im a bookworm leh..cfm i will get bullied one Confused btw im a
malay..i not the mat mat type btw
don't worry lah....you're malay so most likely you'll be in
infantry unit where there's lots of other malays and your malay
kakis will buddy-buddy take care of you, since malays get along
with each other much better than the chinese do and are a lot less
likely to play politics.
like the other guy said, in army, avoid being any of the
following:
1) sabo king
2) politician (the more politics + backstabbing you do, the more
everyone, including specs and officers, will backstab you to
death)
3) over-garang king (ok to be hardworking, but don't overdo it too
much)
4) lazy bum (if you too lazy, you'll get screwed by everyone)
5) ah-kua (if you too girlish, you'll get bullied)
in army, try to have the following qualities:
1) be overly helpful and sacrifice yourself to help others ALL THE
WAY.....overdo this factor (this way, when you're down, everyone
will help you back, according to what i experienced)
2) be humble and very humble (the specs, your fellow mates and
officers love humility....if you're capable and too perfect,
they'll feel you're a threat to them)
3) be well-behaved, no need to smoke or act tough.
just be matured, calm and composed all the time (not the same as
acting cool), and even gangster camp mates will talk to you like a
warm acquittance.
in addition, accept that life in the army is unfair.
if you know how to play the strings well, it will be a
breeze.
like me, for example. i was on good terms with everyone from
recruit to Captain and even LT-COL, and when they see i need help,
they auto offer a hand even though i didn't say anything.
people who dunno how to play the game end up getting owned all the
time.
like for example, this guy who was targeted by the specs.
that time me and him were late for parade fall-in.
the specs see me pretend see nothing, but they see the other guy,
they shout at him like a dog and pump him, taunt him in front of
everyone.
still got a lot of stories like this.
that's all my tips for you.
right now, i'm going to bed with Hello Kitty and **** the s*** out
of her.
when you ORD, our kid will be 2 years old liao.
