Update

Update

Strange name for a blog entry title, but I dun really feel like thinking of one=X

That's it. I have made the decision. I shall express interest in going to command school. Preferably OCS (Officer Cadet School) but also alright with SISPEC (School of Infantry Specialists) ; where I will become an officer or sergeant upon graduation. Some people choose to aim for command school because of the salary or prestige, however none of these is my main motivation for commandership. My reason is simple. Being a commander allows me to contribute and serve the country to the best of my ability; the very thought of protecting my loved ones gives me the strength to carry on even under extremely difficult conditions. People are always more than ready to take the easy way out: Become men in a slack vocation and "geng" (feign illness) to pass the 2 years. I have nothing against that, it's just that I desire to achieve the best I can in whatever I do:)

Furthermore, I have decided to accept the offer by SMU School of Economics. Wanted to obtain a business degree initially as it will increase my employability but I decided I want to do something I really like. Thinking of getting a MBA in NUS upon graduation before trying for the Big Four or any other famous financial institution in Singapore. Missed the Tea with the Dean session at SMU today due to late book out:( Gotta ask my friend for the details of the session when I book in tomorrow. I can't help but feeling excited to know that there is a possibility we might become classmates in university:)

Oh yeah, the pilot computer test was kind of fun. Certain sections of the test were like arcade games and others required INTENSE levels of concentration and EXTREME levels of multi-tasking skill=X Still gotta go for a pilot medical checkup this coming week and MP selection test. Many things are happening lately and I just realised that POP (Passing Out Parade) is only about 2 weeks away... Experiencing a range of emotions right now; both happiness and sorrow... Happy in the sense that I am about to complete BMT (Basic Military Training) and sad because I am going to be separated from my buddies... Gonna put in my best effort for marching and footdrills so that my parents can see me march smartly on the Parade Square on June 10:) Shucks, Harmoc concert on June 9 so its impossible for me to go... Comments from my platoon mates about NJ Harmoc always never fail to brighten up my day:) But I never tell them about myself though, except the fact that I was from Harmoc in NJ. Nothing more than that, because I value truthful and honest remarks...

All I wanna do is find my way into honour and glory=)
