Hi Everyone,
its been such a long long time since i last blogged. How's life for me? Well, I have already finished my attachment at Charcoal and currently doing my attachment at Rosette. I will be having my practical examination next week, so pray for me yeah? =)
Other than attachment, I have also been involved in Church, NCC, and also spending quality time with my family & Cindy.
Yups. Anyway, a reply from me to the taggers on my tagboard
Raudah --> Hey, its been ages eh since i last saw you with Jia Hui. Hahas. Hope you're doing fine in your studies and of course your love life.
Solihin --> Hey, sorry for the late reply yeah. Haha. Glad to see you at Charcoal the other time too. Catch you soon!
Yups, so that's all for now.
So now, I am gonna blog about my encounter with a really extremely rude officer.
This was what happened:
Here I am, trying to catch up with my fellow friends to head over to the MPH to catch the Cohesion Nite performances. So while we were at the staircase talking to one another, a group of female Cadets came up.
Thinking that it was pretty normal as it was usual for people to book into camp during that period of time, we just continue to walk until I was interrupted.
Here goes the following conversation:
Unknown Boy: CADET CAPTAIN!
Me: *silent*
Unknown Boy: Do you need me to greet you first or do you greet me?
Me: *Assuming that he may be an Officer*, No Sir.
Unknown Officer: Which district are you from?
Me: East, Sir.
Unknown Officer: What's your name?
Me: Melvin, Sir.
Unknown Officer: Same name, what a disgrace!
After which, we continued on walking over to the MPH, but in my heart, i was feeling pretty bitter over this issue.
My first thoughts were:
1. Who was he to demand respect from me?
2. He wasn't even in his proper uniform for me to recognise that he's an officer.
3. He is rude.
4. He has no respect for people.
5. He's a loser.... a big one at that.
So after which, a few of my fellow friends also got into some problems with him over some bunking issues as well.
That was when we found out some additional information as well.
1. His name is Melvin.
2. He is a NCC Captain Teacher Officer of a really well known school, "Some Jumping Ice".
3. He was from the 31st CLT Course.
My conclusion and after thoughts?
Well, let bygones be bygones. It is not the first time I have come across rude and unruly people. Sometimes, i feel that they really ought to be slapped in the face for their actions. But then again, it tells me of their upbringing and how they live their life as well.
After all, humans are not perfect right? So well, another loser coming along my way shouldn't make my life miserable and difficult as they are just someone who has got nothing better to do than to look down at other people.
Peace out!
