Yay! ORD Loh! hee... Unofficially lah...
30 more days to my official ORD date- 27 march 2006! Arhhh... We really have come a long way... i still remember the 1st day i walk into hendon camp gates on 27 Jan 2004. I still remembered taking my vows, haha... and today we handed over our company flag back to HQ commando. 2 years, It has really been something; sweat, tears, heartbreak, joy, happiness, pride... It really has been one giant emotional rollercoaster ride.
Anyway today ORD parade is 1 parade i've been waiting for my entire NS life, i've always wished this day would faster come, but now it has passed, i wished the parade was still a few more days away. After today, the days would pass in the blink of an eye and all my 'brothers' would go their saperate path to continue on with life. We've been thru much and now as i looked back, i'll missed those happy times as well as those tough times. It's thru tough time that we discovered the true meaning of friendship. But like they say, "all good things must come to an end" and so we shall, close this chapter to the book of our lives and embark on a new chapter. One thing for sure, our latter chapter in life will always bare references to our earlier chapters. We'll always look back to remember & be inspired to write a better story for the latter part of our lives.
As i looked back, there was little regret. It had been a really fulfilling experence. My only regret was i never gave my heart to serve, it was somewhere else during my first year in commandos. If i did, i would have reaped a more rewarding & happier experence instead of this Luke-warm feeling i have now. But thankfully majority of my NS life have been a positive one. NS caused me to lose something dear, but i also gain back something rewarding in the process and thru all these, i found greater meaning to life as well as many important lessons that would aid me in my coming chapters in life.
Haha... but i believe the greatest lesson learnt is, "never leave your hopes & happiness upon another person, she / he may collaspes under all those load." Anyway humans are prone to fuck ups. Pinning your happiness on someone is like handing the keys of nuclear missle silos to the person. If u're not careful, it might just destroy us all...
Hee... today's parade got a bonus too! hee... Silvia from the superstar was invited by one of the 4th coy people. Frankly lah, if 4th coy did do anything right in their 2 yrs 4 mths, that would be to invite her to the ORD parade. haha... and i even managed to take a picture with her! haha...
Wah... this is one damn short post. It has been quite a long time since i last posted something this short! haha...
