7 days to comms parade.

why do you want to be an officer?
that's a surprisingly hard question, considering the number of leadership workshop we have sat thru. Honestly, if you ask me now, i can prob give you more vocab on leadership than any other qualities known to man. truth is, i dont know what i see at the end of all this. I watched band of brothers and examined the officers in the show, winters, spiers, buck, dive. Then i looked at myself, asked this cruel qns "if i am put in that situation, which character will i resemble?". I guess if ever theres an answer to it, it will be a cruel ans.

On a happier note, i have received my sword. My dad seems to like it, he took it out a couple of times to admire it already.

That aside, parade training is really tough. When the number of days left can be counted with your fingers, each finger finds itself having a hard time bending to signal the passing of a day. Haha, i just mean that days are passing slowly.......

.........it'll all be over soon.

i dont deny that i am a cynic, however, some speeches that i have heard in camp (during any ceremony) recently really made me felt moisture in my eyes. Looking back, i cant even imagine myself going thru the same training again. I think about brunei, thailand, mandai, tekong, sada, simpang, endurance course, graduating march, gpmg trench, socjoc, BK, TBI, TBII, TS and.....*sigh*.....

......Then usually, at this moment, i'll think of the officers' creed, ocs song, we are one song, etc. I must admit, if there werent a purpose behind all those hardship, most people wunt find the motivation to pull thru....

"as we go marching on, we sing this melody, we have to strive on to victory" -- thats my fav line

I apologise for the emo entry but i guess 1 is better than 38.
