I don't think I can sleep until I get some things out of my chest. So here I am, typing this at 3a.m. in the morning.

To the Sec 4s:
Well, you guys are the first squad I have ever taken as a CI. I still remember the scoldings and punishments I gave to you when you did something wrong. Actually I was browsing through the reflections you guys did in Sec 1 just a few weeks ago and it made me think back on those hot afternoons 3 years ago. Pumpings, push-ups and more 'KNOCK IT DOWN!'. Throughout your NPCC journey, I'm sure there are tough times, especially when you get punishments from me, but there are also great times when you had lots of fun. The tough times were there to test your mettle and those who were not worthy have already been long gone. For those who proudly passed-out today, you are worthy. I really hope that you will think back on your time in NCHS NPCC fondly and remember the fun you had there. Good luck for your O levels. =)

p.s. If you want to take a look at your Sec 1 reflections, I still have them and I can show it to you. But no returning to you. It's for me to keep. =)

To the Sec 3s:
Hmmm... I still remember being your squad CI in-charge when you were in Sec 1. What can I say? I've seen you guys grow from blur cadets who can't even do their Sedia properly into NCOs today who are TEACHING others how to do Sedia. I think that there is still a lot of untapped potential in each of you, so do not think that you are NCOs now and you can stop learning. Instead, you should start learning more and at a faster speed now so that you can guide your juniors properly.

Anyway, thanks for the wonderful ceremony and the VERY OBVIOUS prank to make us think that we don't have gifts.

To the Sec 1s and Sec 2s:
I am sure that there is going to be much tougher times ahead of you, but like I told the Sec 4s, it is a test to test your worth. So my advice is, stay strong and grow into great leaders for the future generations.

To the CIs:
Thanks for being such a wonderful and dependable team. We will always be the best. I believe that you guys will inspire more people and lead the Unit to greater heights. =)

To the TOs:
Thanks for being so supportive of my crazy ideas and suggestions and for taking the effort to clear your schedules to help us conduct our trainings. =)

To the Unit:
Within each person, there is a seed of unbelievable potential. Whether to nurture that seed and let it bloom, or to neglect it and allow it to wither away is a choice that we all have to make. I believe that the CIs and TOs can bring the best out of you, so trust them, do as they say, and let them lead you to greater heights.

I will treasure the times we had as a Unit and the bonds that we formed. Good luck to all of you for your exams and all the best! =)
