Dedicated to my NDP NPCC Contingent mates
"after today, all of you will be nothing but memories" Wei Ju
It's funny how we hope for a particular this particular day to come by so badly, that when it comes, it just feels that everything passes by so quickly. So before you know it, everything that you were hoping for to come by, did. Only to know that whatever you wanted in this day will soon become memories. Then we'll cry and lamet when all's over because we're humans and possess this thing and touch called emotion. After all the reminisce, we'll finally settle down, but still, always remember what we went through and hope with all futility that we can experience it all over again.
and so therefore i told my junior today that not all who wander are lost. then i reflected on how fruitful this year has been. the many "lasts" that i finally experienced, which i have to part with. the last time wearing the st patrick's blazer. the last time wearing the npcc uniform with the "st pat's" formation sign. this is all for now but there will be more to come...
The journey in st pat's
Sec 1: a typical "gangsta" kid in class. always fought. got probation. thought it was the end of me. so did teachers. always "keng" npcc. never appreciated my intelligence.
Sec 2: a typical slacker in class. gotten better. only fought once. started going back to npcc. beginning of the age where i start to lose my friends cause of my commitments.
Sec 3. a leader that was born under pressure. many camps. had hell cause i took over the unit with only 4 ncos. more camps. the road to loneliness. broke up with fa.
Sec 4: a stalemate. conflicts with the squad that i took once they gained power. clash of ideals. i broke down infront of teachers
Sec 5 is a special year. the year where i finally and truly got to learn what i really had mistakened for so long. learnt things that i never knew i could. learnt to detach. learnt that lies are the things that actually kills all that you have. learnt many things. learnt that although friends are great but you can never really depend on them in the long run because the only people who truly cares are your family. learnt how to appreciate my friends. learnt to appreciate smiles. learnt to appreciate all that i have. i learnt how to truly enjoy.
after one moment with you, i now know what it is to truly escape.
You must do the things you cannot do. you have the power to do good, so why not use it? anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to so, but hold to it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart; is true strength. commitment is important to a leader because it's all that and more, because the people are counting on you. cadets may forget what you said, but they'll never forget how you made them feel, so what is it that you want them to remember? if power is all that you want, then ask yourself, if this all you wanted? is this all and is anything missing?
i'll never forget how i told you guys all these quotes
