Found this on a blog.. Just wanna share..

This is the list on the official NS website (www.khidmatnegara.gov.my) , compiled for your easy reference (Thank you, thank you very much..)

• Pakaian untuk kegunaan sendiri selepas kelas, waktu malam dan hujung minggu selama sebulan di kem dan dua bulan di IPT. Ini termasuklah pakaian dalam, pakaian mandi, pakaian tidur, kelengkapan untuk bersolat (Muslim) dan sebagainya.
• Keperluan kelengkapan kemasan diri seperti sabun mandi, berus gigi, ubat gigi, sikat rambut dan sebagainya.
• Keperluan mencuci pakaian sendiri seperti sabun/serbuk pencuci, berus, penyangkut baju dan sebagainya.
  Sijil KelahiranKad Pengenalan, Sijil-sijil yang berkaitan
  
  This is all good and right and true, but here is a list of other things they DON’T tell you to bring. Trust us on this, okay:-
  
  
• Slippers (These are so easily forgotten, but so intensely regretted later).

• Sarong (This is for the girls, guys don’t really have a problem. Learn how to wear it if you don’t already know! Otherwise, get ready for a bonding session with your campmates when they teach to how ).

• Extra bathing pants for guys… as they somehow go missing the next day. Make that extra ugly, cheap bathing pants. Oh, by the way. Make sure they’re DARK colored, so there aren’t any see-thru moments.
  Bring some nice clothes. Don’t make the mistake of thinking NS is all sweat and macho stuff, there will be *social gatherings*.

• Unless JLKN says otherwise, DO BRING YOUR HANDPHONE! It’s your only form of communication with the outside world and here’s always a long line at the public phone booth.
  

• Somehow, suntan lotion doesn’t really work (not even SPF 50) but if you REALLY want to, go ahead.
  

• Aloe vera to soothe a burnt nose.

• A thick book, in case you feel like entertaining yourself with some old-fashioned reading or just to ‘look smart’

• A small decent padlock is very very handy, especially the types that don't use keys, instead number combination. Handy to lock your suitcase during the day (it's a great deterrent to any would be thieves) and any cupboard doors they might provide you with.
  

• Insect repellent, good for all the midnight hikes.

• Food that can last long and doesn’t melt, crumble or spill. Sweets are good, but as a backup measure if you start craving for sugar.

• Your bank book, even though you’re in National Service, money will seem to disappear (if they do let you go to a supermarket, a lot will be spent on groceries)

• Deodorant (This is very important… get the spray type. It will prove to be your saviour if your camps water supply cuts and you are left for 3 days without any means of taking a proper bath)

• Torchlight! Do! You will find this especially good when hiking all night because only the person at the front and end of the line will be given a torchlight. So, if you are in the middle, you will be tripping over bushes and roots a lot unless you have your own. Good for bathing in the middle of the night during blackouts too.
  

Oh but do remember that whatever you pack is your own load… don’t expect people to lug your stuff around for you. Best thing is to practise at home in advance to see if you can lift your things for more than 100 metres without collapsing.

A big Thank You to the Duke of York who sent us in this majorly complete list of things to bring. Talk about covering all the bases, check this out before you begin stuffing your bags!

TO BRING OR NOT TO BRING…

There are many things you wanna bring, but unfortunately you can’t lift the bag or even drag it. Luckily the National Service Department did not impose a weight or size limit, otherwise all you can bring are your toiletries. However , there is a 1 bag limit in your letters. Ignore it. I suggest you carry 1 backpack and 1 luggage bag. Here is a list you can follow.

Swiss Army Knife or something equivalent. Ensure your main blade is not more than 2 inches long or not they will declare it a weapon and confiscate. Also don’t be a show off.
If you don’t have one, it’s alright.

Small umbrella. Better to bring than having to run all the way to your camp, wet.

Nice clothes. You will need it in case you do get out. Might come in handy if you don’t have the “classroom” uniform.

Slippers and shoes. Bring old ones. New pair of sneakers might just be gone in a few days. Old ones can be thrown after the camp.

Bathing / shower foam, shampoo and soap. I suggest one big “1 liter of Dettol foam” will last you 3 months. Bring shampoo unless you get bald at camp. Soap, best in powder form, is needed to wash your own clothes (not uniform) unless you are willing to pay a hefty sum for laundry.

Hangers and clothes pegs. A must to dry your clothes. Bring a few that is uniform in colour and shape. Bring those that are thin wire rods for hooking on funny places.

Pail. Very optional. I didn’t bring one. I used the dippers supplied. Small but ok. Heavy to bring. Buy it there if you want. (Note from us: If you plan on using the dippers and buckets they provide, be prepared to wake up very early and/or steal them from other ‘considerate’ people who figured the buckets needed adopting and made them theirs.)

Cash, bank book and ATM card. A must if you spend big. Bring RM 100 in notes of RM 10. hard to get change there. No credit card. Hassle if you lose it. Keep it safe. Place it in your backpack. Bundle it somewhere in the middle not in some small compartment around it.

Stationery. Do bring at least a pen. You’ll need it for projects. A sharp-tip black marker is useful to mark your name on the new uniforms

Food and water. Up to you. Any food that can last in extreme temperatures. Better to put it in your backpack on the bus. This goes for water too. One 1.5 liter and a 500 ml is enough. Reuse the bottle.

Parents or guardian ID number. Important when filling up forms like insurance and etc.

Thin towel. Use it before your NS towel comes in. A thick one takes up space. Bring one that you might throw after NS to make room for some space.

Sun block or lotion. For those who have sensitive skin, sun block. Prevention is better than cure??

Medicine. Take note. They have a medic there, but for the first 2 weeks or so, not much medicine can be found. Bring Vitamin C or multivitamin, Po Chai Yin = anti-diarrhea,
Strepsils, Uphamol or Panadol ( a few will do ). Others they should have. Worse case scenario? Hospital……

Socks. Don’t trust the NS socks. The white 1 is tooo thin and the grey 1 for boots is tooo tight. Use thin ones for wet sports as it will dry faster although stink faster too.

Tissue. For toilet or anything else. Bring 1 roll minimum of those toilet type. Remove the centre brown roll so it does not take up so much space.

Book or comic. Your best friend for 3 months. The book / comic will make you forget about NS for a while and take you to uncharted or fictional territories. An adequate size one will do. Not Harry Potter and the Golden Phoenix. Don’t bring those you treasure so much. People will borrow or nature will ruin it.

Photostatted IC. Your own one of course. In case of emergency. If you are applying for any colleges, make sure you deal with the registration or else headache for your parents.

Sewing kit. Before bringing this, learn how to sew at least a button. A needle and a little thread will do. Put it in a small container for easy storage.

Hand phone charger. Unless you use a Nokia, you don’t have to worry. (Note from us: EVERYBODY uses Nokia, no problem in borrowing a couple of hours to charge)

FM radio. If your hand phone got it, forget it. This is just to keep you entertained. Not necessary if you gonna get a girlfriend there.

Top-up card. Bring 1 along. Optional.

Clothes. Don’t bring expensive ones and original jerseys. Bring a Bermuda or shorts for sleeping or hanging out. Make sure you mark all clothes with your initials and keep track of it. If you send it to the laundry, 90 % chance they will write with marker the codes on your clothes no matter what color, type or what you say. Be careful.

Small plastic bags. To wrap your handphones with when you enter the jungle for Wirajaya.



and yay ~ screw me xD LOL! HAHAHAHAHAHAH! damm =.=
