17th January 2015

On a Saturday morning, I attended Bf's BMTC anniversary ceremony. Instead of the grand ceremony, this anniversary was held at Yishun Safra which is really near to where he stays. 

I really love how they set up the whole event whereby you don't have to dress up beautifully and spend money on your apparel. This ceremony played a theme of "sports'' and there are different kind of sports that each army man could participate in.  

Those major or higher rank officers would bring their families along to be part of the anniversary event. Some officers have kids which are so adorable to play with. 

Boyfriend did not get a slot in the sports activities that was held on that day but we had fun watching his friends sabo-ed. The most interesting game that I saw would be this gladiator where two contestants stood on the stool and hung a big hammer to slap on each other.

 Whoever falls first will lose the game. I guess this required alot of good balancing. Imagine your competitor is as huge as a giant? Be prepared to get body slam by him. HAHA

Both boyfriend and I anticipated on what buffet food they have but in the end there weren't variety to choose from. Simple 6 dishes to fill our tummy and the food was meh... Perhaps only the sweet and sour fish is to my liking.

So lucky the event ends at 12pm and both us left the event earlier to avoid the human traffic.

Despite of waking up early, I thought I could get back home to sleep but then, both of us have a mission to accomplished. We attended Amanda's farewell dinner and was asked to be in the decoration team while some of them lured her out for Hai Di Lao. 

Boyfriend, myself and Jian Hao stayed behind at Seok hui's condo to do the decoration. Everything was well prepared, our job is mainly to stick on the wall to make it beautiful and here this is what we came out after a hour of effort. The man behind the job while me helping to stick the blue tack on the photos. EASY JOB!

HAHA, can't stop laughing when they showed me this picture of my EX- BF look. Just check out his pregnant look-alike tummy and this giggled me the whole afternoon. Priceless and valuable picture I have to black-mail him if he bullies me. But something to praise of la, a change over of him!

While waiting for the main lead to arrive, we have so much time to spare till the two men fell asleep while I have the time to wash up myself. The condo faced across East Coast Beach and therefore the wind is really strong and nice to fall asleep.

By 6pm, all of them returned back and we surprised her with a popper. She was stunned but did not cry! ( We expected some tears from her!) Hahaha.

Ended off the night with poker and Zi char for dinner.

Till then.

For the past one and half year with my man was all exciting and remarkable one. From the day he entered into BMT to his POP and then was admitted to OCS and lastly till the day he was posted to Tekong PC. It was a long winding road and I can't believe he was left with 8 months till ORD.

I never failed to attend all his events that his company host. From my best memories that I had was his social night and I really enjoyed exploring around his camp (SAFTI). I was considered fortunate to be able to witness his commissioning ceremony ( not many people get a chance to though!) and being a proud gf of his when he stood upright infront of thousands audience.

Just last Friday, I was invited by him to attend his BMTC school 4 anniversary, yet another dinner event that I have to tag along. From what it seemed like a fun event, I'm not anticipated and would frequently checked on my handphone hoping that the clock striked 10pm. (can't wait to head back home)

Nevertheless, I pulled through the whole programme by enjoying the food that were served on the table. The food was adequate enough to satisfy my tummy but wasn't that 'SUPER SHIOK' meal that I had. The whole programme was scheduled for prize-presentation whereby some of the outstanding officers would receive their recognition from their Encik/ OC. Some were honoured to receive a long term contribution from the Encik too.

Some preview video were played on the screen of their whole journey in OCS. It was a repeated cycle of what I have seen during his graduation night. There were games going on but no one seemed to be interested in their games as they were busy goofing down all the food on the table. I'm glad that they were understanding not to involve the ladies in the hall as I would be inconvenience for us to walk about.

Everyone loves photo booth, so both bf and I queued up umpteen times to get hold of the photos for our souvenir. We even pulled over his friends to take pictures with us. In total, we brought back 5 photos home. HAHA. I guess we hit the highest among all. We definitely love the props that were arranged for us and also we appreciate the photographer for putting up his good photography skills on us. Every picture taken was a bonus!

 Initially everything seemed so mundane but when the whole event is coming to an end, the highlight for that night surprised us with a 'FAT' lady who they hired. She is an external entertainer who brighten up many events. I couldn't get hold of her name if not I will elaborate more of her background. Once she entered in, everyone started cheering for her while she sang a Chinese song and sashaying down the red carpet with funny actions. You can even caught her disturbing all the men on the floor ( kissing, hugging, touching). No harm given! Its just for laugh!)

I would have video down the whole programme but I was seated right at the back of the hall. All I could say that she is a good entertainer. At least the ending wasn't bad! We had a good laugh!

With all the mishaps of the whole programme flow, the whole event was delayed and therefore we left the ballroom at 11pm. Though this dinner was not as grand as all the previous events that I had attended. I still enjoyed myself at the last stage of the show. Not forgetting the photo booth and my partner who stayed with me through all the night.

Thanks for having me as your partner ( though you have no choice but have to ask me!) HAHA. Anyway, this pretty sum up my Friday night.

Till then.

The day every lady is counting down to especially when you have an officer boyfriend.

I could remember how his social night was a big feat, watching him march and looking all suave for his commissoining parade was remarkable too. The finale was still his commissioning ball, which officially marks the end of his stay in OCS, 9 months of sweat and hardwork, I guess he deserves a round of applause. Of course for myself, picking a dress, hunting for matching heels and bag was what that occupied most of my mind! The most regret was not heading to the salon to hair-do my hair and also to paint my nails ( rushing like mad to prepare after my work) as you can see my teary weary eyes.

A 4-course menu was served on that night. Literally thought that it would be a buffet style but fret not, its fine dining style ):

After paying $350 for this ball (definitely burnt bf's pocket!), we expected something decent to wolf down for the night. Not like the food is not up to a standard, its actually food prepared Jamie's Italian resturant. But can't they be more generous to our food? So small portion!

Appetiser was served first with court bouilion poached tiger prawns with rocket leaves, passion fruit caviar and raspberry drizzled with walnut vinaigrette.
