The rite of passage finally downed on me in 2008 - National Service. It was a moment of anxiety, having to meet and work with total strangers of different backgrounds. Fast forward to 2012, NS was one of the best learning points in my life, as I learn to negotiate with diversity. And I'm glad that I did my part to serve my own community. Majulah Singapura!
