Good bye encik

My WSM (Wing Sergent Major) has just passed away recently.. Went for his wake at yishun. Saw him in the coffin.. almost couldnt recognise him at all. Could see how disease has taken its toll on him. Despite the short notice, most of us turned up for the wake. We paid our respects and talked about him. About how he always tried to cover up for our mistakes. He only punished us when he had no choice (pressure from the above). He was a great WSM, always looking out for us. Come to think of it, most of us last saw him during our commissioning parade. In fact, I had totally forgot his name until my friend told me that it was our WSM in the message.

His last words to us after we commissioned: 成败聚散，自定古理。(Your success or failure is all up to you). Good bye 1WO Tan Tai Khoon.
