Was quite impressed of the brightness and lighting of my images. Just look at the clear blue skies, it called out perfectly for a good passing out parade ceremony! Hello once again back to this site to update the back-logged events I had from last weekend.
On last Saturday, a few of us met together to witness Jen sin's POP. Even though im here for Jensin ceremony, not forgetting Abel ( my secondary class-mate) was standing among the crowd for his graduation too. Was pretty glad to be able to congrats him face to face and more elated to see him doing good in the camp.
This is the fifth time i'm here and as usual there are full of fond memories I have collected for every POP visit. The very first and really first was my Boyfriend's POP and to see him growing well from a small recruit to where he is in, that really make me a proud girlfriend. I would do anything to salute this kind-hearted man who served the nation well.
Not forgetting that he was there for his recruits and marched through 24km with them together. As one says ''One heart, one mind", with the determination they have, they arrived to the place safely and being able to throw their cap as high as they could. Happiness isn't the easiest thing to find, but one place you are guaranteed to find it is in a friend's smile. And that's where they find each other happy face.
The earliest birds met up first but of course both Andy and I were late and have to keep Nicholas and Jue Yu waiting. My intention was to arrive late because I knew that the beginning ceremony was a boring show and in fact they took really long to march in. Say no to sitting under the hot sun for long.
HAHA.
We were there at 8am and still, the long dragging performance kinda just started. I have seen the whole thing for 5 times ( tell me how interesting it is?) But not forgetting the cheers and tossing the caps up to the sky, that part was indeed touching.
Photo without Benson as he arrived late with his parents who were there to witness his Brother's POP. His parents came in at the last end and didn't manage to watch the front part. It was funny how Benson complained about his parent's lateness. Oh yeah, this guy is turning 21 in two weeks time (: Excited for him!
After popping by to wish Jensin, I rushed over to find Natasha to look for Abel together. Was glad that Natasha managed to rush over to the parade when she got to know that Abel is having his POP in the morning, What a good friend of Abel, she even starved the whole morning just to wake up earlier and catch a cab down to the venue. I will definitely not do that.
Caught the last few pictures before we depart with Jensin and went to have our breakfast together. A good job for Jensin for losing so much weight during the 3 months of BMTC training. From a tummy full of alcohol to a tummy of muscle. I know any guy went in will lose alot of weight and it really takes lot of determination to receive such result ( i hope I could be one of them too!)
Stay in this shape as always Jensin and congrats to your POP. Looking foward to your next unit (:
By the time we left the POP, it was nearly 10am and all the shops in the mall open after 11am. We were famished and in need of food. We suspect that all fast food restaurant would be packed with all the soldiers and really it was. Hunger kills us much and while we were scrolling through the directory, we found HANS nearby and time stated that it is open at 7am.
Food served was meh ): although it was at a reasonable price.The toast was so hard that you hardly need a cutlery to slice into half. While Nicholas was so interested in their carbonara pie, the turn out was so bad! Dry puff that was stuffed with creamy meat. It just doesn't go very well.
In all, Hans breakfast would not be a good choice for breakfast unless you are really dying of hunger and left with nothing else to eat, then maybe you may want to consider here.
Back to evening after Bf had a good ample of rest, we met up at our first dining place ( or rather the place that we were officially an item). Yup, he confessed to me and this place has already left a good note for the both of us. Everytime when I returned back to Chomp Chomp, I will remember the whole process of how he asked me to be his Gf.
Not like it was a grand one ( like he knelt down infront of me with 999 roses) but rather it was a simple and sweet moment that do make me flush whenever I think of it,
We were shocked to see ourselves sitting back to the same place that we last dined. The seats where the fans uncontrollably blew right infront of my face and my hair whacking on his face. HAHA.
After which, he was craving for Durian Mousse and we decided to sit down and have a bowl of his craving. This is really a good dessert. From a non-durian lover who sees durian as thorn in my flesh, I actually tried it and fell in love with it.
It has always been good to spend my weekend with him. Beautiful and meaningful spent with the love of my life (;
Till then.
