Medical certificate seems to be long forgotten in me, but today, I got 2 days of it.
Initially I wanted to skip camp tomorrow by visiting the doctor due to minor sore throat, but by the time I seen the doctor at seven, my throat condition has worsened to that of infection, thanks to Sumatra for causing the haze. They might as well burn the whole of Indonesia.
I could visit the polyclinic because it's free for nsf, but having to take a bus there from home and queueing deterred me from going. Instead, I paid a whopping 45 bucks for a consultation at a private clinic in my neighbourhood. My friday is so expensive, to think I actually earned more than 55 bucks a day during Airebus' days. Now? 2 bucks an hour, plus more work to do.
Today's time at work passed by quickly, because I was outstation. I got to ride on SAF's mitsubishi lancer with a corporal whom I knew him today and a Malay driver, both of whom were from Nee Soon Camp. We worked, slacked, then work, then slacked from 10am to 4.15pm, before they sent me back to my camp.
Everytime I see the road sign pointing the direction "Yio Chu Kang Road/Jln Kayu," I have phobia because I really hate my camp mates. Most have no courtesy, officers do not reply when being greeted, and there were two commotions among 3 camp mates in my office for the past 2 days. I sat quietly at one corner, busying myself with work while my ears remained sharp at listening to what they were quarrelling over scheduling of duty roster.
I really pitied the guy who was being scolded by the other two camp mates. Firstly, for scheduling one of the camp mates a duty on Friday. Secondly, the other camp mate scolded him for asking whether a lady officer was present at work on a daily basis. I mean it's his duty to check on the attendance of staff every morning, so why scold him when he asked about that particular lady officer who was late almost everyday?
Others from my previous unit were envious of me getting a place at my present unit because there are less high-ranking officers (I thought so previously as well so I requested for a transfer) but now I discover it's a shitty place. I can't wait for another outstation duty with nsf from nee soon camp and I can't wait for some of them to ORD early next year.
I have been hallucinating too much. Hallucinate that the haze condition worsens till the camp is shut down. Hallucination leads to delusion, delusion leads to suffering.
Never in my whole life have I met such people. Uniquely Singaporeans!
