I was locked out of my own house yesterday night for one hour.
Admittedly, I was quite upset because it was almost 10pm, and I was tired and sleepy and I have not had my beer! S had to bear the brunt of my unhappiness.
Whilst waiting for the house keys to be fetched, I spent an irritable hour lying on a slab of concrete 'wall' at the void deck, inviting suspicious stares from nighbours walking to the lift lobby. Thankfully for army training, I can balance myself very well while lying down (face up) on the wall only 30cm wide.
The Guiness foreign extra did its work wonderfully after I got into my house later though. I did not have too much time to enjoy its taste as my bedtime beckoned.
Conclusion? I think I am a little stressed from work.

Enlistment
Cousin JL will be enlisting in a few months time and he is not a whee bit concerned, like I was in my time. Why? Because he has been medically downgraded.
I still remember my enlistment day, the images of climbing up the three-tonner, of glancing at my parents sitted and waving at me, picking up the ali baba bag, waiting for the hair-cut, waiting at the range for shooting practice, of many punishments (especially one change parade I was responsible for for reporting back camp late), a female sergeant screaming obscenities at us, the same female sergeant making me 'knock-it-down' when I offered to give her a hand going down a steep slope, of having an emergency pee session while firing blanks in the midst of tall lalang somewhere in Lim Chun Kang, of being estatically happy when I chanced upon a secondary school friend who was also involved in training in Lim Chu Kang .... the list goes on.
In a way, I am sorry that JL will not be having the FULL NS experience, though I doubt very much he will mind.

Little White Dog visiting
Snowy (I call her Little White Dog) is staying over at our place for a week as Ben and parents are travelling to Hokkaido. Dana, aka Little Brown Dog, is a little concerned and quite jealous. So S and I have to be careful that the two little dogs do not end up fighting, not that they will actually.
S has also being kept busy, preparing their meals, and monitoring their small and big businesses. It has also made my life a but more exciting, as I have another dog belly to scratch.
Separately, I am happy for parents that they have an opportunity to visit Japan with Ben and LL accompanying. And it is sakura season, it will be beautiful!
