Farewell Encik Guna

8th October 2017..

I was very busy at SA and managed to take a breather to check my phone later in the evening... Was informed that the plug was pulled off the life support system for Robert M Guna earlier that evening and he was gone.

Encik Guna was a well respected veteran in the small Commando community in Singapore. He was always very supportive and helpful in terms of the projects carried out from the time I was in FT all the way to the present day 'The Commando Alumni'.

I just visited Encik Guna earlier in the afternoon with a few bros from The Commando Alumni and #Red72 at TTSH ICU ward and we each managed to say our respective sentences to him without letting our emotions surface too much..really did not expect him to be gone so soon.

All over Facebook, many brothers of the Commando fraternity were sharing their saddness on the passing of Encik Robert M Guna. This is one example from Daymon Lim that I can totally relate to...

I have just gotten to try out making a video on the mobile phone and I have managed to put together this video clip using some of our old photos in memory of Encik Guna.

At the end of the evening, I had a few whisky in a beer glass in memory of Encik Guna. Goodbye Sir!

The SG50 Limited Edition Wenger Commando Watch Project.

This watch materialized after many rounds of meetings, consultations, voting and discussions with many parties. It was mean for an Anniversary Run that happened in the SG50 year of 2015.

I was very glad to be given the opportunity to spearhead this project, with the help of many parties of course! We declared upfront that all the profits made from this watch will be forwarded to help a group of brothers from the same faternity.

Just wish to let you guys know that the 'Father of SAF Commando Unit' also bought the time piece to show his support! For Honour & Glory!

Some brother also excerised his fashion sense to modify the straps, making the beautiful watch an envy among all his peers. This is a true fact; Money alone will not be able to earn you the rights to wear such a watch.

The last watch for delivery was finally delivered today to this Spartan SGX Certified Coach, Mr Stef Fung.

This bro bought a number of watches under the first phase of the project (Thank You!). However, he selfless gave his watch up to another brother without finding out if another watch is available for himself. I am very glad to report that he managed to get his watch in the end. There are less than 300 such watches in the world. Although it did not turn out to be as easy as I thought initially, I am happy to report that we have managed to pull it through. It is now completed. 

Cheers!
