Farewell for now...

I feel like lol. for once im using lol in the right context. for the uninformed/ignorant, lol stands for laugh out loud. in this case, to be grammatically correct, laughing out loud. no, i din jus hear a particularly funny joke( or maybe i did<----foreshadowing). frankly i duno why im feeling like lol. maybe its cos i think everythings a joke. in any case, as most singaporean males would know, we all have to register for NS, and they send a nice letter with instructions on how to register online. now whats stated in the letter, under Frequently asked Questions on National Service(NS) e-Registration, Question 7, answer 7, i will be granted deferment, 'you may be granted deferment only if you are 17 and a half years old at the date of commencement of the course. okay obviously i was younger than 17 at the beginning of the year. so by right i should be granted deferment. so i try to e-register(corny name isnt it) on Tuesday, the result being application error, and then i try again today, cos they sent a reminder letter -.- and the deadline is 21st which is abit the soon. what i get instead is this!

Dear Mr (censors my name in case govt comes looking for me =P)(ic numbers should not be disclosed, hence also censored),

Your application for deferment to pursue your GCE 'A' LEVEL course at RAFFLES JUNIOR COLLEGE is unsuccessful You may contact us at 1800-3676767 if you need further clarifications.

Meanwhile, please click on Continue to provide further information for your Pre-Enlistment Documentation and book for a medical examination date.


Okay....so i call the stupid hotline--1800-eNSNSNS. lol the stupid customer service woman wasnt much help. what i took back from the conversation with her is that my deferment is confirmed rejected ( something about expiry on 1st of march but wth i hadnt even got the letter then). wow like thats not obvious enough from the above message. and i need to go cpmb personally. with some school letter. honestly i havent much idea. Conclusion: Either THE SYSTEM is against me or i just did something wrong. if that were the case i would feel really dumb. lol the whole episode is kinda hilarious, in a crazy sort of way.

lol oh well. i suppose if the system continues to go against me i shall have to quit school and go NS *shock*. ok no just joking, the probability of that is...of negligible value. you can stop rejoicing/mourning now.

since the probability of me saying goodbye to rjc prematurely is negligible, you must be wondering about the connection to the title of this post! if ur not, start wondering.
lol ok im going KL tmr. for a vacation, sort of (at a really bad time). be back on Monday, specially for remedial. which reminds me of how screwed i am. havent done maths or econs stuff. actually i dun really know wads supposed to be done in the 1st place. but theres definitely something ><. it also reminds me of how badly screwed i am for cts. the vacation takes away an astonishing 3 days from The Last Week of the Holidays, Designated for Chionging Mugging and Attempts at Producing a Miracle. oh well. take each screwing as it comes. meanwhile, dont miss me too much =P.
