I am now "officially" as termed by weiye that i'm a "lao chek" and no more encik, cos yesterday AGI i received my service medal from the order of sj. The medal is awarded to members for servicing ten years, twelve for me cos cadet years is only counted half. If you want to know more abt this medal juz go google or yahoo it and you can read all abt it from any website cos the medal is the same thru out all sj in the world.

The Service Medal of the Order of St John (above).

Someone asked me why there is a girl (lady) on the medal? Then i told him is Queen Victoria not any girl, then he replied back i thot shld be Queen Elizabeth (btw there is two Queen Elizabeth, and assuming he is refering to the living one but either case not relevant). Wanted to explain is bcos Queen Victoria granted the order of sj royal charter but i think i'll hav to explain more wat is royal charter, therefore i juz answer back with something simple.


A pic of me at AGI after i've received my medal.

After this i hav to spend $$$ on mounting my medals, that's the bad point for receiving medals. Maybe they shld include free mounting and this time they din give us the ribbon so hav to buy too, aiyo going broke liao leh!
