Kansas
Oh, I have walked in Kansas
Through many a harvest field,
And piled the sheaves of glory there
And down the wild rows reeled:
Each sheaf a little yellow sun,
A heap of hot-rayed gold;
Each binder like Creation's hand
To mould suns, as of old.
-Vachel Lindsey.
Hihi!
Went to HTA yesterday after my ED revision class. Went there and was lost, again. The place is damn huge! And the worst thing, there is no signs to tell people where are they. Well, I finally ask a Senior Station Inspector for derectiong which he is not too sure of himself too. In the end , we asked another person and finally got the directions. At the door, there was a note that says "HTCC Store". Once I walked in, the guy in it called me SIR! haha! I'm just a Cadet at that moment, or should I say Recruit, with no official rank! haha! Well, later he clarified with me that he was suppose to greet all the TO's SIr or Mam. haha! Protocol, Welcome to the world of Uniform Group! aha! As I go into the Store, the first thing I notice is that the store is like 10x as huge as the NPCC Store which I used to go! Whoa! Huge! You can see all sorts of equpiment there! MOstly uniform! haha! I then went straight to fit my uniform. Got 2x Shirt, 2x Pants, 1x Beret, 1x Jockey Cap, 1x Belt, 1x NCDCC CLT Shirt, 2X Socks, 2x Garters, 1x Crest, 1 pair epuallette, 1 pair boots. The boots were like made from Kings safety boots! Whoa! And they were super comfortable! I tried them on and there was cushion in the boot all around your leg! It's like 10x more comfy then SAF combat boots! Whoa! I think it's 20x more comfy then NPCC parade boots! haha! Siang Choon was there too, and we talked quite abit, long time no see! haha! HE told me taht the man and women there choosing uniform took a very long time, from the time he came in till we were there and still have not finish choosing the uniform! hahah! WE just got our No. 4 on that day and our No.3 will be specially made for us during the course. Yea! After we finish collecting the uniform, we were brief of the requirements of the turnout of the uniform, on how is should be ironed and starched. WEll, it's all too easy on me. haa! Guess I know to much? ahaha! Anyway, after collecting my uniform, went to Joel house to look at them swim. The journey there on MRT was painstaking! It took a whoping 38mins to go from CCK to Toa Payoh!
Once I reached his house, waited for them to swim finish and bath finsh and we met Shao Hong at the gate before proceeding for dinner. IT was fun, but we really talked quite alot, again. haha~
