Happy Birthday Jo!

Jo's such a lovely girl..She's just so chirpy and jovial! How does she do it--despite all the ups and downs she goes through? Not that she's miserable or anything, but she just seems unperturbed by it all. Anyway, I've been having a really great time catching up with you over the past couple of weeks. It's good to know that new-found lingo and certain new perspectives aside, deeeeeeeep down, you're still the same joe black from j1 who'd amuse me when i'm down with the apprehensive pat on my back saying "it's okay chiam!" hah!

Sorry guys, for being the stoned me today. Really couldn't squeeze any energy out of myself after an extremely exhausting day at work. Not to mention the terrible dissapointment of having my half day off robbed. by a meeting and a task that came at literally just before i was gonna leave the office. Sometimes such uncanny coincidences make me subscribe to some kinda omniscient conspiracy theory nonsense, but then i realise it's just the SAF. and the people in it. Much as things have improved over the past two years, you still can't run away from the inefficiences and irritating idiosyncracies of regulars in the SAF. Sweeping you might say? There're incentives so wanting in the intrinsic nature of the organisation that these ppl often portray the characteristics we see of centrally planned economies. Not very encouraging is it? Anyway, the count is currently at 64. Let's just get it over with.

Haha, never thought I'd be so happy about national day! But indeed, tomorrow's going to be the first public holiday in a really long time! Short but much needed. At least i can go to sleep tonight without having to set my alarm clock!
