My 2nd Punishment

I've been irritated these past few days after not receiving money to pay for rental this month. To top it off... It's not just this month, but last as well (okay except for one who payed). I'm already 4 days late... And yet I still can't pay the landlord! Ah god, why do I always have to wait this long? I don't mind paying for one person first, but when 4 people don't pay, I can't even do a thing you understand? Urgh! I'm already busy with army, don't tell me you're more busy than me? Or is it coz no one bothers to check out their e-mails. Seriously, I must say, I can understand why people are irritated when one doesn't reply to SMSes. It's actually just a matter of making the effort for a few minutes. But it's probably the laziness seeping into everyone, now that it's holiday time. Even I myself have done it before... So I shan't blame anyone. But please, pay me!!!

Speaking about army, I just got myself into trouble. Nights off and stayout previlege has been taken off me for not booking in/out of camp... My 2nd punishment since the start of army. Not bad I must say in my own opinion. But argh... It's for a month. Plus we got to go back and work on the weekends as well. Isn't it as good as SOL (Stoppage of Leave)? I almost said that, but thank god I didn't... Or else my boss will start marking me. I bet they did this coz of the inspection that's coming up this month. They want us to work like slaves for them without giving us any off. How smart. Out of about 100 people, only 7 didn't commit the offence. As good as mass free labour, ain't it?

Perhaps I've been induced with too much of the drivers' mentality. I must say I don't really like drivers... But after working in the place for so long... I must say they do take the piss out of you at times when they get lazy, but other than that, they're a great bunch when it comes to helping one another. Okay, maybe not all... But at least, they are mostly humble. That's what I like about them. Perhaps army wasn't such a waste of my time after all. Made me realise the values that are important to me. I hope that's what you like about us, Crystal... About VS guys.

Another boss asked if I wanted him to speak on my behalf coz I'm good friends with him for a long time plus he knows I've only got one month of service left, and I only didn't sign out for a couple of days. How tempting isn't it? But I rejected... Bet M.O. and Crystal will call me a fool for this.

But nvm, I hope u all understand why.
