Nites out, or I'm out...
Nites out, probably the next best thing to book out that NSFs can look forward to. A short period of time, usually around 3-4 hours, to allow these freedom-deprived individuals (mostly men/teens you decide) to go out and breathe some civie air, without having to march instead of walk, take roundabouts when you can just walk straight or greet every other single person you see. Yup the smell of freedom does smell wonderful dosen't it.
Well initially it does. Having to spend 5, sometimes 6, days in camp, a break inbetween certainly does help to recharge the mind to carry moving on. Though recently i've been strating to wonder myself, what really is the value of a nites out. For people who lives right next to camp, its understandable that its more time with the family. For those who always put "lousy" on the canteen food vendor survey, its a re-awakening to the taste buds to what real food tastes like, normally oily, juicy and in other words fattening. Then here comes the last category that I don't get, people who go for nites out without an agenda. You ask these people who, what, where and how they're going, they dunnoe. In the end, they jus end up aimlessly walking around then coming back.
So I dun get it, if there's a nites out, why must we go out if we dun hv any plans. Like me, given a nites out, unless I am absolutely craving a particular type of food, or have people to meet with, I wun go out. Firstly, going out means spending money, which is pointless unless absolutely necessary, like on gof outings on sat. I'm not saying the pay is bad, for me the amount's ok, jus that I hope to save as much as possible for uni. Secondly, I dun see the point of people going out to eat, when we have food which I tink does not taste half as bad, in camp. The additional carbo onli serves to make u fat!!! (Come to think of it, I wonder how much I weigh now...definitely fatter). And lastly, I am learning to appreciate a little quiet time, sitting on the bed, music playing softly, and enjoying a good read. A rare habit for me now I dare say, though I am finding it harder n harder to find books that suit my taste...need to go library walking again.
But ya, just to summarise in case you, readers, got bored by that long long paragraph, I tink nites out is overated. There's no point in going out when I have nothing on my mind, or just to save cash xD maybe its just cos I dun hate ns as much as other do, or I jus need a girlfriend...ok bad idea.
