One month to ORD~!

After 2 yrs and 3 months of serving the nation, I am proud to announce that I am finally going to ORD, in a months' time, in case you have been on mars all these years.

"Huh? ORD? But I haven't even enlisted yet!"

Too bad, ORD LOH! Enjoy your stay on Tekong or whatever 'paradise' you are in.I guess I am obliged to exult at this point what an experience NS has been, what good things I have learnt from it but (for those who have gone through it) who's gonna believe me if i do so ... i shan't.

I'm one of those who've been in the same camp throughout my army days. Hence, the thought of impending ORD is a bittersweet emotion. The same thing as graduating from school where we'll miss the good friends and the fun we've had. But the excitement that a new phase of our lives loom ahead of us.

So, in a month's time, I will report to Camp for the final time as a soldier, and leave as a civilian. I will leave with the pink IC, something I had not seen for 2 years and 4 months, which in turn symbolises the most precious seven-letter word in the vocabulary of soldiers.

FREEDOM.

To those of you from my camp reading this, past and present.. i'm sure we will meet up somewhere along the
way in future..

To those of you still in there... all the best. Endure and enjoy. Your time will come.

To those of you who have not went in... good luck. You'll surely have a better time than your predecessors, what with 2 years service, 5 day working week...-- 30 days to go --

One more month to O-R-D
Loo-la, o-Loo-la,
One more month to O-R-D
Loo-laa-loo-laa-lei

No more guard du-ty, No more ex-tra-du-ty
No need to see my En-cik face
Loo-laa-loo-laa-lei
