and the ceremony went on and on..
the march past.


(ok.. frankly speaking, i was very excited. woohoo~~~)

the men who came to pray for the officers-to-be. hahahahaha.. funny!


the part i like - the slow march.
here we see a very tense-LOOKING collin. (but he claims he ain't tense.)
i seriously wonder whats with his lips - permanent fixture throughout the ceremony.


putting it on.. woah.



collin, the cadet officer no more. his single gold bar and ticket to a $200 pay rise.


the caps were about to go up..


and it came down before i knew it. shite.. no in-the-air caps shot. =(



the people who came:

his parents.


his brother + bro's gf.


my pals, meng and fang.


his secondary sch's pal, ffc = friday football club.


his jc classmate, hongchoo.


yours truly.


look who i found - guannie!!


and the 26/02 (some) guys with the GPJ-to-be, jae.

oh.. i saw choonkee too but forgot a shot with him. and my camera had to die before i could take a shot with pengfeng. most of all, i missed a pic with meng and fang - which is like the stupidest thing since i was with them the whole day.

well well.. other than the s*cky indian buffet, i love the day. it's been so exciting - seeing collin commissioned and getting to meet many old frens at the same time.

allow me to say a big big..

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
*salutations*
