I am on leave tomorrow. Nope. I am not going for an overseas trip nor having a mental break for my mind. Taking leave tomorrow for the sole purpose of going back to my camp to answer a charge that SAF had brought upon me.
I am charged under Section 109 of The Singapore Armed Forces Act (Cap 295) for Absence Without Official Leave(AWOL). The reason for being AWOL? I had forgotten to take my IPPT test this year. The thing that piss me off is that they didn't send a reminder for me to take my IPPT. See, I am new to this reservist shit. All I know is that I had tried my very best during the 2 1/2 years I spent in the army and this is what I get in return? I know friends who had Chao Keng their way through army. They never had more outfield trainings than me and neither are them taking any stupid IPPT tests now. Seems like the reward for doing your best in the army is more shit work for you. In a modern age like this, I think they can at least have the decency to at least send me a sms on this. Unless all those army clerks are sleeping on their job which I think is what they are doing now. They are the one who have no need to train nor take IPPT test. Boy, I am seriously thinking of downgrading now. I got sinus, skin allergy to sand(I am in Armour which is a joke) and a torn ankle ligament due to an injury I got back in my army days. If some of my friends who can club till the dawn arrive are able to downgrade their Pes Status, I don't see any reasons why I can't. So screw you SAF. I had enough of your shit. I will be thinking ways to downgrade once I have the $$. Damn you.
I am pondering now if I should quit my job. Don't wanna complain too much but up till now I can't really see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am seeing most of my friends earn more than me and the irony part is that I need the money more than them. No offence to them but they are thinking of how to spend the money on gadgets which they like while I am thinking of how to pay for my car lessons(a Class 3 licence is essential for outdoor sales ppl which I don't have the privilege of asking my parents to pay for it), how to give more $$ to my mum and also saving up $$ to either study or starting a business. I am thinking of either trying out at Alson side or working hard on Looking Glass.
The problem with Looking Glass is a lack of funds. I thought of taking a loan with EZ Cash but problem is you need to be employed for 6 months or more before they will consider giving you a loan. I have only been working for 4 months. It always bother me that Kenn had great plans for Looking Glass but am unable to execute it due to lack of funds. I feel sorry that I can't help in this area. Now it is really in the hands of God(if there is one). I think we had kinda exhausted all avenues of funding(to be honest, Kenn did more of the work. Sorry abt that Bro) I will use tomorrow to think what should I do with my career. Call it quits now or endure till end of the year.
Lastly, this goes out to someone who is starting on her new job tomorrow. All the best to you in your new job. I am sure you will do well and achieve your dreams and love one day. Like what you say, A strong belief in the things you do will bring you a touching ending in the end. Cheers!!
You can take a picture of something you see. In the future where will I be?
