Relinquish

Endurance. Belief. Patience. Hope. These are the key words of our existence. - Zensunni prayer

I wanted to post yesterday but couldn't coz' I was really exhausted. Yesterday was the official day of the "Passing-Out-Parade" which is named 'POP' in our school. What's it about? It's the day whereby Uniformed Groups (UG) graduating cadets officially step down as UG cadets and seniors. It's really very meaningful when I see the colours of their uniform, 5 kinds in total, stood and marched on to finish the last parade in their secondary school life. They had been tortured by their predecessors, got to be punished for every little mistake so that they would be disciplined to the maximum. Got punished, got "pumped", got scorched by the hot sun in parades and stuff, got pushed to their limits. But during these times, they have bonded together with the others who had gone through the same harsh treatment together. They endured the pain, believed in themselves, became patient with their juniors, hoped for the best to their legacy in their different UGs. It was really touching when I witnessed the entire process of the parade. That parade made me regret not joining the UG, coz' it makes me wanna "pass out" with em'. That moment when they got dismissed and gave the final salute. That split second. Then I saw berets up in the sky and joyful faces filled with smiles and grins. The four years they had been with one another, all the torture and rewards... had ended. As the the our batch of UG members step down and relinquish their leadership positions, the next-in-line steps up and takes the mantle of leadership and responsibility to furthur shine and glorify their UG. This tradition will carry on to the next and the next and further generations to come. Like a never-ending fire.

P.S Man, I wanna join the UG.
