yang's commissioning parade!

since april, weiyang have been struck in Home Team Academy's version of OCS, after graduating from BMTC Tekong, as an Officer Cadet Trainee.

for nearly ten months, he trained and trained for the day where he can finally be a full-fledge police officer, fulfilling his dream as a teenager of becoming an officer during his National Service.

my officer in charger was kind enough to allow me to leave camp 1hour earlier than usual when i told him of my desire to watch yang's commisioning. thanks sir! =)

for the unaware, we've been friends for 11years and brothers for 10.

i went with his parents and girlfriend, sharon, together to the parade. waileong's, another friend of mine whom share the same degree of closeness with us, absence was dearly felt but due to work commitments was unable to make it to the event.

i have no wish to blog about the rather routine and mundane parade. what i wish to share with all will be some of the photos taken at the events!

enjoy!!!!

the empty parade square where all is quiet...

here comes the police officers who prowl the streets at night...

here comes the passing out officer batch of police inspectors!

yang is among them! =D

forming up.. everything must be swee swee...

typically late arrival of some VIP whose name

and appointment i dont give a flying-peanut-shell care about..

from young, he always needs help in figuring out how to open doors..

hormat! saluting the VIP as a mark of respect..

parade ready for inspection.. SIR!

the little buggy that runs down personnels who appears sleeply during parades..

the sword-of-honour winner flanked by two sword-of-merit wonners by his side!

HIM! sword-of-honour winner, highest achievement as a cadet,

was awarded to my RV friend! yong kang! =)

the March-past...

...signalling the end of the parade.

ALAS! the sky breaks and ensuing pouring rain disrupted the parade.

hence, parents didnt get the chance to present their sons with their new officer insignias.. =(

the police Sir and the military police Sgt! =D

nice conclusion! =)

it's been a long time since i feel so happy and proud of my friends!
