Why Are You Here?

Good as Gold, Around the World

I finally completed my NYAA report today. Hopefully it is able to be submitted for approval and we can get the award or else it's really a waste of efforts typing and recollecting stuffs that happen 2 years ago.

As I did have some time to spare today, I decided to go back to camp to settle my clearance stuff for my ORD. What I did not expect is 1 bloody new bird who don't know who am I or purposely don't wish to know ( anyway I never seen him before and that's why he is categorize as a new bird) answered me back in a very rude manner when I ask him to place his rifles and mg properly before he get into trouble with my XO. KNNBCCB, no big no small siah...I almost want to shoot him back but decided against it as firstly he is not from my platoon secondly, he placed the mg properly into place after I repeated my orders thirdly I am gonna ORD soon so the less trouble the better.

ARgggg. Not to worry not to worry wait till my CSM come back on the day I Ord and they will suddenly wake up from their fucking ideas. La La land no more huh...Those idiots need die first before they know how to do stuffs properly. Not to say I'm sacaristic but I also went thru the same lesson when CSM was around so they should have their turn soon.

And came a surprise invitation by my platoon to go for a KTV cum drinking session at the Chevrons. What really shocked me was the attendance. Almost the entire plt 1 went even though it is a weekday and they need to report to camp on Fri morning 8am. We make merry while singing KTV and the highlight of the session was when everyone joined together and raise their voice to the tunes of WAKIN/Emil Chau " Friends". When the song end, everyone grabbed a mug and YAM SENG! My god, I guessed everyone was so high at that point of time that no one could have beaten us down.

I guessed this is what NS is all about. Coming together from all walks of life with a common purpose to perform your national duty properly while making great friends in the process. It is often a choice whether one can choose to play bastard or take care of your men as a commander, or one can play bastard and stab one another else cooperate with your commander as a man. I'm glad my platoon is often the latter. I have often seen how one platoon can change dramatically in term of performance due to the passing down of leadership roles and I'm satisfied to say I have done my role and the one who took over me is doing his.

I counted myself lucky during my entire NS period that people I have encountered are of good personality. NS has enable me to learn a lot of leadership skills. I'm glad the efforts I put in managed to reap some rewards at the end of the day.

As the saying goes: " all good things come to an end one day ". As the days loomed nearer and nearer to my ORD; life still have to move on eventually after 2 years. Hope we can manage to catch up with each other during our reservists day.
