Randomness (45)

eating snake at the moment, using my friend's office computer to blog..

wah.. i find this world very practical sia.. yesterday sent out 10 resumes.. and only 1 replied.. thurs interview.. hai.. have to wear formal liao.. have to bring relevant documents to secure the job even though the caller didnt specifically mentioned it..

even though im working part time at the moment, the income supplement is not enough.. $5 per hr.. and is only a few days per week.. that why i need to find a full time job.. i need to refresh my memories what i have learn in ite is fully forgotten in the 2 yrs of NS.. argh.. going to do some crash course in accounting..

IMF/World Bank in Singapore

woohoo.. im not involved in the world bank.. hahaha.. phew.. i have been dreading for the call for days.. kind of acted too fast in applying for it..

now i can concentrate of securing a full time job while working part time for my tuition teacher at the moment..

Missed Blacky

i miss blacky!! i dont think other dogs can replace him in my heart already..

i miss his whining..
i miss his salute upon command..
i miss his one kind of attitude when giving commands to him.. he will give a 'hack-care' attitude but will still do it.. haha..
i miss his car-sickness that he will vomit in the car everytime.. and im not complaining that i have to clean up the mess..
i miss his loyalty that he only listen to the handler's command and not other people..
i miss his way of greeting people.. stick out his arms to shake hand without fail..

when i first take him, only a few people know that this dog was first handled by Chee Kok Jin.. after passing out from the basic handling course, more and more people get to know him and love him until the dog trial.. after that, everyone all knows him.. i dont even mind he is taking all the credit.. he deserve it after all.. he is way too special.. he shouldnt have let us handle him in the first place.. only special people like Chee Kok Jin deserve to handle him.. i dont deserve to handle him.. i merely taking care of him all this while..

Life in K-9 (74)

hai.. Blacky go back to HQ to be trained by the kennel hand.. but somehow the person who come and take the dog back is none other than Chee Kok Jin.. i dont think Blacky will be hand over to the kennel hand permanently.. but merely handle him just to take the handling allowance.. haha.. whatever the actual reason is, i believe that Blacky will still be under the care of Chee Kok Jin..

im having a mixed feeling right now.. one is sad, as though someone whom you with together for the last 1 and 1/2 yrs, suddenly just leave you without notice or answer.. the pain is there.. but hope through working will able to ease the pain.. another one is happy that in a way or another, Blacky is back to the rightful owner..

today i thought i can ord peacefully.. thought can get IC and go out celebrate.. but to my horror, i have to go back again tomorrow just to collect the IC.. not only that, today went 3 places.. SOC, K-9 HQ and changi base.. just to collect signatures.. pengz.. but at least tomorrow i can go and collect my IC with peace..

ORD

some great news to announced..

1) ORD lor!! =p

2) Blacky wont be going back to HQ as the kennels there are full with those new dogs coming in.. will go back one of these days to see him and give him a good scrub.. he on holiday so song until no one want to bathe him.. ee, blacky smelly!!

3) had a heart to heart talk with someone who have not been very good terms with him since TRACOM.. found out that the things i did in HQ that spread to other sub bases were like a forest fire.. well, you all know what happened when i transfer to changi sub base.. no one give me the chance to redeem for what i did in HQ.. i earned back the chance in these 7 months in changi base.. i pull out the fire on my own.. and proved them wrong.. and also say to them, "dont believe in gossips!! it move people to prove them wrong all the more.if you want to know the person from the start, start afresh and dont listen from gossips and make judgement!!" this lesson doesnt learn from book one hor!!

Cab fare increased

2 weeks have gone since the cab fare increase, and i only took 4 times.. and i dont want to take.. die die also not taking.. yeah, i know that Singapore cab fare is the lowest compared to Hong Kong, London.. but im not working.. why should i be the one that is paying for the cab diesel cost..

i rather wake up early, take a bus or the train, add in some sweat-smelling armpits that struck in front of me, to my destination..

let do some calculation.. say we take the maximum transport expenses of $4.. $2 to office, another $2 back home.. 1 month is about $120..

taxi.. "uncle, changi!!" uncle hear already, grin from face to face.. reach destination, uncle's bright white teeth showing you and say, "kao liao.. $10.. thank you! eh, want me to fetch you to and fro everyday? hehehe.." one month can help him pay his cab rental and diesel liao.. $300..

if i reject uncle's offer, and instead opt to save about $180.. what do you think the uncle will say?

i give up on friendster liao.. hai.. add friends but the number of friends still the same or will be lesser by the day..

Happy Birthday 2006

right.. happy birthday.. a day of celebration and happiness.. but to me, i find this day normal leh.. haha.. maybe i miss the boat of celebration 2 yrs back.. other than that is pretty mundane to me..

Overall experience in NS

As at this time, i hereby announced that im an ORD personnel.. hehehe..

2 yrs of National Service.. im finally a man.. hahaha..

6 months of Physical Training in TRACOM, 1 1/2 yrs in Dog Unit.. learn alot of things where books cant teach.. im happy that my last days in Dog Unit was happy memories.. but sad to leave Blacky.. now im hoping they wont take Blacky back to HQ.. if not, i will never have the chance to see him again..

Dollar and Sense

Yesterday watched the debut episode of Dollar and Sense, hosted by Bryan Wong.. this is a game show where 4 celebrities have the same amount of money which they can invest.. as times goes by, they face some difficulties like big problem, small problem, bankrupt or good news..

as a person who went through a course where money is mattered in ite, these are tips to be shared.. there is only one lesson that i shared but yet never applied on my own.. =/

1) dont apply for credit card.. the interest is the highest among housing loan, car loan..

2) in case of emergency, you must have at least 3-6 months of savings..

3) the lowest risk and lowest investment is fixed deposit.. this is the one that i had shared before.. but didnt applied because i dont have the minimum savings that required for the fixed deposit.. i remember got one newspaper report saying that now alot of elderly people are putting their savings in fixed deposit just to earn interest.. shake leg also got interest coming in.. eh, can share some interest to me.. i no money leh.. hehehe

4) if want to buy a car, make sure your salary is above 2k.. eh, i think i go and sleep and dream about it.. hai.. when is this dream going to be granted..

5) want to save, save more than 50% of your salary if can.. this is the most difficult lesson people can ever applied in life.. im not excluded as well.. but because of my family problems, i have to help them.. unless you are high-flier like some celebrities or businessman.. you never know when is the rain will come.. think for yourself instead of the materialistic things that you intend to get..

for me, as long as there is shoes, clothes to wear, food to eat, bed to sleep.. im contended.. i dont care how outside people look at me.. even handphone also want to gone case, i not complaining either.. my intention now is go through the storm with my family..i cant blame my family for the cause that they have gone through..i can only trust God who deliver.. the tips that i given is 100% harmless.. it will definitely come in handy..

Moonlighting

jobs are all out there to find.. in the internet, in the newspaper.. apply through agencies..

but the job im currently doing is slave work for my tuition teacher friend because i could only work until end of Aug.. after which, the World Bank Conference in sep, i will somehow be there.. not as a policeman or reservist.. hahah.. only certain people know.. think will surprise my former colleagues in the dog unit.. hehehe..

only then, im free to work outside.. this is what i call bumming around.. haha.. from helping my tuition teacher to world bank conference to outside job..

minci, i donno what job you looking for.. maybe i can help you.. only thing i cant help is resume.. is damn hard to write lor.. hai..

the last 2 weeks are hell to me.. watch world cup then go to work.. off days also go and work.. then i think it to myself, "wah, if like that work, i dont have time for myself.. no no.. cannot.." after that, discuss with my tuition teacher friend..

Tuition Teacher

few days back, i went to see a teacher who is currently teaching at a tuition agency as i was looking for a job, hence on the way meet up with her..

the last time i saw her was like in year 2001.. i donno her age but she is in clubbing scene since the first day i know her at a private school.. she look totally different now leh.. my curiousity overwhelms and somehow the conversation goes like this..

Me: "wah, so long never see you, you change alot.."

she: "Ya, you also what.."

Me: -___- "ya ya.. but i dont think you teach until stress and your look change overnight.."

she: "no lah.. you know that i was in clubbing, right? aiya, just say that, too much clubbing ruin my youth..."

me: "huh.. i dont get you.. "

she: "personal problems lah.. then went to pub to drown my sorrow lor.. drink too much, that why i look quite terrible now.."

me: "orh.. binge drinking.."

she: "yeah.. sigh......... dont learn from me.. you still look quite young despite your age is 23.."

me: "wah pian, always meet up kana suan.. never suan me one day cannot one leh.."

she is one example where in the newspaper reports that girls are on the rise of binge drinking.. nowadays, girls dont really look like their age have stated.. but look over-matured.. just walk down the street, i can see guys and girls walking together in a relationship, my impression of that couple would be, "is that girl his sister or what? or the guy is her brother??"

i donno whether i should count my youth as a blessing or not.. =/

Looking for jobs

Now looking for jobs at the moment.. make some phone calls, send some emails.. Basket, all calls and mails come in at the same time, at the same day.. and ask me for an appointment at the same time, at the same day which is tomorrow.. what the hell.. eh, i cant appear like 2 places at a time, provided i have a person who look exactly like me, or i have a clone machine.. that wont be a problem..

World Cup 2006

World cup is here again.. held in germany from jun 9 - jul 9.. 32 teams fight over for the ultimate prize.. think will create another blog for it..

here is the address: http://cool402-worldcup06-germany.blogspot.com/

Dog Handler Required

hai.. my request is denied yet again.. sigh..

WANTED: A dog handler who is able to maintain or better still, improve Blacky's obedience..

REQUIREMENT: Top 5 in Dog Assessment every year.. (this one not i say one, is the mdm from changi base..)

INFO on knowing the dog better: Ask Chee Kok Jin or myself.. wahahaha..

this dog has already earn a place in my heart.. dont think any dog or any person can take away this place..

SI Chee's Retirement

today went for SI Chee's retirement dinner.. though my request for him to handle Blacky is rejected, but at least i give him a gift that is dear to him.. a photo of Blacky..

i still harboured the hope that he can still handle Blacky.. im not giving up the hope..

Life in K-9 (73)

wahahaa.. i just couldnt help it.. i dont have anything to post at the moment as i already in ORD mood.. productivity is already in mid level after the dog trial.. even worse when it comes to jun.. completely no productivity already..

this morning, saw a snake at the DO office.. donno how it come in.. but we have a fun time catching it, we still managed to catch it with a dog catcher pole..

other than that.. nothing liao.. so the next posting will post when the blue moon comes.. ahhaha..

Dog Trial Competition

dog trial results was abit unexpected.. think quite alot of people was expecting my dog and another dog's name Jack to be the champion.. but alas, it was not to be.. is another case of underdog to be the champion once again.. i got third overall..

at least i dare to say i try my best liao.. i try my best not to let Blacky know that im nervous.. took deep breath and did the whole exercise.. i lose to a better handler, that all..

now i can ORD in a peace of mind.. but i doubt about my DY-CO about the promise that i requested.. this is one request i would like to fight for it before i ORD..

Life in K-9 (72)

long time never blog leh.. been busy lately.. just to take time out for a break..

i have make a request to my unit DY-CO that Blacky to be hand over to the very first handler to take care of him.. firstly, is because of the respect i have for the handler.. secondly, is because whenever i went back for In-service, he will always ask how is Blacky.. lol.. and also partly is because i find that the SC nowadays just take the dog for granted.. i feel that i have completed my duties in taking care of the dog that he once attached to and also in a way, improve Blacky's weakness.. in this coming dog trial, i hope to do my very best and present him the best present ever.. whatever the outcome, i will grab it as a bonus to me.. the handler is none other than SI Chee..

secondly, i find my posting from HQ to Changi Base is a blessing in disguise (again).. if i still staying in my current team in HQ, i dont think i will survive mainly is because of those reshuffling of manpower in between those 4 teams.. Changi Base is, as long as you are happy with the team that you are in, no reshuffling is needed..

in these 1 1/2 yrs that i in dog unit.. i learned alot of things that textbook will not provide us with.. human relationship, leadership qualities are put to the test every day, every hour.. there is no point in showing your stubborness when management at the top want to make a change.. and as a basic manner in human relationship, there should be at least a "give-and-take" attitude.. and not just show the ranks that those people are holding.. there is no way you can please anyone but as long as you have your own kakis.. the environment might be a better place to work in..

will blog more about it later..

Freak accident

i dont think anyone will believe that Blacky accidentally bite people.. but it's true, and it just happened to be a freak accident.. one of the trainer act as a baitor and let Blacky bit on a sleeve.. and Blacky bit on the spot where the sleeve have no cover.. the wound was quite deep.. i was kind of feeling bad about it..

after that, we did some obedience exercises using tennis balls as a guideline.. and i found out that Blacky's bite is getting harder and harder.. one of the tennis ball was on the verge of been bitten off and have his bite marks very deep obviously..

Friendster

Friendster damn sucks.. upload photo yet upload so many and now i have to delete those extra copies.. i donno why they want to put so many things in.. from a simple add-friends site to a rubbish chute site.. got mtv, videos to upload, horoscopes, classifieds jobs to look for, testimonials now becoming more funky.. what next..

i heard they are coming up with friendster radio stations.. and post private photos!?!? erm, whatever.. i just want a simple Friendster website, tat's all.. is that hard to do meh??

Pre Dog Trial

11th May.. Dog Trial..

just gone back to HQ for refresher.. all the people are speculating that i might get the top prize.. haha.. i dont think so.. i dont even dare to think so far ahead.. initially i just want a pass on my assessment, that all.. to get into top 5 is a bonus and also Johnny's way of assessing.. i didnt bribe him for goodness sake.. i dont think i stand to gain anything from it..

hai, after this week's refresher and gone back to sub base, i have to put in extra effort during my shift work to train Blacky for the big day.. not too much or else Blacky dont want to do on the day itself.. it will be very malu..

Eight Below

watched eight below this afternoon.. all i can say is that, if the actor were to be me, i will also do the same as what the actor did.. the bond is there.. i will risk the dangers just to save them.. just that the ending abit sad.. should have all 8 dogs been saved will have a nice ending..

recently, i did some mental calculation about how much i use per month.. i was shocked when i saw the figure.. its about 800++++.. i think i need to cut down the costs liao..

things to cut down :-
- transport (especially taxis)
- entertainment ( movies, pool..)

by cutting down on these 2 things, i think i able to save about 300 dollars per month.. in 3 months time, i dont even have any ns allowance coming in.. lucky got the progress package.. hope the money can tide me through while looking for a part time job..

Life in K-9 (71)

i was not prepared for the good news that mdm have in store for me.. Blacky is in the up coming dog trial.. and come out top for this year assessment.. i was flattered to hear that.. now im more prone to anxiety attacks as the dog trial is just round the corner..

and i also know who is the one that tag my message board as "A" : "Try lah".. guess i have underestimated her.. i refrain from saying anything.. think those who read my blog will know who is it..

Driving in the rain

hai.. i hate the weather.. when i want bad weather, they give me hot and humid weather.. when i want hot weather, they give me cold weather instead.. never once in my driving, i ever have a bad weather to drive in.. not even when i went for driving lesson.. not even when im driving when im on duty.. the most i got is a light drizzle.. not heavy rain that last for a few hours..

i love driving during a heavy downpour.. i donno why.. but i just love it.. maybe i drive too long in the sun, and the glare is getting sick of it..

Reservist

hey manpower, how come someone lives in tampines yet can go to A division for his reservist har?? funny leh.. i thought should be in G division or the worst KINS.. but anyway, he sure kana called back for this september World Bank Conference..

on the other hand, i have to thank manpower.. hehe.. they help me to reserve a place in poly lor.. thank you ah.. at least i not afraid of missing my studies while kana called back for the World Bank Conference..

seriously, for someone who thinks that everything is over despite going though the storm, doesnt mean it wont happen again.. he is utterly over-confident about the way it is now.. he is like, someone who got praised too much that he is floating in the sky.. time for some humility lessons..

Life in K-9 (70)

yesterday is a black day.. our team got one new sc who just posted to changi base kana accident.. and is just happened outside our base.. somemore is on the way to work.. he cross the road when he is in front of a bus, a motorbike out of nowhere hit him.. i was at the other side of the road where the accident happened.. another colleague was just infront of the scene.. first time attend accident, straight away call 995.. and not 999.. silly me.. maybe i was too kan cheong and that the accident was minor, hence i call 995 in the first place.. and went to the nearest hospital which is Changi General Hospital..

miracleously, the SC suffered no injuries as he only have abrasions.. while the motorist had a broken collarbone..

oh well.. time for some good news instead.. i received the progess package letter and got $900 from the government..

and Blacky is the first dog to be in the dog trial.. argh..

Wasted trips

damn pissed off today.. i make a total of 2 wasted trips for nothing..

first, went to SOC to collect a letter about my NS status to reserve a place for my studies in poly.. called the person-in-charge.. no answer.. never mind.. called my PNS PO for K-9 and heard that the document is already at his table.. go SOC for nothing, just to come here and see the troopers training..

and so off i went back to HQ.. waited for the PNS PO to come back and collect the document for him.. then went to Ngee Ann Poly to submit the letter in person..

next destination: Ngee Ann Poly.. go up to the admissions office and give the letter.. thought my place will be secured.. who knows the person who received it and say, "this letter is not acceptable as there is no letter head or chop.. i can also just type out the letter like that.." then she called SOC about the lack of letter head of the document and SOC will send the letter on my behalf and Ngee Ann Poly will reply back to me.. wah.. go Ngee Ann poly also for nothing.. go there see girls.. now semester break, no girls to see..

Blacky

Blacky has indeed lived up it name, "SI Chee's Dog.."

i just want a pass on my dog assessment so that i can at least get into ORD mood.. but Blacky dont want me to have that moment so fast.. so he did perfectly good on the assessment that day... argh.. i dont want to go into top 5.. i dont want to carry the Changi Base name alone to HQ..

Me: "Blacky, why you never do well in the first round and have to do exceptionally well in the second round?"

Blacky gives me a blank look and wanted to inch forward to lick my face...

oh, Blacky have also learn from my characters liao.. just say that if he doesnt like to do more than what he required to do.. he wont do for you.. he will ignore your commands and just rest at there.. he seem to tell me that i already know what to do, why still ask me to do some more.. and true to his words, he did his best during the assessment..

minci, this world is unfair.. people around us will take advantage.. they are selfish.. they just want their own benefits.. as long as they can get what they intend to get, they will find all kinds of means to get it.. politics, backstabbing, gossip.. i have see majority of them during my ite and also my current workplace.. do you think the vandalism on the wall, "gary is here" is the first time i saw it.. heck, during my ite, people also do that to me.. on both occasions, i dont really bothered about it.. i just concentrate what i need to do and end my day with a smile on my face.. i have no worries, no guilty conscience, no regrets.. haha, shopping therapy is also a good way to relive stress and also able to reap what you have sow.. dont overlimit your budget.. hahaha..

Application to Ngee Ann Poly

the letter is here.. the result of my application will be known in a matter of seconds when i peeled the strips of the seal away.. and i got into the poly and the course that i wanted.. haha.. 1st time i applied for it, i only put this course in.. they reject as the course is popular and reservations is fill up.. never mind.. 2nd time tried again.. with 4 more courses applied again.. and got it.. Thanks God for that..

now come the problem.. they didnt say when i will start the course.. but guess i have to call them and inform that i want to start the course next yr as i ord in jul.. now is the time to find part time job.. any recommendation, lobangs, intro??

oh, in case you didnt know, i succeed in applying for Banking and Finance Services in Ngee Ann Poly..

Life in K-9 (69)

im very tired.. physically tired.. i need a break.. i need a vacation.. the last break was in dec.. but on the other hand, i have planned my ord leave in such a way that im taking during the night shift in jun for the world cup.. guess i have to push myself for the final 4 months..

some updates..
1) i drop the IPPT as i find that i cant run.. well, not that i have illness but is just that im very lazy to exercise.. and no, im not fat.. im still very much the same..

2)apply for poly.. yet to know the results.. either next week or apr.. hopefully could get into Ngee Ann Poly..

3)dog assessment in 3 days time.. been pressure again by the same old people..

my mdm told me this, "the guy that confronted you, admit his mistakes.. he really did not take the incident into heart but other people might not be that forgiving.." TRUE!!! Changi Base have only a small group of people working.. less than 30 people.. yet majority of it are going against him and his colleague for spoilting the market in Changi Base.. i dont want to say what is the market all about.. own team own matters.. why bother about other team matters?? and why am i the only one kana by him?? why other people dont voice out their unhappiness to him??

yes, im the sort of person who dont like, will voice out my opinion.. hey, that is my right to do it.. i feel that i always have trump cards on my sleeve everytime whenever im in a disadvantage.. like secrets, history.. once i say it out, you will see the sudden change of that person's reaction.. those secrets will be safe unless you want to taste your own medicine..

Life in K-9 (68)

during the morning shift, i received a call from the guy who confronted me.. and apologise to me again and also requested me to shake his hands again infront of mdm.. well, to me, im fine with it.. but i think im having a phobia of working with him again.. even my team also have this phobia..

Life in K-9 (67)

yesterday is a day where i feel like been crucified.. firstly, been confronted by the guy who say that i didnt show him respect.. for the whole of 30 mins, he only ask me 2 qns over and over again.. and bring up the past before i come to Changi Base.. when he repeated the qn for the second time, i knew im having a tough time to convince him even though my answer was like foolproof..

1) why you didnt show respect to me? x 4
ans: ever since you comment the last time that i didnt do anything and make you all do like robots, the respect is not there.. this comment show me his anger..haha..
ans: because of the way you planned the deployment.. this comment soften him now..
ans: you never checked the deployment of my current team before you put me for deployment..
ans: i come here to send vehicle for repair and not do deployment for you..

2) why you rest more than the required time? x 4
ans: mdm briefed me on it.. and she was the one that say ok with it.. x 4

the confrontation settled and shake hands.. i just take whatever he gives.. and i find that the whole confrontation was nothing at all.. because someone else was making comments about me covering in his team.. this person hated me even when i was in HQ.. guess this person must have a good night sleep over the weekend.. but not for long..

now the second one where i went for deployment.. guess what i found? vandalism on the dog hut wall.. the writings were, "gary is here" "ord" "no more delta"
im not that stupid to write on the wall and report to mdm.. this is just like shooting your own self in the foot..

Life in K-9 (66)

wahahaha.. someone indirectly told me that i didnt show him respect.. guess that person only heard a part of me about the problems in HQ.. i cant be bothered about it as for me, i dont give a damn about ranks..

hello, im unique.. im one of a kind.. there is no way others can do it the way i want it to be..
if someone say 2, i dare to say 1..
if someone say 1, i go for 2 instead..

this incident happen when i cover for my old team.. as long as i did my deployment, i do my own things.. i rest how long i want.. mdm didnt even question me..

this person have nothing to do, find unnecessary things to play.. this is the second time he is doing it to me.. the first time he did it to me, the respect is gone..

"why you never do anything? make us do like robots.." does deploy as a driver and send people for deployment not doing anything?? i was shocked when he say to me.. after that my impression towards him change for the worse and then he added on, "eh, dont take my comments to heart.. take it easy ok.." that comment make me determined to change team..

if regulars want to be "siao on".. then do it yourself.. dont drag those people who are serving ns be "siao on".. this is not our permanent job neither is our rice bowl..

1 million dollars

hmm.. what will i do if i have 1 million dollars? anyone have this thought of been a millionaire overnight and not knowing what to do with the money??

-clear debts
-buy clothing, shoes
-x-box games
-buy a car
-put the minimum amount in every bank's fixed deposit account and collect interest
-buy a air ticket to australia and surprise someone
-treat friends to a feast and fun
-the rest give to my family

Randomness (44)

chinese new yr have not passed even one week, and we have 3 major cases liao.. 1 armed robbery, 1 murder and 1 mafia styled killing.. not bad, either our authorities are slacking or we are going back to olden times..

im not trying to be a bastard as to how those people have treated me.. im not trying to get back to them by plotting revenge on them.. by doing so, im just taking things into my own hands and in return, i suffered the most.. what i do believe is that God will melt out the consequences by many fold to these kind of people.. is my answer satisified to you.. hehe..

Real drama

ok.. so today is the o level results.. and my block got some drama going on.. dont think there is a link between the release of o level result and drama going on in my block..

well, apparently, there is a girl who failed her o level and wanted to jump down at my block.. heck, she doesnt even live in my area.. police and civil defence were called in and put out the inflated bed.. ok, im not going to add salt to her wounds.. but all i can say is people take failure differently.. and she is taking it too seriously..

i heard johnny is going to be the Security Dog assessor.. wah.. i hear his name, i sian 1/2.. he was the one that transferred me out to Changi Base.. well, civil servants have to protect their rice bowl.. hence they can do anything as long as it is legal, within their authority just to pissed us off while serving our NS..

i think i should list out some rights for myself..
- people who take me for granted.. out you go..
- people who treat me as an ATM machine.. out you go..
- people who treat me as a vending machine only exception is buddies and gf.. out you go..
- people who cant accept me for who i am.. out you go..
- people whose mouth is full of crap but no action (been boastful).. out you go.. this is what i called them, "empty vessels make the most noise"

all i can say is that i taken too much crap from all these kind of people for the last 2 yrs.. i have enough of it.. anymore from these kind of people, just once will do the trick.. i just dont have the patience to play this kind of game anymore..

Life in K-9 (65)

5 more months to ORD.. and i already have this mood.. but somehow Blacky sensed it and do badly in the obedience exercise.. see lah.. now i have to pretend to shower him with lots of love and care to do well especially the dog assessment is just round the corner..

one funny incident to share.. a few days back, i went to cineleisure to watch movie.. i queued up for the tickets.. for the next 10-15 mins, the queue didnt moved at all due to a lady who bought tickets with her visa card.. i was reading my newspaper and was also been distraughted by those ang moh boys making fun of the jack neo movie poster.. and guess what, my friends was just infront of me in the queue..and we didnt see each other for that duration of time.. and end up discovering about it during MSN chat.. tsk tsk..

minci.. your dream, i roughly know what is it.. is it you will be risen to the top and cant handle the pressure.. you will fall greatly??

yesterday drove a brand new Toyota Altis as i signed up for the NTUC Carsharing Scheme.. worth much cheaper than in a car rental company.. you pay what you use.. they only ask you to pay for the time you used, and the mileage that you drove.. as for petrol, you use their account to pay for it..

the car width was much bigger than my uncle's car that i drove.. the interior itself is like a luxury to me.. to go down in a spiral way just to look for a parking lot, my friend have to help me before i get used to handle the car..

i used the car yesterday for the SOC D&D.. pretty much so-so..

is been a long time since i blog.. if i keep on blogging the same old things, it might be very boring..

now that i have changed to team Alpha, all i can say is the best i have ever work in a team that suited my style. as long as you have done your duty, you can do anything you want without the interference of others, that's so cool.. team Bravo in HQ and team Delta in Changi Base dont give me this kind of working lifestyle.. i dont like to work where i have done my duty yet having someone to cut into my "idling time" to help them to do something..

hmm, NS personnel getting a one-off bonus and allowances is also increasing.. to be a regular better or NS personnel better.. hahaha..

im counting down to the day i ORD now.. hahaha.. 6 months and 1 week to go.. damn.. why must i ord after the World Cup? lucky im not a person who play MC or take leave regularly.. i have planned my ORD leave in such a way im only working day during the world cup.. and after the world cup, i can clear about 3-4 tours of shift before shouting "ORD!!"

due to some unforseen circumstances, the time of getting a new car might be delayed.. i hope to have these circumstances clear by Jun, hopefully..

Civil Defence Exercise

this morning explosion exercise, i guessed correctly 3 stations.. only marina bay station stop me from getting full marks.. haha.. the 3 stations are toa payoh, raffles and dhoby ghaut..

the earliest indication that the exercise going to be underway was on the way to work.. saw several Civil Defence vehicles drove passed with the blinkers on..

another indication was a few days back when i went to Plaza Singapura to shopping.. saw a new white SOC vehicle at dhouby ghaut mrt station..

lucky i never late for work or in a way affect my timing to work.. if i still posted to HQ, either i will be late for work or no need to go as it could be my off day..

for a change, i spoke to one of my christian friend about it.. and her views was exactly the same as what i expected.. and the way i see it, believers and non-believers, the thinking is very different.. non-believers will say to me, "give up.." while believers will say, "maybe the timing is not right yet, as God's timing is the best.."

i will be changing to team Alpha on the 16th.. right after my refresher training in HQ which runs from 9th to 13th..

seriously, i cannot understand why girls have to go for other guys when there is a guy standing infront of her confessing his love for her and been kept waiting for no reason..

there are alot of reason girls want to keep the guys waiting..
- not fit to be a boyfriend
- both are stubborn in nature
- lonely in other countries
- studies come first
- wrong timing
the list goes on..

guy like girl.. guy confess to the girl and the girl say other reason than "i dont like you.." guy thought got hope.. find out girl already in relationship.. in the end, wait for so long still no answer.. give up and blame the girl for giving false hopes.. in the end, both also suffer.. find this scenerio very familiar??

as for my own situation, i got 2 options..
- give up (most of my friends all suggest to me..)
- dont care about the situation at the moment and concentrate on other things like studies and career.. in other words, not the right time yet..

Randomness (42)

spoke to three friends about it.. all give different answers to this problem..

- since the feeling is still there, go for it..
- you have to see for yourself, maybe you should take one step at a time..
- give up lah.. since she go back on her words..

i can feel depression is hitting me very hard on this matter.. but i told myself that i cant give up without a fight.. i want to know where i stand.. i dont like to see myself been defeated way before the fight begins..

Reflections 2005

a much needed break for 1 week only to go back to work on the new yr eve.. blah..

2006.. hmm.. what to expect.. for the first half of the yr, nothing much.. have to serve finish before i could get to do anything..

second half of the yr is what im looking for.. i blog in the earlier post about what i plan to do.. i cant wait for the time to come..

recently, i really donno how come my feelings turn out to be like this.. its freaking me out and making me very weird..

for 6 yrs, i have this feelings for this gal.. i tried to go for other gals as well.. so dont say i wasted my entire 6 yrs just for this gal.. she went for overseas studies.. she say that she want to concentrate on her studies, fair enough.. i respect her decision and wanted to maintain a constant communication through msn, but she somehow reject it..

throughout these 6 yrs from what i know, she have been through 3 relationships including now.. now this is the weirdest part, im not angry at all despite finding out from reliable sources.. the feelings is kind of on-off and when she had a failed relationship, it just give me renewed hope.. but i have to admit that i didnt put in efforts.. =
this matter, i only told one of my sister-in-christ (a hint to where i have a feeling to this gal)..

my only question is this (dont think anyone can answer this).. is she the one for me and is it worth giving up once and for all for this girl?

Life in K-9 (61)

is basically the same old stuff.. lol..

saw blacky vomit in front of my very own eyes.. he was standing in the field not doing anything. His body was kind of grumbling then it happened.

i dont think i will go back to HQ anymore. the reason is CSB is welcoming 2 HQ colleagues. both are regulars as one of them is recent signed on. i was so happy to see them on wednesday when they came to our side for training. at least there are HQ colleague which i could really work with them since they coming to CSB..i was so lonely in CSB that i want to go back to HQ..you should know the feeling of been working in HQ and have to go to CSB where people are picking on you.. i will be changing team again, most prob after chinese new yr. im seeing myself working with one of them..hehe..

i have passed my shooting.. so i left with one to go and that is my ippt..

i kept my mouth shut too long liao.. need to clarify something.. anyone know about the post where someone say that guys interested in this girl and along the line, i say that this girl's heart is not faithful.. firstly, i didnt jump to conclusions that the couple's relationship was on the rocks because of third parties or because of the girl's will of going through hardship in the relationship.. what i want to say is that the guy's profile in the friendster give me the impression, not that i want to jump to conclusion. people reading it will have this impression.

secondly, the post that i mention about the relationship and now, didnt even mention that the word "break-up" and no, im not having the last laugh over what i say to this girl in the first argument in this past friendship. ever since she ended this friendship, i dont even give a damn about what is going on in her relationship. hopefully this is the last post about her in the year 2005.

now, i find out some friendster profile change coincidentally after i blog about it. "friends are not forever, sucky ones can disappear from my life..." this is the second guy whose friendster profile i mention about it in the earlier post when he request to be my friend.

from these 2 friendster profile show that they are reading my blog.. im not so sure about the first guy.. it could be the ex-female friend reading it..

i also found out some weird behaviours about girls from my female friend.. lol.. when i told her about my ex-friend call me.. she say that this ex-friend could already have feelings for me, and given though the friendship ended, she still kept my hp no.. so, what the use of keeping it?

anyway, hope i have say what i want to say about her..

for me, only thing to blog is i have the intention to buy a car next year end. well, that my ideal time frame to get, but the problem is, i donno what car to get..lol

1) mazda (what i like is the semi auto manual transmission)
2) toyota ( donno.. lol.. maybe is more suitable for family and friends)
3) lexus ( only fancy car is RX300 but too ex at the moment, maybe in the near future..)

after much consideration, i will opt for toyota.. wonder if this brand of car got semi auto manual transmission.. (heard encores of NO!!) ok fine, thank you!!

What to do after ORD

hmm.. what to do after i ord??

some options here -

1) as a driver (reasons: erm, i drive police vehicles..lol.. and already got 3 yrs driving experience)

2) as a dog handler( reason: oh, spend my 1 1/2 yrs in dog unit.. handles quite a number of dangerous dogs.. compare to pet dogs, is nothing)

3) as a bumming around student (further studies for obvious reasons)

4) as a white collar worker (specialise in accounts, tax, audit)

7 more months to ord and no more uniformed groups.. i dont care about where im posted anymore.. be it in HQ, changi or other parts of singapore, i dont give a damn anymore.. as long i did my job, wait for my pay to come on the 12th.. im easily contented.. lol.. what for trying so hard when you cant get the things that you want.. maybe i will take it as a blessing in disguise for the posting to changi.. coming year end, time to review what i have did during this year and making resolution for the new year.. later post then..

The call

0511pm, my hp rings.. 9xxxxxx9.. this no very familiar.. eh, is my ex-friend's hp no.. i didnt pick up the first time as i donno why she called in the first place.. so the phone stop, i heaved a sigh of relief..

0512pm, same no again.. i was feeling very uneasy and piss off seeing the no now.. what does she want? so i took a deep breath and pick up the call..

me: "hello?"
caller: "where are you?"
me: "who is this?"
caller: "NICOLE!! where are you?"
me: "huh?"
caller: "where are you?"
me: "at home.."
caller: "eh..wait a min, hai.. called the wrong gary.."

i end the call without saying anything.. my no is still with her.. is it because i will give a prank call to her.. or sms to her.. i wont do that so long as the friendship is not there.. i have already deleted the no when the friendship is over..

note to someone whom i believe still read my blog.. pls delete the no as i dont want to have anything to do with you..

Donation denied

shit man today.. saw mr ungentleman at PS.. and those girls asking for donations at PS entrance.. picture this.. infront of me there is a group of girls.. and i saw this girl targeting me for my attention.. she never went for that group of girls, she went for me instead.. i saw her coming, but she was too fast.. she plead with me to part my $5 for a key-chain.. call me kor kor.. say she will go down on her knees to beg me and have stand at there for quite long.. in the end, i never give my $5 to her and also apologise to her.. yes, i was alone..

one thing, i never trust in all these surveys, donations or details about me through strangers walk up to me.. i got trick into one.. so if you have to blame, blame that person..

just called DY earlier in the evening.. he say he will bring me back on the condition that the new intake undergo SD training for another 3 months.. and i also told him what my mdm have advice me..

i realised alot of things regarding about my transfer to CSB.. firstly, i find the transfer as a blessing in disguise.. so-call a break from the stressful working environment..

secondly, those regulars in HQ have shift all the blame on me where they should be doing part of the security.. now they are suffering.. talking about not doing and now have to force to do it.. but they are not stupid either.. can call up to the prison and say not enough manpower..

i have a point to prove to them when im fully recharged and back to haunt them..

im such a bad boy today that i dont deserved to receive any present from Santa this yr.. what did i do? i drive to my deployment and caused Blacky to vomit twice.. this shows that my driving is reckless and aggressive.. or is it Blacky suffer from car sickness..

Blacky: "Grrr...!!"
Me: "NO!!" *stop growling at me..*
Blacky: "..........."

today had a talk with my mdm at her office.. requesting to go back to HQ.. she ask me for a reason which i cant find or either that is she feel that my reason is not strong enough.. she ask me to stay until next feb before she could allow me to go back to HQ.. provided that HQ still wants me and there is a vacancy.. hmm.. sounds very slim hor.. nvm.. still got DY..

seriously, if HQ does want me in the first place, why my mdm is fighting for me to stay at CSB? is it because she know that my heart lies in HQ? hmm..

tomorrow i will get to hear what my DY have to say to me..

Life in K-9 (58)

guys, i really need your help this time.. i in a fix.. today just gone back to HQ for the first time for inservice since transfer to Changi Sub Base.. yesterday i did come back as well, to exchange of vehicles, and dont ever try to drive from Choa Chu Kang to Changi and from Changi to Choa Chu Kang, it is very tiring..

pls give your honest opinion about where should i stay.. too many people saw me today and ask, "so, when you coming back?"
my reply to all, "i donno.." my mind was also saying, "why ask me? you all should be asking the management.." i know now HQ is short of manpower.. CSB also short of manpower.. then what you all want me to do? Cut me into 3 pieces meh.. one in HQ team A.. one in HQ team D.. one in CSB team D.. and besides that after i gone to CSB, now everyone in HQ ask me this qn.. im not that important lah.. life still carry on without me lah.. without me, you all also wont die.. still have to carry on with deployment..

HQ: high-ranking officers gives unneccessary stress.. portsdown is the only hell that i been through.. other places like QRP and CSB prison like Kaki Bukit Centre and Selarang Park is nothing, compared to Portsdown..

CSB: lack of training facilities for both handler and dog.. after deployment, can go and rest and dont have the determination to go and exercise..

both places got its good and bad.. not one place that ive been to is so-call perfect.. so can someone pls give me an answer/advice/suggestion? both places i have been and work before.. so what i given to you is those bad points.. i dont want to give any good points away as CSB doesnt want to have anything to do with HQ..

the deadline is on the 5th of dec.. although i have given my word that i would stay in CSB in an earlier post.. but from that period of time to this current post, something have happen to me in CSB.. is just that someone doesnt want me to have a new start in CSB, been constantly reminded of what i have did in HQ and doesnt really know what i have gone through in HQ.. he simply jumped to conclusions too easily and he only heard a one-sided story from HQ and not from me to make it a whole story.. what i been through in HQ is multiply by 10 fold.. and so to CSB, is already nothing new to me.. this guy, who have not experienced of HQ life, will find life difficult going for him if he use army tactics..

and another thing was, Blacky need training.. only place i could train is in HQ.. and the dog assessment and trial will come in march next yr..

so pls read the whole post very carefully, and give me the opinion/advice/suggestion in the tagboard before 5th of dec.. that where i will call my mdm in CSB and also DY-CO in HQ about the final destination..

Critic blogger

i think i no need to tell you about why i decided to be a critic for the celebrity blogger..

http://xiaxue.blogspot.com/2005/11/harrys-goblet-and-pot-of-fire.html

people have spoken about how the movie is and shouldnt give a high expectations and also shouldnt follow the book..

i know that we as a critic cant change the way she blog.. but she have done it as if the whole blogging world is to herself.. the theory is the same as to the new dish and food that wanted to try out but yet people say, "it sucks!!"

just back from bugis.. went window shopping with my buddies.. it's been a long time since i give my opinions on the clothing that they wanted to buy.. or vice versa..

i think i could be a critic for this celebrity blogger.. is just a matter of time.. details will be reveal later.. tired..

and pls, for the sake of those wanted to try a new dish, meal, food that is on offer or limited time only.. dont give comments.. you dont like then dont like.. dont say sucks and make me thinking, "if really not nice, what for they make the effort to make the new dish to let us try.." different people got different taste, some might like it, some might not.. everytime hear it, i will be very reluctant to try it out.. and everytime the result i taste the food is different.. either is nice or not nice.. at least hearing not nice gives you the urge wanting to try the new food even more..

woohoo.. saw chio bu when deployed at selarang park DRC.. not ordinary chio bu.. but girls who committed minor offences from girls home.. they and those boys from boys home came to the prison for an excursion.. i donno what is their visit here for.. i just take my dog and off to my designated area..

i had the most irritating people just now while watching movie, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.. why i say irritating? that easy, because those people just stand up and walk up and down along the aisle just to go to the toilet.. i cant even have the peace to see the whole show without any people moving around.. not only that, there are some people who are late for the show, have to obstruct our view while checking whether they are getting the right seats.. argh.. the movie atmosphere is ruined by those people..

seriously, i cant understand why some people's blog got so much attention that they are literally falling into critics trap.. i dont wish to say who is it but from the initials (XX) you will know.. critics have been constantly cast an eye at her blog.. no doubt that she is a celebrity for blogging.. but the way she is handling now is a problem.. she laugh at what the critics say.. she think that the critics are childish.. she dont wish to talk about it and yet she blog about it in a long post.. i can understand other people's blog been shoved into the limelight out of a sudden through newspaper.. some cant take it, some can take it.. and i have utmost respect for them.. notice the difference here.. whatever critics throw at them, they just keep quiet.. but as for XX's blog, she throw back what critics have throw and causes critics to throw even more at her..

XX's popularity isnt that hot as in 2 yrs ago.. her posts are not that interesting anymore.. im not a critic for her..

the question came inevitable this morning.. "do you want to stay in CSB..?"

i hesitated for awhile before adding, "erm, i think i stay in CSB.." i know, i wanted to go back to HQ initially.. but in my mind, i have a thousand and one reason to give.. the environment is really sucks.. you got to face those unreasonable officers.. doing 12hrs portsdown.. dont wish to see someone.. the list goes on.. but ultimately, life in CSB is a new start for me.. no stress.. no need to see those officers' face..

i donno whether those officers will play another trick on me again.. asking me to return after a 3 month stint at there..

call my friend in SOC who happen to be a physical trainer and help me to check my IPPT results again.. i told my supervisor and friends about my result but fail, they all got shocked.. hopefully it is a mistake.. but it was not to be.. just receive a call from him that i have to retake all over again.. argh.. nvm.. just take it as a one off exercise..

and another thing will like to add is i finally got my police driving permit (PDP).. and got a taste of sending deployment as a driver.. haha.. Blacky, you dont have a choice now.. *Blacky glups*

think i need to take a pic of Blacky in case anything happen.. an obituary pic.. lol.. nah.. will take some pic with my best partner in crime for the last half a yr and post the best in Friendster.. i think i fallen in love with Blacky.. his eyes.. his look as a wolf.. his black muscular body..im so used to those prison warden say, "wah..like wolf.. so black, at night cannot see.." the way he falls when going up on vehicle is so clumsy that you say, "orh-bi good.." he also wont scold back to you.. Blacky is so well loved in this unit that everyone want to play with him and shake hands with him.. feel so jealous.. "Paws? Blacky.."

one thing i find it interesting to share that Blacky is scared of insects.. either he will hide behind me when the insect is infront of me or he will look as if the insect is new to this world when he is lying down..

hai.. pass all my station in IPPT but still fail.. why.. because the min passing rate is 18 points while i got 16.. sigh.. and i have to do it all over again..

pull up - i did 6.. so is 2 pts
sit up - 45.. 5 pts
standing board jump - 232.. 3 points
shuttle run - 9.8 sec.. 5 points
2.4km run -12.35 - 1 points..

either i do more pull up to gain more points.. or i run faster a bit in my 2.4km run.. haha..

seriously, i cant believe what the management is doing.. wheeling and shifting personnel here and there as if it is like a playground.. send someone back to sembawang DRC.. send me to changi.. regulars asking to post to changi or even transfer out..

i think i will make a final decision about whether to stay at CSB until i ord or coming back to HQ after my IPPT.. Of all the stations i fear most, chin-up is a big headache.. if i could just nick a pass, i will stay at CSB.. if i fail, then i have to see what my ops officer have to say when i laid all my aces down with a telephone call to him..

why have to wait until IPPT? for now, my main worry is only IPPT.. once i clear it, i will have a crystal clear idea where i will be..

the politics is too much to bear.. do we SC really have to keep our mouth shut and just serve for them.. i admired my former team colleague who did that to them and he is still attached to HQ..

my IPPT is just five days away.. at the moment, i can only do 3 chin up.. and i have to do another 3 in order to pass..

now i know why those who been to CSB called this place a heaven.. no doubt about it.. no stress.. no eyes watching what you doing even when you are in locker.. now i donno whether i should go back to HQ or stay at CSB.. both places want me.. not that im trying to be proud, but my humble reply is, "i have no power to say where i want to go or stay.. is the management.. even i try to stay in HQ also no use.. if they give me a choice, i will like to stay now, not because i starting to like this place, but is because of one person that i dont want to see, and that is my former TL..if after 3 months, they want me back to HQ, i also cant argue back.."

the people seem to trust me alot.. even understudy for selarang park just need one shift, after that you are on your own.. the foot patrol at there is legendary.. i finish it in about 15 mins.. is like tracking with your dog on a path to find criminals..fast pace..

Confused decisions

woohoo.. some one is angry that his ideal partner is been snatched by other guys.. this guy in the first place, shouldnt be angry with those guys who are trying to woo her.. he should be angry is his gf.. if her heart is faithful, she will stay with her bf no matter how hard the trial is or how long the trial is.. no prizes for guessing who this girl is, she is none other than my ex-friend..

even when i meet her for the first time and the last time at her birthday celebration.. she say that she will patch up with this current bf.. i was like, "huh.. just because some guys like her, she have to break up with her bf.. and after the situation settled in her own way, she patch back.."

so can anyone feel my anger back then.. thank you.. the anger no longer exists, the wound is slowing healing.. all thanks to God.. for taking away this bad feeling by giving me love, care and concern by my friends, colleague and family..

first tour in selarang park DRC was in a workshop where those inmates are pouring cement to make into a brick.. and i have to be there due to a fighting case earlier in the day.. luckily there is a shelter for us or else i will faint to the hot and humid weather.. i was dehydrated.. even one water bottle also not enough.. after that, went to the dog hut and rest there.. because of dehydration, i feel sick and endure till the end.. the best thing was that i have yet to went for the prowling that last 1 hr due to raining.. so you could imagine the distance and the area of selarang park..

last sat i saw jamie teo while playing pool with my friends.. and also saw my squad mate when my duty at selarang park finishes.. he was downgrade to VC due to AWOL.. he have to serve extra in NS, the day he went AWOL till the day he finish his course in VC.. we going to ORD soon, he still serving ns in vc uniform..

life begins in changi now.. ulu.. and have to wait for a bus is like waiting for money to drop from the sky..

some very weird rules in changi sub base..
- one week must work at least 44 hrs.. more than that considered EHO.. if this rule is implemented in HQ, i donno got how many hours to claim..

-go to prison must wear beret and salute the duty officers.. i dont see myself doing this in portsdown or qrp.. only applied to selarang park..

the price of taking transport from my home to changi sub base is more than what the price i took to yew tee..

HQ: take bus and a direct train to yew tee..
CSB: take bus to kallang and board the train to tanah merah before taking bus to sub base..

is this justified to go back to HQ now.. wahaha..

oh, about how k-9 work ah.. lol.. well, when you see k-9 HQ exterior (buildings, field, kennel, training room, briefing room), it can consider the best.. manpower wise, let just say that those senior ranking officers only think for themselves, but never really give a consideration about the way we work, lack of manpower, and just because some dog teams began with the word EDD or GPGD doesnt mean that they can neglect secondary duties like base guard.. they only think of attending emergency cases.. since in HQ the time is so free, why cant help out in base guard, instead go and take a rest in the lounge.. so much of free time that k-9 is receiving complaint letters or petition letters..

you know what, my team in HQ have only one SD personnel left.. talk about someone replacing me.. lol.. yah.. a new GPGD personnel taking over.. but his main roles as a GPGD is not used at all till this team get another SD..

they even dare to say this, "once we clear THESE shit for this 3 months, things will then start to improve.."

so that means during this 3 months, everything will go haywire lah.. and im foreseeing it.. who ask them not to clear the shit that lies there for donno how many donkey years..

during these 3 months, i will blog about the life in changi sub base so as to let HQ personnel read about it..

i never expect this kind of news coming to my way.. someone who is close to me, will backstab me.. here is how the incident unfold..

upon hearing that i will be posted to CSB temporaily, the second in command of ops officer told me, "even if you were to come back to HQ, you wont get to work with your team again.. the team doesnt want you.." this direct way of saying it to me was a hit to my heart.. and i began to wonder who was the one that doesnt want me in his team.. i narrowed down to 2 guys.. one from GP who is overall in charge of GP and SD.. and the other one was the team leader.. both give different opinion about me.. i even pleaded with the team leader to help me stay in the team.. but he help also dont want to help, go one big round saying that, "he can take over CO so as to let me stay in his team.." at first i thought he was joking with me but when i receive word that he was the one that transfer me out.. i feel that he was scarstic in the way he was telling me.. "yah, im the one who ask to transfer you out.. i cant stand your stubborness.." a stab at the back and the trust is no more there.. the talking term is no more there.. even as he tried to tell me something this morning, i turn a deaf ear..

there are many reasons as to why i get to transfer out..
1) due to my stubborness
2) due to my cousin who worked in dog unit before
3) due to another handler whose dog bit a prison warden
4) due to my conversion
5) due to my distance to Changi is nearer
6) due to lack of man-power in CSB
7) due to other factors which was not told to me

any one or everyone could be the reason.. i will blog another time about the way k-9 works..

Life in K-9 (49)

today, i literally prepared for all kind of news coming to my way..bad, good, i take it in all my stride..

news 01 - i will be transfer to changi sub base this coming shift.. damn fast.. but i will be at there for 3 months before coming back to HQ..

news 02 - guess which team i will get to go to after i come back from changi stint? team A- the team that is famous for the high rate of mc.. i send a warning now, dont play mc if not, all will suffer.. i cant believe that a female staff sgt will want me in her team.. i dont want to blog what she told me.. is damn gross..

news 03 - 1 week never do prison duties due to conversion is a refreshing feeling.. neither do i feel bored, sian or whatsoever..

news 04 - same as news 03.. blacky didnt get to drive around for that duration of time, hence he vomitted along the way to portsdown.. oh well, need to bring him out more now..

at first i was quite sceptical about my most senior ops officer told me that i will be going to csb temporaily.. i cant trust his words at all as i fall into his trap the first time round where i request to take NDD.. he ask me to send an email through my TL help and then he send me for SD training.. once bitten twice shy.. i ask my dy-co and another ops officer.. they both assure me that i will be back once the new SD training team passed out and posted to CSB.. if not, im in for a ride once again..

the most senior ops officer have a new nickname.. and he is called, "mr unreliable singh"..trust me, the experience of fooling around by him is not a nice feeling..

Life in K-9 (48)

conversion course finish and my posting to CSB is like inevitable.. i praying for a miracle..

yah.. i know that i complains alot, talks alot or even make some unnecessary remarks.. in the course of work, we get to face some people who makes our life difficult.. but what im doing is just to relieve stress and not just keep inside my heart.. i still doing my duty as usual.. heck, whatever problem we face, we just speak to our supervisors or the people around us or even friends.. but people seem to think that im overdoing it.. hah.. whatever.. the damage already been done before i came into this unit.. the relation between k-9 and prison will never patch even if both were from the same ministry.. dont wish to blog about this topic anymore, tired is the only word i can describle to all these incident..

on a personal note, i find that most of my dreams are becoming reality.. this is what i notice as if i have been to this place, see this person before or did this action..

take for instance, the girl that my friend want to know.. i thought it was my old friend because they both look alike.. but when i saw the girl again, i was like, "where did i see this girl before?!?"

even for my conversion, i never been to fourth ave before.. but when i went there, again i was like, "eh, this place i got go before leh.." sort of thing..

at this rate, what i dream in becoming reality is coming too fast.. there are some dreams i can remember but im hoping it will not realise, because it will bring back painful memories that i dont want to go through again.. there are some people i really dont wish to see again.. even if it really happen, i dont wish to go through what i saw in my dreams.. but i know that is just defying against own will..

two days of driving doesnt really make a story.. just that the weather doesnt really let us learn what we wanted to learn.. what we intend to learn is cornering.. lol..

tomorrow is the last day and we will be driving the land rover off road with different gear conditions.. i dont even know that driving in different gear condition in a terrain will make a difference too.. haha..

Life in K-9 (46)

sorry guys.. as you all know, first day was the assessment.. and i passed.. P-A-S-S-E-D!!! nope, im not happy about it.. 5 guys.. 2 from dog unit and the rest from PCG.. 1 of the PCG guys have to be sent back as he drive and dash across the red-light.. immediate failure.. and he was trying for the 2nd time.. pity him..

i just cant fail on purpose or have the intention to do that.. i really cant do that.. i donno why.. maybe the strict briefing at the start drilled into my head.. the course is tougher than any other driving school as in we have to drive within the limit.. mini-van speed limit is 60 km/h means 60 km/h.. we cant overtake to the centre lane or right lane.. i nearly fall asleep on the way back, but i was not the one driving back.. saloon car is according to the road speed condition..

we have 2 groups with 2 instructor.. one group was PCG and the other was PDU(dog unit).. our instructor is a gurkha.. funny chap with lots of lame jokes.. we are call the SIA.. either we are Speeding In Action or Silent In Action.. the other group was a SI, they say that he was quite strict with them on the road..

after briefing, we have to check the car before driving.. and we drive up to woodlands and have our lunch.. then drive back to the school for break.. after that, we have a lecture on car control.. following that, we drive the mini-van to tuas and have tea-break before heading back again..

Life in K-9 (45)

right!! road hog at the extreme right lane.. drive over the speed limit.. speeding on the left lane.. no signal.. never give way to pedestrians.. worst, knock down pedestrians and drive off.. give the instructor the worst ride ever in his entire life..

as far as i and the other dog handler is concerned, we have no intention of changing places.. we were from the same training team, and i know of his dog pretty much well.. if we get to change, the routine is changed totally, new environment, everything is new.. we also have the same thinking that the distance is not the problem, and that we already used to the environment that we are working at..

Life in K-9 (44)

did i hear wrongly or what.. after my conversion, i have to go to changi sub-base.. seriously, i cant find any logical reason behind it.. i get to hear that one of the dog at there bit the prison warden hand.. this handler have to hand over the dog and take a new one.. further more, he will be transfer back to HQ..

120th intake is here.. new sc are here.. the most is wait for 3 months before there will be people deploy at changi.. what for ask me go there and come back again.. isnt that abit disruptive to the way team is operating.. if anyone is ord, there is at least the replacement to make the transition a smooth one.. but i have to go there because i have a police driving permit and someone dog bit a human hand.. heck, then i rather forego the conversion and stay in HQ.. although i have to go for the course, i can fail it..

Buddies for life

the experience of giving up something willingly in exchange for another which value is much more higher, is beyond this world. Thanks God for giving me this valuable gift in exchange for something which i really dont wish to give up hope on but i have to do it willingly, will i get to see the wonderful feeling.

and also have to thank my buddies whom we share a 9 yr bond.. nothing is able to come between us.. we always have a healthy banter, after that we had a good laugh at it.. movies, play pool, having buffet during lunch, dinner and even supper time.. watch soccer together at CHIJMES and the best part was knowing gals.. cassanova or playboys, they are the ones whom i can related open-minded, with nothing to hide or any secrets to keep..

alright man! i'm now famous for the "free food no more" at portsdown.. come on man, since when did i insist on having the food.. Insist as in not heeding the words of the staff and put the food into my mouth or what.. the way the staff tell me off scarstically, i do back the same to him by walking off and putting down the fork and spoon scarstically.. i rather faint than to take the food.. see which responsibility bears the heaviest..

some staff in portsdown may have change their attitude towards me since this incident.. but im glad to say this.. this should be the attitude.. we are providing a service for this prison yet no welfare, no benefits, and on the other hand, have to kana by those staff who determined to eat us.. as long as we are doing our job without interfering the staff, why do we have to be eaten by them.. many people might see that what i did is only to stand up for myself.. in this case, i have to say no.. im helping the other dog handlers as well.. just because the staff at there have a bad day in the office, doesnt mean that we have to go through the same as them.. why not have a change of roles.. i be the staff at prison and the staff be the dog handler for just 6 hrs.. no more no less..

and there are some groups of people will say have your meal outside before going to work lah.. yup, we did that, but after 5-6 hrs, you will going hungry again what.. somemore night shift is 12-13 hrs without food.. you think our stomach wont call for food by growling..

when my most senior ops officer got to hear what i did, i have to defend myself by saying that we are providing them a service but no welfare, this quote was also agree by my colleagues.. guess what he say.. "no, your thinking is wrong.. you are serving for the nation, to secure safety and peace for the public.." this sentence is indirectly telling me that if i faint and die, i will died of a honourable cause.. kns..

this show that k-9 are inviting people to bully them without resistance..HQ staff have requested to leave either to sub-bases or other division when we need people at the moment.. it just give us a bigger headache in searching of more people to enter k-9.. there wont be a doubt if complain letters start coming in..

i can blog about this till the cow comes home.. all the problems that we face during our deployment, be it in HQ, checkpoints, ferry terminals, airport, prisons.. are those senior officers who created them..not even some respect is given.. just literally spit some salivia on to us..

Friends again?

huh.. what the hell.. someone want to be friends with me.. no, is not a stranger but is someone whom i have sever ties for like 7 yrs.. hmm..

i saw his whole profile despite not connected to him in any other way..

"1st things! I treasure my frens ALOT. SO im willing to do
almost anything for frens dat are worth it.. I wont
tolerate any form of betrayal.Step on my tail and i make u
pay for it.. Im the sort who gives alot and hope my frens
reciprocate but if they don't den they are definately a
waste of time and effort.. Along the way i've also realised
frens are not FOREVER? and ya i belive Genuine ones will
stick by me and sucky ones can juz disappear for all i
care..."

do i worth as a friend to him in the first place? didnt i was the sucky friend that disappear for 7 yrs? although i dont have any grudges against him, but this request do need some consideration..

Life in K-9 (42)

im very tired, very sian and sick of coming to work.. 2 security dog handlers is not enough in a team.. either portsdown 1st shift or 2nd shift, rotate till a new dog handler comes in.. the breathing space is getting tighter and tighter.. is like just work and work, no fun, no training, no rest, no morale support from team colleague..

there are 2 new dog handlers posted to HQ.. but 1 of them, i feel they put him in the wrong team.. or 2? i donno.. 1 team is play mc till "other-team-know-who-is-going-to-take-mc-the-next-tour" of mentality.. another team, well, short of manpower, got 1 going to ord, so they post him in this team.. hey, how about our team? so-call the most hardworking team, the most stressed team to be in, the lowest rate mc in the team(really??).. if one of our team colleague never opt for base guard just so that he can be contacted(lame excuse) or another one who have leg injury, went for surgery and have a long term mc.. since i came in 4 months ago, i yet to see him reporting for duty..

we (me and my colleague) have to endure for another 3-4 months before someone comes in.. i think my colleague can prepared for his ord liao.. one comes one go where is the replacement..

my ops officer say correctly.. HQ team need at least 20 dog handlers.. but everyone will say, "where to find so many people? space so limited, kennel not enough.."

one thing im very sure of is, if my colleague is not around either on course or report sick.. let just say that i dont want to go through 12 hr of "worse than inmates kind of treatment"

portsdown personnel, minority of them treat us machiam like dogs.. no more food given to us, we have to buy coupons..they rather let the food go into waste or feed the cat.. not even a minimum of welfare is given, big fat mosquitoes is spotted due to their feast on those dog handlers who deployed at there.. hot and humid weather.. limited movement.. officers whose job is only know how to eat up those dog handlers.. discriminate us and treat those CISCO officers better.. prison and police are under the same roof yet CISCO getting the better treatment from them..

what i want is someone to hear our complains, our ill-treatment at there and provide us a win-win solution for the benefit of the prison and dog unit.. i donno why the mentality of those officers only know how to eat us, yet doesnt even have a clue we are suffering mentally.. what i say is no use, just fart and you will feel better.. these complains will still be around after i ord.. the prison will close down in 2012 or only the illegal immigrants will stop coming to singapore then the prison will close, whichever is earlier.. anyone want to bet the day illegal immigrant never come to singapore.. hopefully this someone will know our predicement, close the prison once and for all.. till this day comes, i feeling hard done down here..

people can understand the situation what we went through, but what i want is not just those advice like, "aiya, forget it, serve and go off liao" but rather, "ok, action will be taken against this officer.." lol.. dream on.. i think i need to go somewhere and really shout out loud to empty those negative feelings.. ive been bottling it up since i started as a security dog handler..

Life in K-9 (41)

only one person will know what i want to blog today.. this morning went for duty and bring out blacky to go to portsdown.. before leaving the base, i groom him and spotted something.. a big lump with blood drying up.. the wound is very fresh.. so i call upon the kennel hand and ask, "is this enzyme?"

the answer was, "not so sure.." but i was not convinced and ask the second opinion.. the second answer was, "yup, is enzyme..cut the fur, apply idoine and the powder can liao.." i starting to get worry liao..but i donno why, i seek the third opinion.. no answer given.. if it is really enzyme, the para-vet sure turn me upside down and poke my ass.. 6 hrs of agonising wait while on duty is no joke.. so i quickly came back after duty and ask my colleague.. his answer lifted my mood.. it was a lump.. like pimples.. he help me to squeeze out the white substance and the blood until it dries up.. after that i apply alcohol, idoine and the powder.. i have to do it everyday until it heal.. blacky, drink more water.. or else you will have more popping up from your body and you will look like a polka dog..

i think im caught on camera while buying my dinner at novena square on the way back home.. i saw chew chor meng hosting the show, "where is singapore?" with ezann lee.. wow.. beauty sia..

after that, been approached by a prudential advisor about some savings plan.. was quite interested but abit hard to commit due to some cash flow problems at the moment.. in the end, i didnt reject but once the cash flow have eased, i will sign up for that plan..

Renting car

i feel my anger in this ex-friend is justified afterall.. get to hear some stuff from my friend when we attend our friend's wedding.. PCG at kallang base will move to brani base in november..

yesterday went to rent a car as the family car is needed by my uncle.. first time renting, was quite disappointed in the condition of the car.. i got a car where the battery is weak.. i experience a dead car when we are going back home after all those fun playing pool.. lucky got some helpful gentlemen to help us kickstart the car.. in the future, will rent from the company if possible and as and when i need it.. price reasonable, age limit in renting the car is the lowest i seen in other companies..but not this type of car..

Life in K-9 (40)

i told one of my colleague about my past problem.. can you imagine the horror when he told me to talk to this ex-friend? hell no, man.. that was 6 months ago..the problem never solve, created a molehill into a mountain, no communication, nothing.. i rather let it there and left my anger intact in this matter.. than to talk things out.. it must be the weirdest advice i ever receive..

come on, the anger is still there.. breaking of friendship without saying out anything is the most coward thing to do..

the dinner was so-so only.. 8 dishes of food doesnt really make the stomach goes bloated in an hr..

Life in K-9 (39)

my off days are all taken up.. sigh.. tonight is k-9's dinner at SPANS.. and tomorrow is my in-service.. and have to take Blacky out for a swim.. ahem, i dont want to do the extra job of bringing Blacky back to bathe him after the swim.. hopefully, i will not get to bring Blacky out..

now, i dont want to say anything, or complain anything liao.. feel like cursing some swear words in here.. get to say something about what they say that they will do portsdown, and they aim me.. now, never say anything, also kana aim.. i make this line very clear from now onwards, whatever duties that you assign to me, i just do it without complain.. just my luck that i get to see the true colours of 2 "act hardworking" colleagues.. the meaning of having fun during work is not there anymore and i find it very hard to trust what they say now..

my conversion course is on 11-14 oct.. i dont get to go with the other SC..as the other SC will be taking an earlier date.. donno who is also attending this course at this date from my unit..

i browse through some profiles and pics in friendster.. i get to see Kelvin Tan from PCG is still there.. erm, with this ex-friend of mine and some guys as well.. definitely a team photo.. hmm.. guess he signed on.. the last time i saw him in PCG was during my npcc days.. going on an excursion to PCG and get to ride one of the boats.. he was my secondary school friend.. the world is so small that they are in the same team.. oh well..

Life in K-9 (38)

i feel that whoever passed out from the security dog training and posted to HQ, should do a 12 hr portsdown.. so that he's able to think of something to do during this period of time, and also not to take time for granted.. some may differ from my views as is just, "sit down stay!!" kind of routine.. people might think, why work so hard?

my answer will be, im not the sort of person who sit down and do nothing and let time rot my life away.. i cant do that though i did try.. maybe that my mentality.. i need to do something in order to pass time.. same goes to baseguard.. im not complaining but i have accepted how k-9 HQ and been deployed to prison works.. hence my stand in not signing on earlier in the yr..

after doing 12 hrs of portsdown, once change to a 6 hr, the time pass even faster..

Life in K-9 (37)

i never thought i will get to do 12 hrs portsdown.. but it has to be.. and i join the list of people who did it and leave their sweat on it.. my sweat is on it now.. overall i can say is a priceless experience.. time flew very fast.. i thought i got to stay at the gate for the whole day, but how wrong i am.. i get to stay at dog hut most of the time.. i was thinking quite negatively along the way to portsdown as i was trying to think of how to pass the time faster.. just by staying at dog hut is the best option.. get to sms people, call people without prison officers finding out..

hopefully this is the last time i do a 12 hrs portsdown in the day time.. i donno how to explain it but is not worth it though it is priceless..

lol.. my friend who get to know a gal is labelled as a casanova!!! targeting those aged smaller than him...wahahha..

hai.. donno whether should say this or not.. although i have yet to enter a relationship.. i never feel tired, be it physically or mentally, in pursuing the targets.. irony, the only target i ever feel tired is the ex-friend of mine.. all but she lasted more than 1 yr.. when i told this to my friend, he say that if you experience problems persist in the relationship and feel tired.. there is a need to examine what went wrong.. even if you have goes through a long term relationship and out of sudden, you feel tired.. time to take a step back and look.. and i find it very true according to what he says..

i never knew my thinking was coincides with the Singapore Sports Council where they are going to introduce computer gaming as a sport.. this is in today's news.. and further more, i ask some of my working colleagues whether they are interested in my proposal.. and they say anything.. lol.. good good.. but this so-call clan at the moment will only take effect after we ord.. what we able to do now is meet up and slowly play and gel as a team.. yah yah.. now im really thinking quite far already..haha..

today, my friend wanted to know a gal through my help.. well.. get to know her in the end, she's 17 and got tattoo.. she look quite alike to one of my female friends.. hmm.. seperate at birth??

boring sunday!! really cant find anything to do.. is been a long time since i sweat out.. but my body just dont let me do it.. hai.. tomorrow have to do it no matter what..

i have a very wildest thought.. to all colleagues who like playing CS, wonder if we could form a clan out of it.. wahaha.. what should we name for the clan?? K-9.. Police.. Dogs.. PDU.. or ORD?? i have the intention to resurrect my playing skills in this game again.. is been a long time since i played this game..i know i know, this game now is only based on those hard-core players who have a clan and a base to support with..those leisure players are gone.. just a thought that all..

i was at orchard area this afternoon..lol.. but didnt get to see the commotion at the orchard mrt.. at the time where the guresome find, i was at cineleisure watching movie..

my TL have put up the papers for the conversion..

i dont think anyone will believe this.. have you ever see a dog catch a mouse.. although i never get to see it, but there are photos which convince me that the dog have taken over the cat job.. pls, is not Blacky.. even the sight of coachroaches scared the wits out of him..

hai.. k-9 is a place where you can really let your imagination runs wild.. we have so much time to spare that back-stabbing, gossips, politics are the only things to do.. poor man-management, even those who are holding leadership qualities are questionable.. i dont want to interfere anymore.. what i say now has happened in the past, they dont take the effort to correct the problem afterall.. k-9 is overall a family.. a dsyfunctional family.. some even urge me to sign on in k-9.. i get to see all these, think i will sign on?!?! if i sign on, im nothing but a puppet whose moves are controlled...

Red bomb

RED BOMB COMING!! i never thought i will get this so early in my life.. my secondary school gal friend is getting married this month end.. she is the first i should say..

time flew very fast since we left school and goes our separate ways 5 yrs ago.. it seem like yesterday that we left school..

i couldnt give a damn about it that i say directly at someone.. im not afraid to speak out as long as i made my feelings known.. people might think that, "hey, this skinny fella, think i can eat him.." well.. think again..

im also not a person that say sorry or apologise that easily.. so what if my blog contains some so-call over-sensitive issues or some unfounded issues.. im not so much about pride or principle person.. but rather, i let my mind to tell me whether what i did is wrong or right.. in short, my conscience.. if i feel that i have overdid it, fine enough, i apologise..

saying of sorry makes me think back of the past.. well, to cut the story short.. a few months back, get to know this gal.. after that confess to her, everything went downhill since then.. thereafter, she say that i was over-sensitive and break friendship over a comment that i make (entry made on feb 07, 2005).. i have to say sorry about that and i dont even feel guilty commenting that.. kao.. friendship patch after that, and then let her know my blog.. i dont find it a mistake to give it to her after all.. she find fault in the past issue where we settle long ago..is like back to square one.. break friendship again.. i dont fight for it after that..

i also dont care even if my remarks is scarstic or unknowingly hurt people sub-conscious..some people make their comments bluntly to me.. if they can take it, i too can make some blunt comments either.. how people treat me as a friend or whatsoever, i will treat back the same treatment they treat me.. if the value of friendship is not there, what for i fight to increase the value of it..

heard that my dog assessment came in 7th.. to tell you frankly, i dont deserve this placing.. i had to do the revaluation all over again just to please those who voice out for me.. and my performance that day is really sluggish.. imagine hearing those unpleasant stories before the revaluation.. will you have the mood to do it again..

People that i disliked

i hate two types of people.. one is putting words into my mouth where i didnt say it at all.. and another one is say something but didnt meant it.. yet i have a colleague who did both to me..

damn pissed off upon hearing what he did.. dont even have the morale to go to work anymore..

i requested to my TL whether i could go for conversion.. lol.. he talk to the driver pool in charge and agree to let me go.. except that he have yet to put up papers.. i shall wait for the day to come..

imagine im driving with Blacky on board..corner here.. corner there..i make sure he will get the hell of the ride.. make sure that he ride until vomit out everything.. until he waves a white flag to surrender.. until he no longer get car-sickness.. wahaha.. kua zhang..

hmm, money seem to have the power to unlock those ambitions that we want to do in our mind.. fame, success, power.. just to name these where all aiming to have.. im not an exception either..

money, well, make the world goes round.. but on the other hand, money is the root of all evils..

i made an enquiry regarding about yesterday's assessment.. i find it very unfair that other HQ teams get to assess the dog handlers at base while our team have to be assessed at choa chu kang cemetary..

hence i have to meet the chief trainer this tues..

i not really particular about entering the annual dog trial but the place to assess should be at the same place.. not one at choa chu kang cemetary.. the others at HQ..

i thought about it after the assessment.. and this came to my mind when i was outside.. lol.. and ask my team colleagues to enquire for me..

i think in term of fairness, no one can really win me.. even the problem where EDD personnel resting where they should helping out in the base guard.. after i voice it out to the TL, the EDD personnel now have 2 in base guard..

today i have my dog handling assessment.. boy, wish i could have more surprises install for me..

firstly, the weather.. fine, cloudy, windy and no sun.. "out of sight" full marks..

secondly, off leash heeling work.. Blacky didnt lag behind me.. instead he was beside me all the time.. another bonus..

but here come the disappointment..

distance control.. before i could give any command, Blacky did it already.. so i have to do it more than twice..

sent away.. as expected, Blacky did go away upon hearing the command, but not even to the half way mark..

others like on-leashing heeling and baiting.. all turn out to be okay..

passed can already.. was kind of pressurised by CSO Tiger.. because he expect me to be in the Top 5.. but well, it was not meant to be.. well, as long i did my best and pass can liao..

Life in K-9 (31)

i was not very comfortable with the sight of my rank along my shoulders.. lol.. some people promoted already.. arms spread big big as if they walk must have winds.. i still need to get used to it..

today is the first time Blacky didnt vomit in one of the longest trip.. not in distance but the time that we are travelling in the car.. hmm.. can i push him for patrol now.. lol.. will give him some treats..

tomorrow die die must do "send away" at portsdown's dog hut.. even if to the extent of waking the inmates up, i still have to do it.. i could imagine SI Chee reaction if he sees Blacky looking at me blur blur instead of going away upon hearing the command..

exactly 1 week to go for the assessment.. argh.. been getting nervous or not really in the mood.. once the dog can sense the moodliness in the handler, he will go moody as well..

lol.. everybody is asking me when is my team dog assessment.. they seem more nervous than me..

i have called mcdonalds 24hr twice within a week.. food served is still hot.. great customer service..within 20 mins the food have arrived.. but customer record should have been better and not repeating everytime when i make an order..

Multi-level marketing

minci, actually i work in this line before.. the market itself is too saturated.. once your closed one know that you work in this line, they will avoid you as a plague.. but on the other hand, you now have 2 offers.. your dad's fren wife and the designer job..

this market is either you call your friends to join you or sell product to earn commission.. this is what they call multi-level marketing.. i experience it before.. not my cup of tea..

as for your relationship problem, does these 2 guys from your current workplace? if yes, perhaps they are trying to sweet talk you..

if there is anything i could help you, dont hesitated.. my msn is always on..

these 2 days, the topic seem to be this ex-friend of mine.. friends who know about this friendship, ask me how does it goes.. the answer was, "well, not friends anymore.." all were shocked but not surprised either.. hmm.. how long was that? 5 months ago..

this is the best kept secret.. lol.. get to know her in my training ground despite my squad mates all wanting to know her.. friendship was a low-profile.. only a selected few know about this friendship.. even when the friendship broke off, no one knows either.. and i have been keeping my anger in silence as well..

one of them even told me this, "well, she seem to be getting help from nowhere in her workplace.. some of my squadmates was disgusted that she always able to get out of those sticky situation.. since i have know her for 1 yr.. i find that she isnt that mature as i expected.."

another one say this, "just treat her as a kid lah.. or a kid that doesnt want to grow up.." this remark tickled my funny bones..lol..

i was not surprised about what he say to me.. it like been hitting the nail on the coffin..

get to know other things about her as well.. such as she change team from Charlie to Alpha.. her Alpha schedule is the same as my schedule.. she work i work.. i off she off as well..

so to those who know about this friendship but doesnt know that it didnt last, i will be happy to say this, "we are not friends anymore.."

hai.. i seem to be the storage room for all the problems that my team face.. my team, to those people who know, are so-called the best team.. to let the other teams see how our team should be run.. but behind the smoke-screen, problems seem to be surfacing every now and then..

base guard.. yesterday's tour, manpower was stretched to the max.. yup, is the weekend.. we got 3 base guard, 2 regulars and 1 ns personnel.. so after i was done with my prison duty(p1)..i claim EHO and inform my DTL and team members.. but to my horror, the DTL say that if enough man, then can claim.. but i reiterated by saying that my team members say ok already.. then the DTL LL, and let me claim.. but can you imagine my look in the face when i saw EDD personnel resting after their ops.. are they not your men, DTL? cant they help out in the base guard?

well, if that the case, i might as well sign on as a regular.. why.. because regular get to rest after their ops.. while the ns personnel work for 12 hrs.. training then go for prison duty.. or after prison duty come back and do base guard..

our team is so divided.. playing a game of politics between GPGD and EDD personnel.. hence, even we SD are not spared.. we are always on our toes especially while working..

further more, our TL suggestion was so cute and funny that we felt that he has shot himself in the foot.. he say that the deployment will rotated each month so as to let those in GPGD learn..

im sick and tired of it.. even one of the member want to quit this team and join other team.. and rumors have been circulating that another member will be kick out.. hai..

Sick like a dog

yesterday doesnt seem to go right for me.. firstly, missed the first bus.. afraid of been late, took a cab to yishun before taking the train to work.. the ride in the cab was the most scary experience for me.. the driver can sleep while driving.. and occupy 2 lanes..

after that went out for training from base.. caught in the rain before heading back to do portsdown 2nd shift duty.. once i caught in the rain without bathing..i will get sick.. see how i got sick in the end..

at portsdown, got to do a riot exercise.. after the exercise, my head feel heavy and my mind seem to be spinning around me.. finish the 6 hr of duty, and head back to base..

feel better after vomitted.. and head home with the long MRT trip.. the driver of that particular train was damn playful.. like to play with the brakes.. kao.. was jerking from left to right..

lucky got out of the designated station(novena) in time, before doing a merlion.. took the bus home and had a hot shower.. before heading to bed..

overall, my whole body was reacting hot and cold towards me.. breaking out in hot sweats in an air-conditioned room.. and feel cold at the mrt platform waiting for the train to arrive..

now feeling better.. will be heading to work later..
