down time

havent been updating much recently. whole lot of crap just suddenly appeared and guess who's cleaning up the mess. to speak the truth, its been a fubar situation i'm stuck in now. food doesnt have any appeal, cigs are just there to pass away the time, everything seems such a drag. the only thing i'm looking forward to nowadays is nothing.

after the experience i have gathered so far in my life in the army, i can honestly say that, the army is a pretty fucked up organisation. sure, every major or even minor capitalist corporation is pretty fucked up, one can argue, but seriously, none of them can truly compare to the army.

first off, its a conscript army. that means majority of the work are done by us, lowly paid servicemen who have to slog through the mandatory period. that means we dont have the choice to quit if we're not happy with the job, or the pay. that means we are the expendables of this organisation, which every single fucked up job are assigned to us, even though its not our job.

why do we even pay so much tax to the government? they justify the amount of tax money being driven into the defence budget by stating our geographical location and the so called vulnerablities of our nation. do they even see the amount of money the regulars take home, while asking their NSF clerks, soldiers, etc to do their work? oh wait, i forgot, these people are in cahoots with the government. just look at the ministers or even the top dogs of all the government companies.

secondly, it states in its directive that soldiers are not supposed to seek redress outside of the organisation. blah blah blah, cue the usual rhetoric. it covers everything on how a soldier should seek redress if he felt he was treated unfairly, except the part on where the unfair treatment was handed out by his immediate superior. wow, great foresight to leave that part out.

i guess if anyone comes across this, i'll be charged for breaking the rules. heh, imagine that, in a country where supposedly its democratic, free speech can get you into trouble.

Free speech, I think it's at Hong Lim Park nia. And has to come with police's approval =)
