bullied again

Bias, Contempt and Sloth contrived to breed immense disatisfaction, extreme discord and ultimate carnage among the trainees of FDC today.
Today, as usual, FDC's elite platoon, platoon 1, were made, unfairly, to do a frustratingly tiring amount of sai kang after lunch. We were called to the training shed where Sgt Xing Kuan Boon, the sai kang sgt with a pretty face, read out the duties of the platoons. Unsurprisingly, my platoon got "bullied" again. It seems that the non-choosy attitude of one of my platoon's sergeants has been taken advantage by sgt xing. we got the most xiong jobs and more than 2 hours after platoon 2, the duty platoon, had gone up, and even FINISHED their dinner, we were still out working hard. I have never been so close to fainting since the course started. Carrying heavy zinc sheets, constertina and barb wires quickly sapped my fatigued body of much needed blood sugar, causing me to feel light and weak. It was therefore not unimaginable that my platoon, led by the oldest trainee, benny, organised a mini strike, pissing off the duty sgt. We just voiced our displeasure to him, which was very just. But he refused to call down the other 2 resting platoons to assist us, although my own sgt said, after the whole incident was over, that they would have done it had we told them to. Quite apparent the two sgts have different value systems. During our sai kang event platoon 3's platoon sgt, sgt teo, also asked us for 5 volunteers, of which only 4 trainees made themselves available. I wanted to help out, but my head was swooning so I let my butt stay glued to the grass instead. I am not in a blogging mood and will continue this account tomorrow, or never.
