I was really agitated and pissed by what happened in e past week. Maybe i am no longer that tolerant anymore. there was 1 day when my company was given a nite off. I juz finished returning my vehicle and my friends were all waiting for me. yes, i was touched. i needed to talk to michael about e vehicle stuff and den change into civilian clothes. but there came a bitch who juz told mi to shut up, stop talking to mike and start changing! i was so damn pissed! i mean i am touched that u all waited for me but cant u see that i am busy. that was so uncalled for and insensitive.

then, today. this guy who i ll call N is quite professional in his work. he will ensure that everything is done nicely but he can be quite kan chiong. he called me to ask some of e guys to dismount radio from a vehicle and i came down 1st. i was there happily doing by myself and waiting for e guys to come. n den N ve to be panicky n asked where e rest were. e driver was kind enough to help us. our sgt saw and asked why e driver was helping us and N told him that bcuz i was e onli one who came down and helped. WTF! we are your friends la! even if that is true cant u say sth else to cover for ur friends. sorry ar, but i think it is an act of boot polishing even though i noe N doesnt really mean it.

cant pple be more tactful or sensitive? haiz. and dun be mistaken both of them are still friends of mine. sometimes friends can get on ur nerves too rite?

On a lighter note, today is cobra challenge. it is about guys forming groups of 10 to challenge themselves physically and mentally. my unit sent 1 group. they have to carry sbo, rifle, helmet each and e whole team carry 1 siganl set n 1 stretcher (oops, dunno how to spell). they have to fast march 13km altogether and in e meanwhile, go to range to shoot and do reverse soc. it is really a tough challenge and e group came in 21 out of 47. kudos to all of them esp. when they didnt train at all. Yeah!

My job in e challenge is to do rebroadcast. it is juz another normal signaller job. n mi church friend, amos who walked in e challenge saw me. he exclaimed that y is my life is army so slack. hahha. cos we met in thailand before that where he had to go for a pseudo war which was very tiring while mine was juz manning the radio sets which is nothing compared to his. Not that i am gloating, but pple must learn not to compare. if comparing will make u sad, den y compare? there ll be no end! Life is unfair. pple are smarter than others; some are more handsome/ beautiful; some are richer; some are more outspoken; etc. e list goes on. so come on, lets not compare or at least try to aim for that. u ll be happier.

heavenknows
