Hi dear.
Just to give you some tips if you manage to go thru' the next round of interview for the SAF Combat Medic Post. You have seen for yourself as in my case. I started in the army by having 2 'O' level only. That was about when I was 18 years old and they offered me to became a Section Leader (Now A Specialists). I grabbed straight away and signed to become Army Regular for a 6 years contract. On my 5th year, I served oversea assignment in Brunei and I was given monthly allowance of $1.4K on top of my regular monthly pay. On reaching my 6 years contract, it convinced me enough to sign for another 6 years. On serving the 7 years, I got married to your mummy and also managed to buy a 4 room flat at Yishun. At that time my pay has already reached $2.4K. On my 8th year contract I was promoted to 1st sgt followed by SSG to next 2 years. By then, I have decided that Army is for me and I was offered a Premium Plan that will see me thru' until I reached 55 years old. On finishing my 12 years service, I was promoted to 2WO. In year 2000, I applied for a Diploma course in INFOCOMM Multi-media. I also got my driving liaisons thru' SAF. You know about my health situation...I was on MC for close to 2 years and I was fully paid with bonus and all. My medical expenses been borne by SAF also. Till today, I know SAF been given me that support.
I just want to share this with you it is not because I want to propaganda SAF, but these are facts which I think YOU should know. SAF let you grows as a person and make you strong in characters. It develops you as a team player that also can be independent in your work areas. Again you can also chase your aspiration to go as high as you want to go...Of course there must be sacrifices along the way. Like time management, day off and freedoom of friends and company. Hey! but all these are not really life and death situation..What are importants that you can manage to have a life path that are comfortable with satisfying careers. I Hope you will have some ideas on how to transpire these during the interview and I sincerely want you to consider this. If you want to chat on this...you know I have some difficulties with my voices and I don't really want it cause I don't enjoy it like it used to be.
Love Dad.
Thank you Daddy. I dont know why. but I tear-ed upon reading that. It's dated sometime back in August last year and (because this email was sent to my old account) I only read it recently.
I'm done with nursing school. I don't know what to think of that except be thankful, and apprehensive. Despite wanting to be one, I'm not even entirely sure I can be a good nurse. I'm not even too sure if that one or two specialties that I want to persue would give me a satisfying career in the near future. Right now, I only have ideas, yet ideas are but illusions until they can come true.
Anyway, i've decided NOT to go with the armed force (just yet) although the pay is quite a bomb or whatsoever. my heart's settled to do nursing in the general setting first. get the foundation experiences before persuing my studies probably in 2 years time? I did ask for A&E department and if I got that, probably my next step would be joining the SAF. We'll see how it goes. For now, Alhamdulliah, my application for CGH has already been accepted. Im gonna sign the contract this coming Friday and start work perhaps in May. That being said, I've got 2 months of holidays now. So gonna enjoy while it last (:
Alright, before I end; here are some overdue snaps from PRCP days. I'll certainly miss wearing that uniform, miss everything that has got to do with being a student in fact :(
On a lighter note, what I feel like doing on the upcoming days, to go for a movie buffet. Hopefully a cheap one with multiple platters! *hint hint* ((:
Lots of love, Nin.
