Today was my organisation's zone presentation and inspection. Things didn't go as i wanted, after long hours of rehearsals the inspection parade has to makeshift for the wet weather. Instead the parade was downsize to only the GOH contingents for inspection, many have expressed their disappointment but no choice the heavens doesn't want it. Still learn something from planning this parade, hopefully next year still got chance for me to plan the parade.
My SJ's Warrant Officer's rank
SAF's Warrant Officer's rank (Master Warrant Officer MWO)
Hmm...so i'm equivalent to a MWO? My one got laurel under the coat-of-arms leh!
SPF's Senior Station Inspector rank
Hmm...it seems that i'm equivalent to SSI? Hey this one also has laurel, like my one!
Also, i have receive my first medal in my life during the presentation! Let me introduce you to my first medal, this is known as 5 years first aid efficiency medal, presented to members who has service for at least 5 years. Members joined as a cadet will have to achieve 7 years, cos one cadet year is only considered half-year, so my four years in secondary school will only count as 2 years. Hmm...wait something is wrong, those who know me knows that i'm not so young as to have only graduated from sec sch for only 3 years. Yes you are right, technically you will receive the medal after 7 years, but pyhsically it took me 10 years to receive this medal. Wa biang 'ohh-dang' me for an extra 3 years, my coming Long Service Medal i'm gonna make sure i receive exactly when i'm qualified, which is two more years. Ok below is the picture of the medal, ribbon, and the minature medal.
My SJ 5 years medal!

Today woke up earlier than usual, cos today is my cousin, Fay's 'guo da li', so went over to her place to witness the custom together with my parents. Reach there quite early, only afew cousins had reach (That Ah Long still can tell me he reaching at 10 plus...), around 11 more people came and the place starts to get crowded but hapiness was in the air. btw lots of good food were around to entertain us too, Fay's mum cooked quite a variety of food, especially the chicken wings.
Fay's 'si dian jin' was technically not gold lor, it was diamond lor, i managed to get a glimpse of it while the rest was crowding around to see. Didn't get a good look, but according to those who have seen the thing said it was beautiful.
Also bcos almost all the cousins were around, someone suggested we re-take a photo when we were still little kids, i guess i was only 2-4 years old bah!? Anyway the then photo was took when we were seated on the steps of a staircase, which was the one outside my grandparent's house. This time we took it out the staircase of Fay's place, this time the steps of the staircase was narrower than last time. Anyway we took some time before we got settle down to take the photo, but too bad the photo wasn't taken by my handphone so cannt show you guys, but will get from the rest the photo!
