yesterday night deployment at khalsa crescent prison was the best.. lol.. got there at about 12am.. went for foot patrol around the perimeter of the prison.. and then go and sleep liao..

after that back to base in the morning.. and received news that 116th intake promotion.. oh well, got promoted to corporal.. but, at the same time, we have to wear the new uniform.. how concidence can it be..

bloggers, blogs have been in the news lately.. been hacked kind of stuff.. about how their blogs are self-centred, vain, etc.. but bloggers dont even care about the news reports.. well, they just want to get the msg across even to the extent of getting hate mails, anti-fans of the blogger.. heck, even my blog isnt spared as well.. friendship broke citing my blog as the reason.. even if she continued reading my blog despite breaking of friendship, i have one word for her.. and that is "CHILDISH!!"

from my own opinion, what we write, what we think, what we see as stated in the blog, is better to just read it and shrug it off rather than making a big hooha about it.. i dont understand why people have to make a big fuss about it.. so what if our opinion are wrong.. we get to learn from the mistakes as well..

yesterday went to jurong east to patrol.. did some mini-ops with the npco.. and then activated at tampines rd.. but nothing was found.. was abit boring throughout the patrol.. nothing to see.. the only consolation was when we are been activated, we get to dash red traffic light, with blinkers on and cruising along the expressway at 100 km/h.. seeing the expression of passer-by, motorists watching the vehicle dash across was a priceless moment for me..

1 yr have passed since i was enlisted for NS.. and 1 more yr to go.. it has been a bitter sweet experience throughout this 1 yr..

man, i have the sudden craving for ice cream.. the vanilla flavoured ice cream coated with chocolate.. i ate 3 at one go..

our team dog trial is on 25 aug.. exactly one month from now.. when i heard about the procedures about it, im kind of worry about it.. because there is one i didnt get to do it.. and that is 'out of sight'.. dog is in down position and we ask them to stay, while we are out of their sight.. dog must not move or crept forward during the stipulated time..

as for 'send away', i need to give Blacky more independent.. because he is relying on my layout now rather than just hearing the command 'away' and go away from me.. i donno whether i will get to do extra like 'over' because Blacky is a dog that is train by the Senior Trainer SI Chee.. and Blacky is also his favourite dog.. hai..

The island rocks!! great storyline.. but if only the camera could be more steady and more focused.. i could have give 4/5.. but i settled for 3.5/5..

moral of this movie(spoiler): dont kill clones.. for goodness sake, they have life too, they could think, speak, eat, run like a normal human being.. so what if their knowledge of knowing who they are increases as the day goes by.. even the clone, so-called insurance policy, outwit the sponsor.. no matter how perfect you create a clone, you can never outdone God, for He has even put down in finest details such as DNA..

by the way, do you have any idea that our body, have DNA from our grandparents, our parents? dont be surprised if you happen to have the same thinking as your grandparents or did something similar as your parents.. well.. just a thought to spare.. in case you donno..

well well.. at least you have tried and know the answer sooner than later.. if not your misery will be even worse.. when you told me everything about it, from the day you know her till now, it was 50-50.. so i just ask you to give it a shot.. well, hope you are better now knowing the answer.. and also dont lose heart that you quit midway through the so-call "hell-week".. you know your limits whereas i dont even dare to give it a try.. lol..

anyway, hope to see you soon handling your dog.. dog trial is coming.. argh.. im very scared and nervous.. Blacky is perfect in everything except that he dont like to do heeling work.. and i also crop out in "send away".. damn.. need to do more practices before the actual day.. hope all the other Security Dogs will not able to do.. wahahaha.. =P

a few days back, i was taken aback while chatting with my colleague on msn.. he say this to me, "given your sensitivity, you will make a good bf..."

firstly, i will like to ask some questions to understand myself better..

- to which extent, where does sensitivity stands? or should i say where is the line drawn between sensitive and over-sensitive or even insensitive..?

- or do i have to see how high is the tolerance to the people around me? well, as for this qn, the answer could well be, "it's varies.."

secondly, i donno whether i was deem as controversial or not.. like what i say in the past, it did happen in a few days time.. i dont really want to say that im over-sensitive.. but rather, i like to observe people.. i did blog about this issue some time back.. i use mind-mapping to observe people.. take for an instance, if this particular guy did something, and what will he do next? i will explore all possible actions that he will do.. even to the finest details.. that's why im not surprised if he did something extraordinary out of the blue..

lol, maybe im kay-poh in another angle.. maybe girls who are reading this post will get turn off... im not bothered about it.. well, im one of a kind.. hehe..

im very pissed off but yet very happy about last night's shift.. well.. one of my team members, NS man, reported sick and i have to cover for him as a base guard. If he had not report sick, i would have tasted the feeling of been activated during patrol.. i could have go for patrol yesterday.. argh..

text of msg: "PCG sighted a sampan heading towards singapore land. Give chase, upon reaching shore at tuas south ave 7(reclaim land), they seek J division for help, yet J division activated us.."

1 dog team not enough..call for the 2nd dog team.. area quite big.. forested area..

both of our dog teams captured 5 illegal immigrants.. credit to them and the dogs.. but i missed all the actions.. staying up the whole night at the duty office waiting for the good news..

lol, my team all want to sabo my team member who report sick.. wahaha.. ever since he came to our team, we find him to be a little too boastful.. claim to know everything in the base at the back of his hand.. but yet, always kana scolded.. he wanted to sign on as a regular, but all of us give the thumbs down as we find him not mature for the job at the moment.. maybe 3-4 yrs time..

Happy Birthday 2005

today is a special day to begin with.. it's my birthday..haha.. old liao old liao.. 22 yrs in this world.. thank you everyone for the warm wishes and greetings..

now to start off with, the london bombings.. i donno whether i should thanks the bombers or curse them.. now we have an additional ops to do.. patrol at the mrt station.. raffles place, city hall, outram park, chinatown, yishun, woodlands.. different places but all doing at the same time.. hai.. we are facing a shortage of manpower..

yesterday i got the shock of my life.. my friend gamble on soccer.. win some money and hence, over-confident comes in and play 2 matches for 150 each.. both lost.. yet he risk the wrath of losing more money by punting more money in another match.. this time 300.. and he win.. so never win.. never lose.. but what if he lost.. he have to pay 600 at one shot.. where can he find that sum of money.. until now, im still in a daze about what he had done.. i would have died of heart attack if he had lost.. better kill the habit or risk been killed..

this yr, i didnt celebrate the way i wanted.. having a buffet at Pariss International Restaurant.. but change to a more cheaper place.. the Hokkiado Hot Pot Restaurant.. not bad.. price reasonable..

i will be going out later with my friends to see movie..

yesterday went to bugis.. wow.. so many people went there for the food festival.. people mountain people sea.. i have to walk crab style..

mito is in my team kennel.. that means the handler is in my team now.. hai.. those who know, will know what are the difficulties between the former handler and the present handler..

ssgt teo, service no 3120.. an officer from portsdown.. stop abusing your authority.. have a chat with most of the guys at there.. all hate you... now you have one more in the list.. and that me.. you dont deserve the rank.. only know how to carry balls.. yet on the other hand, eat up those low-ranking than you..

i was coming in for portsdown shift 2.. ever since i came in from day 1, we dont need to report to the main gate.. even if those officers ask, they ask in a welcome, friendly tone.. guess what tone he use on me? he use a scolding tone on me.. here goes the conversation:

Teo: "hello!! what is your name ah!!"
Me: "Gary"
Teo: " Can you report to the main gate first before you put your things!!"
Me: "huh?"
Teo: "Gary what!!"

i got no time to shoot back before another officer stop me and ask me to go in.. is like been scolded for no reason.. argh.. one more time he did this again.. i make sure my complain goes up to the authority.. fellow humans been treated like this.. only know how to use rank.. pls use your basic social manners.. such a disappointment..

Sembawang DRC now ranked the last place i will go if i were to deployed there.. Portsdown is better than this DRC.. i donno how to put it, but given a choice, i rather deployed at Portsdown..

went there on the last night shift as there is no manpower.. every hour from 8pm to 1am, except 10pm, have to go for prowling and sign the book.. fair enough, i do as instructed.. the next morning, after escorting teaboys to tearoom, went to open office and wait for the morning personnel to take over duty since there is no more escort.. the kennel at there is full, only can house 6-8 dogs.. so for 1 hr(0700hrs - 0800 hrs) i leave Blacky in the air conditioned office while waiting for them to come..i cant let loose a dog at an unfamiliar enviroment.. i donno whether they are on the dot or whatever, once the clock strike at 8am sharp.. they force me to leave.. prison warden ask me to leave hurriedly because the vehicle is here.. as so i thought.. but i have to pass down any instructions to the next shift before making a leave.. haven even hand over, the warden already kpkb at the walkie talkie.. i make a quick hand over and run towards the main gate.. but to my surprise, the vehicle isnt there.. my day is ruined.. my mood is ruined as well..

there are other factors contributing as to why i ranked Sembawang DRC as last.. i only listed out the obvious ones..

for the benefit, i rank all those places that i have been deployed according to my preference;

1. Queenstown Remand Prison
2. Portsdown Centre
3. Sembawang DRC
