SOL

Getting Charged is an experience you never forget
Flashbacks
The Fear and the tension whilest awaiting punishment
the minute sense of relief with the receiving of the charge

The Punishment was Light
Thankfully
went by uneventfully
filled up my days with the internet and gym
the end of it marked the final Lap of my days in the SAF
finally the cry "ORD LO" is no longer a distant image
but one fast approaching
I'm All set and ready to go
Clearence - Checked
FFI - Checked
IC Collection - Akan Datang

Hong Kong

My First Family trip in 11 years?
Traveling as a Family is way different
More scheduling, More Compromise
Slower Speed
but the perks were the Free Shopping and Food
I Would fly to HK just for the Food
Not any fancy fare
just the Cha chan teng Staples
simple dishes which satisfies all ur senses
I miss it already

ORD LO
