[Life's like a box of chocolates...]
...you never know what you're gonna get.
Take last week. I didn't want to go for the Armour Family Day at Sentosa at first, but ended up having a great time while I was there. Our ORD function was held yesterday evening at Suntec City, and being without a date and not going to ORD till December, I didn't feel like attending at all. It felt dull, and a waste of my time.
But fate had other plans. While I was in the washroom, my name was called to go on stage to receive an award for Best Soldier. I came back in time to hear them announcing the winner from Support Coy. When they announced my name again, I was there to receive my prize.
The "trophy" was kinda cool I guess. A track pin, and a coin/medal thingy. The back of the coin has these words inscribed:
"The recipient has displayed outstanding performance in his course of duty. Hereby enrolled as a COIN-BEARER."
Kinda weird....But cool. :P
Anyway, the ironic thing about all this? They spelt my name wrong! Yeah....Just one character, but it's still wrong... :\ Also, the coin box has this inscription, "40 SAR 6th MONO INTAKE". I wasn't from the mono intake...Oh well.
So this has been a real neat surprise. But the best is yet to come...During the lucky draw, my number was drawn for the 4th prize. A DVD player/hifi which can play almost everything. :D
It'd have been a perfect day, until our ex-PC got drunk and blamed himself for our platoon-mate sniffing glue and ending up in DB. It's probably the alcohol talking, but it was weird to see our ex-PC sorta down-and-out like that.
