6th sept 2008. Two years later, and im ( not so lah) free!
But, what i really missed are the days i lived life as an RP. And i really learnt ALOT there, mixing around with those i used to avoid. Those group of malay ppl who is not so well educated, those who came from ITE, and even some, secondary sch dropouts. But then,fuck with the education, fuck with my taking up a degree course; ive realised there's more to life than just ur paper qualifications. I've opened my eyes to see the other side of the world.
Yes, as i mentioned, they're rowdy. They're narrow minded, they're easily agitated, and their jokes - they doesnt mince their words to make fun of you. Their jokes are not for the faint-hearted. They drink, they smoke, they gamble, they went geylang-ing, they take stuffs, they fight, they had sex often and everything u could associated the negative with.
But ive adapted. I merge with them, and ive became more tolerant to diff ppl. And i learnt a lot from their lives. Ive never been ever so thankful of my life before this. Some of them came from a broken family, divorced parents, having a stepdad, sister being an unwed mum, etc etc. And some of my friends are the sole bread-winner of the family. My God! 22 year-olds and are supporting the family! Im 22 and i even cant afford to even pay for a single electrical bill! I STILL depended on my PARENTS! WTF! But they had to take up double jobs; after working in camp, they had to work outside to earn extra cash. And wat did i do after camp? Sleep and play psp and dwell on this stupid blog. They're what u called street-wise peeps. They had experienced so much difficulties and hardships that i think i will only experience in my 30's. They knew exactly how to survive.
And they're truthful; they're are NOT hyprocrites. They nv pretend or disguise themselves from who they really are. And they protect. Many a times we had unruly disagreements with FUCKED-up, egoistic officers; of whom some are younger than us! But we stand by together, and even had heated arguments with the officers; and some just because of MY mistake!! Theyre willing to take the bullet for me! And, and, we had a common enemy: the Commissioned OFFICERS! Wat, they think they are well educated, they're the biggest fuck?? There's this young officer who is a year younger than me, and he called my Regimental Sergeant Major ( who is a 1ST WARRANT) by his name! Come on lah, the dude is old enough to be ur father, and u dont call ur FATHER by his name! Sometimes, even if i had the chance, i considered myself lucky not go to OCS and see myself as one of those DISGUSTING humans. Some more, those officers who came from JC! WTF!!! Their stupidity; I really, really had no COMMENTS about them.
Thats y i didnt respect officers till this day. On the outside, i salute them, but that's only because we're FORCED to, dammit!
And back to my life as being a man. Im so thankful with the friends i had surrounding me. And boy, do we had FUN together! All those unforgettable memories, and the stupid JOKES we had! To give you an example, they gave me a surprise on my 22nd birthday; they bought me a birthday cake! My friends had NV bought a birthday cake for me, and they're the last peeps in the world whom i think would give me such a surprise!
My hommies!
They purposely wanted a jerry, considering that im smaller compared
to most of them, a Tom. WTF!
So, now, in sch, stressed out life,now i really really missed my army days and my beloved men. Time flies by so fast when ure enjoying urself!
I really relished those beautiful memories i had in army, and i hope to forge lifelong friendship with them!! :) :) :)
