Die Lautstärkern | Super-Wochenende | Integrität

Hallo ihr alle da draussend, finally i'm writing you at the end of a wonderful long long weekend...Got so much done even if the folks weren't home. Haha...went bowling again on Sat with the boys...wow...140 average liao...it's on the rise ladies and gentlemen so watch it man...ahaha...When i get back from Thailand, it's X-Factor Ace time man...no joke...hope the colours don't look too gross. They looked gross on the Storm website... urgh, right? Cherry/Royal/Lime and i heard it smells like chewing tobacco...yuck, but i think it's a good ball...so far its had a lot of good press and i'm looking forward to bowling johnny-style...which is deep angle...with a vicious snap into the pocket, that is. Pray man. pray that i can control my ball. My Scout has like tons of revs lor... Look on the lanes at Victor's. Wah. Violent man. hahaha...

Finally went pubbing with the boys too. Talked about the future, talked about life, talked about women and our lives...It's good but not enuff people to pub with la...3...i know we ARE the prodigies but prodigies cannot be anti-social...its already the 21st century, GUYS! Ok...haha...

Then I got my speakers yesterday too...Just installed them and they're UP!!! Woah. No joke, man. Playing Für Alle by Laith Al-Deen was damn up la...turned my room into a room of sound and light...Because sunlight was streaming in the window after the rain...Wah never got that effect in my room for so long le because it's like normally some DJ will come in after an absolutely marvellous song and spoil it all. grrr. But late nights i like DJs because they keep you company while the world stirs in slumber...

So contradictory huh?

The last entry is about something which pisses me off, the so-called 'course identity.' I thought course identity meant that we did things together, went through the good and the bad together, and become brothers-in-arms. Sounds pretty much like bollocks now because...the dark side of human nature has begun to rear its ugly, ugly head. So much for integrity, when the good times come it's just me-me-me and when the tough times hit everyone's looking suddenly for a brother. Nonsense. What the officers say about FAOCC is total bollocks because i don't believe we are a course anymore. Administratively, yes, 43rd FAOCC. In spirit, i doubt it seriously. My syndicate would still rather be called FATA X-Ray than FATA Syndicate 1. What a dumb name, IMHO...there's absolutely no identification with the course at all. But i guess then again, it shouldn't be so surprising. We already know we're in the 24th Battalion, Singapore Artillery. The others are still under the proud banner of the School.

Even instructors sometimes don't acknowledge our prescence. Always when all of us are called to a "course-level brief" where only FA and Liaison cadets are addressed. Have you ever spared a thought for the 9 of us? We are a vastly outnumbered minority. But if we're not needed please tell us. Acknowledge our prescence instead of thinking we were invisible.

Bleargh. Will nichts mehr davon reden...
