I also want to say: "ORD loh!" to my last batch of trainees (13th Field Defence Course - Paya Lebar Air Base) before i completed my NS on 30 May 2006. ORD loh ORD loh!!! Just want to tell all of you who are either going on to work or further studies, all the best in whatever you are going to do... It's been a great time knowing all of you. Thanks for trusting me, even sharing with me your inner thoughts and personal problems during the course duration.

I might not be the best instructor or platoon sergeant you have met during your NS, but i hope that the things/values i had passed on has influenced you in a good way.

I look forward to see you along Orchard Road or in the campus!

Come and pat me 'lightly' on my shoulder if you see me!

I might forget your name already or need time to recall, sorry about that in advance.

For those whom i remember your name, you are either the zai!! ones in the platoon or you have been taking alot of OFF pass from me yah?

You can consider to change my contact name in your handphone phone list from Platoon Sergeant Tan -> to -> Guan Rui ... But if you continue to call me on the road :"Platoon Sergeant Tan!", I think most probably i will turn around and say :"ORD loh!!!"

Special thanks to my section commanders!
