Wat – doing – Me – Singapore!

This is probably my last post before I head back to Chennai this Sunday. I had come back to attend my parent’s wedding anniversary as well as my brother’s commissioning as an artillery officer in the Singapore armed forces. It was my dream once to become an officer, but despite all my efforts I could only make it to be a specialist.

My brother and I didn’t quite get along we always had something to fight about. But when it was my brothers turn to enter the army I had only one advice for him, and surprisingly he listened. “you might not have the best scores in your studies, but what we have is our fitness, if you can channel all that into making in to OCS (officer cadet school) then you prove that it is not all just brawn but brains too.”
1 year on, he made it. And after rigorous training in Brunei and Thailand he is now an officer. Now during my reservist if I were to see him in uniform I have to salute him. (Yes I have to salute and greet my younger brother, cos when we are in uniform, we are not civilians.

I dedicate this post to my brother, and my proud parents and relatives. 2008 saw me graduate, my younger brother an officer and my last brother is taking is O’level exams (10th public exam) this year, as the papers will be sent to Cambridge university in the UK to be marked, results will only be known next year. Hopefully the three brothers can score a hat-trick.

Whole of Singapore is gearing up for the first eva night F1 Race. But I am not bothered. Maybe when I watch it on TV I might like it. Maybe because of the huge price tag for the tickets to watch it. $1000 for the seats and $300 to stand around the tracks.
