[240209] my 300th post

it's been a long time since i blogged and it boils down to a couple of reasons: there wasnt any motivation to blog, i was lazy, nothing interesting happened that allowed me to post, i was lazy, i had writer's block, i was lazy, i wasnt in singapore (internet access) for half of last month, i was lazy. You get the picture.

Just when I thought i had left my national slavery days behind me, a 'ON GAH MEN SERVICE' letter appeared, ordering me to report for a routine reporting exercise on the 18th of March. !*&^$#%$%$%^$%^$%@ This is when murphy's laws is at its truest. My march roster had 17 days which i was either on off or on standbys. Guess which day my routine reporting exercise fell on? Yep, it fell on one of the days which i was due on flight and that's not the only thing, of the 5 flights which i had, it HAD to fall on my longest flight. Yep, damian peh is the walking epitome of murphy's laws.

Besides all the trouble it has cost me thus far, my cancelled flight has now been replaced with 5 days of standby and 5 days of off which means effectively for next month, im eating grass and drinking air with the loss of income, and that's not even the best part yet, all of this trouble just because they want us to report for TWO miserable hours.
see, we're not really free, never have been... we're, i meant im still chained and enslaved.

300th post in 40 months.
