4:49 PM 3SG CHEONGEE. WHAT A JOKE.
11.49pm
as much as i can't believe it 4.5 months after sislack, i'm FINALLY. a 3SG. what a joke. its nothing much la really. sergeant not very big. but at least i get $900 a month now (:
POP was okay la not much actually my parents couldn't come cause of my little sis's ongoing psle. so i got other ppl to come instead (: at the expense of their inconvenience la. ya but then again i treated them to a great feast of free flow food at the reception, so i guess that abt evens it :D
with mummy and daddy.
parade itself was quite sian actually i thought the 40th anniversary one was more cool cause got all kinds of vehicles and 1 x apache helicopter in the middle. this one just got our cui ultras and leopards and BXs. drive in, march out, hormat for the VIPs who can NEVER all come at the same time btw. must one by one walk in then we must hormat for them like 029348029384 times.
our pathetic fleet of 2 leopards 9 BXs and 6 ultras.
then award for those boy-yonet holders and then this imba long speech by the chief of armour THEN the donning of rank. which is like the main thing la the rest is just filler activity zzz.
ya both of them walked like the whole length of the parade square cause marcus thought i was orion de then walk and call out my name damn long so i put on my rank first to take photo with leonard. then in the end reach liao she demanded that i take it off so that she can put it on and make her journey's worth. and i'm like okay so its my fault that they took such a long time to walk like 20m.
ya then the 14steps thing and (ANOTHER) hormat then recitation of specialist creed which is like o.o everyone suddenly got rank liao damn enthu like shout out the creed like that la damn loud never before in my entire 5 months have i heard such noise. they recite that time i was like wtf is going on and of course i just diam diam and whisper it out la 'i, overcome adversity with my fighting spirit 7 day mc.'
and then after that is like kelaur baris and drive past and then while ppl have to like stand straight and look smart during the drive past, me and leonard go into the veh immediately take out our pre-prepared drinks and celebrate liao. :D:D slack shit ppl.
ya then go back rush to send all the rifle and signal stuff and then it was like CAMWHORE TIME.
1 x bayonet holder + the 3 slackers wee jie jiayi me leonard.
and this is the closest i'll probably get to the bayonet la. with weijie and my buddy jovin. who's the ultimate slacker btw. and jiayi and leonard randomly in the background.
and with tikopek and lokky my fellow armour signaller.
ya and mj was in a terrible rush to go home so couldn't get photos with my all time favourite staff daniel. and the other staffs and enciks la for that matter. but heck care la i can't really be bothered. i'm not gonna be seeing (or needing) them anymore.
BYE BYE ATI. NYEAHHHHHHH.
haha but i'm quite glad with how it turned out la. initially i thought AI was like xiong to the max. turned out its slacker than infantry so yay (: helps that i'm in a slacker company and i got nicer enciks and staffs. and really very nice batchmates. so yea hahah i'm happy la. i really like our company quite a bit actually. even though i complain a lot heh. thankfully we're all going 40SAR. according to jiehao its the slackest armour camp on earth. so yay that's really good. (: we're taking monointake ptp recruits on dec 11. which means i got 2 months of lull period which means 2 months of slack. hahaha yay for 40 slack armour regiment. :D:D
POLARIS COMPANY. yea marcus i'm not from orion. i'll just die if i were there la. because cider is the elixir of life
