Just for the fun of it~

Hi guys..

been a long while since I decided to update. I not really sure what to write actually, even though it's been an eventful few weeks.... 2 of my friends have already left the country, and .. let's just say it's been an eventful few weeks.

Hm what to do? I know! There seems to be a trend of poetry among my friend's blogs these few days, so I think I'll do just that. Attempt a poem!

Roses are red, violets are blue,
Love is what they should call you
You quietly support me when times are down,
you worry when I go out to town
You give and expect nothing in return,
only a simple thank you, a hug or some concern
You are more true than any I will know,
more fantastic than cold desert snow
Yet I cannot love you as much as you do me,
I cannot give back what I owe to ye,
I am a charlatan, a mongrel in this sense,
yet I hope you will be with me until the very end...
But I should see that this will not be true
and I must learn to love and treasure you
For when it comes, it may be too late,
and all I can give myself is my own hate
This poem sucks, and I know you won't read it
Yet...

Crap. Not sure how to end it. Oh well, nice attempt I think. I think... not really a good poem, just simple rhyming .. but just for the fun of it, like I said. Well that's all for now. Ciaoz~

Back to the civilian world..

Hi everyone..

Yep I'm back to the living world. In case anyone here was wondering where I went ( which is highly unlikely.. I think everyone who even reads this place already knows where I went) for the past week , I was doing reservist at the lovely Nee Soon Camp. Yep... lovely place. Nice facilities, decent treatment, in fact way better than my NS life before... at least not too bad...

BUt you know what? I still can't stand it. Not the training, seriously.. I mean, sure, the training is hard, in fact, crazy. Running IPPT 3 consecutive days in a row?? Luckily I passed then, but heck, its still exhausting. But still, it can be fun, in a sadomasochistic kind of way. I enjoyed being with my NS friends once again... people I can really just crap with, with whom I can talk all kinds of nonsense and not care about offending anyone.. be as racist as I want with anyone right smack in their face and still get away with it. I like being free to talk as much crap as far as I want... of course not in the officers' faces lah. Golden rule still applies.. you can do anything you want, just don't get caught. Not to mention.. amy life is slightly easier than civilian life.. you don't need to think about what to do next, just follow orders and do. Not much thinking involved.

It's the freaking regimentation. The need to fall in, listen to people talk crap while not sleeping, to follow orders and timings to the dot and ... very importantly.. the army mentality of rush to wait, wait to rush. Rush to one place with all your stores prepared well, far away from bunk, ready to cheong to operation then cheong back ( ok not reli cheong there, but definitely cheong back) and then what do they say? Wait for further instruction.. WFFI. One hr excercise becomes 2 hrs, 3... drag drag drag. Bore the hell out of anyone.

Admin between officers and the like is also pathetic. Plenty of incidents to show that, but basically just need 2 know tt orders are ALWAYS being miscommunicated, slow, or lost somewhere. In short, if we ever fight a war, we're going to rain artillery on our own men.

This is why people have no respect for us.. and that the enemy isn't either, if the enemy isn't coming from inside or is just ourselves. Perhaps it could be disgruntled men... sure, that would actually be possible. Men that are pissed over the constantly endless signing, shifting stores, long queues, hell lots of time and money wasted for nuts.

Ah well enough. Not sure if I have enough now that Mindef will have to shut down this blog. Ah the hell with it. I'm tired. Night.
