As I conclude a chapter of my life, I reminisce about a journey filled with friendship.
My sojourn in Jurong Camp, a whirlwind of hard work, hearty laughter, a sprinkle of bitter hardship.
Through my days I slogged and strained.
No matter glowing sun or pouring rain.
My Company backed me up to be brave, whenever situations become grave.
Server work is a pain, but learning it is a gain.
Store work is even worse, but I never treated it as a curse.
Install OS, backup server.
Treat that laptop as your lover.
Crimping wires, laying lines.
Doing manning till Anson whines.
Counting stores, doing stock take!
Who said they were ever a piece of cake!
Battalion PT, running man.
Go to conference room set up LAN.
Though we seem relaxed when having lunch, during exercise we pack a punch.
These things leave the flesh weak, but the spirit willing.
In the end we leave with a bittersweet feeling.
I am grateful for what NS has provided me. I will not be the man I am today without the overwhelming support, joy and hardship I've shared with my platoon mates and commanders.
I am sure the experience, IT & PR skills I've gained as well as the friendships I've forged while serving NS will serve me & many others for the rest of our lives.
Thank you very much. A new chapter begins...
