38 weeks later..

This blog of mine is probably abandoned by me ( till now) and most of its readers in the past but i shall just type an entry here for the sake of passing some time.

It's really getting quite boring in the army. i'm quite sure it's alright to disclose this that i'm going to be commissioned as the 67th batch of officers on 15th december 2007. speculations are that president nathan is going to be our guest of honour and that it promises to be the grandest of affairs, with overseas guests, ministers and respectable guests from various sectors of singapore.

well well. i've got quite a lot of thoughts about the 33 weeks that have passed so far. unforgettable. unforgiving. inspiring. gruelling. tiring. painstaking. sickening. satisfying. there's probably a list of inexhaustable adjectives to describe every moment of the officer cadet course that i've proudly been a part of. not much i can comment or disclose about what we do cuz everything is supposed to be kept secret nowadays and u can be charged for disclosing the wrong information.

2LT Royston Phoon. 1 black bar on the shoulder, a mountain of challenges and responsiblities awaits. okay, it might not be so bad. hahaha. whatever will be will be. despite all the hoo-haa about officership and how much that black bar means, i guess we all have to bring ourselves down to earth once in a while and remind ourselves about one of the most important virtue-- humility. as wang hao's msn nick states " lessons in humility, i doubt i'll every graduate". there's always someone better than us or more superior than us in some way. we shd TRY not to get complacent and conceited. definitely not as a second lieutenant.
