CONGRATULATORY to my Sister



During my breaks in Brunei, I had to do errands with my sister and it was stressing enough that we had to use my car since her car was still in the workshop fixing. I had to be her driver to send her off to her attachment place at Royal Brunei Armed Forces (RBAF).

At first with was alright but once I had plans made for my friends it was very hard for me to swallow the frustration of last minute calls or messages from her but I had to obey her since she is older than me and she's very scary at times xD

She prayed everyday to be able to join the army as a medical officer since she has been slacking off for a year. It was sad to see her struggling and listening to her problems as well as her excited moments working there. Once I returned back to Melbourne, just yesterday I received a text message from her telling me that she got commissioned (7th March) as a Captain under RBAF

Only God knows why my tears started to come out when I finish reading it. I guess all that struggling and not getting much rest was worth it for my sister whom I love and respect. I am happy for her achievement!

But I was disappointed that the big story to it was that she is the FIRST FEMALE medical officer in RBAF. I got to know it from Wafi when he posted a link to share and read. He said he loves my sister quoting "..working for RBAF - the defender of Brunei's sovereignty - is one the most dignified careers one could have.."

Though it's sad not to know the whole story from her, I'm still happy for her and wish her all the best in her career! Be the best in everything sis! Coz that's what you do best :)
