Finally, the day has come. 15th March 2006.
My sis told me, "What's the big deal? Pink IC only what." A female friend asked me, "What's ORD?"
Well, girls will never understand. True, huh guys?
My pink IC was forcefully taken away 2 years and 2 months ago.
Now, we are finally re-united!
Amin to that!
I miss you old buddy. You have a new home. My wallet. No more cupboard for you, bud.
You will always be close to me. Well, at my butt... but close to me nonetheless.
I was so estatic from the moment I stepped onto the island just now. My two buddies who were also going to ORD with me, Haikal and Irfaan, must have really felt like giving me the sock the whole day. Haha...
I was nervous when I got back my IC. In fact, I didn't realise that I had gotten my pink IC until I saw Irfaan's expression when he saw my IC. I couldn't stop smiling since then. It has returned to me, baby!
Haikal was wearing the same shirt he wore when he enlisted 26 months ago! How symbolic was that! (he never failed to remind us again and again, 5 times actually) And since he doesn't have a blog, allow me to help him share this piece of trivia with the world!
And I managed to take pictures with all the big shots in my school (unit)! See them here. I took pictures with my RSM (Regimental Sergeant Major), my CO (Commanding Officer), my School 1 2IC (2nd in Command), my very own companies OC (Officer-in-Command) and CSM (Company Sergeant Major)...
Sigh... I miss Tekong island already.
I'm never getting onto another fastcraft (ferry) ever.
Come to think of it, I am never stepping onto the island again!
Before I go, here is an excerpt from my journal which I wrote on my first day of my enlistment.
"Fear, anxiety, lethargy, excitement,
How should I feel?
I did not have time.
It was rush rush.
Replace IC with army card.
Oath taking.
Dinner with family.
Family gone.
Meet new platoon and section.
Company ~ Scorpion.
Get new stuff. Army stuff.
Shave head.
Close. (mummy, good night)" - 16th January 2004, Friday.
That was 26 months ago. Today wasn't rush rush. It was the opposite. It was slow and easy. I was finally free.
ORD LOH!!!
