ACPC

ok... acpc refers to the Appointment Certificate Presentation Ceremony.. this is wat all officers to be will have to go thrg lah..its a realli grand event.... we got presented with the sword by the chief of army with all his numerous badges and stuff! and he was damn nice... he greeted us by name when we went to collect our swords.. so it was quite a nice thing.. but we were all in our no.2 which was a white tuxedo.. haha.. looks very lao tu... and it makes us feel very uncomfortable because we have to maintain the "highest level of decorum" which means u cant run or slouch or talk loud or slouch or greet ppl in informal manners and u cant slouch.... dotz...

then after the presentation which took like a great 3 hrs cos we had like 400 over cadets.. haha... we had dinner.. some fine dining kinda thing where we had to eat in the most gentlemenly of manner... u noe the ones where they have a million forks and spoons on the table and then they teach u which spoon to use.. yah.. that sorta thing... its was pretty uncomfortable cos there is this dining orderly that was goin around trying to catch people who didnt follow these regulations and decorum... but the food was fantastic... there was like this smoked salmon and a huge prawn for appetizer, followed by the clam chowder and then there was this beef steak.. oh gosh.. it was great sia... fantastic! and we were served wine and port wine.. and u know those ppl whose face like grows red super easily? yah.. i realise ocs has a lot of them.. i had a fren who's face turned purple!!

then after that, we went to the cadet's mess to mix this OCS spirit which is a combination of a lot of bols... if anyone knows what that is... haha... it is made up of:

1. the red bols: the color of blood which shows our unity..
2. the blue bols: as a tri-service institute
3. the green bols: for the army
4. colourless: for the purity of virtues
5. vodka: for the punch and strength
6. the gold bols: for the premium institute that OCS is as an international school.

it was a nice night abeit not very fun, but finally, we are that much closer to commissioning... finally.. after the long 6 mths... so long it has been.. it was so long ago that i posted the last blog... and today, i stand here, a little changed and a lot happier... Ciaoz
