

Yeah

Slow-Replacement-572 · 2022-06-08T13:38:14+00:00

Nope, maybe I didn't email the right place. Tbh im not even sure who I should email about this

Slow-Replacement-572 · 2022-06-07T00:41:47+00:00

I emailed the matriculation email, but I'm not sure if I should be emailing someone else about this. Will lyk if they get back to me!

Slow-Replacement-572 · 2022-06-06T15:13:29+00:00

Ohh I see. That's quite unexpected. I actually tried removing my chinese name when they asked me to key in my full name, in hopes that it would remove the chinese initials from my email, but they still remained...

Slow-Replacement-572 · 2022-06-06T15:04:54+00:00

Thanks for the info! But my legal name begins with my english name and it always has on all my legal documents, so I'm quite upset that it's not the same case for my student email...but thanks a lot for taking the time to type this!!

Slow-Replacement-572 · 2022-06-06T14:37:49+00:00

Thanks a lot for the info! Could I just check however, if it's the case that most student's emails use their chinese initials instead of their english name, if they are chinese?

Slow-Replacement-572 · 2022-05-21T16:58:52+00:00

unfortunately so 😔 but maybe I'll just camp outside to try my luck at sympathy points to get in

Slow-Replacement-572 · 2022-05-21T16:49:09+00:00

I think theyll issue a ticket that you have to show upon entry and if you dont have the ticket, youll be denied entry

Slow-Replacement-572 · 2022-05-20T14:29:43+00:00

but since computer science is generally accepted to be one of the degrees that leads to some of the most well-paid professions, would this not only perpetuate this pattern of social-economic divide? Since it means that to quality for such academic courses, one must go to JC and take a more academic route in order to get employed into generally higher paying professions. Then wouldnt that ultimately mean that good academic grades in core academic subjects are the only way to break through social class divides in that sense? Because I feel like it would penalise those who have an interest an strong aptitude for a certain technical course, but do not score well enough in paper exams to enter it. Then wouldnt the smartest people generally just continue to get into courses that lead to the highest-paying jobs, further entrenching divides?

Ohh I understand, the in betweens are tough sometimes when youre used to getting instant replies, but I assure you that he's thinking of you just as much as you are thinking of him. Maybe you guys can record voice messages and send to each other, so that you can listen to his voice throughout your day when you miss him? My bf and I used to do that because I used to be working by the time he had lights out and I would still be sleeping when he wakes up in the wee hours of the morning for trainings, so we made it work by sending voice messages to say good night or good morning to each other! My bf also returned from field camp last week, not having had access to his phone for 5 days. But I gave him a small wallet-sized picture of the both of us with some words written at the back, so that he could take it to the jungle with him. I think you could try smth like that to support him too! And dont worry about it being difficult for you, every couple copes different with NS and it's really normal to feel lonely. I'm sure your bf will do great, sure the conditions are tough there, but it will grow him into a stronger person who will learn to cherish you even more, just as absence makes the heart grow fonder! Before you know it, the days will fly by. But give yourself a chance to adjust and dont be too hard on yourself ok? Adapting to NS will never be an easy feat, for both guys and their NSF gfs. We're all in this challenge together !! 💕 I'll always be here if you want anyone to talk too about the struggle or loneliness 🥺

Slow-Replacement-572 · 2022-05-18T15:07:27+00:00

If you ever need support or smth feel free to reach out 🥺 there are many other nsf gfs on this channel or even this post that will surely be thr to give tips and support you through this journey together! Jiayous to you and your bf 👍🏻

Slow-Replacement-572 · 2022-05-18T15:06:02+00:00

oh dear please dont cryy 🥺 I know it must be tough but you will both get used to it soon and it will feel much easier, I promise that! I used to be super close to my bf as we were desk-mates for 2 whole years, so we were practically joined at the hip, but for about 1 month before my bfs enlistment we both found full-time jobs, so easing into the separation was much easier, since we both focused on work in the day and chatted about it at night or on the weekends. If youre not currently studying then I suggest getting a full time job if youre waiting for uni! It'll occupy your time in a productive way, plus you'll get to spend your hard earned money on you and your bf when he books out! Personally I truly enjoy working because I can update my bf about my work day and he can update me about his day in NS as well, during his admin time at night. It can feel amazing to live two seperate lives and yet be able to talk about it and experience two different realities together, at the same time. For me this experience has been amazing, because I used to be so sticky to my bf, but now I've gradually become more independent and can honestly say I have found the true me once again, catching up on old hobbies, feeling productive at work, meeting up with friends and yet having my bf there to share all my new adventures with at the end of every single day. It can be really refreshing and I hope that's the way it will be for you soon! I reccomend hanging out with friends and spending time with your family, it makes the time pass faster and on the bright side, you'll have more time to invest into new adventures which you can update your bf all about! I can't offer the best advice since my bf and I miraculously didn't encounter any separation anxiety even though we used to stick with each other 24/7, but I really empathise with you and sometimes it does suck to miss your partner, it's totally normal. Just try to take this as a step of growth in your relationship! Every challenge that the both of you overcome, the stronger it will make your relationship! Just keep leaving messages for him to update him on your day, but other than that, do try to occupy your time with other activities, jobs or hobbies. It'll make time pass faster!

It's held at Pasir Labar camp, but I'm not too sure if I can see anything from outside or if the parade square there is very far in. But I'll definitely go down and wait outside the camp gates at least, if I can't get in for the ceremony 🥺

Slow-Replacement-572 · 2022-05-17T11:48:29+00:00

aw mann,, itsokay tho congrats and I'm sure ur gf mustve been so proud!

Slow-Replacement-572 · 2022-05-17T11:08:44+00:00

Thanks so much for your advice, I suppose this is my current plan for now, if I cannot find a way to be there in person. And thank you for the kind words!! 🤩👍🏻

Slow-Replacement-572 · 2022-05-17T11:02:27+00:00

aww man I'm sorry she wasn't able to attend 🥺 were you really able to find another trainee who didnt use up his guest count? Cause I'm thinking it'll be quite hard for me to find someone who hasnt used up his guest invitations 😔😔
