Milo Addiction
I have a new found addiction to Milo, and I attribute this to the unlimited free flow of Milo at my new work place.
I remember how we used to get a sachet of Milo in a day’s share of combat rations whenever there is outfield training. It was the most precious piece of item, and probably the only thing most people would deign themselves to consume, since Milo is incidentally the only humane item when you are outfield.
I’ve since forgotten my desire for Milo after leaving the dirty raw jungle behind me, but the wonderful waft of the chocolate coming out of the dispenser (Yes, they have dispensers for those lazy Milo drinkers like me!) was too tough to resist, so I helped myself to ONE cup. Which was followed by another cup.
They say that you can fall sick from drinking all that Milo. I agree. All the rich pampering has already allowed a rampant virus in the office to jump quickly from person to person. As yet another person went down, I hurriedly finished yet another bottle of water after my Milo indulgence, which was kind of pointless because it only spoilt the after-taste. And the air-conditioning was artic, as usual, which made me visit the toilet very often.
And my training mates like me. You know the kind where they like to hang around you and make fun of you? I enjoyed that.
My job? I’ll be at the receiving end of abuse from angry National Service personnel after we take over the NS customer support from the old company.
(Insert important plug:)
Please, please, please remember to finish all your important transactions by the end of 28th April 2006. The MINDEF e-Services will go down on the 29th, and you won’t be able to do your stuff. This means that pre-enlistees, NSF and NSMen who have not applied for an Overseas Notification or Exit Permit will not be able to leave the country. It will only create more trouble for you when you conduct your transaction at the last minute, only to find that the e-services do not work!
Thank you so much!
(End plug)
Ahem. I know that this isn’t getting the attention that it deserves, and that there will be people who still insist on conducting their transactions at the last minute, only to find themselves unable to access the services. I stand ready to handle the abuse. Just be gentle with me, ok? Thank you so much!
