Baa Baa Black Sheep.



National service is something dat most or should i say all guys dread about here in Singapore. The most likely reason for dat i can think of is of course u have to say sayonara to ur freedom n chant a whole new mantra call DISCIPLINE among other traits. I was serving my national service not too long ago in 1st Guards n without holding back i can easily say that the two years spent there were easily my most miserable.. Saying thus,i can also say dat the two years in 1st Guards was also one of the best things dat could have happened to me cos quite frankly it turned me into a man from a ignorant boy dat i was. National service made me sit up n ponder abt certain things dat we normally would take for granted. Few days back my best friend went off to start his journey of national service,i met him up on the eve of his enlistment n was telling him on some do's n don'ts of being a soldier. I also told him dat i hope dat he doesnt get an Indian or tamalae as his superior but fate would have it dat he did indeed got himself a tamalae as his superior. He was telling me on the pone yesterday on how tat superior was picking on him n how ignorant he was when my best friend showed him some medical documents regarding his health. There's just something dat i dunt understand about tamalae superiors esp the ones u see in army n in the police force. Why do they get great joy in showing off their authority whenever they can n in the process belittling their fellow Indian men.. I dunt understand y this farkers have to make u feel so low so dat they can sleep well thinking about their so called achievements.. There are those of course who really show u care n concern n most importantly respect u,i had the privilege of noeing an Indian staff sergeant who took charge of me a few times when i was doing my guard duty. He i would salute cos he treated us like a brother regardless of wad race we were n gave us due respect for who we were.. Sadly there are alot of punks who just because they have the rank n authority choose to abuse it so dat they can go back n gloat to their gf/wife n fellow makkals about their 'honorable' accomplishments when they are simply nuthing more den a bunch of insensitive cowards ..

Like i said in my previous post,my application to pursue my diploma in a polytechnic was deemed unsuccessful. I emailed back Singapore Polytechnic regarding my appeal as Sp was my first choice in the five choices given.. I got to noe the original result of my application last friday n dats when i sent them my first email,i waited till Monday evening but there still wasnt any reply n so i sent them another email regarding the appeal. Its friday again but yet again they have failed to mail me back regarding my query. I cant believe the nonchalance n ignorance of a so called top school here in Singapore,its a straightforward mail appealing abt a entry to their school n its amazing dat it actually takes them so long to give me an answer. How long does it take to type, Dear student.. We regret to inform u tat ur appeal to join Sp was unsuccessful. That took me friggin 4 secs.. Tat brings me to my next point.. I called up Sp todae to find just wad the hell happened to my appeal n the wonderful person i talked to actually told me dat theres no appeal for ITE students who apply thru the Jpae dat is me. I was like wad the n so i asked him back y isnt there an appeal for Jpae applicants n all he could reply was dat there arent many ITE students who apply for a place in Poly.. I told him that since there are not many ITE students who apply for a place in Poly,all the more should u guys give them a place there of course with the right credits.. N so he just laughed n said thats something da school decides n blah .. From the number of ITE students dat polytechnics here take in to the fact tat theres no appeal for a failed application for an ITE student there seems to be a distinct lack of respect n importance to us ITE students. We are not gifted our good grades n awards,we have to show the same values n the same good traits dat it takes for a student to get a diploma or a degree for dat matter. All talk but no action,well not quite as ill be meeting up the MP real soon with my dad to voice out certain issues dat has been bugging me.. I hope he can give me some good answers n results.. Well lets hope something constructive comes out of it.. Anyway enjoy ya weekends.

Its been a disastrous few days for us i noe.. God just likes to test us sometimes when hes bored but he also does dat with a reason.. When u came thru his testing test ,im sure theres something good thats bound to happen. Its crazy,it really is the way u make me feel.. When pple fall in love,they always think dat its meant to be till the end but i feel ours is destiny.. Its said that its not good to get too ahead of urself but i say i believe in faith den fate itself.. :)
