Juz thought I'll ramble this b4 it gets off my mind and b4 I get to work. Most likely will forget this when I get to doing my stuff, so yea.
I seriously am against the Army way of choosing ppl for scholarships, preferring ppl who have strong academic qualifications and having gone thru barely 5 mths of army to be given the prestigious scholarships, yet not recognising those NSF officers who perform and ultimately gain the recognition of SoH, SoM etc. These would include my friends, who are each excellent in their own field, and have proven in. Yet, the Army STILL prefers the untested, unproven, and scholarly types. Why?!
Is there something with the system which seems to favour them? Look at the long list of SAFOS, SMS, ATA holders, and tell me who in them was fully tested b4 given the scholarship? I dare say it's less than 20%.
More so, if the organisation is so damned big and rewards only the ppl they can see with their limited view, i.e. the scholars. The rest and condemned and left to staff positions deemed unworthy of the better personnel. Added to the fact is that the organisation DOES NOT reward those who perform good on the ground, so it leaves one to wonder whether the organisation truely believes in maintaining the morale of its officer corps, which is splitting into 2 camps.
Seriously, I give neither a thought nor a heck to the organisation. Serve and f*** off. They dun owe me anything, and neither do I. If they crumble and fail due to the limited scope that is available to them, so be it. Let them burn...

.Today.
And today marks the EXACT day in 1 year which I would be getting my pink IC, and ORD. Yea man. So this marks the start of a long long period of stuff to do, i.e. IPPT (Why they have not arranged for mine remains a mystery to all), NDP, AHM, MSR...
And yes. Today was the day which had the 1st IMDR, where ppl of various groups come together bit by bit to rehearse, I get to see whether my plan works, we get to see how smooth processes are b4 the participants (ie sch children) come in. So it was a pretty hectic day.
Added to the fact is that I was the DO yesterday, and yesterday asked Puay Hong to stand in whilst I made the trip to Mandai Hill Camp, Senoko and National Stadium to load/unload stores and the 19l water drums. Damn heavy. And you are talking about 9 ppl settling 500 of them. Xiong sia. Haiz, but job done in the end.
Lotsa stuff learnt, and some are really good points. Gonna bring up all those required pts in the meetings...
Yea and today was a darned tired day. DO yesterday, did the 19l stuff with the guys, and today having to rush to National Stadium to oversee (but my staff did the job mostly, so kudos). Nonetheless, enjoyable day.
Hopefully, will go out in the weekdays liao...haha....

Yea....So they offer me what they did in the first place. Great. They sure did have an impression that I will do SO DAMN BAD for the interview tt they asked me to take the other thing as backup. Haha. Burn in hell. I wish I could serve, but if YOU reject me, I've no other comments...
Suck thumb time...
Anyway, off-tangent from the above, today was great! Went back OCS again for Army Safety Exhibition, and went back Delta Wing. Everything has changed....Instructors and all. Cadets now have more freedom...and it's only a year! And they changed the PT kit as well...now look like instructors, so have one platoon of *gasp* 'instructors' in maroon PT-kits?! Sheesh...I'd still prefer the white/black which I wear now...Wore white/red in OCS training.
Met up with LTA Heng...now TCO of Delta cos LTA Louis gonna ORD lo....lol! Sighz, frankly just catching up, cos I've not talked to them for long long time since I was posted out of Delta. Really great to see a friend (and ONLY NSF officer) still ard...lol.
Taking work home to do...shack sia. More pay! Pls! My current one sucks sia.
Tml being DO...whole day outta camp, so let Puay Hong help stand in. Screwed up sia. Nvr tell me in advance -.-

CWP = Company Work Procedure?!
Anyway, this CWP which was recently formed seems to be attracting lotsa attention, it sounds like a complain board for ppl to voice why someone has more privlieges than them and why cant the ministers and those govt officials use Civics & Sunnys instead of Audis and Mercs.
Just that this panel seems to be the official why certain things are happening in Singapore...macham like complain board and helpdesk in one. One-stop post for answering questions...
Oh wait. Another day which is too commercialised. Then again, which day in the calender aint? As long as the money dudes sense money to be made, big time, they will sensationalise and make it such that they can profit. Heh. Smart dudes.
But of course, one must not forget what the original meaning of mother's day was in the first place....

Watched tonight, with Wesley, Dan and Darius. Darn nice show I must admit. Lived up to my expectations. Well, when yar have watched Bram Stoker's Dracula and compare with this, both are totally different man...
Bram Stoker's Dracula was focused more on the start & end of Dracula, and it DID feature the wolfman, Van Helsing and Mina Harker (to be seen in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen)
Whereas, for Van Helsing, it was more of a action packed film which gives many reasons to watch:
1) U get Dracula and Wolfman slug it out in a 10 min(?) action sequence, non-stop!
2) U get to see Mr Hyde get trashed....real bad :p
3) U get to swoon at Dracula's brides. ;)
4) U get to see the latest gadgets which may not even be found hundred years later o.0'
5) U get to see Kate Beckinsale in a hot hot red dress! ^_^
Heehee....well....Troy's up next!
Think wont mind watching this movie again :p
Okay...finally...and yesterday, 060504 marks the first time I've seen the Mess organise a Happy Hour...which little ppl in Armt knew about. What the heck haha....
So Cpt Lee & Ravi were like asking me... "Shiyao, is there a Happy Hour tonight?"
[Quizzical look]
