Man, it is no joke going for lessons after work, especially when I had to clear my stuff till 5 min before lesson starts. So you can imagine the bloody rush across Raffles Place Open Space to the other side of Raffles Place where my course is held.
Anyway, the lecturer was lively enough to keep a hungry and tired Tintin awake till 9.30pm. The take-away joke of the night:-
"Compliance Officers are like Soccer Referees. The SPECTATORS hate them for booking players from their favourite team. The PLAYERS hate them for giving biased judgement on their tackles. The COACHES challenge every red card, yellow card, or free kicks awarded by the referee to the opposing team. Nobody appreciates the referee. He's probably the most unpopular person in the entire stadium, but without the referee, the match cannot go on."
Uncannily, it speaks volume about my job. And for the record, I don't even watch Soccer. *sic*
