Inspiration from movies

Well, today is friday which are hols for us UUMers.
I got a full freedom today as my roomie went to Hatyai.
While I having my lunch, I watched Ah Boys be Men
The story is about how a teenager faced when he is going to have his National Service in Singapore.
While the teenager is being protected well by parents
For sure, the teenager went in reluctantly.
Then there a series of funny things happen on the camp.
I am so wondering what will it be if the guy is me.
As I feel the person is so like me in term of personality and I never serve NS
Malaysia NS is not compulsory yet the time taken is much shorter compare to Singapore.
Malaysia will only takes about 3 months while Singapore need to serve for 2 years.
The facilities, training, quality also have a huge gap I believe.
I am so wondering will I able to go through this 2 years.
The movie makes me so curious about my army life if Malaysia have such NS service.
But I believe I will whine like a cats before the day I went in to the camp.
Back to reality, I would prefer everyone mandatory for NS
As it is a great yet different experience for the boys.
But not what Malaysia did now but like Korea, Taiwan or Singapore.
I think it will helps the boys to develop in term of discipline, responsibilities and etc.
It is another type of learning which hardly got in from formal education.
Besides Ah Boys to Men, another drama Reality Check inspired me as well.
A part of drama is filming how a teenagers live in rural area without any electronic device
Besides this, the teenagers have to follow what the villagers did everyday for 14 days.
The villages got no modern electronic devices.
They just have a simple life yet happiness always around them which is a huge contra with us
We have a lot modern electronic devices but happiness not always with us.
The parts that I have resonance is if I am the teenagers am i capable to survive in this 14 days?
Well, I got no 100% confidence I can make it but I will like to have a try on it if there are a chance.
Same as above, it helps a person to develop in a quicker way.
I did self-reflection after this 2 drama and movie.
It makes me feel more desperately to go GCDP for self development in a surrounding which I not familiar.
