22/06/06 - A Day To Remember.
Indeed it is! Today is my ORD date, and I have collected my pink I/C to officiate my transition into civilian life. The feeling of it is GOD DAMNED SHIOK AH!!! I woke up at 8 today, then dillydallied and left my house at 9.15, and reached Mandai Hill Camp at 10.15. I got Daniel to meet me at the gate so I wouldn't have to book in, to which he readily agreed. THANKS BRO!!!
We went up to OTS first so I could put down my stuff, then I had a short chat with everyone there for the last time. Jeremy wanted me to help ask whether he could collect his I/C today, and fortunately for him, the answer was yes. So I called him up and informed him, then waited till he arrived so we could collect our I/Cs together.
After we went to get our much anticipated little pink cards, we went for brunch at the canteen, where I got myself the 3 famous samosas and a cup of coffee from the drinks/snacks stall. After a bit of idle chatting, Daniel had something to do so he went up first, and Jeremy and I followed shortly after we'd finished our drinks and my samosas.
I was supposed to meet Sandra in the afternoon at Lot 1 for lunch, and during my brunch, she asked me whether she could bring a friend along. I was a little unwilling to at first, but decided it wouldn't do me any harm to get to know more friends so I agreed. I went up to OTS to slack around and MSN for a while, and at the same time look after the office because everyone had to go for an early lunch to get ready for a meeting later.
I left Mandai Hill Camp at around 1230, then went on to the bus stop while calling Sandra to tell her I'd reach Lot 1 in around an hour. The bus came earlier than expected, and the trip took less than expected too, which resulted in me reaching at 1250. I took a walk around Lot 1 to pass time, but there wasn't much to look at, so I ended up going back to the MRT station to wait after 15 minutes.
Sandra came shortly after, followed by her friend. Fortunately she was the chatty and friendly type. We had our lunch at the food court in the basement, and chatting away merrily. I re-enacted the story of last night's Incredible Tales to her, as well as an old Tekong "ghost story" that was pretty well known to every NSF, to which she listened enthusiastically.
I was feeling tired after lunch, so I decided to head on home to rest. Sandra and her friend were going to Bugis, so we went to the MRT station together, where we parted ways shortly after when the trains came. I had a cool refreshing shower after I got home, and decided to have a "photoshoot" of me with my pink I/C. =D
