Going To ORD Lo!!!!

ORD to many esp. guys means a lot. It may means key to freedom, no more restrictions, no more boots and folded green top, no more waking up at 5.00am for exercise, no more moving from one place to another in marching style, more time to accompany loved ones or it may even mean a new chapter to one's life.

As one's ORD date draws closer, he may find happy, anxious as if time is a ratio of 1second is to 1,000,000 light years. Survey has proven that a non-scientific disease will infect a person regardless of rank, race or religion who is going to ORD within one month. This kind of disease will affect the person by changing the lifestyle he had for 1 year + 11 months. This includes waking up at 5.00am for exercise but victim of the disease will just sleep till the sun shine on their butt. Worse case, they may not even be at their workplace.

I for one is also suffering from this disease(My ORD date is 6 June and the date that i am typing this blog is 14 May). Pardon me as i had fallen into the one month period. Well, my ORD planner indicates that i had to turn up at my workplace for every Wednesday afternoon ONLY. This is the case of numerous duty OFFs accumulated through my PC tour. Lolx.

*Despite that, i still find myself busy with some final assignments. haiz.*

Alright, i personally felt that ORD to most will seems joyous and they keep chanting about how they are dying to escape. But i felt that ORD is just one thing that makes a person look forward and at the end of the day, once that person ORDed, he may feel joyful for a few moments and slowly the feeling of insecurity and what to do next will flood him and soon he may realise that how much he wanted to get back to army life. It might not be true to some but from what i observe, this is the case i seen.

Anyway regardless of what, ORD to all is still a joyous event and it definitely deserves to be celebrated. Cheers. HAPPY ORD.
