Memories

As I stood there on SAFTI parade square, on the 19 April, I was so elated.
Finally I'm an officer!
The day when I was back at home, I was excited about my life ahead.
Now having men under me, this rank is less of pride now.
Is more of responsibility.
8 more months to ORD.
Having this mixed feeling before I book in.
Even though life is good now, and things are going well, sometimes I feel that I want to leave this organisation fast.
But life after ORD definitely's not going to be easy.
That's why they say "You never stop being an officer."
Even as a civilian, that's the thing that I will bring away with me.
Sometimes I feel like I have a lot of things to share with my men.
But everytime I want to, I forgot what I want to say.
It's these kinds of memories that are so vague in my mind but yet so important in life.
Every time you get busy in life, you stop thinking about life.
You stop reflecting.
And that's bad.
I'm always glad that I remember to reflect upon my own life.
And that would be moments I blog about it.
Instead of looking forward to my ORD date, I'm going to make the best out of these months.
And end off this green journey with a blast.
And that will then be the time that I will say that I've changed from Ah Boy to Man.



Suddenly thinking about how life was before enlisting.
And how life is going to be after ORD-ing.
Hence this post.
SO MANY THOUGHTS.
SO LITTLE TIME TO REFLECT.
BOOK IN LO.
