Wasted Day... :(

hmm... im being very direct in my entry title liao... today is really a wasted day... read on n u will find out y... btw... i juz finished writing a testimonial for Set... plannin to write for other pple as well... but juz do this for tonite so tt i hav smth to hand in to beng beng tml... ok... now for the account of this extremely SIAN day... pls pardon my language at some parts... im really pissed... thx... anyway... im supposed to do some Vocational Assessment at Sembawang Naval Base... *backgrnd info*
1) reported at Admiralty MRT station at 7.20am... ok... im early... reportin time was supposed to be 7.30am... dint hav any trouble findin the gatherin place... since a whole lot of guys were there... (abt 50)... n i started searchin for familiar faces... ok... found some... at least not tt bad after all...
2) after an extremely disorganised attendance takin... we proceeded on wif our first activity of the day... STONE!!!... guess wad... we were there zuo boin all the way till abt 8.15am... dotz... while the Navy officers juz stood there n chatted n chatted... den only after some lady came... den they started to organise us a bit... split us into 2 grps... Grp A n Grp B... i was posted to grp A... wished i was in Grp B... ltr i will explain y... but after even more delay... we finally boarded the bus to the naval base...
3) reached the naval base... followed our guide all the way thru the camp buildings... which looked quite old anyway... to the medical rm... ok... first test was the eyesight test... n we were to know ltr tt this was the DETERMINING test which will decide whether u become a naval diver or not... which was wad we were supposed to be "assessed" for... ok... i failed terribly... they wanted perfect or near-perfect eyesight... so tt concludes my assessment proper... since i cant possibly be in the diving unit liao... but no... after sievin out those whom they wanted... they made the rest of us stone in the extremely cold medical rm... for 3 hrs... *btw... stonin times there were measured in hrs... tt's the SAF unit of measurin stonin time*... which in the meantime they tried to entertain us, or rather, themselves by turnin on the tv which showed double images all the time... lookin at it further only makes u dizzy... so i jolly well slept... :(
4) after wad seemed like eternity... the pple selected ( 6 out of 30 ) completed their medical screenin... n we were ushered off into this diving chamber after lunch... n here begins another abt 1 hr of stonin... while the selected pple did their chamber dive... which dint involve water anyway... dun noe y... dint ask them... since its none of my business anyway... spent time sleepin again... n the guide actually told us this:" erm... guys... if u all hav any nite activities, pls cancel them... cos u all will be stayin till abt 8 or 9"... dotz!!!... tt late... the unimaginable hrs more tt i must spend stonin totally pissed me off... but well... im in a military camp now... n i cant juz run away... so i waited n waited n waited n waited n waited n waited n waited n waited...
5) when the 6 pple had actually finished their dive... we moved off to a classrm... where 3 hrs long of survey n tests await us... ok... finally smth to get involved in... but wait... the questionnaire seems very familiar leh... OMG... its the same test as the one PSC gave us for the psychometric analysis test!!!... now i noe y its the "GOVERNMENT"... resources must be pooled neh... so naturally... i finished the test quite ahead of time... n our invigilator (not the guide) actually spent the time readin her book now... ok... shall not comment... but finishin early = more time spent stoning... so tt adds another erm... 45 min of stonin to my list???...
6) after this... went off for some physical fitness test... which was quite meaningless actually... considerin tt we wont be selected for the diving unit at all... but nevertheless... did my pull-up, standing broad jump n a swimmin segment... which finally made the bringin of our swimmin trunks a bit more justifiable... this was done quite fast... one of the more efficient segments...
7) after dinner... went back to the classrm to await our interview... again, its another meaningless segment... but nvm... it was the "BEST" interview i've ever seen... mine ended in 3 min... qns asked were: "wad sch do u study in??? wad's ur NAPFA result??? wad past medical history??? any financial problems???"... n to end off nicely... my interviewer asked me:" do u hav any qns to ask me???"... n i juz gave him a clean "no"... n i was dismissed... dotz... den went back to the holding rm... tt was abt 6.15pm... some pple only had one qn... but every1 ended in like less than 5 min... guess they r not really interested in us anyway... nvm... ok... official stonin session begins... stone n stone n stone n stone n stone n stone n stone... all the way till 8pm... wad happened to the promise tt if we finished earlier... we can go off earlier???... n to tink tt the Navy officer actually told us:" do ur things chop chop... n u can go off early..."... hey... look who's not "chop chop" lah... its not us lor... anyway... after repeated moanings by every1... n even more stonin n slpin... the time finally came for us to go home... HOORAY!!!... but frankly... i dun noe how i managed to spend so much time stoning w/o goin crazy... :(
so... for those of u who hav received such a letter askin u to report to the naval base... n u r wearin specs... pls heed my advice: bring 1 ton of any hmwk u can find n MUG there!!!... n i mean it... unless u want an experience like mine... n for those who dint receive such a letter... CONGRATS!!! u hav been spared frm wastin ur time!!!... pls giv a MILLION thx to God if u r not chosen to go for this assessment!!!... of course... this applies only to those who wear specs... n dun hav perfect or near perfect eyesight... :)
P.S: sorry for my sarcastic language... but im REALLY REALLY SUPER PISSED!!!
