This is a public service announcement from the friendly folks at http://everyoneloveshongxiang.blogspot.com.
Due to the heavy rainfall across the country recently, I am not wearing any socks.
And that was a public service announcement brought to you by the folks at http://everyoneloveshongxiang.blogspot.com.
Seriously though, the weather has been pretty busy raining these few days.
Nobody really likes it when it rains, but the rain has this curious effect of uniting every Singaporean.
Everytime it rains, the entire Singapore just unite in their misery. Everyone just sulks and wallow in self-pity together.
I witnessed an example of this today.
I was at this big Armed Forces psi-ops thing called the Army Open House today, and it was jolly good fun, considering the fact that it was the military who organised the whole thing.
They did a great job though. Afterall, 95% of the military's job is to look like they can overcome everything. And they certainly did well in that aspect.
Anyway, everything went smoothly till the afternoon.
Then, it started to rain.
With military precision and efficiency, everybody gathered around one another on wooden benches and sulked. They complained about the weather, the boredom, life and the general state of things.
It was incredible to see our nation unite in times of adversity, regardless of race, language or religion.
Say something
