bar the cliche title, and that i just remembered its the url for val’s old blog.
before the inspiration runs out, there are a few things i want to blog about in relation to the above. the first of which is the utter wastefulness that is army.
now i know there are blog/conversationsoverlunch/randomoutings full worth of rants against the saf, but what i now find its utter wastefulness appalling (forgive the spelling). teck wee commented that my fellow male peeps (namely darren and daryl) are gainfuly employed by the saf. true ( or in dan’s words true dat!).but i do not doubt that like me, every day is a struggle to get one step closer to the weekend with every second that ticks away adding to the cynicsm that we have towards the army…daryl would easily give you a minithesis worth of reasons why ns is a waste of time, but don’t get him started. my point being. that there was a time when life meant so much more. where everyday we’d hate school, but go to school because of our friends and the prospect of learning and scoring and being driven towards the inevitible (A/O levels). now that all that is suddenly gone. there isn’t anything to bode us through the week but the weekend, and that just feels so incredibly wastefulwhen one considers that i’m about to do the same thing for the next, what 100 more weeks, where the agenda every day is to hope and pray to more closer to the weekend. i say we lengthen the weekend by a day or two to make the anticipation worth it. but i digress. again i suppose what i want to say is that NS is a complete waste of time, and the proof can be seen in every sane minded (to become insane) NSF and regular out there in their yearning for no greater purpose then the weekend. the argument is simple and emotional because i’ll let my very much more intellectual friends argue to nit and grit for me
next, i want to rant about icy tower. thats again, destroying and draining my life, but i can’t seem to get away from it. my eyesight is dying. thanks to my wretched psp, and long exposure to variouscomputer screens. but i can’t seem to get enough of icy tower because i can’t seem to reach the same levels of glory i did in the past when i hid in the debate room and played for hours…and i completed the game. HA! i used to own at it. clearly age takes away alot of fond ablities.
lastly, the lastest sales gimmick and absolute epitomy of the sinister and devious deceptive decrepid(am i even using the right word) example of capitalism…mcdonalds new monopoly ploy. i admit. i’m a sucker and had 3 mc donald meals in a row. i maintain i did not go out of my way to have them. but i am perhaps now more enlightened though no less in the hope of winning a prize.
by my very basic understanding of logic and problalities. everyone in singapore who eats macs and has a singaporean enough brain to peep at the tabs they give youis now waiting for the properties shenton way, scotts road, orchard road, joo chiat road, toa payoh, thompson road, tanjong rhu and of course…sentosa cove. you know what. they should have just printed duds and the above mentioned cards and not deceive people into thinking that it was that easy to win. well too bad mr mac donalds corp. i have uncovered your devious ploy and am now on my not so famous blog telling everyone about it, because it is a highly deceptive thing to do and morally wrong, for lack of a better phrase, and you should not be deceviing people into wasting so much money on a product that has false gurantees and is fundamentally bad for your health.
so please, if you happen to have an extra value meal and get the above mentioned tabs, give them to me! and we can work out a way to share the prizes.
=)
