Gleich wird die Zeit um...

Genau, gleich wird die Zeit um...Hallo ihr alle da draussend! In about 21 hours, i will be commissioned on the parade square at SAFTI MI. I can barely wait...time seems to crawl now but time flows without a stop, waiting for no man...so my time will come soon...that moment of pride and precision, coordinated drills. For once, we will be told to show off what we're made of and be proud of it!

And so many people will be there to watch us commission. I met up with Gladys today to hand her the passes and also to catch up a bit...She's cut her hair short...but still doesn't hide the real her...What can i say? She's tired, no matter how she denies it...the dude by her side also...hahaha...it makes me actually afraid of studying in university. Luckily i'm not going to be stuck in this depressing shathole called NUS. But it also warms me that after so long, we're still not aliens to each other yet...a sad thing which has happened to too many people. Well...she still dances and loves it like crazy, i figure that's good...something which you have passion to warm to...yet she works her head off. I hope my dear mei isn't like her...work, work, work without sparing a thought for yourself.

And also i'd like to shout a merci beaucoup to all those who remembered that i'm going to commission tomorrow...Ivy jie, mehmeh...and even to eme and jacque...i'm so sorry that you gals won't be there...i'd want you to see me there...and also xiaojun, for putting up with all my trash and in the end even getting people to come to the parade. For all you've done for me...words cannot describe...and to kah yee, my best friend...hey...wouldn't have ever made it without you...and thank you so much for coming!

Not so far in the future as 42 weeks seemed initially, i'll be marching into that spacious parade square singing...Singing a song we sang for what seems to have been all eternity, but never had any significance until now.

We come from many places, all across the land
From many different races, together hand in hand
United we stand, divided we fall
Ready to serve our nation's call

We come from OCS, we are the very best
Leading with dignity and pride
Wherever we go, we will always know
Our spirit is forevermore...

Loyalty to country is what we all believe
To lead, excel and overcome is what we must achieve
Forever strong and valiant, we'll give our lives and more
Never ceasing to serve Singapore

We come from OCS, we are the very best
Leading with dignity and pride
Wherever we go, we will always know
Our spirit is forevermore.....
