am i happy or am i happy?! haha~ it has 2 years and 2 months since i last saw my pink i/c, and now it's right in front of me! no more terrible waking up every morning to the words of "ser-di-ya" or "se-nang-di-ri"! i feel good~ da-da-da-da-da!

but seriously, to be honest. i feel kinda weird. i felt far much happier on my last COG parade (which coincides with the last working day of my NS life). today was like a day that passed without much significance.

woke up later than i intended and rushed down to the camp, knowing some of the personnels may be involved with the SAF day parade's corp-of-drums. met ryan on my way up the blardy hill to the white house and saw maswan and the group of band a ppl doing pt. and i waved to them happily. finally, it's the day, i told myself.

so, first signature to get for the day: cpt johnson lee. learnt he's in the canteen so i took my time wandered about the place, going to hq, learning razak's in canteen too, and finally decided to go band a office to slack. saw joel goh and whats-the-french-horn-guy's-name in there, and hell i dun really wan to chat wif joel goh. prayed that johnson lee come up to office real soon, and he did, zipping into the office calling out to me at the same time, saying he only got 5 min to spare. *gasp*

next: warrant razak. heard that he's waiting for me in his office and that he's rushing off to the SAF day rehearsal. *argh* ran all the way into the hq and he's standing there in his office looking quite stressed while he's staring at his own appointments board. "er, morning sir~" and then he beamed at me. *GASP* first time in my own entire NS life he smiled at me! wow~ and he motioned me to take a seat while he signed my papers. "all the best!" he said, and it sounded very sincere. wow~

next: cpt philip tng. i tiptoed to outside his office and stared in. yup~ he's there. he looked busy with his paperworks, damn. could i disturb him? i asked chief timidly before chief answered me yes in a very why-did-u-ask? manner. *knock knock* and i went in. chit-chat chit-chat. sign sign. done! YEA!

last but not least (i dun really like to use these four cliche words. wut does it mean exactly? who coined this phrase? why the hell is this phrase so popular in singapore?): chief. "Zhengyong, sorry, but gimme me 5 mins!" she exclaimed when i approached her. *ops* she's in working mode. thru out my 2 years in ns, i learnt something abt her. she's very nice, but NEVER DISTURB HER when she's working. she can SCREAM! ya, i did see her blow her top before. it was very scary. anyway, i jus walked away politely and continued bitching wif zhengguo, weixin, arthur and ssg tham at the hq duty table.

and then. "zhengyong! come come!" YEAH!!! and so i collected my pink i/c. chief did some alterations to my 11B card and gave me loads of papers: certificates la, one copy of the clearance form la, a booklet la, etc etc. and so, uninterestingly, i'm officially civilian.

arthur pulled me into a piano room to record a song. then i went off to look for wenjing for lunch. played a couple of game of "tiao4 fei1 ji1" at the smoking corner before i said my last good bye to the white house and nee soon camp.

and that's it.

ya... nothing special. no significant event, except razak smiling. er... ya.

until now, the feeling of ORD-ing has yet to sink in. mmm~ still, i'm happy to see my pink i/c and how young i used to look. HAHAHA~
