Guards Night last friday.
no.. i'm not guardsman. and i did not attend.
did marshalling -.-
and that night was one of the most weird feeling night for me. (in these 1 year 9 months)
that night will be the last time that i would see my encik.
He'd flown off to australia for exercise, and i ord before the exercise ends.
he's so far one of the best superior in bedok camp, he had given us much freedom and welfare that most soldiers would not enjoy during the nsf term.
of course, he shielded most punishments for us.
i witnessed the promotion of him from master sergeant to warrant officer.
i witnessed him doing the sai gangs personally when he had one whole lot of man under his control.
i witnessed how the arrows shot directly to him by some higher ranking officers.
i did not witness him abusing his power as HQCSM
i did not witness him flaring up at anyone (actually my colleagues saw it before, but that day i was on leave ^^)
he gave me a deep handshake and bid me farewell.
i didnt expect that he would remember that that night would be our last meeting, given his busy schedule.
the feeling was, indescribable.
Thank you, Warrant Loh.
