The place I slug out from 8 to 5

Some called it "Workplace", some called it "Office", and there are others who called it "Hell". But me? I just call it a "Comedy Valley".

Why? Because every single day, this 10M X 6M space, never fail to generate laughters which will make a dreadful day wheesh by easier.

Everyday, my colleagues will proceed to this "Valley" after our Morning Roll-Call. And the funny thing is, everyone would stay in that room till around 8:30am or 8:45am, before we would go for breakfast. Well, our Boss has this particular habit to gather everyone in the Office, and have a morning chat with us before we start our day.

And even if there ain't any morning chat, everyone would mysteriously hang around till 8:30am.

It kind of felt warm actually. How should I put it?! It's like you feel very comfortable and easy, As if we're like one big family. Everyone would gather around, talk about what happened last night, or even the previous night's soccer matches, how MAN U flopped their chance of advancing to the Champions' League Final, or even where we went last night. And definitely, our conversations can never be completed without discussions about girls. HAHA!!! We're Man you know HAHA!!!

But the funniest thing or "Comedian" is none other than my Boss. Whenever he gather all of us for a morning chat or evening chat, he never fails to insert, or side-track with some "grandfather stories", or those "I've been there, done that" kind of Stories. He'll talk about how "great" he was in his younger days, gossiped about how "shrew" old officers or soldiers were when they were in command, or how they would try to come up with 1001 reasons to skip training.

Or he would talk about other topics which actually have no link whatsoever with the things he's talking about. Though, well, it's time-wasting and kind of unnecessary. But all these never fail to amuse or bring a smile on our faces, and we use it as an alternative "force" to let time pass faster.

But, I guess come June, this "Comedy Valley" would never be the same again... ...
