Army Boo Boo

Guys, if you have a reservist recall, please call up your unit or check with your friends a couple of days before you report to your camp/unit.

KNN.

Angry.

I just reported to Maju camp this afternoon for a supposed half-day detachment IC briefing, then got there and there was a crowd of other NSmen only to find out that the location was changed to Jurong camp! Grrr...

Then after spending another 20mins getting to Jurong camp, they realised they made ANOTHER mistake. People like myself were the advanced party, not detachment IC! Like what the !@$#S&^*%A@#%$^(#F$@^%& is going on man!

Cannot even have the courtesy to cancel our online call up meh! SMS me so many times and email me so many times for flying fuck!?! Argh. Angry.

So now I'm back home after an hour's MRT ride from Boon Lay ranting away.

The only good thing to come out of all this is that during reservist callup, you never fail to make more new friends. In our distress, a few of us who got to Maju camp early only to realise the army's mistake actually hitched a ride with one nice guy from a different unit. I think his name was Amin. A teacher at Yew Tee Pri Sch, really nice guy, offered us a ride. So there was nothing much 4 grown-up strangers could do in a tiny Hyundai Matrix other than to get to know each other.

This other guy works at IT, and another guy(I totally can't remember names) works as a shipping analyst. At least it makes you feel like an all-Singaporean macho soldier all over again when the only thing we have in common was the complaints about the lousy army call-up system. We bitched about the army, then bitched about the 2.2months bonus civil servants would get, and then bitched about working in the private sector, and then bitched about how expensive cars were in Singapore.

And now you know why there's racial harmony in Singapore. There's always something that we all have in common to bitch about!

Ha.
