Dr. Wee K.W Last Journey.
Back in camp, heard from the new spec tat he kana arrowed to go to Dr. Wee's funeral.. i was quite surprise.. cos i din't noe our unit oso got to go... seems tat our unit every event oso wan join...visit this visit that .. -.- . I envy of him coz he got the chance to go.. but from the tone of his reply, he dun really wan to go.. coz go there do sai kang.. and will last until night time.. ha. I asked him can go anot.. den after the lunch i got the answer: "u will go". YaY. I dun really mind saikang or stay until quite late.. cos i think its an honour for mi to attend his funeral.. and an experience too..really. Think this will be the first and last time for me to witness the last journey of highly respectable man.
On the day itself isn't good, becoz of the heavy downpour. It started after we have finish uploading the stores to the 1.5 tonner. It includes 21 cartons of mineral waters, umbrellas, rain coat, black arm bands etc. Quite Heng. But juz when we abt to move off, it started to rain, heavily. Ha. here comes the fun. U noe the structure of the 1.5t. filmsy and is covered by the big flap onli.. best thing is the opening part of the hmm..rear space isn't covered.. so as the opening at the tail board. Few seconds b4 we move off, I realised the deep shit we (mi annd another guy) is really in. When the vehicle moves, the rain confirm gush in from the front opening. wa lan eh.. We quickly tried to put up the front flap, but was too late as the vehicle started to move. argh. The situation is not tat bad until we move out into the main road. We tried to tie up the flap on the sides but the center top of the flap got no hole for us to secure it to the frame. wtf. la. We were all drenched. But my partner is more wet. hez crazy. He stood up and hold up the flap against the metal railings. But no use as the rain still rushes against him. + the sides of the tonner and the top got some lobang, some water leaked and dropped on me.. sux.. Oh ya.. to shied myself off the rain, I switch from using the flap to cover my head to the board which shows a map. Of course it is wrapped in telt*. hehe. im smart :> But when it reaches the highway, the strong current of wind against my direction almost blew the board away.. I have to use my body weight to fight the wind.. ma de. gr chi ji. tmd sad case.. fark the tonner. Lets move on.
We reached mandai cremantorium. We unloaded the stores and proceed to the hallway to set up the stores.. gs table and bench. Arrange the mineral waters... Now den i noe we are sentry here.. ma de dono got chance to watch the process anot. There, i saw a female captain.. qutie cute. ^^ the female full version of no.3 is nice. The rank, instead on the shoulders, it pinned on the collar of the blouse.. a squarish golden color 3-stripped badge. so kewl... + the hat.. dono how to describe.. like fishermans hat but the side folder up. There were alot of big shots there. Army RSM, and a warrant whose no.1 is occupied by badges and more. wudi. Scouts were there too. Got a few cute gals... argh~ the scouts were in red and green berets.. red.. commando ? -_-. RSAF, NAVY, CDO were there too, in their no.1 , with their rifles. Wat catched mi in the eye is the bayonet. The blade is crystal shiny. tatz so kewl. The rifle strap oso white color... oh ya, and oso military band.. their no.1 sibeh wu seh.. ranks big big + shoulder to some decoration.. so many things nv c b4..
The ceremony starts. Dr. Wee's coffin has arrived. We watched the ceremony afar. Camera and video man took actions. Commands shouted, soldiers executed 'hormat'. The coffin was carried by 4 no.1 men and put on the gun carriage, which was puller by a rover. The 4 men marched in step and borded the rover. Lets go into details. 2 men step up the rover, in the same pace and timing, den turned and face each other. The last 2 men followed the same. Den at the same timing, the 4 sat down. Army.. all abt the same timings as usual. The band begans, after the commander wielded his 'staff'. So.. the journey begain... NOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo
