messed up right now
1 SIR!!!!!!!!! OH MY GODDDDD I'M NOW AN INFANTRY CLERK!!!!! bye sembawang....i've had good times, but it has to end now... have to adjust to mandai hill already... from gear and sword to a COBRA now....6 DIV INFANTRY la.....wa lao..........
went to esplanade library to watch a mini concert by french horns. with jian qi charis and corlis. corlis is charis' sister, and she's very very cute! enjoyed her company, she's so humorous and bright. could understand quite alot of stuff we were talking about! and kept insulting me and jian qi even though she's 8 years younger!
anyway i got an excuse sheet on friday. the medic who gave it to me was like "woah congrats, you've got a full house!" , simply because there were a few excuses which lasted 1 month:
Excused running, marching jumping,lower limb activities, heavy loads, prolonged standing, prowling. hahaha excused PROWLING!
and at last my dark eye rings are showing. i've gotten away with it for the past 2 years.
thanks to everyone at HQ 1 SAF Transport Battalion. especially my chief clerk and my upper studies hao yi and gary and everyone else in S1 branch for taking care of me and treating me like one of your own even though i'm a LOBO still. it's my last day as a driver already...officially will be Admin Support Assistant on 180607. and alot will depend on luck.
after my unit haggled with CPC and 1SIR over me for so long, i guess my value has gone up pretty high. i aim to be a Corporal First Class. that should say alot about me then. Better yet, admin Specialist. 21 more months to go, it'll pass soon, as they say. and i'll learn alot more about human behaviour.

3 months soldier
there goes everyone, passing out of tekong, out of that hellhole.
only to wake up knowing it can only get no better
there goes everyone, being promoted to private, after that torture.
but wouldn't they rather stay as recruits. think.
there goes everyone, talking about the same stuff, about army.
do we never get sick of it? we do, but we don't.
there goes everyone, getting posting orders, going everywhere.
anywhere you go you still get shit so don't ever bother complaining, PLEASE.
there goes my upperstudies, teaching me so much, letting me learn.
but can i even stay or do i go as per posting order?
Stay-in Soldiers: wa lan eh why i book in every week once only damn it la
Stay-out Soldiers: wa lan eh why i have to book in every single day damn it la
Stay-in Soldiers: Lucky my transport expenses are mostly free. tonner everyday. zzz
Stay-out Soldiers: I take train and bus to work everyday. so darn expensive if u go calculate!
Hence, it seems like a bad thing to stay out huh. But i'm still gonna attempt to get my 'excuse stay-in' status this friday! cos the mattress is too soft and my back needs a mattress with support. so proud of myself because i never lied so far. R&D clerks don't lie anyway. haha. reliable news that HQ clerks also need to stay in for my unit. everyone's getting the excuse, but i don't really mind actually. Cycle home at 5.30. Play comp till 11.30. Cycle back to camp before 2359. Wake up at 7.30 and start work at 8. seriously i won't mind. but they'll need to find a bed for me first. there's no vacancies that i know of. sigh mandai hill..i don't want to go to you on monday..hope for the best..prepare for the worst..

now's my turn to say "I WILL CHARGE YOU"
got my posting on monday which left me depressed for that day.
1 SIR Admin Support Assistant
i was feeling so screwed..screwed as in mandai hill ulu isolated desolated stay-in screwed up ppl screwed.
but then i felt comforted cos my chief clerk vowed to keep me in his unit, in that same office i'm in, even if it took a war with the other unit. so he is fighting for me, to stay in his branch. meanwhile he made me R&D understudy. my 2 upperstudies are really nice mentors, might be abit strict especially with my tendencies to sleep during lunch hours, but really tell me alot about this job of REGIMENTATION AND DISCIPLINE. (not research&development)
and i have been advising ppl not to go awol(absent without official leave) not because of a sincere forthcoming altruism but simply because that translates to extra work for me. i do not want to cancel a dinner with a friend simply because some guy went awol and i have to start a chain of reports and work overtime because of that bugger.
SO PLEASE, I AM SADISTIC BUT DON'T LET ME BE THE ONE 'CHARGING' YOU
oh well i once had jokingly expressed that i wanted to be an r&d clerk and laugh at ppl getting charged..seems that i'll have my 21 months of laughing at them..and i was so shagged after returning home at midnight the previous day after an exciting dinner with a bunch of friends that i collapsed on an office table the next day. my boss saw me slumped onto the desk and gave me a stern warning. today she came in and pleaded for me to not sleep especially that now i'm 'an r&d clerk leh'. i felt so bad after being warned yesterday, i just slept from 8 pm to 7 am!! madness!
but i will be a highly regimental and disciplined regimentation and discipline clerk for everyone to see. and i will never go awol, because i don't want to file my own charge report EVER, this i vow..
message of the day(initiated by REC HERRICK ONG) found on my office board:
Familiarity breeds productivity
productivity breeds efficiency
efficiency breeds teamwork
teamwork breeds familiarity
familiarity breeds babies.

danke sehr
come june 5th, i would have done nothing in the army for 2 months. but learnt much, i would have.
they say army kills your social life. but it probably has quadrupled it. going out an average of 3 days out of 5 workdays. not forgetting the offpasses.
heard of people complaining about the hour long trips to camp? i can walk out at 7.20 and reach camp by 7.40, which makes me 20 min earlier. i wonder why i don't leave at 7.30 instead. so i am lucky. and i am grateful.
looking at my band today, all of them have shaved heads. here i am using wax on my armani-styled hair. i am fortunate.
i am glad for all my friends who continuously give me so support and keep me company. for my primary school friends who can talk about literally everything to me. from love to work to family to love. to ann who makes me feel like a loser when i start sobbing about my ex and lets me hide at her house. to xinle who talks about supposedly interesting stuff and shares her unrealistic and materialistic expectations for her next boyfriend which makes me feel like shit, to carina who never fails to mention her girlfriend which gives me the cringe and induces homosexual tendencies in me.
(curious, i don't really have sec sch friends hah)
and to my jc class girls who never fail to last minute abandon our outings or turn up late....
THANK YOU. why am i typing a sarcastic entry without feeling it. i think my heart still hurts. so much that i expect to see a cardiologist. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
