Last but not least, another nice picture of me LOL

*more pictures are in Facebook*

Had my commissioning ball last night at St. Regis Hotel. It was awesome with a pretty babe as my date and seeing my friends at a posh hotel. It was nice seeing those who are posted to 41SAR, especially Brian.

Went to pick Xue Fang up at her place. As usual, I knew I had to wait for her (pretty girls are always like that right? Haha!). I was surprised when I saw her. It was the first time in 5 years I saw the other side of her. I think she's gorgeous and simply awesome.

She got me a tie from her brother and a pair of shoes (damn thick and small) from her dad. I remember seeing her sms last week early in the morning, "vin. I wear heels hor. 5cm only. I'm only 164. You don't mind hor?" LOL her dad's small feet explains why mine were in pain throughout the night.

So, off we drove to St. Regis. The food was nice, a lot better than my social night. The ambience was also good.

In all, I enjoyed myself last night. I hope my lovely date enjoyed herself too.

I remember at some point of time last night, I was wishing time will stop at that moment.

Why do I want to be an officer?

Was updating my journal and came across this entry which I wrote when I was still in Service Term last year.

Time: 2000 hours

Title: Why do I want to be an officer?

Firstly, I'm from a low income family. Before I was enlisted, I told myself that I must get into OCS as it gives me a higher pay compared to others. With the money, I'm able to help out in my family's financial situation.

Secondly, being able to stand in SAFTI parade square in the No. 1 uniform has always been my dream. When I was in secondary school, I was from NCC. This particular CLT (Tiong) from my school changed me since then. It made me want to be the best in everything I do whenever possible. Hence during BMT, I worked hard along with my peers, hoping that we would get into the best command school in Singapore. And gladly, we did (though they are in other wings now).

Besides that, I believe being an officer gives me a sense of pride and belonging to Singapore. And also, I want to have a good experience in army so that I can share with others what I did during my OCS life in the future.

Lastly, I heard from my friends that being an officer will give me a higher chance to get employed in the future. I wonder if it's true. But at least when I'm working in the future, I'm able to apply the leadership skills that I've equipped from OCS.

Hence in conclusion, I believe being an officer will only do me good and let me learn and experience more things than the rest. I'm proud to be here and I'm be more proud on 130609 in my No. 1 uniform on the parade square.

Last but not least, I want to make my parents feel proud of me.

I didn't know I was so enthu last time.
Sadly, the passion is dying off.

130609

9 months of shit in return for 1 day of pride.

Commissioned yesterday. It's a day I'll never forget. The days of being a trainee of 38 weeks finally came to an end.

No words could describe how the 528 of us were feeling when we threw our caps/berets. It was just WOW! Images of my cadet's life kept flashing in my mind.

All the photos are all on Facebook alr. So those who want the pictures, please tag yourself there. Thanks for those who came, and those who wished me your well wishes.

Last but not least, congrats to 73/08. All the best in our future endeavours.

1 more week :D

Been into super old songs recently, or rather I'm more into old songs than usual. No idea why I prefer old songs than new ones. Listening to cantonese songs too. Haha though I don't understand the lyrics, but it just sounds good.

Down to only 1 week! Had our Appointment Certificate Presentation Ceremony (ACPC) last Friday. Got my sword alr! But the short lived excitement died off after a while, just like when I passed my Class 3 license.

Will be commissioning on this coming Saturday! But sadly, can only bring 4 guests for the parade. Quite sad that I can't bring my friends go. Hope will have something on that night to celebrate our end of misery of being a trainee!

Heard that my posting will be at 42SAR, which means I will be going to Australia for the A-tec at the end of the year for 1 to 2 months. Hope I won't be posted there. If not I think really can bang wall alr.

Finally, I let it out after a year. One thing off my mind alr.
