Was supposed to book in yesterday at 1900 hrs. But was feeling super uncomfortable with the flu n the sore throat. So, went to see a doctor early in the morning. As usual, i put up my innocent look and the doctor actually sympatise a thalassemia patient like me. Gave me mc till tues. Haha. Called back company line and was given the opportunity to book in on wed morning. Yay! Happy holiday. At least i dun hav to go back and face those stupid idoits from my section and the useless sergeants that boss ppl around, abusing their stupid authority when they actually have to bow so low in front of incik(sergeant major), the officers and OC.

Being an OOT really make me realise a lot of things. A lot of politics going on and who i ought not to offend and who are those that really have no say in the company. This week i was rather pissed off by that old, irritating, uncivilised incik that threatened to confine us during the weekend. Idiot old man came into the office and stirred us for nothing. Complained that we never water the plants when we actually watered till the plants died of having too much water. Complained that we were idling around and not doing anything but in actual fact we were doing area cleaning the whole time. At that point, i really wanted to tell him to f***** off. Then, sgt adib got angry with me cos i was caught sleeping by incik and he kena scolded by incik. Its not my fault, its the medicine fault, but he couldnt accept the excuse i gave. After all this crap, got pissed off with the MO. Stupid idiot asked me to take blood test and claims that he didnt. Yelled at me and us me to get out of his room before he screamed at me. However, my stand at then was firm and i insisted for him to check for the results. True enough, the results were there and he had no choice but to give me the forms to sign for downgrading.

Pardon me for complaining more but those stupid idiots from my section is really irritating and detestable. Early this week, that CBK ( a nickname given by my platoon mates), took my entire biscuit roll that i bought and ate it like it belonged to him. I only took one piece from it lor. I came into the room and keep asking me got food or not why never share. Stupid jerk, he got food oso didnt share with us. Only knows how to beg food like a low-class beggar. Opened a tin of butter cookies and tok so much; say is his gf give one and warn us not to finish it. Idiot bastard. Feel like making the officers tekan him one day. Then, there is this shortie that despised me like crazy and was jealous that i get to stay in air-con room while he garang under the hot sun. Keep degrading me like crazy and what i can't stand him most is being sarcastic but the jokes all not funny. And he is really a super big boastful idiot. Boast about his gf, boast abt his studies when he is a poly dropped out, boast abt the jobs he have done before, boast abt everything. I think only stupid ppl would believe what he saes. This week, he even claimed that he confronted a commando and poured food onto his house door. Like real!!
Never mind about this idiots but i really hate the following 2 low-class, childish, bullshit jerks that im gonna tok abt now. Tok abt this "gorilla" from my platoon. When he needs ur help, he will bow lowly and tok to u nicely. But when he doesnt, he will pissed u off like crazy. Complained to the sgts that i didnt do area cleaning and confronted me to do it even though an OOT does not have to do it. Always think that i do nothing downstairs and expect me to help him do his chores. Keep borrowing things from me. But what i can't stand most is when he bad-mouthed about me infront of others and insult me with nasty words. Also, there is this lowly class RJ bastard(commonly known as Mary) that complains hell lot in front of us. Keep using vulgarities and insulted me during training for not performing well when i have already done my best. Laughed at me when i failed to accomplish things and kept calling me big f*** when im an OOT. Everything oso complain. However, such a well-performed soldier is actually scared of water and scared of height. Cried and trembled during SOC. What an irony. For ur information, he is the lower percentile and disgrace to RJ population as he performed badly for his As with ABCC and having such a lousy character that does not earn the respect from anyone.

Now, its time to share the happy stuff about my company. Most of the people from my platoon are nice and friendly. People from other platoons were also ok. Being the officers gave me chance to interact more with the officers. OC gave me the impression that he is veri humorous but act stern in front of all of us. Sir Salim is really a veri gd leader who leads by example. He talks nicely to me when giving me instructions and is veri tolerant to some of the mistakes i made and giving me chance to correct them by teaching me till i understand. Sir Raj is really a veri funny guy that jokes around in the office. He even invited me to his office for tea during one of the afternoons and we joked around and had casual talks in his office. Sir Samuel is a nice guy that shares a lot of things with me. He is very friendly, polite and always thank me for helping him out even though it was my duty to assist him whenever possible. Will always ask me along to go watch jing zhong ren one. Haha. Sir Azfar has those cool looks that makes people feel cold with his dry sense of humour. He can suddenly popped out from no where and dance and tease me. Sir Marco loves to joke and almost initiated a playful fight with me on saturday night. Haha, funny him. Dunno out of no reason, i suddenly missed sgt Damien like crazy for nothing. Duno why oso. Looked at Sir Salim's photo album, saw him and suddenly missed him, despite he scolded me so badly infront of the company that im a disgrace to SAF, but i still missed him. Probably his nice tone during field camp when i last saw him had made me change the impression of him ba.

Today, i had a nice lunch with douglas at TM. Went to ding fung tang for lunch. Never been so "china" before, step into a chi restaurant and started ordering stuff. Then, we both went for a haircut cos we dun trust the lousy skills of army barbers. Went to buy roti boy before going home. Quite tasty wor, really worth the money. Went to check out for my NS pay. It is still not there yet, probably will come tml ba. However, was satisfied with the new ATM card i got from the POSB for i need not stay with that old-fashioned ATM card anymore.

Shall backtrack a little from my last entry. Booked in on the 24th feeling exhausted and sweaty. Went into the company office and was shocked to see new officers and long time no see, sgt damien hanging around there. They were rather shocked to see me entering the company office after such a long "vacation" that i had. Was told not to join the field camp since i have missed quite a lot of lessons during my medical leave. Became a temporary OOT in the office. However, being an OOT is not as easy as what many people think it would be. First night, i was already required to do a lot of shit work and on subsequent days, i have to wake up at wee hours just to collect rations for the recruits and commanders. On top of all this, area cleaning around the company line was required, together with answering calls in the office and doing some admin stuff. It is really a whole list if i were to mention what i have done over the entire week.

Finally got to book out during labour day where i can finally get some good rest. Went out with douglas to bugis to celebrate his birthday. Ate at sakae then had our dessert at swensens. Spent quite a lot that night but it was worth it after such a long week of tiring work. Should really spend this money to pamper myself. Haha. Spent the day before booking in typing minutes at home. Spent quite some time on that since the job was assigned by 2IC and i should really put in the effort since he had given me so much trust to attend OC meeting on saturday morning.

Back to camp this week. Get the hang of the job already. Now, i'm more confident in handling calls and talking to officers. They are now beginning to experience the wild side of me, esp the new officers. Haha. Lt Raj is also veri funny. Kept joking with me in the office and he even invited me to his office to have snacks with him. Haha. The most enjoyable thing about being an OOT is the aircon, the freedom to eat at anytime and to watch TV. However, we still have to face the hot son while doing area cleaning and these few days the torture of collecting rations again for SIT test. Sian.

Feeling veri sick and tired now. Went to see MO a few days back and was given Attn B for 3 days. Got a confirmation slip from the MO for downgrading. Yay. This means im halfway to the success of being a non-combat soldier.
