A chapter completed

18 June 07 marked the first day I stepped in as a Platoon commander. I still remember the first guy who made an impression with me was Nic. He was ranting and giving excuses on not attempting his IPPT and requesting for OFF for any form of improvement. There and then, I was like, wow, how come soldiers these days can bargain so much, am I in for a tough time. He became one of my most trusted and reliable soldier and friend.

Looking back, things just more than meets the eye for each and every person I had worked with. Jee Siang, the champion but really really too industrious soldier. Nic and Danny, the tag team video editing champs. Joel the another ketang of ANC who always have his last words in everything. Kelvin the adorable chap who never swears. Jason the over-zealous skirt chaser. Leonard the leonarpedia. 5 X crazy specs Weijie, Sean, KP, ryan and model soldier Ted. AK my problem solver who kinda like me, complains alot, but he does hella of a lot too~ Many many had left and I had the honour of serving as their commander. It really takes great pride for me to say that each and everyone of them, they have left a part of them in me and will serve as lessons and experiences invaluable and always in my memories.

Chee En, Lum, Zhen Qing have always been there for the company too sharing their valuable experiences and sometimes throw weight around hahah (rem go out control diet abit~) Nonetheless, with them around, my job has always been a breeze.

The specialist that reinforced the coy, the individuals which I really served through the most and got to interact and really know them personnally. Lin Zheng, the one who stole **M fancy, best friend of HS. He is the mild mannered yet stern enough to keep the prodigy of ANC in check, a feat incapable to all, for he is lz, the almighty and responsible logistic specialist. ZZ, you really is someone whom I would like to see more of your type of personality and character. You proved to the world that not everyone are asses, there is still hope, so rock the world with your music. Wesley, your single meal, kungfu yet geekish and incredible knowledge just leaves me with my mouth wide. I will never laugh at a geek again, unless I laughin at myself. HS needs a better maid, but he have the calibre to be the best.

Of course, Derrick, cant forget the counterpart who got the one and only DUO best soldier award. He and ZZ makes the best tag team partner~ seriously, I am super proud to belong to the only company which had the honour of getting the 2 of you nominated and awarded as best soldiers. If only I can put this in the Annual Feedback Report (AFR) but they will prefer more wayang things like being able to send up to 300 emails per day or chalk up 16 extras within 1 PC tour.

My best partners, Joesph, Roy, Junda and CSM, without your assistance and contributions, I am NOTHING!

I told myself that I aim to bring meaning to serving NS to my platoon of 30. Aint too sure if I made that mark, but I am glad I knew each and everyone and of course apologies for not including everyone. You have brought meaning to my life. thank you all!

I dedicate this post to Yan Lin~ my fiancee, for without her, I would have never grit on and believed in myself. Dear, you have accompanied me to complete this chapter, lets carry on to complete our legacy.
