Every Singaporean Son
Do take a look at the series of videos if you have the time.
Titled "Every Singaporean Son", a SAF - Public Affairs (PAFF) production. PAFF filmed this series of videos to allow parents to understand more about their son's life in BMT.
Ironically, after watching this video, i feel that my job is very meaningful. Even though I dont train these boys directly, somehow, i feel I have an impact in their lives. To them, its mandatory to serve their National Service, they "kind of" leave their future in our hands? Dont know how to describe....
If we make any mistakes, we will affect their lives. You know , you know... the kind of responsibility that we have..
The song "Every Singaporean Son" is quite nice too.
We were but strangers
Every single one of us
We were but strangers
Place together from the start
We were but strangers
And no matter who we are
We were but strangers
In the shadows that we cast
You are my brothers
I take you as my flesh and blood
You are my brothers
We’ve been through rain and mud
Take care my brothers
As soldiers we are born to be
Take care my brothers
(I’m) proud to be in your company
For every Singaporean son
Must serve his term until he’s done
And every single breath he takes
Comes a bond which cannot break
We’ve been through lightning, rain and sun
Now we’re back to where we first begun
Through walls of fire we once run
Forget your friend, you know I can’t
So come today my friend
We are one as we were meant
And come today my friend
United we all stand
But gone today my friend
We know that we shall all part
But gone today my friend
You’re forever in my heart
Through the years we have realized
Why we fought those battles deep inside
Let the world hear our stories
That we wrote with pride and glory.

how come so fast.....
Its Monday tomorrow!
How come so fast. i think weekends should be 3 days instead of 2!
My whole body is aching from all the packing today. Manage to clear some of my stuff and buy new plastic boxes to put all my BAGS. And i discover i still have 6 pairs of new shoes, unworn!!
Thinking of buying a new drawer from Ikea. It cost me $55 for them to deliver to my house, that excludes the assembling part. I am glad that my friend volunteers to assemble for me. *very contented* :)
I feel like re-painting my room too. Hope to get it done before Chinese New Year.
This gives me some time to procrastinate......
