::Its always sad to go...

The first day of a civilian being.

With a pretty weird feeling in my heart.

Things that you have been doing everyday for the past 2 years,

suddenly you are out.

suddenly you stopped doing it.

suddenly you dunno what to do

or what will happen to you.

Weird eh, isn't it?

The journey has ended,

a new chapter of life begins.

New challenges ahead.

Jus the same as this period a year ago.

A war has ended,

but another war has started.

All this while,

I might not be able to fulfill the goals i set,

but at the end the day,

when you touch your heart,

and feel that you have not let yourself down

its enough already.

I've learned a lot during this while,

Of Mature thoughts and a better attitude.

Values which will no doubt gain me an edge in the future ahead.

I've enjoyed my time here.

to be able to make it to this stage,

not easy at all.

Tried to extend my stay but MISSION FAILED!

Well, mayb its the right time to leave after all.

Looking back at the first day in Tekong,

when i gave my pink card to some 3SG,

before meeting my falcon mates,

till now,

when i got it back,

I guess i've become a better man.

The transition to a civilian

Civilian or NSF or regular,

It doesn't matter.

Once an officer, always an officer.::

::Future on the rocks

Will i stay on

or move on?

Will i spend a longer time here

to fulfill my ideals?

Or being thrown into the wilderness?

I've did wad i could

Wad more can i do now?

------------------------------------

Never felt like this before

Never had i imagine we would need to emphasize it so much

Y dun we get the respect we deserve?

Y r we being treated like the rest?

when we do so much more,

they tink tt its our job.

But we dun receive the recognition we deserve.

I dun wanna use the word "cheap labour"

No more sucking thumb!

Unite and we shall receive.

::"Sheng shi,

I understand already,

Even if i do everything,

I might not be able to change anything

But if i don't,

i can't move on,

i can't face the world.

Fong,

Have u found ur answer?

Even if the world leaves me, hates me, abandons me,

I'll fight on,

for the future we live in,

as a commissioned officer of the singapore armed forces."::

::Looks like i've neglected this place for quite a while.

Is it cos i'm satisfied with my life?

That's why i dun feel the urge to blog?

Or is it that this place no longer holds any meaning to me?

Ppl say i'm quite emotional here.

Oops, u've seen the other side of me...

Am i hard on the outside, soft on the inside?

I dunno

but this is just who i'm.::

::Finally i remembered!

That i still have a blog

Alive and kicking in this world!

Seems that i've been too lazy these days

to log onto blogger and spam my feelings

but here i'm :)

This blog is not dead!

Firstly, congrats to those who jus commissioned yesterday

as true officers of the singapore armed forces

hope ur will always uphold the officer corps

n the pride n honour of the ur sword

We were not given a sword for nothing

I've been wondering,

especially during recent events

what it takes to be a good officer

apparently those things that they taught in OCS and ETI

didn't work out here

I wasn't prepared for all these!

Ever since cadets

we were deemed to be superhumans

things that u think its impossible

u always did it

its always like that

and u look back with laughs and smile

now the challenge is even greater

SUPERMAN i suppose

but dere shouldn't be anything that fazes the young officer

3 months on since that faithful day at SAFTI which i've waited for 9 months

i'm still learning how to be a good officer

no one says its gonna be easy

jus like what CPT Alex has told us

i still remember

just before we boarded the bus back to SAFTI for joint term

"The war's going to end

But another war has juz started..."

But let me tell u something

i'm not juz here to do my job

i'm going to make a difference

to touch people's lives

to make them learn

To all the new guys,

pls uphold the officers corp

dun forget wad u've learn during cadet days

keep the flame burning, or even brighter, when u attain the rank from the president

n most importantly,

dun let it die

I believe in myself

and my fellow batchmates

I won't disappoint myself

and the others around me

I dun commission for nothing

If u dunno how we commission

pls ask the president

I believe in officership

Do u still rmb the creed?::
