Apologies for the poor lighting for this photo, photoshop down and i can't edit. My army company had course closing for a batch of trainees we handled over the past 2 months. Fortunately, the video Jonathan and i made for them bring back all the memories of their sweat and tears. Heartwarming i would say. I'm a sucker for these touching moments. :)

Earlier on, as i march them out of the camp for the last time as trainees, I'm actually smiling in my heart; to see them come such a long way. My army life so far has not been "camouflaged" into the background. Ironically, i experienced a lot of colours; people from different walks of life, each unique with their own abilities or problems to deal with.

My family would nag at me if they found out how much my camera cost but they will never know how this trusty camera captured the smiles, tears, sweat of many which money can never buy.
