Reunion
Finally decided to pen something down after the last entry, 10 months ago. Somehow felt the need to type out the words for myself to see what my inner thoughts are...
So... aye, how to start... Okay to summarise, I had been busy at work for the past months. Looking back I'm entering my 2nd year of grad studies and effectively a Year 6... Age is catching up, heh. Always wanted to pen down something but somehow that didn't really materialised. However I did manage to keep some records of my activities via Facebook status updates...
Anyway just to record what else I been up to for the past months; went for 2 ICTs (1 HK in Mar, 1 LK in Jun), the next HK is in Nov and looking forward to it. Flashbacking back to the ICT in Mar, it was the first since Dec 05. Though physically the buildings PLC didn’t change much (aside from the new SISPEC buildings), a lot has changed, and I was having some problems trying to keep up with the new acronyms used. Still it really felt like a family reunion for me when I return to the greens, especially to when I step foot into PLC, my former second home, with my extended family from the Force. This was my first time in 5 years that I entered LCK training area, took a ride on a 5-ton, put on my (old) long No.4 with the old webbing. I was rather ecstatic and excited, as I boarded the 5-ton and entered LCK training area. I took out my map, compass and GPS as I tried to recall whatever local knowledge that I had on the ground. No doubt five years was long and I lost quite an amount of local knowledge but everything seemed to come back seamlessly once I was at the ground. One thing’s for sure, 3SG (NS) Lionheart has returned and I was mistaken as an NSF on a couple of occasions, until I took out my pink IC, heh heh. Haven’t been using my “skills” for quite sometime and I’m really “gian” to use them, even long after Endex.
Sounds crazy? Yes I am crazy, probably because I am en route to getting a Permanent Head Damage (not officially yet though). Nevertheless, it was indeed a family reunion, to see the familiar buildings, environment and of course my family. It was a great indescribable feeling when I met a lot of my former regular colleagues and superiors during outfield, despite everyone being posted out. I was pleasantly touched when I saw my photo collage that I done 5 years ago still existing and it was hung up along the corridors of my wing line. I bumped into my former colleague and some of the current staffs when I was looking at the photos and it seemed as if I just appeared by coming out of the photo. Heh. Well, somehow I don’t know what stories they told about me… Though till this day they called me the Legendary AWSM of NS wing, I would just say that I was just doing my job. Though I ORDed 5 years ago, it still felt just like yesterday when I stepped into my former wing line, wearing green. Yesterday once more, really it is a bittersweet feeling. Sweet to be able to relive in one of my happiest chapter in life; bitter to know that it only lasted for two weeks…
