| Unfair |

life's not fair, ain't that right? alot of 'aftermath' feelings after yesterday. posting for my boy came out, and it wasn't what he expected, it wasn't what all his friends and sergeants expected. disappointment.
why does one do his best, and try so hard when it all comes down to nothing? i've been taught that whatever happens in life, has a reason. i know whatever happens in life has a reason, but what is the rationale? where is the reason?
i'm oblivious to the disappointment my baby feels, for one, i dunno what goes on in the army. but i do know golds after golds of IPPT means something. passing of SOC after SOC means something more. good behaviour and a good personality also means something. but why something totally estranged from him to be his specialisation? why suppress one's talent when you jolly well know he's more than capable?
i wonder, how does the army group soldiers into their respective units? issit the stupid IQ test right from the start even before their enlistment? pure stupidity. i foresee the downfall of this country if disaster strikes. those from OCS are just a bunch of A-level students and a handful of poly grads who know nuts about commanding a regiment! in fact, those from SISPEC would make a better leader if you ask me.
unlike the olden days where physique makes hell lot of a difference, unlike the times of my daddy where brains and brawns make it to OCS. if disaster strikes, without those old retired soldiers, this country will never make it alive. my daddy was a Captain in the army in case you're wondering. and he made it there with his capabilities. he still has that sword that was knighted by the first president of singapore, Yusof bin Ishak.
unfair. life is never fair. but at least i know God is just.
