Today, i went for my ord ffi (juz a check-up to certify u left the army fit so u can't blame saf later haha). Got quite pissed over it... i forgot how inefficient and retarded the organisation can get at times.. I wasn't sure wat time my dental was, so played safe and arrived in camp ard 9.. I registered and was told they only see ord personnel after 1030. fine by me, so i scooted off to find some of my army buddies still serving (heheheh) and returned at 1030. my dental check-up was quick, abt 2 mins? afterwhichi collected some cert. and headed over to medical department. to my astonishment, the medic tells me they only see ord personnel after 230!!!! wtf man! dats freaking 4hrs later la.. how spastic can they get... first and foremost.. my 1030am appt was allocated.. i didn't choose dat time. infact the date of my check-up was also decided for me. So who in the right mind wud set the two departments time slot for ord ffi so different, knowing that both wud be done one after the other. so infruriating! thankfully i'm not studying or working yet... wud have been more pissed if they were wasting precious time.
anyways, it was time for a contigency plan. I initially planned to head down to queensway shopping centre after the check-up to do some shoe shopping, but with the stupid arrangement decided to do it during the 4hrs. fortunately, managed to even get a lunch date with my cousin, kaiwen. i guess the lure of swedish meatballs at ikea is juz too strong! haha they were indeed delicious! been yrs since i ate them.. didn't manage to find any shoes of my liking tho.. this is becoming a serious prob! i really need a new pair.. i'm over using my only pair now! not gd.. not gd at all! i did get other stuff tho.. haha.. 2 tees and a pair of street soccer shoes. my very first pair infact! abt time i got the soccer shoes... been creating holes in my BATAs and track shoes all my life!
after sending kaiwen home, i reached the medical centre ard 3pm. registered and proceeded to wait for my queue no to be called. nearly 45 mins later, the medic calls me. sounding very apologetic, he said,' i'm sorry. ur form was supposed to be processed. but it was juz left on a table and the doc has to leave soon. could u come back another day?' another day?!?! i freaking blew my top la! first it was the 4hr wait, now u're asking me to come back another day? wtf. no way josé! so i got my way and did the usual height/weight, blood pressure (which was higher due to certain circumstances haha) , urine and eyesight tests before seeing the doc. I enter his room and he only asks me one single question. 'Any tatoos or scars?' the answer was no, and i left. wth man. if it was this simple and fast, y ask me to come another day? can't imagine how pissed i'll be if i had returned another day for a 10min check-up!
