I checked up on my PLKN status for the sheer of it since everyone is doing it and thought "Oh, hell, seriously, out of thousands of candidates, surely with a stroke of pure luck I wouldn't be chosen."
The next thing I knew, the word 'Tahniah' is practically blinking and getting bigger on the screen. My first thought was "No! No! This couldn't be true! I couldn't be going through another of a hell-like experience in the middle of nowhere doing God-knows-what things."
I cranked up the volume of T-ara's 'Don't Leave' and listen to it again and again as I wallow in my sadness and shock of being forced to go through such ordeal soon. Though many people said that PLKN is so great blah-di-blah-di, it doesn't sound GREAT to me but I conclude that's because I have a natural aversion for hard physical activities.
Anyway, I was terrified and excited at the same time. Next to my worry of being drenched in dirty water and having to go to the toilet in the dead of night, I worry about making new friends since it has been such a long time since I had made any new friends.
But thinking back about how everybody only get one chance at life, and that I can't turn back the time to experience my youth AGAIN, I might as well face it head-on. I am quite adventurous and if I can swallow a whole duck or even chuck a few grasshoppers (which I want to do in the FUTURE and that is if I haven't changed my mind), why can't I do this little thing?
I know, it seems big in the beginning but I truly believe that God wouldn't send you there without a reason. So to my friends who cried in class today, who feel like your live have practically ended with that one 'Tahniah' word, WAKE UP, GET UP and BE STRONG.
This is not the end, babe and you'll only going to do this for 3 months. Before you know it, those three months would feel like 3 days and you'll probably end up missing those irretrievable days. :)
