edward's commission

i can only think of one incident that i was so freaking proud of myself and he was too. that was the day that i received my A level result. i remember that very day, i was crying even before i queued up for the result slip. i think it was mr mooi (my form tutor) who made me cried. he said something to me which made me thought that i flung my A's. edward, my beloved brother, saw me and i really had no idea what was in his mind that day. he queued up and got my results for me. he was the first person to see my grades. all the while i was so scared and i got a little panicky i guessed. when he teared and jumped up in joy for me, i knew i made it through. i could see pure happiness in him even though it was only my result, not his. he was so proud of me. we hugged and both of our faces were wet with tears, especially mine.

and today, it was my turn to feel so FUCKING PROUD of my brother. when he marched in, we kept searching for that black small face. everyone looked the same on the parade square with their number ones. when we thought we spotted him, theresa took quite a number of photos only to realise that it wasnt him. when finally we caught sight of him, my mom was just overwhelmed with a mixture of feelings. me too. i almost teared. i swear to god if i was there alone i would have cried for him. when they stomped their feet, it was like WOW. man... they were great. when he sang the ocs song, it was my turn to be overwhelmed. i could not be any more proud for him than anyone else, including myself. for a minute or so i wished it was my commision. haha. there was this part when parents and friends were asked to go to the parade square. parents had to take down the old rank( i donno what that is called, you know the one that soldiers put on the shoulders) and put on the new one for their sons. the last time when edward was in tekong, none of us went because it was a friday. his dad was working, mommy was taking care of junkai and junior and i was in school. so no family member did it for him and his sir had to help him. it was like how sad. this time round he had his mother to do it for him. anyway... my mother was shivering lah! walao eh... donno for what?! she was taking a damn long time removing the button and putting on the new rank... she couldnt even slide the thing in... so i had to help edward with the other one. by the time i finished, my mom was still trying very hard. it was then i realised my mom's hand was kinda shaking. haha... so funny lor. theresa took quite a few shots of me helping my brother with that. and it just happened that one of the photo had the sunlight shining damn fucking brightly on his face... it was like THE MAN WITH HONOUR. though i looked like shit in that particular photo... it really doesnt matter :) after that we had dinner with the president and of cos other officer cadets' parents. the food sucked. but i'm just glad that i was there for my brother.

it was kinda funny that for his commision he had 4 females supporting and cheering for him when others had, you know, fathers, brothers and other male friends. so we called it the girl power. haha. so next week he'll be bringing theresa to the commision ball. walao the tix was damn fucking expensive. $125 per tix which means that he paid a total of $250 for a dinner in a 5 star hotel.. i forgot which one is it.. $250!!! if i top up a bit more, i can get 2 front row tix for bsb concert.. speaking of which i am going to get the $70 ones. i saw the seating plan. eventhough its the highest seats, i'd still be able to see them perform. so its ok.

so back to my brother... besides paying for the ball tix, he's planning to sponsor theresa her gown! walao eh.. how come i dont have?! i have to get my own dress lor. and my mom got me this set of jewelry for this coming d&d. how nice. just because im going with a guy. damn her. speaking of which the jewelry is still with theresa... and i told edward to get the gown from perfect in black. my favourite. the best boutique to get a dress. my friends thought that i was out of my mind when i bought this top, which only consists of a piece of thin black cloth and a string, for 80 bucks. haha.

i'd post edward's commision's photos once theresa has them burnt in a cd. before i end this post,
let me say this...

i'm extremely proud of my brother.
a gentleman and an OFFICER.
he's definitely a good catch.
damn theresa.
