School Of Infantry Specialists

You know how I had a problem with my previous platoon cuz the other sections were almost always late? Now, Im like the last to do shit! Haha! My current platoon seriously quite garang sia. They all know what to do but then I like standing there wondering wtf is going on. But at least the people there friendly, or else mati-susu.

Then my buddy is like same age as me, but hes gonna get married on January next year. Its quite surprising, obviously, cuz not many young peeps settle for the big thing that early. But from what Ive seen these past few days, hes always on the ball. And his level of responsibility is quite high up there.

And no, its not a shotgun.

But shiok man, the toilet got place to put the fucking soap. Not like last time must put on the floor. But kanina, I dio toilet IC. Fucking IC some more. Must jio people come clean toilet with me cheebye. Then the other section the toilet cleaner all half fuck one all dont wanna clean the shit in the end I have to scrub the shit. I recruit that time no need clean shit then why cheebye I promote already need to clean shit and need to ask people nicely "hi can you clean this shit for me"

fuck man.

I spent hours rehearsing for the parade to get a puny and irritating badge and they didnt even use the photo they took at the parade.

Not to mention the school sarge major said thered be a lot of people and the turnout was like, only 10 people.

Sissy Pecks

So Ive made it into the School of Infantry Specialists. Hmm. I was actually secretly hoping to get into Sembawang Naval Base cuz I can fucking ride my bike there, and navy is like, slack life man.

I kinda pity those OCS people. I doubt they know what theyve gotten themselves into. But hey, thats their path in life, and whatever they believe in life has chosen that path for them for some reason. I just hope they dont break anything inside there hahaha!

Vaudevillian Catastrophe

You know, I notice lately channel 8s actors have been getting suckier. That is, in terms of their acting. Thats entirely expected, seeing as how our new actors are chosen based on "talent" shows, where the talent is as scarce as clothes on a whore. You know, in the great West, there are acting schools, drama schools ... the works. Does Laseille do drama? Im not too sure, but maybe they should if they arnt.

The shows too have gotten crummier, cliched and utterly cringe-worthy. The one at 9 now, the little nonya shit, is one example of everything Im talking about. Just see how unnatural their movements are when combined with their speech. Try to imagine yourself doing exactly what theyre doing, and see if youd act (pardon the pun) like they do on tv.

Weird, how when I used to watch these shows for umpteen years but didnt notice anything. I cant say myself what opened my mind and saved me from this broadcasted torment, but thank God it happened when it happened.

So the dearest and I were talking, as usual, and one topic came up (it commonly does). It was how I was an obnoxious prat back in my first few years of poly. If I could chronosphere myself back in time I would probably bitchslap myself like I want to do to so many people in the army.

Of course, I still am an asshole, but at least now I do it consciously, and because I think everybody is stupid (which, not surprisingly, as statistics show, is true[thats a lot of commas])

And one of the weird things I notice is that I embody quite a few of the traits of the typical Scorpio. That is, the more asshole side of it ^^ I think the world revolves around me, and it really does. But then again, the world revolves around each and every one of us. Even if you devote your life to helping others, it still revolves around how you make the world a better place.

That's food for thought for you.

So today I was flipping my cabbage around on my plate cuz I wasnt feeling that hungry, and the visage of some people I know came up in my head, admonishing me to stop playing with my food cuz I had to respect my food.

Then I started thinking, why is it that these same people dont seem to show the same "respect" for water that they do for food? I mean, you dont see them whining about wasting water or playing with water when theyre in the shower. I mean, water could be considered a more valuable resource since you can live longer without food then you can without water.

And because my mom was yapping noisily on the phone at that moment, my train of thought suddenly took a different path. I thought of some pai kias I knew a few years back that had this moral guideline where they didnt allow other people to insult their mothers. They call this the "Dont Play Mother" commandment; some of you may have heard of it.

So whats up with this decree they place upon themselves? You mean after 16 or so years of being a parasite on your household, a societal scourge and treating your mom like dirt, you suddenly decide or realise that shes worth so much more? Or is it just an excuse to find trouble with people? Or, Heaven forbid, you want to play the trapped hero who does bad things but actually is a filial son with a heart of gold as a seductive facade for a girl whos stupid enough to think youre worth saving?

Why do we fabricate these moral rules?

I thought about this for a while more, but I couldnt find a satisfactory answer.

So then, in order to solve my cognitive conundrum, I concluded that what I was thinking about made little connection and sense, so I ate that piece of cabbage.

I am painfully aware of the lack of pictures here. But without my camera phone , what to do?

After every downpour is a rainbow.

At the end of every tunnel is a light.

When youre in it, it seems endless. But once youre out of it, everythings different. You may even smile.

But you know that already, dont you?

Both of you.

Priceless

Well, Im glad I finally mustered up the discipline to get my fat ass off from playing red alert 3 to go run. Its interesting how I can now run distances that would once make me pant like a fucking dog.

As for red alert 3, well, lets just say that certain elements of the game require some insane micro. Especially since their interface and controls were not designed for micro. Say you have 5 cryo-copters and 5 enemy tanks. Youd have to click-F-click for 1 target, then click-F-click for the next for like 5 times.This is totally not something that you want to do, or that can be done effectively in large scale battles.

What Im also not used to is that the game forces you to use air units, like how an airfield is a prereq for your tech building for higher tier units. It makes me miss how I could have my tri-hero nuke and ghouls and thatd be all it took to win back in my wc3 days.

Then I hear how my noobie friends, or acquaintances, say that this faction is good for air, this for sea and such. But I think this is bullshit since good micro owns everything, and since every faction has their equivalent or what another faction has.

I think RA3 has a lot of potential as a competitive game, but there seriously needs to be more people playing it online cuz I had to spend 2 minutes looking for 1 ranked 1v1 game. Its a huge difference from the 10 seconds in b.net.

Cryocopter freezing a dreadnought.

About damn time....

Theres A Hole In The Bucket, Oh Wait, I Meant Pocket...

Going to town is always a harrowing experience, especially on dates cuz the money just flies away so quickly. Oh well, spend it like you have it I guess.

Lunch was at canele, with some wholegrain chicken pasta, which was passable. Dear had lemon salmon, but I thought the lemon didnt really blend with the salmon. But their scrambled eggs were the best I have ever eaten. It really does melt in your mouth, and Ive never had eggs do that to me before ;p

Then followed Twilight, which I think was a movie I would have appreciated much more if I had read the book. But thing is, would I read any book if I already know the story through a movie? Hmm... that leaves some room for thought.

Man this video was awesome! Its 18 minutes long, but it shows us and gives us so much insight on the differences of human morality.

And to think, I watched this just after posting that I wanna slap people for not having my views!

WARNING: Watch only if you are an intellectual or interested in psychology. Otherwise itd be really boring for you.

I Want It All

The two alphabets on everyones lips is GP (graduation parade). But I cant stand it. I cant stand parades. They are just that. A parade. A show. And SAF tries to make it seem like its all about us.

"Its for your loved ones."
"Do this for yourself."

But what its really about is brainwashing our parents into thinking how awesome NS is to have turned us from this to that, how theyve turned unruly kids into a fighting force in 3 months and ease their worries about their children NS so that they dont have to worry bout their kids for 2 years.

Yes, let them see how we do our infantry roar with such gusto that they think we enjoy doing this. Let them see how great SAF must be to make us go through this facade with such jubilation.

And some of my friends are actually proud to have their parents come. I respect that, but sometimes I feel like slapping them cuz they dont see it. Or maybe they do, but couldnt care less.

Hold on my dearest, the end is near.
