Blast From The Past – Proud Moment

Receiving the King's Commission from the Regent of Johor

This picture was taken on a Saturday, 3rd December. It was a proud moment for me. My mother was there but my father had to attend the Malay Rulers Conference in Langkawi then. My ex-fiancee was there too that day.

That very night, both she and I attended the Commissioning Ball. A week later I was back in the jungles of Perak doing Combat Survival, a month later did my Basic Parachuting Course.

Those were the days when I could run marathons, half-marathons etc.

Now, 35 kilograms later…..sigh…
