going on another exercise tomorrow. ends on friday. then after dat i'll be doing ops duty so i wont be back till sunday.
when i take my second-last driving lesson (i hope) and hafta fetch my mum back from the airport.
saw two medics fighting today. ok, it was more like one guy threatening to hit the other, but in the end nothing much happened, i guess. was damn stunned. i mean, i never expected them to be so violent.
reminds me of sec 1, when i was like... bullied? by this guy once. was in tears man. i think That was the incident that prompted me to get fit. or at least look fit. (like i do now haha) guess its about... preventive action. its like u have that "come de zui me, i dare u to, im not f***ing afraid of u" look, people dont dare to bully u? appear nice, but 'show your power' sometimes. subtly.
haha dat sounds like its coming from some beng rite? perhaps if i wasnt born into this nice family of mine i'll be out slugging in the streets. and enjoying it. perhaps dat is y i like having friends who've been there and done that too. like this guy who's been to jail before. and have learnt from it.
but i guess to most people i jus appear as this nice guy who wouldnt kill a fly huh? heh. upbringing lah. i mean, after all, i Am a nice guy who normally wouldnt kill a fly. if it doesnt bother me excessively. (wouldnt want to dirty my hands too.)
haha ok enough of rambling thoughts. u know, sometimes i jus feel like im too mature for my age. so many things have happened... that shouldnt have happened to an innocent 20-year-old guy. sometimes i wish i could really be as innocent as i look. as cheerful as i look. as couldnt-care-less-about-the-world as i look.
ah, well.

so i've just got back from a day's duty at the medical centre.
horrible day it was.
3 resuscitation cases (ie casualties needed immediate help and had to be subjected to various tortures like having an anal probe inserted up their a**es) of which yeah i did the inserting. oh it takes the temperature there, which is more accurate than ur oral temperature, in case u didnt know. and yes, i Did see the various sizes of male sexual organs as i, together with another medic, did the stripping of the casualties. haha cant resist saying this, but im proud of myself. heh. haha.
Anyways. the point was, 2 resus cases came in the night. 10 and 12+, in fact.
which was not all. assorted cases brought in meant that i had to take two-hourly parameters of the patients. ie i had to wake up (and wake the patients up) every two hours jus to take their temperature, BP, pulse and respiration rates. dat started from 12+ all the way till 7am. and since there were SEVEN patients (the sickbay was COMPLETELY filled) by the time i finished taking all their parameters i got to sleep for an hour before the next parameter taking.
which means i slept for a total of 4 hours last night. fitful sleep. not the kind u'd wanna get, actually.
and i got no official rest today other than an hour early off work (for which i really thanks the MO, but actually made not much difference as it was spent on travelling). so basically i sleptwalked through the whole day, dispensing medicine to patients who came to report sick. (but at least i know i didnt dispense any drugs wrongly, 5 weeks spent there aint for nothing)
And after all dat work, i took my final theory test! cant say whether im gonna pass (everytime i say im gonna score i dun) but yeah! was still alert enough to take it. with the help of coke that is. caffeine and glucose= lethal combination.
and im not really dat tired now too!
but still. it was a truly horrible day.
and to think of it. i have duty again this friday. And next tuesday. And next friday. ok friday im not so worried 'cause most people would jus wanna go home and not stay in the sickbay *fingers crossed* but next tues... gosh im dreading it already...

have decided to write something totally irrelevant.
i think the hair on our heads are there for a purpose. the longer the hair, the better the rate of heat dissipation and thus the better the functioning of the brain. why else would there be such extraordinary long hair on our heads, as compared to the rest of the body? i mean, we are the results of thousands of years of evolution and im sure if it didnt serve a purpose it'd had to be gone like a few hundred years right? or at least reduced to more proportionate... oh well proportions. by dat i mean yeah those pitifully thin threads we have on the rest of us.
so yeah, i think their purpose Is to make better economic use of our brainpower. 'cause yah. we need cool minds to think. esp when we're stressed. (and dat's y we sweat more when we're afraid).
and So, i've also come to the conclusion that it IS a ploy by the SAF to shave (almost) all hair off recruits. yeah to disallow the privilege of thinking to them. another evidence in point : after bmt, only sideburns and hair nearest the neck (and ears) have to be shaved off. for the sake of neatness? i don't think so. its more likely 'cause they're situated near our brain stem, where everything's already been pre-programmed into our bodies (ie automatic stuff like the need to eat and sleep) and basically we don't need to utilise it that often. so we can Still think.
unlike recruits.
and oh i think the reason y women with long hair are more attractive is their... extensive knowledge regarding the art of making up. they have the extra advantage of their hair to better think, and thus attract men. and oh jus for the fun of it i think blonde hair's more effective than black-coloured hair in dissipating heat. somehow.
i like smart women.
haha

oh im going on deployment on monday. this exercise dats gonna last for 5 days, meaning i'll be out somewhere in the jungles(?) of singapore, wont be able to bathe and all dat.
lets see how its gonna be like.
anyways. dun know y i've been feeling quite down recently. well not really down, more... tensed up, i guess. more prone to sudden outbursts of anger.
perhaps its me thinking hey, you're not doing wat u want with ur life rite now. ur unit isnt letting u do dat. wat u've planned to accomplish hasnt been done.
in pamela's words, 'wat has army done to my kor'? (but oh i've finished my course long ago :P)
wat has army done to me???
