what my pop speech would have been

good afternoon, Mr lee ,Ms jackie cheng ,teachers , cis, squadmates and juniors
i thank you all for being here today.
your participation in our humble ceremony means a great deal to my self and my fellow squadmates.
today, my speech is not about all the grand occasions that we have gone through.
it is not.
those , have been mentioned and reitterated time and time again.
Frankly, i do not remember all of those occassions anymore.
but what i do remember, is the stench of body odour as we are hugging each other during our camp, hiding underneath an all-too-small poncho.
i remember back in secondary 2, when we were in pumping position, being scolded by yuen long sir..
i remember the days where we would debate on wheather to skip trainings .
i remember the times when we would mess up, and laugh about it.
to me, these important occassions mean lesser to me then these small , little things.
how we have grown.
like steel , under intense heat from our seniors.
the " hit-against the anvil occassion" when we feel like giving up, and the guy next to us says" hang in there.."
these i remember.
for today.
it is not our last good bye.
it is our last see-you-soon.
it may be the end of our journey.
yes it is the end.
but that does not mean we must forget.
about the times we polished our boots.
about having our faces splashed with flour.
no. we will still remember them.
we may have fought but we have always made up.
you are the ones i will treasure.
the ncc air may be a gold unit but to me, we are more than that.
we are a family.
and i would not have wanted to go through this journey with anyone else.
..
you have taught me much.
we may all have our faults.
but together we are strong.
i believe in us.
so to all, see you soon.
