As mentioned in my previous few entry here, we were "recall" back by our unit to receive our "Best Unit Competition" medal and also to celebrate early Christmas with our ex-unit which we spent 1 year with.
We met up at Boon Lay MRT at 4.45pm. Unfortunately, there were only 4 of us, Joel, Eugene, Wee Hian and me. Ray and Justin could not make it due to their work commitments. Da Xuan don't know why don't want to come. Jeremiah just touched down from his Hong Kong Holiday trip and could not make it. Thats about all of our family.
We proceeded to get a taxi to SAFTI's Army Museum, thats where the celebration is held at. Upon reaching the place, we saw lots of familiar, also unfamiliar faces. Coming out of the lift, we immediately saw our tall and easily recognised CO who always carried a smile. We held conversations with lots of our ex-BC, 2IC etc before proceeding in to receive our medals and to catch up with our specs and men.
Soon, it was time to say goodbye but we know it won't be the last time then we see each other because we are going back to camp next year for our CO's Change of Parade. I don't know why but we seems to have so much feelings for our ex-unit that makes us naturally wanting to go back to see them when opportunity arises. Credits to the CO for making our ex-unit to develop such a special and close bonds.
Knowing that the celebration did not cater for dinner, we went to Bugis to have a steamboat buffet. We walk round and round before settling down for dinner at Chuan Yi Pin, the steamboat buffet directly opposite Bugis Junction (Across the street). It cost $17.40nett but the food ain't very fantastic. Definitely not worth it though it met our objectives. Imagine the feelings of hungry we felt from 6.30pm to 9pm before finally able to put something into our mouth.
