Perspectives

The queue for the bus into campus TODAY is the longest queue I have ever seen since I enrolled into varsity. Coming off the MRT at 8.10 this morning, I was stunned to see the "Great Wall of China" snaking all the way to a few metres away from the MRT's entrance. OH MAN! I'm certain if the Guiness World Records people were there, we would have gone into the record books for some long snaking queue category.
To all the 96 million readers from overseas, who have no idea how the Boon Lay bus interchange looks like and wants to know how long the freaking queue is, let's just say at a peak period from 8-8.30am this morning, The Great Wall of China was not the only snaking structure that you could see from the Moon. If you look through the freaking INDON SELFISHLY man-made haze and a little south near the equator, there's ANOTHER winding and irregular structure that seems to be moving. That's the bus-to-campus-queue.
Upon boarding the long-awaited bus, I found myself standing in front of 2 really chatty girls. REALLY CHATTY. With the ceiling of the SBS buses reaching new lows, I sort of had to bend my head as I stood at the BACK of the bus with all the seats taken. The awkward neck cortortion brought enough suffering. However, what the chatty girls said made the neckaches go away! ... cos honestly I felt more pissed than ache ...
The girls were obviously bitching about their guy friends, about some outing they had in a not too distant future. (obviously, I was evesdropping but it's hard not to when they are so close and talking so LOUDLY) The girls bitched that during their gathering with the guys friends who mostly enlisted not too long ago, the guys kept talking about "armee armee armee"(in their girly whiny tones). They complained thats the only topic the guys knew and I could sense their genuine IRRITATION with that... Honestly, I was praying at that moment that the Government would just endorse female national service and ship them off to TEKONG right AT THAT VERY SECOND. Cos, they were complaining and complaining since I board and alight the bus... Who knows how long they bitched....
Honestly, show some understanding "ladies". I assume since their guy friends just enlisted so all of them would have gone or are in tekong. so naturally FULL TIME NS boys would talk about NS! Just like how FULL TIME students like yourself would talk about School! Perhaps you might think this boys were getting a little too obsessed but imagine having a life of freedom and fun before being stripped down to the bare essentials, stripped of CHOICE, stripped of FREEDOM, living a life of regiment and strict discipline for 5 days a week IMMEDIATELY when they enlist. And most of all the young gentlemen are almost always cut out from the outside world,their friends and thrown in way out oftheir comfort zone. I personally found it fucked up and full of bull.
Those young gentlemen without choice start at a 2 year acadamic disadvantage to their female counterparts because of NS. For the next 2 years,their lives would possibly revolve around National Service NINTY PERCENT of the time. So obviously, their topics would generally BE ABOUT ARMY! DUH.
So tell me CHATTY girls, where in the world do you get the right to tell off and bitch about those fresh BMT boys? Do you not bitch about your homework load and poorer teachers too?
Show some understanding please.
