How to siam mobilisation --> get chicken pox

Hand phone rings

Ops specialist (OS) : Hello is this Mr Zheng Ximing?

Me: Yes

OS: I received your faxed mc, and we can only exempt you from mobilisation until 14 March as your mc is only until then, unless you extend your mc.

Me: But I have chicken pox, if I go outside will be contagious. And the doctor said he will assess on Monday (17 March) if I need extended mc.

OS: Ya, we understand and we are trying our best to help you but we can't.

Me:(Yeah right I bet you din even try).

OS: Anyway it's very simple, when mobilised, just bring all your stuff and go down to camp to sign and half hour will be done.

Me:(And get everyone infected. Yeah. And I have been thru it once, it takes a few hours becos not everybody is prompt in going back, still trying to bluff me. I may be sick but not stupid)

OS: So unless you extend your mc, we cannot exempt you.

Me: Ok. Thanks.

And so I went with my dad to extend my mc at a clinic near my house (hope I din get anybody infected, but people were looking at me like I'm an alien. I had no choice but to go as the doctor asked me to after my dad tried to get it extended). Had to tell the doc I work on Saturday so that the mc covers 15 March which is the likely (99% confirmed per the bigger people in my unit) mobilisation date. He gave me another week! Till 22 March (the doc believed I had to work on Saturday).

But I am quite well. See if Monday I can go back to work, too much work to be done. I may be slack, but I am responsible hahaha.
