I want June holidays. No wait, I don't want to go back to school.
Finding out that it's the June holidays came as a shock. We're all too disconnected to know what's going on outside of Pulau Tekong, and that's quite sad. I wouldn't have gotten first-hand news of the elections if not for my sister who sent real-time SMSes (which were read only the next morning, seeing as lights out is normally...early), the newspapers delivery doesn't deliver all the time, and even if it does, we don't really have enough time to read.
Sides, we're normally too tired.
NS really makes people more disoriented with the outside world.
I'm not complaining about this to be honest. I've always wanted to be a hermit and this is part of the become-a-hermit effort.
Reading Facebook updates pisses me off too. This is probably another reason why I'm suddenly appreciative of SAF's efforts to isolate us. There are people going on and on sarcastically about how the NSFs who are slack get good postings (good refers to slack), while the more garang ones get the more xiong postings.
DUH.
Anyone with some semblance of wit would know make such arrangements. Why send someone who doesn't have the heart to serve to be an officer? Why send someone who has the heart to serve to be a clerk?
In short, if you don't want to be posted to a unit which pushes you hard, don't act like you want to be pushed hard. NS is fair, in the sense that it won't force you to do things you don't want to do, and if it tries to, you can always try to OOC.
Some people have to little common sense it pisses me off that they're on my "friends list". I think it's time to do something drastic, like deactivate my Facebook, download 10 years worth of quality porn, and cancel my Internet subscription.
