the one about random army thoughts

I heard somewhere that army life isn't as tough as it used to be. Hm, I wonder how. With all the running, pull-uping, jumping, pumping and humping, I guess it would be like Survivor. Throw in a few bitchings (who says guys don't bitch?) and a few green uniforms, it would be like 'The Officer: Survivor in Uniforms'..Think 'The Apprentice: Survivor in Suits'.

The atmosphere will be so tense everyday, and everyone would be competing with everyone else to distinguish from the normal crowd, to curry flavour the platoon commander, or captain or whatever rank above the 'newbie' rank. And then the Platoon leader guy would say something like, "Welcome to the 5th week of your 9 week BMT!" with a grin and a hint of sadism. Just like how Trump would say to those apprentice wannabes, "Welcome to the 15th week of your 16th week job interview!" with no smile on his face whatsoever and his hair blowing in the wind.

Then one by one every week, one suay recruit would be made an example out of, and will prolly be made to do stupid things such as _____________ (ok, I will fill this in when I enlist in Jan, k?). Hmm, on the bright side, army does give you chances to do stuff you don't usually do. For example, you can finally update your TMD vulgarities list, or your personal dirty joke compilation: Best of the 18 years..

Hey, I can even become the emo-punk I always "yearned" to be...bad boy crew cut and black, emo framed plastic glasses. *squeals in delight, clapping hands in a bimbotic/irritating manner* "I'm sHo eMoZ lORs..C mY eMo sPec aNd mY eDiSoN-cHeN-liKE cRew CuTs. I wIll lOOks sOoo eMo nOW wHen I sINg uNtiTled bY sImpLe pLAnz! iSh tHerRE nO onE eLSe nORH?"

Come to think of it, army wouldn't be so bad if:
1)There is more than 1 pillow per bed.
2)You can choose what you want for lunch.
3)Your PC can really be your father, your mother, your sister and your brother, with no sacarsm whatsoever.
4)There is internet connection.
5)You can wake up at 830am.
6)There is television in every bunk. (with DVD would be good)
7)You live near the camp.
8)You can actually get voted off the island. (Survivor Tekong - The platoon has spoken)

Ok, so I've run out of ideas. But hey, it's just 1 year 10 months! Just look at junior college..2 years. Bam! Gone like that. I believe army would be gone in an instant. As the saying goes, time passes real fast when you're enjoying yourself! Ok, now back to study.

I'm kinda looking forward to it. Good chance to slim down. Haha. Darth, no it won't happen. Just hope for further reduction in NS, say 1 year?

Le raine, nice name. Has a pretty ring to it.

It damn well could, I reckon. But thanks anyway, and yeah, you got it right. Which is pretty much.. rare.

How do I address you, anyway?
