First up is POC, my Passing Out Ceremony, which has been LONG overdue. It was one of the proudest moments in my life for me to finally graduate. Strangely i think i was the only one in my whole squad who felt emotional about it, i duno...maybe being in the police force has been a very trying lesson for me, and i learnt a whole lot of things about myself, how to be a person, an adult, a partner, a son, and everything else in between. True there may be trying times ahead, but i've overcome i think my hardest obstacle yet. Its not easy to go thru this regimental life ever since the day i signed my bond, and my training/suffering was WAAAAY longer than any NS man or Regular had to go thru, so i deserve to brag about my SERGEANT RANK.
Yeah, guess i did start to brag about it way beforehand, but I cant seem to help it. I was just consoling myself over how miserable i was to be stuck in the academy, with no social life whatsoever. Sorry if i did guys, its just a way in which i could feel better, you know. But, just for the fun of it, I'm gonna continue. HEH. So expect a Sgt laughing in your face, muahahaha!
I was posted to the Central Police Division, as NPCO(patrol). And i was actually brought in to replace two dudes that left for a better paying steward job over in SIA, and the late CPL Halim. Many would remember him as the officer that had an accident with a van on his way to work whilst riding a scrambler over in Outram Rd. So when i told them yeah, i'm taking bike pracs and yeah im gonna buy a scrambler, many were at a lost for words. I didn't question either, i was lost myself.
But life here takes some getting used to in comparison to Golf. I could no longer take NS-men partners like Syed Hafiz, Zulhilmi and even TSgt Asheem. And the calls keep on coming, its so busy that when we take our short breaktimes, we just HAD to rest and lie back, just to breathe. And when we do get something to eat, we get a call and have to go off to attend to another citizen. All these people don't see, they expect the same kind of service from the men in blue, and there has been some complaints coming in. They don't know that the term, "the city never sleeps" actually applies to us as well. Well the cases here are said to be rather VIOLENT, so its time to summon the MAT SPIRIT inside me. If that fails, well there's always a TASER, which i should be going for real soon. Now THAT, is something to look forward to. And yes, it is true that 2x busy=2x the experience. I will get to see in days what people in other divisions barely see in years.
In other news, Kamilliya just got attached! =) People around ask me, why am I not upset. Truth is, I really am not. I try hard not to! It has always been my nature to be happy for the people that I care about, and if I know that the people around me will be happier in any way then I have tried to make them, then all the better right? That's the game isn't it, if it doesn't work out its just too bad. I don't blame her for not giving me answers and all, maybe in a sense i was being very difficult and pushy on the subject, but i can understand why she did what she did. So, yeah. Here's wishing her all the best, and just hope she remembers to smile.
Now a full-fledged sgt, motorbike prac 7/8, i'm single and capable, the road ahead seems smooth and bright. Adulthood smells good, and truly, the city, is my home. Yes bebeh, you're goddamn right.
