So I took part in the Commissioning Parade recently. No, I have not commissioned as an officer yet, and the journey is still a long and arduous one ahead. I was a junior ensign in the parade, taking over the SAF colours from my senior. It’s supposed to symbolize a handing over of traditions and bla bla bla to the juniors, thereby preserving them.

So anyhow, here’s a shot of the junior colours party before marching off.

So anyway, I have a photo of this on my sticky board and my brother’s girlfriend very ‘tactfully’ pointed and went, “that can’t be you, he’s so fat!”

And yes, that was actually me. Thanks eh, Sam.

So yea, go ahead, spot me.
