You are posted to OCS (ARMY WING)
Your vocation is OFFICER CADET (CBT)

So. MINDEF has decreed that I be trained as a combat officer. Man oh man oh man.

Woke up this morning to almost simultaneous calls from Maurice n Enjie asking where I had been posted to. The feeling I got when I saw the posting was when I was made OC of AHSJAB: Elation followed by severe agitation. Except in this case, elation remained for only 10 seconds instead of one afternoon. Now I'm left feeling kinda apprehensive!!

I think its the side effect of all the PCs n Sect. Commds in BMT going "This is nothing! In OCS [insert worser case scenario here]" yadayada... Still I guess if other people hadve got through it, I can too... And if I get disrupted (IF I go medicine), then that'll be a bonus... Otherwise I'll just slowly plough my way through the fast marches, the Brunei Jungle, the field camps, the tekans, turnouts and all the remaining rot... and 9 months will expire in time...

Hopefully, I'm just having too many pre-conceived ideas again...

I guess I am kinda honoured that out of so many I have the opportunity to be an officer (in time!), and I guess it will build character, but the commitment... whoa...

Meanwhile, have gone back fencing one last time, gone back to SJ one last time too, maybe the last time in 9 months, to share my experiences of having taken part in NDP 2002... Really hope the cadets will take up the opportunity! Its really a life-changing experience in itself haha...

Also went out with a number of fencers to watch "Music and Lyrics".. Shaun-Paul, Cynthia n Kimie... N they're all in Malaysia with Jon Boon for the Malaysia Open now... sigh really envy them... haha maybe 2009 then I'll go again... Anyway the show was quite nice.. Quite a simple and improbable story line but it was still quite a sweet show, and the songs were really nice haha..

Alright anyway shall stop here.. Am praying that all goes well and I will be able to cope with whatever physical and mental trials lie in wait...
