  you see all sorts of things ....
  
  allergic to dust for instance ..... (okie, fair enough, asthma perhaps)
  
  allergic to soil ....... (plausible, but ermmmmm ..... )
  
  allergic to rust ... yes, rust .... (pushing it .... )
  
  and the list goes on ..... to grass, to ant bites, to sweat ......
  
  either the Singapore youth of today has no fortitude and became effete .... or our overly clean urban landscape has spawned a generation of youths unable to operate out of the aircon room ....

  I was in the same company as this guy who was allergic to metal, ammo etc. No, I am not making this up. One other guy, was apparently allergic to staying-in. Yep, even during BMT he was allowed to go home everyday.
  
  The ones allergic to the SAF uniform were the funniest. You'd see them going fo range with helmet, SBO, worn over PT attire. They looked ridiculous!

  But really, all the kengsters made life a lot harder for the genuine cases. Heck, I had to be exempted from some activities and the first thing the PC asked me was "are you a malingerer?"
  
  If you're wondering why a person who can dive, jump out of an airplane, and do buddy building had to be exempted from all combat vocations, I'll tell you over a beer when you come back.

  yeah okie, fair enough ... but other personnel will have to cover up their shit for those people who are perpetually "sick" and such eh .... I don't compare and whine about mine and thine welfare, but some people just uses such things to get off duties and such, eh ? ... that's whyat I was sore about during NS, and I'm still sore now ...
  
  no matter, it's a lesson learnt, and you know the measure of some chap's work ethics .....

  yeah! those pple ought to be taught a lesson. my theory of how much to goof off and slack in army always included not to do so such that you cause trouble or problems to your fellow slaves.
  
  i esp hated this guy who took at least 1 or 2 mcs a week of 2 days each

  I'm sure lots of guys want to know what 'medication' you've been using.

  -blink-
  
  Think the only two things I can think of... is... ehh.. Cats and Dust. (and usually dust mites on cats)
  
  but i dont get affected by cats in a well ventilated area... which explains why I survive with my cats....
  
  as for dust.. they dont affect me when they settle down.. its when people make me tidy up that I get all sick

  Does anyone know of chocolates here which do not contain traces of nuts?
  
  Or a substitute for buah keras (candlenut) in most spice recipes?
