Fire!! drill...


Wow~. I just had my first ever fire drill this morning (besides the NS ones lar). It served as an interesting distraction from daily routine rather than a safety-habit-inducing exercise.
It’s quite a laugh, observing the progress of the exercise.

You hear the fire alarm going off but you know it is just a fire drill when:
1. The fire warden who is charged with all-important responsibility of making sure everyone is accounted for and escorted out via the fire exit is still typing away gleeful at her desktop.

2. Your colleagues are more concerned about saving that goddamned long report they having working on all morning rather than saving their ass by walking out in a “fast and orderly manner”.

3. The security guard asks you to show your staff-pass at the exit.

4. Beautiful colleagues trying to be more beautiful by applying generous amount of cosmetic along the way. Not that, while standing under the blazing sun, any makeup will be altered perfectly to resemble a monkey’s red ass cheeks. Come hellhound and fire, I just want to look beautiful.

5. Your colleague went to starbucks for coffee before going to the assembling area. It’s along the way he says.

6. Every single pedestrian walking pass looks our way with such bemusement in their eyes that you will think the spectacle of a thousand-strong mustering is actually the star awards in commencement.

Nevertheless, it has been a great-in-some-way-damn-boring-in-others-one-month at work so far.

Working do has its perks. So far I have enjoyed quite a collection of freebies. Free T-shirt, pizzas, ice cream (both for the mouth and the eyes if you know what I mean…), cakes, lunches, even a free flu vaccine.

Yah you saw that right, a free flu VACCINATION jab worth at SGD$20. In frigging Sillypore. When it’s frigging out of stock in the market. Wooh~~ talk about welfare. Not to mention the hours I spent surfing, blogging, walking, talking, blah….

Oh my. Your eyes are glowing green with envy.
Think not? Click and think again.

Three more weeks for work. Have fun guys.
