Army love me long time

It says here that I have to fast for six hours before 8am tomor­row, when I report to camp (again). The Army loves me. I can’t really say it’s an unre­quited love, though. I’d fast for love, wouldn’t you? It also says my employer is oblig­ated by law to let me go back to camp.

Cross-Strait (not bi) relations: Kenny steals our thunder

The hir­sute Kenny Sia took a bus here from KL, want­ing to meet mrbrown and me, because any­one who comes to town would want to meet us. But being the prima don­nas that we are, we were ter­ri­ble hosts. I had work till 8, mrbrown had to make sure his kids were tucked in, and who
