[220807] Incompetencies

I think that the CD day parade is a total farce, the stand alone reason being that the rehearsals and personnel involved arent really interested nor deserving to be in the parade itself. First off, my compliments to the trainers for i think they really are putting their efforts in trying to make the parade a success despite having only less than a month and a half to train us.

The only problem therein lies in the fact that the participants are really of a different 'breed'. Sure, none of the personnel involved in Police Day or SAF day are willing participants but looking at some of the participants within some of the contingents is really depressing. Even the Guard of Honor which is supposedly to be the Crème de la Crème of the SCDF is depressingly non impressive. We're sloppy to say the least, incorrigible at our worst.

That said, let's move on to the parade commander. With the CD day being such a big deal and all, you'd think that he would have actually prepared for his role but NOoooo... he doesnt even know the commands yet... *slaps forehead* what kind of Parade Commander do we have here? & that's not all, to make matters worse, we have an equally incompetent Contingent commander who doesnt know when to turn, and what to shout. "Kawalan Kerhormatant, ke dalam lu-rus" became, "Kawalan Kerhormatant, ke kanan lu-rus"... "Jadikan tiga barisan" became "dengan tiga barisan".

With such displays, it will be a miracle if we'll be able to pull it off with 3 weeks to go... and that said, the conducting warrants were missing the entire rehearsal except for the very last run. Goodness, if i was the trainer, i'd probably be in the ICU by now.

The end of the 104th intake arrives at last, this intake was a breeze, time skipped by fast enough and come next intake, will see both the sergeants ORDing... 3 intakes down, 4 more to go... cant wait for my NS to end, hate my life in BRTC, cant stand the system, the CSM or the OC. waste of my 2 years. an utter waste.

Natasha Bedingfield - Soulmate

Incompatible, it don't matter though
'cos someone's bound to hear my cry
Speak out if you do
you're not easy to find

Is it possible Mr. Loveable
is already in my life?
right in front of me
or maybe you're in disguise

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
who knows how to love you without being told
somebody tell me why I'm on my own
if there's a soulmate for everyone

Here we are again, circles never end
how do I find the perfect fit
there's enough for everyone
but I'm still waiting in line

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
who knows how to love you without being told
somebody tell me why I'm on my own
if there's a soulmate for everyone

If there's a soulmate for everyone

Most relationships seem so transitory
They're all good but not the permanent one

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
who knows how to love you without being told
somebody tell me why I'm on my own
if there's a soulmate for everyone

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
who knows how to love you without being told
somebody tell me why I'm on my own
if there's a soulmate for everyone
If there's a soulmate for everyone

Incapable of sustaining anything remote to a decent conversation... What happens when a passive guy likes an equally passive gal? When passiveness disallows the chance of any sparks to fly or react. Or maybe it's just a case of unrequited affections. A one sided thing or maybe it could be just a fantasy dreamed up in one's thoughts of what could be, what might have been or what will be. Maybe she's just not interested. Does she even have a clue in the first place?
