Army daze... - 10:52 PM
A few things brought me to remember about army. Yes, to many guys, thats quite a dreaded word. To many gals, they never will understand why its a dread to us. When we ask them to go try, they would say, you try giving birth to a baby. Well, what can we say? We can give birth, neither we can escape army unless there's something wrong with us. Bottom line: guys, we dun have a choice.So lets get on with it, in fact I kinda appreciate army. Not that I love it and would volunteer for it, I kinda had a mentality of, since theres no choice, might as well live with it. And so thats the start of it, army start to change my life. I became more mature in some ways, and childish in some ways. In army I used to jump on the bed, a few daes back I jump on the chair while singing KTV.
I became to accept things for the way they are, even if something bad fall on me. I try to shake it off, if can't I just suck thumb and do it. Thats life in army, thats life in office. Both places, they call these things "sai kang" aka shitty jobs or arrows. Depends on how you end up with the job.
In army I learn to be smart and quick witted when asked questions and given short time to answer. This saved me more push ups. Now in office, I think quick on the feet, to save me troubles on my eyes and on my legs. Of course sometimes you have to act stupid or blur, that way you live better and safer. The wise saying goes" Act blur, take cover, nver be a voluteer!"
Oh and never assume, especially in office. Alway back yourself up with emails, documents and facts. In army, they say "assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups." Pardon my language. After all, if you think, then I thought, then who confirm?
Thats why I never delete any of my mails. Thus they call me a dustbin. Poor me. AHaha.
So army is full of shit, work is full of shit. Always look on the bright side of life. Always try to find light out of a pile of shit. Shi Xing, endure for 2 weeks? Your freedom will be back after that!
