SERVING MY MOTHERLAND

First day of ICT is always a bore. This time round it was no different. Lecture after lecture, powerpoint slides after slides. I fell asleep, as usual... hehehe. The only thing to look forward to, besides booking out, is the much awaited breaks in-between lessons. Only then can I sneak out to take a pee or get something to munch on. Haha...

There were a few familiar faces this time round, partly because of the few people I've met the last time I attended ICT with these people. I also met ah cheng aka "g.c.b" (hurhurhur =P), my ex- sect comd from my active days and matthew my lao cheow from bcp! whose now working at SIA as a flight steward! How cool is that?!

Lucky this time round, there was no Exercise Steeple Chase. For the rest of you who don't have the slightest clue as to what the hell I'm blabbering about, neh mind. It's just some really stupid thing that requires us to stay in the sandbag bunkers 24/7 - baked to perfection under the hot stifling afternoon sun, and subjected to the elements of mother nature. *Gaahhh~*

Even the outdoor hunk has it hard sometimes...

RETURN OF THE KING

Ah... finally had the chance to see my blogspot in Singapore again. Really don't know why in China cannot even view websites with blogger extensions. Strange... but neh mind lah, now back in Singapore liao, can see all I want...

Signed up for my class 2A bike lesson yesterday and had my first practical lesson today. Haha... good thing only 3 lessons, then its TP. But I flunked today's lesson... couldn't get used to riding a bigger bike, somemore with a different posture than my phantom. Can't handle it well enough. Sigh... so tomorrow I'll be going back again... hope I'll do better this time round, cos I aim to get my license in a month or two's time...

Bad news is that I have to go back for reservist... starting this friday the 29th, all the way till 19th August... woah damn long huh... then its graduation ceremony on the 26th August... woo~ can't wait man... ORD loh!!!

4 WHEELS BAD 2 WHEELS GOOD

The recent case of the taxi driver intentionally driving the motorcyclist to his death sickens me. And to think he supposedly give a grin after he sent the poor fella and his pillion flying through the air. Now that IS really fucking sick to the core.

Regardless of what the reasons are for your dissatisfaction towards the motorcyclist, or for that matter whose fault is it, there is NO reason why anyone should turn against sanity and did what that taxi driver did, unless it confirms one thing; that human nature is inherently evil, something which I have long suspected. The "need" to assert authority and establish dominance in the face of challenge to this thing called the self-conceited pride some of us guys are guilty of at times, its a primal thing ain't it? Think the alpha-male among a bunch of apes. No way are we just gonna walk away without putting up a fight aren't we?

In this scenario, it really calls for rationality at the end of the day. You are just a 2 wheeler, and the other fella is a 4 wheeler encased in metal. You just gotta keep a cool head, even harder when you know this 4 wheeler is purposely getting on your nerves. BUT you have to do it. You have EVERYTHING to lose and NOTHING to gain. I jolly well know this more than anyone elso do. I've lost count the number of times these bloody 4 wheelers tried to run me off my lane, as if I have no right to be on the road. I deserve more than the scant respect (if any) they showed me.

Why do they have to drive so near me when they have acres of space beside them? Why do they need to tailgate me? Why do they have to cut into my lane just infront of me when they could have just drove further ahead and switched?

Like the hell I know?!
