I personally met Chief of Air Force , Brigadier General Ng Chee Khern; one of the first F-16 pilots in Singapore. I must have been a fool to not realise that that Star on his shoulder meant that he was General, ala the guy with the most substantial rank in the room.
The first words i uttered when he introduced himself as Ck to me was. "OH CALVIN KLEIN" .... somebody shoot me. BG Ng was truly amused because Linna and me said the same words to him . Bet he remembered us well.
Im glad he took it candidly. :) A little chat and we girls found out that he studied philosophy @ OXFORD. Now, how smart can he get. Nice man, totally down to earth.
Others I met tonight included couple of Pilots. One who is known to the rest as MILO. I never found out his real name. There was this cute young pilot called Max who confiscated my ear-ring and demanded that i drank .
And there was John who demanded dinner from meeeee and Jonathan, who apparently was from Biotech in Tp. No wonder he was soooo familar. That boy plans to study veternarian science. Which is a whooping 5 year Doctorate. We actually were having lectures together for 2 years. But biotech pple and Bioengineering somehow didn't mix much.
Once again. It's never too late :)
I had myself 'topgun' style fun.
