it has been more than a month since i last blogged! so much happened during this period..
i will start from 2nd june.. Army Certificate Presentation Ceremony (ACPC).. it was the day i officially received the certificate of appointment as an SAF officer and the officer's sword.. it was followed by a dining-in at SAFTI Military Institute's cookhouse! the food (appetizer and BREAD) was alright except for the steak.. it was SHIT~!
but still.. it was a good day for mi.. the sword with my name craved on it look so beautiful! the day could have been better if i was allowed to book out on that day.. i almost wanted to slp hugging my sword!
commissioning parade rehearsal resumed the next day..
parade rehearsal went on and on.. the School Sergeant Major (SSM) continued calling us swine, cicada.... saying that we're suffering from "saicosis". (our head is flooded with shit and it is overflowing) but i think SSM is a nice guy.. tough but kind.. haha
i finally commissioned on the 10th of june 2006 as an SAF signal officer! even though we trained real hard for the parade.. it was real SHIT! the drills were screwed up.. people remembering the wrong sequence of the parade.. the slow march was outta timing.. it was simply terrible!
but still it was one of the greatest night in my life.. after 9 months of training.. i finally got the bar on my shoulder.. the night embarked a new chapter in my life.. the transition was quick when suddenly someone called u "SIR" straight after the parade..
the first day of officership in stagmont camp was awful! haha! with that black bar on the shoulder.. it gets kinda uncomfortable when u start doing the wrong things.. but it also gave u power in like.. maybe visiting the canteen during ur freetime? haha
got saluted the first time at the training hub of stagmont camp by a corporal.. haha! if u ask mi.. it felt great.. i felt like im king! hahaha!
spent the next couple of weeks in stagmont doing some troubleshooting course.. finally got to jurong camp on the 21st june 06..
my first day in 3 signal battalion was spent cleaning up a real dusty room.. and those posted to 3 signal with me wasnt those that im really close with.. and it happens that i kinda dislike some of them.. i think it is because of our different working method..
anyway.. unit induction program (uip) sucks to core because we still have to walk in steps to everywhere we go.. we have to ask permission to go to the emart.. its so damn stupid..
but every sucky thing has an end to it.. just last monday.. we got our long-waited turn out.. running up and down doing change-parade.. meaning changing into different kinda attire.. running around the parade square dunno how many times.. taking out and putting in our field pack items in 1 minute in/out.. doing approval of plans.. that was for the morning part..
in the afternoon.. the uip officers played a soccer game against the other officers in 3 signal battlion.. and we manged to win the game 4-2! eventhough we were freaking shag.. eventhough we had only freaking 11 officers.. and everyone have to be involved.. we pull through against the odds and made it! haha!
in the evening.. it was my officer mess initiation.. i became miss cecilia lim, the miss saf 2006.. wearing terrible lipstick and 2 plastic BREAST, with a terribly ugly looking pink hairband! i dun even dare to look at myself on the mirror.. but i know i looked horribly SEXY! hahaha! i danced with sathest, the bollywood star.. sexy indian dance.. shaked my butt to the max! sang a little of "come what may".. and got proposed to by 2 horny homosexuals! haha!
anyway.. it was down to drinking again for the mess initiation... drank a few cans and a few mug.. a few + a few = a lot.. got really high after it.. finally got my appointment after all the drinking.. puked inside the mess and sorry eng koon have gotta clear the mess because he was the only one that din drink and was really sober after so many cans of COKE.. opps! hahaha!
woke up the next day feeling shitty and giddy.. no longer an uip officer.. im reborn!
but after the actual appointmet.. now i know that being an officer is not the end of all shit.. it was the beginning.. nothing had ended.. the fire had just got bigger.. but im ready! TO LEAD! TO EXCEL! TO OVERCOME!
