mpo farewell bbq
Last night we had a farewell barbecue session at East Coast for our old boss Manpower Officer Major(NS) Leong. It was happy to see some old faces and of course not so happy to see some baskets faces. Somehow there were a few new faces that I have never seen, probably new members to the branch. New DyMPO, new RnD Spec, new Recruit Section Spec.
When Alex and I reached, there was this immediate pissing off feeling cum glad-to-see-you feeling. Glad to see people whom you have worked closely with, pissed off to see some stupid newbies saying naive things. Actually it was that guy called Chan, another stupid Hongkonger. I was trying to socialise with the newbie when he said something like "Who are you? Orh chao chee bye!" What the freak.... Who are you in the first place? I finished NS you also wasn't in the branch lor... Somehow I have this "play-old-bird" mentality, which may explain why I don't like Jason Tan. It is like you newbie come into the branch want to act like you are war veteran... how would the authentic old birds feel?
At least I feel glad that Recruit Section doesn't have any of those baskets. I feel very proud to have been part of the section, cos I always feel the Rect Sect is the most dynamic section in the Manpower Branch, able to really create miracles and etc.
Oopz, why am I babbling about my "glorious" past? Anyway they all damn bad, no one chatted with Haslan. The fact that he is the only non-Chinese in the branch means the more everyone should make him feel at home. But then he is finishing his NS soon, so nevermind. Caught up with Chief, she jokingly blamed me for not giving her sons tuition. Err.. I myself is drowning and you still want me to save someone?? Hmm Seong Per finally finished NS and is now in Mindef. Come to think of it, are Seong Per and Alex my understudies? Not that it matters anymore. One is a Master in Engineering, another is a Bachelor, how to be my understudies?
MPO gave Tan Chee Wei, Xiao Bai and me a lift. Somehow I always find it funny that as a person who doesn't know how to drive, I find myself always navigating for the driver... "from Paya Lebar Rd go PIE then CTE, no no no in front keep right..." Empty vessel...
