Andy's POP!

Andy POPed on 10th December 2008! hahaha

On that fine weathered day i attended Andy's Passing Out Parade together with Annabelle and aunty!

Guess who i met while queuing up for the bus! Shuang shuang!!! my man tou jie mei!

We sat at the top deck of the ferry!!! super windy and shaky can! Actually it was super windy the whole day...

Shuang and moi...super windy~~~

Familiar sight!

When we are finally there, belle and moi started testing our cameras, checking which scene will be the best etc etc...it was a pretty long 1 hour plus wait.

So we took pictures and enjoyed the wind!

I look super white beside annabelle....haiz

Then we spotted little soldiers marching nearer! can see...at the back there...Anywayz, everyone became really excited! "lai liao lai liao...." kept hearing that! haha

After about half an hour...they started marching in!

From all directions!!!

Settling down...Andy's in K company...the company that's already ready at the back!

Everyone ready!

Then....they started doing stretching...quite funny though, like after all the manly marching.

Still stretching...i took a video of them stretching! Still think it's kinda weird and funny...i know soldiers needs to stretch too...but it's just, when i think of soldiers, i tend to think of them running, throwing grenades and hidding behind sand bags? or crawling on the ground....

After stretching, they look normal and slightly more manly

Then come the arrival of the guest of honour...the lady in purple

After walking around the whole parade square and inspecting everyone, she began her speech

And while she was doing that AT LEAST 6-8 people fainted! no kidding man, everyone was more interested in seeing the medic carry people away than in her speech...once someone faints, the medic will run there and the crowd will go "wwwooaahhh~~~again there there! another one! tsk tsk tsk"

Then when someone is "rescued" the crowd will clap! hahaha...and the lady will be still speeching her speech...everyone was thinking like how long is she going to continue talking...the soldiers buay ta han already! They started preparing at like 3am and begin marching 24km!!! all the way until the parade.... (oh the above 2 pictures you can see 2 people being carried away)

When she's finally done talking, the parade continues...

More marching.......

Here comes K company! We've been trying the spot Andy the whole time!!!! we thought we saw him....but turns out, all our guesses are wrong. They all look so alike!

This last guy looked damn tired and small! hahaha

The band!

Then they assemble back at the parade square again, but without their barangs...and parents are invited to go down to the parade square to look for their sons and put on their hats for them!

So we went in search for Andy, and found him...damn shack standing down there...poor thing!

Then auntie put on his cap for him!

Take more pictures!!!

Another one

And another one!

Andy and his friend...

Then everyone gotta go back and they've gotta assemble.....all infront to get ready for the cap throwing ceremony! hahahaha i got it on video man....pretty nice! shall do some screen grab and post them here next time.

This is after they've thrown their caps....hugging and jumping!

Then we're suppose to wait for them to get the refreshment for us....wait for another like...30 to 40 minutes? or longer....

Check out all the parents....damn excited!

Finally finally....it's andy's turn! can see him there...haha doing a "twist"!

Written all over his face...tired tired tired

Our refreshments are here!

Look!

Still quite tired.....

Smile..... :) :) :)

Took some pictures with Annabelle while waiting for andy and his friends to figure out how to pose their photo....talk about girls being slow and indecisive huh~~untrue.....

Enjoy! and try to spot andy :)
