ICH HASSE SCHEISSARBEIT!

Cannot tahan all the sai kang which is raining on me sia...raining on me and Melvyn, in fact...more so for Mel than me of course, because the S1 (Manpower Officer) is rapidly becoming his best friend and so has taken to heaping loads and loads of sai kang upon him...and it also so happens that this week was the week where the battalion was totally preoccupied with the opening of the new Officers' Mess...so naturally we all were slogging away in the Mess for quite a few days even until the late hours...yes, officers (including the CO...goodness) doing tasks like mopping and sweeping, scrubbing glass windows, washing beer mugs, and so on and so forth. Kinda reminiscent of cadet days huh...hahaha...okay lah let's not be bitter about anything here...

...because there's something to be bitter about here. The mess opening was today, as i mentioned above...and it's kinda appalling how senior officers are totally oblivious to the existence of us junior officers! Yes, we want to go out. Yes, this is our Officers' Mess. Yes, we're responsible for it. Yes, we did organise this whole opening. And finally, yes, you all do need your enjoyment. It's not easy being a senior commander. In fact, it's not easy being in command of anything at all. When others simply left early...those fuckers...aiyah, but they just slipped away like that and we didn't even know they disappeared until way later...then the senior commanders were just playing pool, watching TV, singing on the karaoke...S1 said no one leaves until they leave...so we were like...well...that is all and good but you people have to leave first and so please, sir, please do evacuate the mess now...Luckily he relented at the end. I feel better about staying to help than just disappearing. Those pricks...don't even know what's important and where their responsibilities lie...

And to you...haha...if you want to know what my friend allegedly sent you...i'll tell you in private ya.

And why did Bilder von Dir have to come on now? Sigh...i stare dreamily into the night sky, the music enveloping me...and wonder if you are seeing the same stars as i do...or if you are already wandering the Dreamtime? Lass es. Dingen haben ihren eigenen Fluss...

Bilder von Dir überdauern bis in alle Zeit...
Bilder von Dir überdauern bis in die Ewigkeit...


Pictures of you will last for all time. Pictures of you will last for an eternity. Well, at least upstairs in my brain la...
