"Hello people, I would like to share my PES F story. Before I start, here is to the people who say people who chao keng are pussies, hum ji, ball-less, etc. Not everyone is suited for the military. Not everyone is made for getting shouted at by sadistic superiors. For my case, I decided that NS pay of $480 was not going to cover my housing rent, my car installment, my food and my other expenses. I was not going to give up my freedom for a national duty. Here is my story. I enlisted directly into HRI as PES E9L9 due to 'depression' (as diagnosed by IMH). I first started going to IMH a year before enlistment to build up a case to get a down pes. True enough, I got downgraded to E9L9 from A. As I only have a private diploma and O levels, being PES A will definitely make me a chiong sua man. To me, my business and career is more important than NS. We can leave the NS to those who aim just to be a mediocre person in life. On the day of enlistment, I knew I had to shave my head. Thus I managed to get a memo from the IMH psychiatrist to request an excuse from cutting hair. A bald head would just make taking MCs from hospitals harder. Despite the memo, the commanders were adamant about cutting hair. I then acted up, curled into a ball, clutched my head and start sobbing as loud as I could. Immediately, the OC told me it will be fine and asked me to get it cut myself outside. He then asked me to go see my doctor and I went to IMH. I only spent 1 hour in camp throughout my entire NS life. After walking out of the camp, I immediately went to IMH a&e department and got myself a 4 day MC. As the 4 day MC came to an end, I realized I could not go back to camp as I could not leave my work (that would result in me having no money). I then started a spree of MCs from hospital A&Es and polyclinics. These ranged from 1-5 day MCs. Although there is a directive that MCs more than 3 days must be endorsed, I just said I was too sick to leave the house and there was nothing they could do. I believe, somewhere along the line, they instructed hospitals to stop giving me MCs as the MCs started to dwindle to 1 day in duration. I then began to impersonate officers, pilots and even had friends dress up as my superiors wheel me in on wheelchairs to the A&E. Let's just say luckily the hospitals can't verify this. About a month into the MC spree, they had sent MPs to my house multiple times and claimed I wasn't home (I was at work obviously). Some b**tard officer then threatened to charge me for not being at home when on MC. I immediately replied and yelled at him in a maniac voice that I was indeed at home and had just taken sleeping pills issued by the doctor. Why am I not allowed to rest when on MC? Need I be awake just for their stupid house visits?. I then threatened to go see my MP and talk to the press about them harassing me when I was trying to rest and this young punk officer immediately backed off. The finale and PES F came when one day, they tried to get the police to breach my door down while I was on MC. Luckily I was at home and opened the door to the surprise of the police officers. I then conveyed my intent that I was sick and wanted to rest without being disturbed. They then left without protest. Knowing that they would soon do more unscrupulous things, I checked myself into IMH for a 2 day resort stay fully paid for by our dear Mindef. The psychiatrist then asked if I would like to continue NS and I replied that I do not want to see people in army uniform as I wish to kill them. Immediately upon my discharge, they scheduled me to see an SAF psychiatrist and he gave me the most Honourable award the SAF can issue, a PES F as well as a 2 month MC to cover me from returning to camp while the PES F processes. Two weeks later, a call from my camp informed me that my IC could be collected back. I went down, took my IC and walked out a free man, free of any reservist obligations, duty to obtain exit permits. I was and am elated. In total, I was enlisted for a total of one month and two weeks, out of which, I spent only an hour in camp. On average, I spend one hour for each day MC making me effectively serve NS for one hour per day. Given the monthly allowance of $480 and given that I spend 5 hours a week taking MC, I am roughly paid $24 per hour to take MCs, making me the highest paid NSFs in service. So to all PES F hopefuls, I want to encourage you to take this path. It is a path more exclusive than OCS, as only a select few can actually attain this highest honour. Don't be fooled by what some people say about PES F people being unable to be hired. The world is your oyster. Even if no one wants to hire you (very unlikely as people in the private sector don't give a f**k about NS and would be happier if you had no NS obligations), start a business or carve your own career. Don't let the negativity of people who verbally abuse 'chao kengsters' affect you. Majority of this people have the 'just suck it up attitude' and are happy with a mediocre life. I'm not and I am sure you are not. I want to excel and succeed and challenge the impossible. They said it was impossible to PES F and avoid hair cuts, but I did it nonetheless. So go out and get your PES F and let the world see. Sincerely, A PES F-ed Recruit. - See more at: http://www.allsingaporestuff.com/article/chao-keng-god-how-i-forced-saf-release-me-serving-ns#sthash.Gfw2TE8G.dpuf

porsche anyone? guarantee buyback ... depreciation is even much lower than buy (aka hire purchase) but you must have $235K to park there first and collect it back 3 years later .... LOL

Was driving along Jln Besar near the hawker centre this morning in the rain and then this double decker chut pattern: (Paiseh the video quality was as it was recorded by my old DOD FH500 and have since asked our resident car cam guru bro Adrianli for advise to get a new one soon) Agree it was at a bend and that there was an old lady pushing a cart obstructing the bus but still the bus driver could at least signal, check clear then filter out safely and not abruptly like that. But seriously this bend is a dangerous spot and I urge all bros to be careful when here as I have seen many such suka suka filterings since it was created.

Hi bro and sis, curious to know do you all give way to people who indicate their intention by signalling, be it turning left or right or just changing lane. Or you quickly accelerate to close off the gap? I always give way to people who signal. But I will hack care those who try to switch to my lane without signalling , even though I can anticipate his intention. Hopefully can encourage more signalling drivers on the road.

looks like they targeting poor people like us now eh? :(

I went with my colleague to buy a car this morning. Paid $46800 for a 2007 July Mazda 3 luxury edition. Then after COE went up this afternoon he call my colleague says the loan approve but his boss not happy with the selling price. But he already sign the sales agreement and paid deposit. So he tell my friend to he will discuss with his boss about the issue. I check the agreement there is no clause that state selling can void the sales only buyer back out deposit will be forfeited. So my question is after GE money approve the loan if tomorrow he went down to sign the agreement how long they can disburse the money to the dealer? By right the loan approve my colleague sign the agreement and pay for the transfer, insurance, first installment can take car already right? Or still need to wait? Cos he scare the dealer not happy will do something nasty to the car before handing over. Please advice.

ALL THESE TO CATCH A BAREFOOT 'BURGLAR' Police dogs Gurha soldiers Cops in uniform, plainclothes Special ops vehicles May 26, 2008 FOR just one young man suspected of breaking into a house, the police dispatched a large force to seal a hill. ? Picture: Shin Min Daily After an extensive search lasting four hours, they captured the suspect. At about 6.30am yesterday, police got information that there was a break-in at a house on Arcadia Road off Adam Road. They immediately sent a patrol car to check. A Shin Min Daily News reporter, who got a tip-off from a reader, rushed to the area and saw six police cars. Three policemen, with a police dog each, searched the nearby wooded area. Another police dog awaited orders. It was 10.30am when police sent seven 'red cars' carrying policemen believed to be from Special Operations Command to the area. Some 20 plainclothes and uniformed policemen started surrounding the hilltop, conducting a thorough search operation. Not long later, Gurkha soldiers and more special forces policemen arrived to join in the search, Shin Min Daily News reported. An hour after, police nabbed a man who looked to be in his 20s. He was handcuffed with his hands behind his back. This man wasn't wearing any shoes as he walked out. His head was held low. He wore a dark blue T-shirt and pants. Residents said he looked familiar, and that he could be a foreign worker from a nearby construction site. A police spokesman confirmed that they detained a man suspected of breaking-and-entering, and they are still investigating. At the hilltop of Arcadia Road, there are two condominiums and several colonial-era black-and-white bungalows. It is understood the burglary had happened in one of those bungalows. After taking the man away, police continued to search the wooded area to ensure he had no accomplices. They wrapped up the search at 12.20pm. http://newpaper.asia1.com.sg/news/story/0,...,165754,00.html?

AUTOSHOW-Mitsubishi Motors developing low cost car Sat Apr 19, 2008 11:58pm BEIJING, April 20 (Reuters) - Mitsubishi Motors (7211.T: Quote, Profile, Research) is working on developing a low cost car to be sold in China and Thailand as well as the European market, for a targeted launch date of 2010, the company's top executive said on Sunday. President Osamu Masuko, speaking to reporters at the Beijing Auto Show, said the car would be based on a 660cc vehicle platform that is currently used only in Japan. Masuko also said the company's initial 2008 U.S. sales target would be tough to meet, citing the latest industry forecasts for total sales volumes to be as low as 14.5 million vehicles this year. Mitsubishi had initially forecast its U.S. sales to fall by about 10,000 units this year.
