double standards
i came across certain things in life as i grow up.
since young, i always thought, teachers are impartial, the education, military, government system are all fair.
but as i grow older,i realised, thats not the case, teachers can be bias towards students, officers may or may not like u, which makes a big difference in your life in the SAF.
take for example, in school, teachers tend to look down/give up on the normal technical students, im not stereotyping ALL, but most, even during my primary school days, i could feel the unhappiness in the teacher stepping into the class, trying to rush through the whole lesson without stopping, without helping the slower students, trying to pass that 1 hour of time and leave that dreadful class. and as a playful kid, who wouldnt love that kinda teacher? who doesnt bother about u as u play in class. and surprisingly, the teacher i hated the most, is the teacher i miss and respect the most. the teacher who comes into class, and finishing only a quarter of a lesson in an hour, due to the scolding, the disciplining and last but not least, the encouragement to pull through the PSLE. the extra lessons everyday after school until 5pm. these are the rare breed of teachers, thank you, mdm yazilah.
i guess i sidetrack-ed. lol. on the other hand, there are teachers, who jus come into class and treat some of us like crap, while others like angels, for instance, my JC chinese teacher, always favouring the cheena mamas, the quiet, the hardworking, while even when there are times when the naughty, hyperactive mr limahkow tries to listen, he gets scolded for no reason. HOW TO SAY I ALWAYS GET SCOLDED IN ANY, EVERY SINGLE WAY DURING MY SCHOOLING DAYS LEH?! but i have to say, my life in psch,sec sch, jc, are pretty much awesome.. like.....well.. your mum.
back to the topic, in the army, officers in BMT gets the higher advantage on who to go OCS and who doesnt, for example, lets say, i retained,which i did, and i met a friend who enlisted a year earlier, and he isnt good terms with me? den again, i have seen officers who told OCTs in bmt ( yeah i know, if u wanna know why theres OCTs in bmt, ask me) that all they have to do is clear their high key events, and poof! they are not in the top few percentage, thus, the termination of his contract, something i always hate to do, to tell a friend, that he failed.. den again, if u suck up to your officers, like most people do, ( im not saying names. haha. u shld noe who) even without much leadership skills, hes being chosen to go OCS, judging by some officers i have seen, its amazing to think how one with such caliber could enter OCS. furthermore, in almost every working environment, the testers, especially in the Air Grading Course, are sentient beings, who, ultimately, have the flaw of bias-ness.
so guys, u need to learn afew skills if u are awesomely poor, not literally.
1) suck up
2) public relations.
3) u need neither of the above if u can match woonshins biceps.
im done. lets just say, the past few days during new years eve, i was pretty much wasted from drinking. bad boy eh?
den again, i realised, i have no new year resolutions, what was i doing last.... oh.. right.. i know wad i was doing.. celebrating the holiday mood with Circle, and also.......wishing for something tat wasnt worth my time and effort.. damn. i waas blind. lol
den again, the epicness of building the gay-ess card ever for one of my pals, the epic colour, the epic writings, although the surprise failed due to woonshins lousy excuse tat we got caught while making such awesome present. haha.
anw.
so heres my resolution for now. FOR NOW.
1) train up for half iron man by 2012. ( if im still in sg)
2) play more rugby
3) learn how to mix more drinks
4) learn to be the old me instead of the xw me. ( need any clarifications, ask me
wads this)
5) convince myself its over.
HEAL ANKLE.. HEALLLLLLLLLLL....damn itafter all this time...
