When people are drunk they do or say things they do not mean. Like the Siglap 7-11 auntie who insisted I did not look the age to purchase alcoholic drinks. Even after I flashed her my SAF ID card she maintained that I let my older looking friend pay for the drink. This incident has left me baffled, as I distinctively recall many people telling me how old and sunken I have looked ever since I enlisted in the army. I attributed that to the rigorous and demanding training I had encountered while serving our nation. But now I suddenly look like a chao gina trying to score some booze. Basket. I have a bunkmate who is 17 years old and he looks older than most of us. He probably started looking old when he was even younger because he said he started buying cigarettes when he was 14. But then again he could be looking so chao lao because he smokes. Yes, smoking makes you look older. Also, it kills. Please do not smoke.
Was damn suay last Thursday during our SOC test. Spent a few hours preparing my SBO and everything but I forgot to secure my bayonet to the scabbard. After running 700 meters, climbing the low wall, crossing the parallel bars, jumping the wooden beam thingy and making my way up and down the low rope, my bayonet slipped out onto the floor. I was already half dead then and my only thought was that I had failed the test and had to retry it another day, so I bah long long made my way to the bayonet and picked it up. (If you drop anything while doing SOC you're pretty much disqualified.) I was pretty relieved because I was so damn shagged and I just wanted to give up. However, I heard a faint voice telling me to go on. The voice told me that it was not over and I still could pass. It sounded like my guardian angel, but was actually one of the neutrals for the test. I smiled and carried on, like a true soldier would, and completed the course in 8 minutes and 43 seconds. Could have been faster, if not for my blardy bayonet. By the way, those of you who do not understand any of the cheem army terminology above, please ask your father, brother or male friend who has been through hell.. I mean national service.
Was also quite suay yesterday also when I went swimming with my old JC classmates. Our purpose was to get a nice tan so we could show it off to ourselves at home but it was raining the whole day. We did eventually enter the water but the sun was all covered up. Then went to play mahjong and one dude got so pissed at losing so much money he started cursing in front of the host's family. I only lost $1.50 so I wasn't allowed to do the same.
This week I'll be staying out everyday, so if you're reading this and don't have a life, feel free to drop a message in the tag board and wait for osama bin laden to reply.
