Making sense...

Well recently got this thingy for boots...yeap boots. Not goth or fetish but Military Spec boots especially the Desert Storm Tan series. Somehow after getting a pair of Timberland with Gold emblems from Japan last year didn't actually satisfy my desire. Got this thingy for military stuffs eventhough I have completed my liability for this nation. Maybe becos they last much longer than other commercial products given the value for money and also, it's not common to see assholes pull it off as a fashion statement in Singapore where street fashion for most brainless suckers are simply a flop. Yeap they simply have no FUCKING taste...following whatever the ugly trend is and God knows where they pick up the trend from.

Anyway, I googled for the boot I wanted and I founded Altama, a company that supply boots to kick the asses of terrorists. Yeah, they were used in both the Afghanistan and Iraq war and are standard issues for the U.S. military. God these boots are really awesome...then I went around trying to find these gems in Singapore. Well, the overall experience is FUCKING disappointing. None of the 3 retailers supplied to me by an email from Altama carried the appropriate sizes for me to try. And of the 3 retailers, only 1 entertain walk in customers while the other 2 do orders for mass orders and for corporations. From them I found out that a large shipment of around 700 of these boots are being shipped in for Gurkhas in Singapore. Fucking shit...they are the elite warriors protecting our soil and giving their lives when necessary and that commands them the rights to have these boots as a standard issue for new recruits.

And the rest of the population that serves the nation as well, conscripts for the SAF get ordinary boots. Maybe it's a budget issue, or some other issues that I do not bother and simply have no interest in. But the bottomline is that if you are an asset, you get the best stuffs while if you are nothing more that a mere liability, you get the commercial stuffs.

Nope, I am not feeling the slightest bit of jealousy here but you can always spend a little cash to get the things you want rather that trade your life and freedom for a lifetime of commitment.

Go figure.
