Naughty by Nature

A number of happenings so far.

Starting off with a comedy morning on Thursday.
Roll call had to be done on every working day besides Friday. ( Due to Area Inspection.)
In case one do not know,
it is a procedure whereby we NSFs have to line up accordingly so as to mark our attendance and also to take note of the latest updates being announced.
The person standing in front of the row right at the corner will have to start a counter and the person standing next to him will have to continue the sequence.
The opening IC facing all of the rest will have to give the commands and also check if the number of people present is correct.
A DXO is also there so as to disseminate information if there is any.
It so happens that Isaac Wong (Professor X of the mutants) was the Opening IC and Chong Kok Kin, the DXO.

Everyone had lined up in rows of 3 and awaiting for his command.
All of us know that he is just a born loser trying to do things right. Even if he did give a command, we wouldn't respond to him as though we do listen to him at all. We would carry out the procedures in our own pace and ignoring his presence.

He gave a command saying to stand still.
Yean was standing in front and he totally ignored Isaac and did some funny actions instead.
Isaac was very agitated when he saw this. He pointed his finger at Yean and told him to start over.

Speaking of Yean,
he is a loudspeaker kind of guy who is friendly and comical.
He is great at mimicking other people's actions.
And to be imitating another person closely, often their bad habits, is very funny to see.
He is also into physically trainings.
Most of the time, one can easily spot him inside the mess room carrying weights and doing strenuous exercises.
He is a big sized botak guy with a very tanned skin colour.
Seeing him in his regular workouts makes one think that he is the last person on earth anyone wants to mess around with.
He does alot of power training using heavy weights.
He exerts so much strength that you can practically see his veins coming out from his head. His eyes would be almost bulging out while he grinds his teeth and giving out a monstrous roar.

I wonder if he does that when he is dealing with a stubborn shit in his ass.

That was a very wrong move Isaac did.
Yean hates Isaac to the core and would do anything to spite him. He then transformed into another Isaac himself. He followed the way Isaac talked and also how he normally behaves.
Like a caveman,
but much more uncivilised.
Everyone laughed.
The whole room was filled with laughter and if I were Isaac at that moment...
I would have taken the nearest pen or pencil and stabbed myself real hard, hoping that it would cause death.
Chong Kok Kin couldn't control himself too. He laughed until his whole face turned red and gave us the signal to fall out, leaving Isaac behind standing there in a daze.
Stunned as to what had happened.
But I am sure he should be used to it by then.

Commander treated us to lunch that afternoon.
The new commander LTC Karen had been promoted to COL. We didn't care whether if she was promoted or not. We were only interested of the free food that was available to us. And I can say she did the right thing because I wouldn't have known about the news if I weren't at the scene.
There were lots of food catered for all of us to eat. By lunchtime, most of us have already gathered in the room and waiting to start. Commander arrived shortly and told us not to wait any further. She told us to help ourselves and sure we did.
The best part was...
It never exceeded 15 minutes and somebody had already spilled rice on the floor. It was Chong Kok Kin and he claimed that he was being pushed by Elias.
What a nice way to start off a celebration for commander's promotion.
A vacuum cleaner was being brought over to suck up the particles on the floor.
I thought I saw R2D2 from Star Wars at that moment.
It was only until I saw Elias using it then I realised it was a vacuum cleaner.
Sucking up all the rice was making the vacuum cleaner full.
I bet that's the best it has ever consumed speaking of food.
The owner of the vacuum cleaner would be shocked too, seeing the amount of rice it has collected over the past few weeks in dusty areas.
The food was not bad.
Ate till I needed to loosen my belt in case of difficulty in breathing.

Later in the afternoon, we went for a briefing regarding our camp duties.
We were given a declaration form to sign on.
The form says that the bearer knows his responsibilities as a duty personnel and that he has no excuse if anything were to go wrong.
Come on now.
What is new in SAF?
People just want to make sure that responsibilities are being taken,
so that they themselves have lesser to deal with.
Bastards.
Luckily I am quite a pro in pushing away these.
Have being learning Tai-Chi for some time already.
When there are situations whereby I have to deal and that they are being passed to me by others...
I, too would do the same by executing strokes of Tai-Chi.
Slow and steady, pushing them to the others unawared around me,
with my palms wide open and my arms stretched.
