5th of December 2006 - The day I graduated as a Private. I will always remember.

Today, I got news of my posting.

It was as expected, although not the one that I wanted. I was, to a little extent, down.

We had our platoon gathering at Marina Steamboat. Everyone had loads of fun simply having dinner, chatting with our bunk mates and playing pool.

Then Sir gave a piece of advice to us, which I think have really brought me to another level of maturity.

I guess whatever that was given to us, we should accept it. We should too give our very best and endure the pain that, undoubtedly, is going to come to us, whether physically or mentally.

Just like the yam-seng we always do. I will always do my very best. Gotta live up to it.

To all my platoon/bunk mates, we all went through tough times together. we all made it. looking ahead, to many of us, we've got a greater mountain to climb. let us all do it once again. be it with or without the same mates we have. what's important is the journey. let's all enjoy it and not sulk about it. we will always do our very best!

To my commanders, you all deserve all the credit that we are here. i could not think of a better idea to thank you guys enough. but, you all have been great. respect.

i shall not sulk. we must all pull through.
