disappointed

Not referring to my results. The title refers to the 2 people that I look up to highly; one of which is my CT, the other is my warrant officer.


Initially thought nothing about my testimonial, until my friend reminded me that the fonts in it is ultra big. The worst thing is that it only occupies a page. Upon closer inspection, I saw that the sentences sounded weird.


"If you see me using big fonts, it either means that I am 'pissed off' (my own words) or that I got nothing to write about you..."
How is it that a handwritten card can piss off my CT rep so much, that he simply refuses to write about me after 2 years? Still pondering about either scenario (the latter is much better), which sounds incredulous at first. Shock slowly gives way to disappointment; at least I did my best..


The other person is my warrant officer. Always a welcome sight at Tekong, he is ever-patient and encourages us always. Though I was facing trials in BMT, he still took the time off to personally instruct me in my various tests. Am sad to see that one of the few figures, whom I regard like my godfather, takes up smoking. Doesn't he know that smoking shortens life, most smokers will die in agony? Hopefully, nothing will happen to him.


After BMT and RJ, I will rarely have the chance to meet the 2 people that I respect.

Sad to say, those are probably the last impressions of them in me. Time to move on.
