I am on half day work today. Had to report back to camp in the afternoon for some activity which i had no idea what until i was there. And guess what. The army activated a whole battalion of working adults just for this F$%king task. I'll get to what we have to do later on. Now just for your knowledge if u have no idea how many ppl are in a battalion.
7 soldiers = 1 section
4 sections = 1 platoon (have to include 1 platoon seargeant)
3-4 platoons = 1 company (have to include 1 officer commanding, 4 platoon commanders, a few runners, storemens, a few medics)
4-6 companies = 1 battalion
That;s a lot of ppl-who-got-much-better-things-to-do-then-to-get-involve-in-your-silly-games. Ok now comes the part where i tell u why i have to report to camp. Drum roll........................ We are back in camp to listen to young freaking NS punks telling us how to exercise well so that we can pass our annual IPPT. They are supposed to teach us how we can keep ourselves physically fit during our daily normal routine lives!!!!! Ok the reason is because the passing rate of IPPT for our unit is like 41-43%. What do u expect from a unit with lots of ppl who are certified not physically fit to take the test? Add to that uncles from age ranging from 30 to late 30s??? So today;s session is to make us more aware that it is our duty to pass the IPPT, so that the top brass can show a nice report card to the next top brass above him...
And to cap off the session, we have to jog 1 big round around the camp before we go home............ Speechless!!!!!!!! Best part, just when all of us are about to start the jog, the mother-of-all-rain came pouring down.. Blessing in disguise... So u see, hundreds of people are activated for half a day to be involved in doing something sooo mundane, even worse than my own mundane daily life. Oh, and i guess the money comes from tax payers' for this activation. YAy!!!! i paid myself to be activated.. hahaha... I LOVE u SAF!!!!
Nice isn't it? being uniquely unusual is one thing, but this comes with elegance and simplicity in a chaotic kind of way is refreshing. I like the concept too.. Sunlight can be shone onto more areas due to the way the building was designed to offset the various irregular shaped floors. This design also allows more open terrance in this way. I like...
