A Tribute to LTC Ng.
I met my CO while I was heading for the mosque this evening. I was suprised to see him at the back of the building of Heeren. I was glad to see him smiling again. The last time I saw him, he was trying to hold on to his tears as he too bid farewell to everyone. So from the moment I saw him, I knew this could be a perfect time for me to talk to him heart to heart. I knew I couldnt waste this opportunity. Ive always wanted to thank him but didnt get the chance to. We had abt 10-15 minutes talk. How life has change within a short period of time. I felt that he was more than just a CO of 4SiR. He took well care of his men n commanders during his time as CO. He would do everything to defend his men n commanders when problems occured. He has all my respect in the world. I could remember his words that he said to me when my late grandma passed away while we were in Taiwan for the finale which is the ATEC. He was very supportive and was the first to tell me to go home and join back my family to commemorate the death of my grandma. I was reluctant to go home as I do not want to waste all the effort n hard work in the training that Ive put for the past 1 year. But it was his advice that changed everything. Yes I believe that family comes first ahead of everything. I've always priorities my family more than anything else. And I strongly advice u to do that as well even if ure not close as u used to be with them... My situation back then was so confusing. Maybe if I was in Singapore, it wouldnt be so bad. I knew what I had to do, but when ure thousands of kilometres away from home, still tryin to adapt to the foreign custom and preparing for the nx day of work, It was hard. Furthermore, it was coming to an end where all of us were having the same objective. Anyway I wish him all the best in his next appointment. May God bless him! Goodnight everyone.
