Just to get it right, it has nothing link to the movie.
" Now i am in a game of survival, the whole brotherhood are in the game.
We have to bite each other for our own selfish thirst. Once one got bitten, he will get infected and it is just a matter of time before his endurance ends, the virus set in and he will go around bitting others.
All thank to the "careful", "smart" and "intelligent" planning by a group of men, THE PRECURSOR. They forcefully throw us in the game and we unwillingly becomes a victim. There is no escape. We have to throw away our friendship, kindness and mutual trust for our own survival. You cannot afford to be good hearted as stated under the one and only golden rule of the game.
The golden rule of the game.
- Either you slaughter others or get slaughtered. " - by a survivor
Thank for reading the introduction. Those above are a bit aggravated.
The real story are as follows ;
Due to the new rules starting from 2005 batch that indicate all nsf personal can't bring forward their leave to the next year. So we have to clear our leave by this coming December.
As my sqn is running routine timetable and have just sufficient personal for each team. When we take leave, we have to ask others during their SB and off day to stand in for us. Adding to the fuel, there is a number of people had or going to ord and not enough people to cover them. It always happens when a batch ord and there will be a period of time with no one to cover them.
You may be thinking why the sqn never plan for a new batch of trainees or rather increase the number of trainees in every batch. This, i did not know why so. Increase the number by 2 to 3 will like kill the whole sqn. Maybe the in charge wants to save cost or trying to make us more efficient by doing two man work. Using his left brain, he always plan for the actual number of trainees, thinking that everyone will successfully replace each single person ord. However, not taking into consideration that not everyone will successfully pass out or stay on. There will be people downgrade, having medical problem or etc. That repeats for every batch. It is marvelous that the in charge never realize this problem, he is very optimistic or maybe it didn't affect him so it is fine for him to repeat the same thing. As i am not in his position, so not able to understand his difficulties. They say using left brain people will think further and deeper and the right brain people won't understand them.
So back to the leave thing. Leave should be a happy thing but to us it becomes a bit of chore and bring unhappiness to others. When we going leave, we have to inform our own standby. The procedure goes like this; you on leave or mc -> other stand in -> when he on leave or mc -> another stand in -> ... -> ..... -> you stand in. You can't repay him back. The standby surely will have abit unhappiness with you. Quite bad for you. But too bad, that is life.
Helping others to stand in before, you know how bad the feeling is. So when you choose your leave, your human feeling told you try to put it on weekdays or preferable duties. There is also a silence rule states that if your routine falls on major public holiday ( Chinese new year, Christmas or so) try not to apply leave on that day, if not the standby will have to come back. However, there bound to be some one apply leave on those days. Maybe they got reasons or difficulties, but it become a snowball effect. The person standing in will be cursing and start to do the same by applying leave on weekend or so. Slowly everyone start to do so. "People already doing so and why not me" feelings. All just for survival.
And December is the crucial period. Everyone applying leave on the month. According to everyone forecast, if you didn't apply leave on December that month, you will be dead sorry. To my estimated prediction, every single day needs people to stand in. So you will have to work without break and it is counted lucky to get 6 days 2 off or 7 days 1 off work schedule. Stand in until you die, just like what my TL jokingly say " Punish you for not taking leaving "
I had already apply some leave on December and pray hard they approved it. However, 23 to 1 January 2007, i didn't apply because too many people applied. Now too late, even if i did now, i don't think it will get through. Mentally prepared to stand in during my SB day and off. As for Christmas, i hope i can spend it outside of CAMP.
Looking forward to my leave. The now and only goal in ASSet.
Am i long winded? haha
Good Night.

Finally all my wisdom are gone.
Oh i mean my tooth. My 4 wisdom tooth are finally extracted out. Thank to the contribution by our government, I saved 600 dollar.
It all started when i went for the navy routine dental checkup and i failed mostly because of my 4 wisdom tooth.
Bah bah bah... Never mind the exact detail.
Anyway just that i save 600 dollar. Haha.
I am crazy.
But there will be always 2 holes that won't close up for a very very very very very very long time; forever.
In order to save the memory tree at the networld, i shall blog all in one blog.
I am crazy. sign number 2.
Last saturday, despite of the hazy weather, we went to vivo city. While waiting for her, i saw endless flooding of people to the shopping centre. Habourfront mrt station become a resemblance of cityhall mrt. Old, young, baby, teenagers, just any age you want can be found there.
Poor singaporeans living in this small dot having not much place to go, starts to flood a new shopping centre when it is newly open. And I am one of them.
Luckily the shopping centre never seem packed, i think is because of its size.
As for the bold letter, it emphasis i seldom wait for her and people. ( a very small hint that i always late.)
Hmm next blog. Save another memory tree campaign.
I know that each alphabet will take out some memory size, so what i am doing is effortless. I know i am crazy but still continue to go crazy. Maybe in psychology there is a term to describe this symptom. Sign number 3.
Ok next topic.
Never download or upload illegally of mp3, video or use any p2p software ( limewa**, etc etc) to do illegal download. At least try not to.
More people doing this act got caught. If i didn't remember wrongly, 2 students and a housewife got caught. The police track them by ip address and knock on their home. Their personal computers got confiscated. It was reported a few days ago at strait times.
And the pioneer, i mean the first two home users that got caught for uploading numerous files to a certain p2p program have landed in months of jail. Pity them, trying to do "kind" deeds but in the end behind the bar.
I know it is hard to hold back the temptation to download illegally. Just because it is free.
So download at your own risk.
Pray the sun, star, cloud, moon and whoever in the sky is with us.
Bye. Time to go camp. Night shift.

Life story
I wish my leave will never end.
I wish i had ord.
I know at the end of my 2 yrs ns life, i might start to miss bits and pieces of it; The get scolded by some assholes, get shouted by some idiots, the feeling of doing sneaky things with bunkmates and hope won't get caught, discuss our future plan, together watch tv and comments on the tv drama, do duties together, becoming detectives to find out who is the culprit, brainstorming how to escape punishments when we do something wrong, training together, teamworking, slacking moments. Futhermore after ns, i will be 22 yrs old. Consider as a young adult. I have to think before acting on something and plan for future.
But now i really looking forward to do something of my own and experience some other things in my life. I would like to do something that i know i have the ability to choose to do it and not blindly following it through. I hate to do something without meaning, purpose or forever.
I prefer my life to be like a big storybook with plenty of different stories in it and not just one dull story. I want all my ideal stories to be compiled into my life story. I like the excitement, the hoping of who i will meet and the changes i will experience once i embark on a new story. Also at every story ended, i will turn back to look at the lessons i have learnt, the moments i cherished, the regrets and lastly the people i met. I dont want to look back only on my last minute on earth.
However no one can guarantee i will have the same idealism forever. Maybe one day i will find a story that i am very interested in and continue it till the end of my life.
