I'm out again! Finally after 5 days of waiting... I was so really anticipating this week's walk out as i could finally meet the taiwanese again! Though this time round only got Ah mao and pillow.. but yeah we had a good catching up just now at City Hall.. They will be heading back to Taiwan tomorrow afternoon..

So how's life for me in camp for the 2nd week? Well.. i can call it fun. or rather because of the motivation i had which kept me going on. Really Thankful for the supernatural strength as the training was rather tough and it can be really challenging in your mind when you had to go through the same tiring routines every single day. Nevertheless.. i can say i enjoy it except for the extra stuff that we were made to do for no reason. Well.. they call that extra training..

So having this 5 days.. there are those who endured.. but there are also those who go another way which we call "CHAO GEN" a little bit also have to go to the MO (Medical Officer). The amazing/amusing thing is that having a strain on the calf can earn you 10 days of light duty? I wonder how the doctor became one.. Or rather the acting skills of the trainees are too awesome. Well.. who cares.. i'm more concerned with my weekends rather than staying in for failing IPPT because of the lack of training.

But good thing is that life is getting better and i don't think i have that emo feeling which i had in the first week. And... it's good to see some old friends in HTA training together though different intake.

That's about all..

Yes! i know a lot of you are amazed that i'm able to blog simply because i got to book out! All thanks to the muslim who are having their fasting month. So this 1 month of so called Pract course will be without the 10days confinement which i think i will really die. literally. Anyway i guess all of you must be thinking.. yes police is really slack but i beg to differ! I mean yes because of my NAFA or IPPT if you like it.. i did not attain the silver or gold ranking which earn me a one month stay in the police academy chalet.

On the very first day.. 9/11/07

It was kind of emotional because i will be sort of leaving the world though i'm still in Singapore to a isolated place where all you see are botak heads and more botak heads. We were directed to a room where we had to be checked that no one has tattoo on them before allowing them to go to the next checkpoint. So then we waited and waited and finally.. we recite the oath and met up with respective family members to have our last meal before they see their "heroes" for the last time in the next 4 months... with hair again. While waiting i notice this guy.. i mean we all noticed that he was wearing slipper and shorts for the first day which literally gave a very "GOOD" impression to all the Field Instructor and Heads. I guess some of the people just don't read.

And so first day was the slackiest in the sense that we basically wrote our size for various items and had our very first bald haircut for some.. For me? I just close my eyes and walked out without even looking back at my beloved hair and the mirror for some first time botak experience.

Second day... 12/9-14/9

It was the start of our Physical training. and it was kind of hell for everyone of us because we still couldn't get used to it. So i was standing there.. will cold sweat all over thinking i might just vomit anytime.. i prayed for endurance and strength and i thank God that i was really strengthened quite instantly. Thankfully.. Actually the next few days in the camp was kind of the same. Every morning we had PT and then we had to settle logistics stuff and area cleaning which we called Fatigue over there. So there were considerable amount of rest for us to slack and talk and find out more about my roommates. Yes.. they are a bunch of nice people for the first week. I hope they do stay the same.

So it will be another round of training next week which will be the start of our REAL PT and i hope next week no IPPT and confinement! i want to meet Ah Tao and Ah Mao on friday for the last supper! God... Please make a way!!

So dudes.. i shall end here and continue next week. Pray for me guys and i shall go and "relac one corner."

THE YAO GUIS! (Courtesy of Carrot aka Carol!)

A box of donuts for my beloved friends. An idea from my poly friend.. i decided to get and ask everyone of them to post. Since donut is a hot thing at the moment and my friends all love it. I decided to make their day! and Yes.. last time for them to eat since it's the last day of the hungry ghost festival. See ya next yr.. haha!

The last day before my enlistment.. haha i went out to meet nick to hang out for a while which we had the time to queue for donuts. played arcade games and went to buy his PSP! So then i went to meet my SOT friends where we had our dinner at MakanSutra and desserts at some japanese restaurant at marina square. So since it's the last day.. i had better blog the last time.

Just wanna thank those that took time to call/sms/meet me before i go NS.. though i think it's actually only 10 days before i can book out.. thanks for the effort and i wanna thank Jiahao for preparing me by getting me a handcuff. haha! it's hilarious the first thing i opened and saw it. Shing and i laughed our heads off. (she did)

Okay.. so guys take care and don't do anything wrong. i don't wish to see anyone of you at my workplace. :)

The previous post are photos that i have taken during SOT. More or less. It was a rather emotional week for me or most of us.. needing to send our beloved international friends off to their respective country. During this period of bible school. i have a new understanding of what friendship is. Not that the current friendship i have is not good.. but it's really different. Bible school make me realises that:

-I'm a person who needs lot of sleep.
-I'm very selective person.
-I'm not that knowledgable in the Word of God afterall.
-I love Taiwan and China!
-I can't play the guitar that well.
-I don't really have huge capacity.

Well.. i realised a lot of other things. but i guess the above are something that i need to improve and grow in that area. Anyways.. more photos on departure!

Whose departure?

No.. Not my leg hair.

Yes.. It's Kao Wei Lu aka XiaoZHU! my taiwanese friend.

Good bye my friend! I will miss you!

Anyways.. There will be more coming up.. Well that will be 2 weeks later after my 10days in NS! See ya guys! :)
