Absolutely *F*antastic Weekend (well almost)

You have got it. The days preceding to today since last week has been like this. Absolutely *F*antastic. (pls pay specially attention to the "F"...)

Argh, again i have been proven that bad things will follow bad things. And that it is not always wise to have too good a working relationship with your superiors (well, at least in an absolutely hierarchical organisation like e army) Well, if i begin telling u what things i "tahan" in camp, don't know whether i will end up mad at being reminded of this non-sense or my keyboard will go spoilt.

Anyway, on the bright side, I found out tat i have a uncanny ability to suffer in silence (since i am confined {cos of duty} at this very moment, i think i could have had fulfilled the requirement to join sispec...haha..guys think u know wat i mean)..,anyway as guanyu would know i just had a high fever on friday morning (measured 38.6 deg C at Hendon Medical Centre @ 0900 hrs), and sia la...here i am back in office doing my duty and taking in all the saikang from any officer/warrant that i see...and e best thing is? i feel like i have the power of accepting the saikang and not doing it at all...haha...(you must have had at this pt think i have lost it, well, i myself think i have too)

As for army again, well, it's a very strange system where work seems to be done at the surface, but there's quite a lot job "dis"atifaction and "lan-lan"ness going on around here, in my camp at least. It's not to say that the WHOLE army is f**ked up, or the whole system is problematic (tat's would be sweepingly unfair)...after careful analysis i think for my case it's when in a very rigidly structured system, there's a "screamer" and a "orderer" who needs to accomplish a lot of "dirty work" and he has this groups of NSF (read national suckers foundation) to "play" around. It's just that i feel cheated. Actually, all people do not like working (haha...right? ^5!) but to really get them to work properly and dedicatedly, laws and GOMs, punishments, confinements, extras, alone shouldn't be the only "presuasive" factor, there has to be monetary, if not an equivalent mix of spiritual, or emotional gratification. If not you get a grouchy team, slogging but cant wait to leave you behind at the first chance.

As for myself, well, in short, i m not a soldier, not a ordinary clerk who can slack too(btw the work i am doing is e exactly the same as those done by DXOs and sergeants...too bad i cant be promoted to sergeant thou). Well used to coax myself into working by hoping i would learn something from it. Well i did, and that is to never let myself be part of such a unfair system (again i stress it's not the whole army...think i see some other people being managed quite ok)...So that means my body, my faith and my persistance stands in the balance. 6 and 1/2 more months to ORD!

Ok, anyway, thanks again for hearing my grievance for e week. Hopefully wun have more. And pls delete this nonsense from your brain after you read it (not good to keep negative thoughts :p ) As to Chiou Lin, my loyal reader, very sorry still owe you last week's entry...too busy liao...later i try to put it in...already forgot some things liao...but ya guarantee that tat one would be less work related than this.

So what are you waiting for?
Make the most of your weekend!
