And now they have so many ways to keep in touch in real time! When my husband and I were in different countries when I did my MA, we wrote to each other twice a week - and it took about 5 days for each letter to reach. So the letters would always cross. We spoke on the phone once a week, but it was quite expensive and on my end, the phone was in the pantry and above the washing machine! Not the most conducive place to have private chats. No mobile phones in those days (1989).

Now they can FaceTime 24/7 if they want! Lol. Think this generation have it so good.

My DS no GF to cry over him.

DS enlistment is not as big as those at tekong. Think his whole company only 115 fellas. Only 2 persons per recruit were invited for their enlistment. Most parents are rather cool. DH was one of those parents who were so excited over the display of the gears and equipment that the boys will be using.

No liang cha for DS either. He believes in good ole water and at most manuka honey. He does not drink bubble tea but will go for a glass of coke sometimes.

DH’s ex-colleague who volunteers in registering the recruits mentioned about about 200 recruits each hour from 8am till 1pm & the exercise runs for 3 days! So, think at least 1K a day.

DS loves the Yeo’s tetrapak chrysanthemum tea with zero sugar. Not many brands have true zero sugar. It was introduced to him by my mum who has diabetes, and now he’s a fan. We have it ready stocked in our fridge; good for the hot weather nowadays.

No need to buy Yeo's chrysanthemum tea, it is so easy to cook. I always buy dry chrysanthemum from TCM herb shops and brew them with boiling water in a cup with lid for 15 min, then let it cool down and store it in refrigerator for DS to drink.

Can burn off extra calories from these sugary drinks, no worries. But beware, I see my cousins put on substantial weight after they ORD!

Lol. If they pick up only coke from BMT, I think you are very lucky. Last time, NS was the place to pick up alcohol, smoking, and other... undesirables. Not sure what it is now, but I know peer pressure is immense as NS is about learning how to conform as a group.
