Real Work In NSSC

Morning, the parade was cut off unceremoniously by Warrant Micheal, "Today I no mood."

Later, the four of us, the Sai Kang Warrior, armed ourselves with a red pail, about 1 litre of tap water from the first floor toilet which the Singapore government claim that it can be drunk like the water we drink everyday, 2 new pieces of cloth, red and blue I think, a nice comfortable chair from the Customer Service Front Desk and last of all, the almighty clean-all Mama Lemon.

Together, Rui Xiang and I fought bravely against the windows and metal rail of the bottom part of the front door of the NSSC building while Jason galantly took hold of the upper part and tamed the NSSC metal plaque under his might while Joel charged in to the rescue to Jason by offering him steadfast support from the battlement.

After rescuing NSSC from hedious bugs, fluffy cobwebs and not-glittering-dust, Rui Xiang and I resumed our common identity: recruits under the liablility of National Service of Singapore posted to NSSC's processing's deferment department as clerks.

We continued our unfinished business of yesterday: search for the missing pieces of restricted documents out of a sea of lousy paper files that could cause a tsunami if they are not being kept watch within a dam labelled Deferment. It was fun. At least more entertaing then staring at no where.

Then in came the tremor: counting the number of working days taken for the case to close, quite a lot of them exceed 14 working days, meaning lack of efficiency. Next we were hit by an earthquake of measuring up to 8.5 on the Richter scale: counter checking with the data base via the computers and now I can appreciate why people keep telling us hope not to be under deferment.

From just one piece of the list I had the opportunity to learn a lot of things because there were so many discrepancies between the system's record and the hard copies. Missing hard copies, unclosed cases, weird dating and worse of all, uncomfirmed missing cases. In the end nothing much was cleared but half.

Guess I should anticipate with something more mentally thrilling since there are five steps to process deferment cases, if I remember correctly what Peter said, who was the tormentor and the tormented just because of those pieces of paper we had, created by the devil himself.

Went to Funan IT Mall after knocked off. Had a pleasure walk. Eyed on the Kensington's PilotMouse Mini Wireless. May be getting it tomorrow.
