On the Job Placement Letter

The official letter calling for induction finally arrived. Mum was so surprised it was so soon! After all, even though we received it much later, but the fact that the letter was issued 3 days right after my oath taking ceremony was just... *speechless*

Mum: Goodness, they grab you so tightly and don't give you any space to breathe!

Me: I'm not surprised.

Mum: Ridiculous. So how? I courier over to you tomorrow?

Me: I'll come back and read it during Chinese New Year.

Mum: Will it be too late?

Me: I don't care. It's not like I OWE them anything. I'm not on their scholarships.

Mum: True, but you still after all, owe them a whole lot because they subsidize more than half of your tuition fees.

Me: Besides, if I start work before CNY, I won't even get any leaves for CNY!
