Ytd was the best day (besides on the day of ORD) of my ns life. Together with my squadmates, we finally commissioned at HTA. However, it didn't go well at the start coz it was raining super heavily. Thankfully, the rain died down and the parade commenced. In the midst of taking photos and enjoying our new burst of life as senior officers, we all couldn't help, but reminisce about our past 7 months as OCTs.
I really didn't know what to expect from my course right at the start. I thought it was just going to be a grueling course that will force me to exert myself to the max. And my mentality was to just 'chiong' the whole trainings and endure whatever was thrown at me. However, it was the forging of friendships that made me think about what I have been missing since JC. It was my squad 2 that showed me time after time that unity helps build bridges over troubled waters.
After 7 months working hard together with the squad, it reminded me of the different groups of people that made an impact on my life such as the 31st Students' Council, the most bonded Games Comm from SCIP and my class CG12/07. Different groups with one common name: Friends. The 50th batch of OCTs really was a fun and mischievous bunch of people. They taught me the brighter side of ns.
Today we had to book in to clear our bunks and return our uniforms we used for parade and dinner. Before we left HTA, we were all having mixed feelings. Happy coz we do not need to stay there anymore and go through anymore trainings. Sad coz we will no longer be seeing everyone together. All of us going our separate ways to different divisions. After 7 months training together, I guess it's normal to feel that way. I hate this kind of feeling. Like you are beginning to know your friends and getting used to their characters and stuffs then suddenly it's time to leave. It's the same feeling as I have felt for the 31st sc, games comm and cg12/07.
Someone told me this: Acquaintances are many, but true friends are hard to come by. This really is true. Are everyone I meet going to be really true friends? Overtime, ppl tend to drift apart. I often say this: Ppl just come and go, but true friends stick together till the very end. So who are we going to be in the future. Friends or acquaintances? I thought of another phrase: Acquaintances say hi and bye, but friends say how are you doing....
Right now, I just wish there was more time for all of us (50th batch) to get to know one another well. But I'm glad I got to know each and every single one of you. No joke. Thank you 50th batch. Thank you squad 2: Aaron, Junyu, Kim Lung, Firdaus (magician), Ghafar, Mark, Elijah, Feng Shou, Freddie, Fadhly, Fai, John, Wong Li, Dinesh, Murphy, Mohandass, Brian, Ranjan, Nazri, Ian, Fendi, Ryan, Fifi, Mao Sheng, Kenneth, Dishi and Timothy James for being a great company and crazy pple to hang out with. Furthermore, thank you guys for enduring my lame jokes for the past few months. HAHA. But hey, the jokes really distress you all right? hahah... To the 50th batch, I salute you all with pride!
Keep in touch alright? Until then, have fun and all the best in your respective divisions. See you when I see you....take care!!
We shouldn't say goodbye coz it's merely farewell. Till we meet again Squad 2...
