More ramblings from a disconnected mind
Gak... am coughing so hard that it feels like I'm going to gak up a piece of lung.
At work and waiting for some replies from recalcitrant newsmakers.
They take a loooong time to approve any kind of answers, and by the time it gets to us, all we get is "thank you for your query, but the ministry feels that it is inappropriate to discuss the details of the case as it is still being investigated." or some other barmy answers that don't make any sense whatsoever.
Eg: Q: What are you doing to address this consumer's complaints?
A: We, XXXX company, have been established for XX years. We have stores in more than 17 locations. As a XXX-audited company, we have some of the best governance practices.
Here's a present we bought for ourselves while shopping for our friends' kids.
Ain't he cute? Okay okay, we're still in Africa Withdrawal..
But he's cute. even if zebras really don't have a single fat band like that on their faces.
By the way, I cannot believe the sheer market for kids and how much pple will spend on them.
The place we bought it from is a Club21 boutique for kids! I mean... okay...
designer wear is all good and fine... but; don't kiddies outgrow their clothes and shoes in a flash?

Gene, as you can tell, as Africa Withdrawal Syndrome bad.
He's been polishing off G&Ts and biltong quite quickly.
In fact, the bottle of Tanqueray gin we bought
at Duty Free on the way back lasted oh... a week.
Ironically, in Africa, Gene was the one who kept thinking about work, even during the game drives. Silly diddy.... right now he's really in the thick of it; especially with his recent elevation in food chain status.
He was on call on Boxing day, so the Christmas celebrations were curtailed a bit, and he's going to be on call on New Year's Day, which means the countdown party is going to be at home in bed.
Tragic yah?
Oh well. Give the man his due lah. He is quite committed to the whole thing despite annoyances like this...He actually cooked for his department on boxing day as a morale booster... everyone now... "awwwwwwwwwwwwww". Hahhahahhah.
