I don't know if what I'm doing now is correct or not,
Or if it will land in the grey area of what's right, and what's wrong.
Nonetheless, I feel that I'm obliged to say what I'm gonna say next.
Before I get started, I'd have to caution everyone that,
You might not agree with whatever that I'm gonna say next.
In fact, at the end of this, you might be cursing me,
Because you feel that whatever that I've said, is totally wrong.
But in my heart, this, is how I feel.
Here goes nothing.
2 years ago, there was this group of people comprising of 11 guys, and 19 girls.
This people came together by chance,
But what they shared for the next 3 years,
Was the fruit of their labour, their sweat and tears.
They were really enthusiastic,
Really passionate and were really driven
To make RVNP, the best that it can be.
They look up to their officials, proud as they can be.
And now, up to 19th April 2009, 2 years later,
The Drive seemed to have disappeared.
The Passion seemed to have been engulfed by the night.
RVNP, seemed a far-fetched term that is impossible to be achieved.
RVNP, far from what it is, many years ago.
I know that there are some of you out there,
Who feels that the NCOs are incompetent.
And many times, we have actually dissed them,
Be it in private or in public.
I know that we think RVNP is going downhill,
And that each batch after each,
Is getting from bad to worse.
But think about it,
Doesn't that make us part of the vicious cycle too?
Deep down inside each and everyone of us,
There is this little flame of hope burning.
Hoping that we will excel,
Hoping that we will bring RVNP to greater heights.
Actions speak louder than words.
Rather than crying about how our squad isn't what it is 2 years ago,
And complaining about how much you hate everything else,
Why not we actually take action?
And for those people,
Who feel that your competency can surpass that of NCOs,
SHOW IT THEN.
Don't just say it.
Bear in mind, what you can do to others,
Others can do it to you.How you treat the NCOs now,
Might be how the juniors will treat
you.
I also know that many of you knows what happened on Tuesday already.
But that doesn't really matter.
It doesn't matter where your opinions stand,
And of course, it doesn't matter what your opinions are.
Put yourself in the NCOs' shoes.
Think critically, about how they feel,
And why they act this way.
There
must be a reason for their actions.
I'm sure of that.
And we, might even be the reason.You've got another think coming,
What does the word,
Respect means in RVNP?
Is it just another word from the dictionary?
I don't think so.
It doesn't matter if you love/hate the NCOs,
It doesn't matter what your opinions are about them.
What matters is, you ought to show your
basic respect for them.
Simply because they are our officers.I guess up to this point,
There'll be people who will be thinking that,
You don't even join us for PT/drill,
What makes you think you're in the position to lecture us?True, I might not be able to participate in all the acts,
And I'm not gonna blame anyone for that, or give any excuses.
I know there are people within our squad,
Who judges me, not for me.
But I don't care,
Because I know that I'm trying my very very very best to make our squad better.
Simply just better.
So the next time you wanna judge me, take a look at yourself,
Are you giving your all?
Look, I don't need each and everyone of you,
To give 100% of your everything.
I know how exhausting that can be,
But at the very least, you ought to contribute 50%.
Not everyone is perfect.
There are points in life, whereby everyone feels like giving up.
But at the end of the day,
We still need people to pick themselves up,
And motivate everyone else.
So before you lament about how our squad sucks now.
Ask yourself, if you've given it your all.
Ask yourself, if you've let anyone down.
Ask yourself, if you've really loved our squad.
Truly, loved our squad.
And while I'm at this,
Here's to
Smile:
It takes a Bimbo to know one.
Since you're so free to read our blog,
I suggest you take up self-actualization courses.
It'll make you a better person.
And, I'm not any hell of a person.
At least, not as bad as you are.-weiying.

rocks more than you do, Smile.
Because, unlike you, she has something to love --
her squad.
