time fries, i mean flies. its the weekend again. or more accurately, the weekend is ending soon. its already sunday morning. sigh, soon, i'll have to book in, again.
the cycle of my life is getting too mundane, dull, predictable and repetitive. to put it in a more apt way, it totally sucks. i just hate the feeling of going in to a prison at the start of every week.
anyhow, here's an update of my life. as you all know, i was an infantry recce trooper for a short period of time. hell, the short period of my life was hell. i hated it, loathed it. nothing could change my attitude towards what i was doing at that point of time.. meaningless, trivial physical torture. thinking back, the only thing i gained was friends, bundled with a huge mass of negativity.
so in came the 'OOC'. i got the hell outta there, and worked my way to be an admin personnel in my godforsakendamned camp. slowly, i gained the confidence of my commanders and peers thru my admin work. i started to enjoy my army life immensely, not only because of the respect and trust people gave me about my work, but because of the freedom and flexibility that came with it. can you imagine ? shawn, drawing out the brighter side of a picture.
last friday, the manpower board of the SAF decides to take that happiness away and give me a new posting : to become a driver. WTF. and then many strange sequences of events ensue. i book in to my new camp, sembawang camp with all more heavy barang barang. wait an entire day for them to sort out admin matters. in the end, they say they cant accept me in this new camp, and will have to post me out, again. TALK ABOUT EFFICIENCY AND BASIC MANNERS. i hate being in such a scenario.
played soccer briefly today with mel, ray, fik,alistar and gopal at a cck court. had some fun.. then they came over to my place to watch soccer and eat pizza. qutie a nice saturday spent i must say, even though arsenal went down terribly to manchester city 1-0. well, thats all my mind can process and type out now. oh, by the way pjc peeps, eddie koh has a new blog up. www.readingtherain.blogspot.com .. pretty interesting read i must say, keeping us updated about the life abroad and stuff.. going back to that blog just made me miss my jc days so so much. the nostalgia i feel now can never be expressed in words. well, shall blog more later on in the sunday. till then, sleep tight.
