Right on target.

I forgot to bring the book : to camp. So KY and Nigeress can't read.

This week was plain old uninteresting... until wednesday.

Come Wednesday, our barrack was raid again. PT punishment. PT kit, then did pumpings, crunches, jumping jacks, then 3 minutes change to full uniform. Afterwards another round of pumpings and jumping jacks. Afterwards we had a session of feedback session.. F I Danil asked us, " what u think of your squadmates?" sigh... The whole process took about 3 hours, then it was dinner time.

Come Thursday, 3 pm, F I Danil took us for PT. First, he came into our barrack, "PT kit in 3 minutes, bring some cash". we thought " wah, gone case". We had a round of warm up exercises at the basketball court, followed by a run to Macrichie reservoir via Mediacorp, then we went to Thomson Macdonalds. we had a break, got a drink, then off we go again, back to Tracom. then whole thing takes about 3 hours. Next was dinner, followed by movie night.. Guess wat.. i actually stay there trying to watch SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS. i sat there, frustrated, because i was hoping that the show was spoiled like last week's amtyville horror, then the management changed to show to the exorcist. In the end, i started messaging the people seated within the near proximity. Bored i was. I did not enjoyed the movie one bit, i do not know why. actually i'm okay that i did not enjoyed it. Fine.. weird guy.

Friday was okay. we got to walk out a bit earlier, it was Family Day.

The weekend was not bad. i attended my church's hokkein worship enent. the song was Fascinating. Title [i want to sing aloud] in hokkein. The live version made the audience so emotional!

This coming week will be our fingerprint dusting & photography course, and we'll be apply for for our PDL tomorrow!! yeah!

My sister will going over to Australia for her overseas learning journey organised by the school. Hmmm, hey Dawn, if you are reading this, Haha, you better take good care of her while she over there!! Haha!! Or else i'll take good care of you!! MUHAHAha (evil laughter)

God Bless us all!!

Missed!!

Sigh.. I'm delayed again.

Last week. Ah, last week. Let me think.

Last week was quite an event filled week. Firstly, we, NPCOs, got to know our Final theory results on the same week (on friday) as we took it (tuesday).. Wow. Most of us passed! It was actually quite like a joke as the practice session was so tensed up because the instructors kept on saying how tough, how tricky the paper was, choose A, B, C or D booklet, Never take the E or F booklet. I got the E booklet, it was actually very easy, so i can imagine how the previous booklets would look like.

Another eventful situation, sort or rather related to the Final theory test. On the test night, F I Danil raided our barrack. Of course being old birdies of TraCom, we were taking matters into our own hands: bedframes with hangers/clothes, bed messy, shoes arranged atrociously.. worst of the worst.. my bedframe was shifted from my place to the front to join with my another 2 squadmates, it will book like 3 bedframes together, mine in the centre, except that my frame was a single frame, the side ones are double deckers. So, after his raid, he made wat it looks like a aftermath of a typhoon out of the barrack and made those who were not taking the test do PT. As we received the news just before we entered the testing ground, somehow it affects our feeling at that point of time. The next thing we knew, the next day, or Officer-in-charge, blew his top, and left the classroom. we never get to see him for the whole week after that, partly due to our actions, partly because he was also on course.

The Fellowship of the Clique

Hey, our clique. Aloy, Daniel, Dean, Joanne, Minqi, Russell, Valerie & me. Some of you all really, seriously, had not meet up for a long while. Phew. So long. Since Prom Night, if i'm not wrong. So yah, the rest of us, like Daniel, Dean, me, met up yesterday again! For a movie: Kingdom Of Heaven. Although it was not an official our clique thing, because one of my squadmate initiated a movie event for yesterday, then ask me along, i took this opportunity to also gather our clique. Great idea, right? So the movie, was a little strange to me, because i lack the background knowledge of Jerusalem then. But the entertainment value is there, definitely, great cinematography, and lastly the message was quite clear.

i realised i am still not so good at arcade games. Lost so easily. This i got to know before the movie, while playing Time Crisis 3 at X-zone Dholby Ghaut. Haha!

NPCO + Class 3 licence = Better policeman

Wow, i really could not believe the i am going to take my Final Theory this coming tuesday when i just took my basic theory last friday. It is simply too fast, usually other people would require to wait for about 2 months or so to sit for it. But i believe the lessons we, NPCOs attend every night had so far prepared us well for our tests.

This week in camp, was a neutral. Highs and lows. i had good interaction with my squadmates like Eyebrows, Kuan Yong, Yuan Kai, Zhang Feng, this bunch of people, chated a lot, about games, lifestyle, habits, our childhood, NCC, sisters, etc. Bad time, actually waste of time, because of the "too much free time" between programmes. People get restless, peopl gets rowdy.

Angels & Demons. The book i lend to KY and Brows. KY finished it. Fast. I'm currently reading Wisely, book 47: The other species of human. Science Fiction. Chinese book i'm still at chapter 7. Slow.

Back to training; 1 2 3 4: left right left. 4 3 2: 1 N P C O!!

Ahem. It has been 2 weeks, right? Nothing much has happened during this time though, that is one reason why i did not really bother to blog in too often nowadays. The NPCO training did not comprise much content. I guess (and the officer in charge's too) that the reason why the training is made residential is .. Well.. Because of the driving lessons. By the way, i started my first basic theory lesson last thursday evening. Then, also, i felt for my Airport police officer squadmates because they are not entitled to the driving license.

So far, other than last thursday evening, the past 2 week has been identical. Morning wake up, flag raising, breakfast, lesson, lunch, lesson, dinner, end of the day; except for wednesday we have mass-calisthenic (basically all staff and trainees will be at the parade square for some light warm up then compulsory run will be conducted by the respective officers) and also some Physical training or Drill lessons by my Field Instructor. The only hilight is that we have change from a slacker instructor to a stricter one who likes running a lot. So, that's about it.

Talking about mentally, spiritually and emotionally, i felt that the 3rd week of NPCO training actually brings the squadmates to a greater extent, if a graph was to be used, i would describe that the graph of unity start to increase EXPONENTIALLY. Wow, that is a strong word, man. But in any case, there would be some people who still do not see the commom direction the squad is heading towards. I hope that they will not take long to realise. God please help to lighten the burden of squad NPCO 1.

For so long a time the clique has not meet up. Finally ther is a small get together of the MJC guys, Aloysius, Daniel, Dean, Russell with a special guest MinQi. Although some people came at the wrong timing and some cannot come due to unforseen circumstances, i appreciate the effort man. We should get together more often man, hang out at great places like Brewerks, Marcee etc.

Ah, yes, i will be walking in soon. Taking taxi tonight, as my father will not be driving me there. Got to go.
