My 1st day @ QRP...

Ooh, another day had gone. It was my 1st day @ QRP (Queenstown Remand Prison) & I was very glad that I had not made the wrong choice in putting QRP on top of my list. Whatever I had seen so far, the staffz over there are pretty helpful & they are willing to teach. Most importantly, there is a chin up bar near to the staffs' changing room, which means I can continue to maintain my strength. Was brought around for orientation by Sgt Sharil in the morning & though I went through 1 round in QRP, I think I will still have difficulty in navigating my way to the different housing units as the walkways are macam like mazes. But as a man of great adaptibility & a man wif great sense of direction, this should not pose a major problem to me. =P In the afternoon, I was asked to attend the Housing Unit Management Meeting so that for me, I roughly know what's going on in QRP as the possibility of me being a PS (Personal Supervisor) as a new entrant officer is close to 100%.

Oh yah, was quite surprised to see Ganesh appearing in QRP when I reported for work this morning. He told me that he received a call on Tuesday, informing him that he will be posted to QRP instead of KBC. So well, I ain't alone by myself.

Kev is feeling happy after his 1st day @ QRP, but he is still in the state of emotional turmoil... Date of recovery = unknown...

Marching into the real battlefield...

Can't imagine that I will be starting my 1st day as a full fledged prison officer tomorrow morning when I report for work @ QRP. Actually there are both excitement & intimidation going on right now inside my heart. On 1 hand, I am looking forward to the day which I can be known as a staff rather than an attachment staff but on the other hand, I will be shouldering a much heavier responsibility as a full fledged officer compared to a 'responsibility-less' trainee back in HTA... Haiz, but nevertheless, I am gonna jia you & I am gonna confidence myself when I stepped into the real 'battlefield' tomorrow morning.

Had a great time singing wif the guyz yesterday @ Partyworld. Thankz Mei Yi for organising the outing & thankz Sean for once again, organising the dinner @ your dad's cooking stall. I wondered when would be the next time that we people can meet up again as all of us are going to different institutions...

I still can't forget Monday... I missed having dinner wif AQ @ Park Mall's Fish & Co. I missed taking the train together wif her. I missed doing a little bit of shopping wif her. I missed interacting wif her. I missed pressing her Stitch's keychain. I missed her smile. I missed her voice. And I missed walking down the stretch of road along Lorong Ong Lye when I was sending her back home... When can I get to see you again?

Kev is in a state of emotional turmoil @ this point of time...

A new chapter of my life...

With this command, we ended our passing out parade in the basketball court of HTA. There were joy but @ the same time, there were tears. Perhapz the tears ain't visible, but for me, the tears are deep down inside my heart. As much as I am looking forward to our passing out parade, but still, 17 weeks had stirred up plenty of emotions inside me. No doubt @ times I dreaded the life of a trainee because of the restrictions we had, but no matter what, the process is still enjoyable and stress-free. I am gonna miss TEAM DELTA, I am gonna miss bunk 01-30, I am gona miss Cohort 02/2005! These 17 weeks really flew like an arrow whizzing thru the air...

I had no regret about returning back to HTA early yesterday despite the fact that I was still having a fever. It really warms my heart to see the effort that the committee had put in for the celebration dinner had turned out to be a pretty successful one. It really makes me proud to be part of the committee & @ the same time, I feel proud that I have Lau as my partner to plan all those programs for the evening. Most importantly, it makes me feel proud to be part of Cohort 02/2005 when I can see everyone enjoying themselves throughout the evening! The scene of the whole cohort sitting in the function room, having fun with each other, will forever etch in my memory...

Just to update you people that I am posted to Queenstown Remand Prison as my 1st institution. I was pretty happy because QRP was my 1st choice when I chosed the choice somewhere in May.

Anyway, time for me to get a rest, still having a fever and I do not wish to waste my block leave to recuperate. Looking forward to my life in QRP but @ the same time, reminscing the times I had with all my buddies back in cohort 02/2005!

3 cheers for cohort 02/2005, hip hip, hurray!!!

2 more days to POP, but right now, feeling sick...

Guessed some of you might be surprised to see an entry during a weekday since I am still undergoing my BOC. Well, I am on MC for 1 day and Chief Chan don't allows me to stay back in HTA, so I have got no choice but to come back home. Probably due to the fact that I was under the rain for most of the time yesterday during our trip to Sentosa for the endurance run. Wasn't feeling too good before the fun and I never really get a good rest after the academic examz, so fever, headache and vomitting 'attack' me. But well, looking on the bright side, I can clear some of the items from my locker so that I need not bring so much stuffz back home after our Passing Out Parade on this coming Friday...

A recap of what happened last week since I didn't write anything;

15/06/2006 Thursday:
Officially finished our final paper on today which is on Inmate Management & Rehabiliation. Was so feeling so happy until Chief Desmond said that Exercise Whallaby will be held tomorrow. Haiz, juz hoped that everything goes smoothly for Exercise Whallaby.

16/06/2006 Friday:
What a day to start wif heavy rain! But well, I am chosen as inmate, so I guessed it would be pretty fun even though there are only 5 of us acting as inmates. Water bombs filled wif detergent and flour were our main source of weapons and think it was pretty terrible to throw these water bombs on your cohort mates. However since instructions were passed to us that we were to 'attack' the troopers, we have to obey orders. By the time it reaches afternoon, it was a reversal of roles when I were being called back to be part of the trooper team. What goes around comes around and it's time for me to have a taste of what it is like to have water bombs being thrown @ you. Haha, but on the whole, the whole exercise was completed successfully and all of us heaved a sigh of relieve as it would be the last exercise b4 we passed out from PSTS.

Went to meet Elna, Hui2, Fen-er, Khia & Min Zhi for a gathering @ Causeway point. Had Seoul Garden's buffet for dinner & it was quite an enjoyable dinner wif the gals since I had not seen them for a very long time. Pretty glad to hear that all of them are doing fine. I wondered when will be the next time that I can get to see them again.

17/06/2006:
Went over to Raven's place for house-warming & his house was pretty well decorated though Old Man commented that the colours kinda blinded him, haha. Sat down there and had some discussion wif Lau pertaining to our End of BOC dinner. Stayed there for quite sometime b4 I made a move to have my hair cut for this coming Friday's parade. Stupid barber, he actually did a flat top on me which I hated the shape man. Gonna live wif this hair-style for the next 2 weeks, sianz...

允许你快乐

允许你快乐
允许你自由
允许你被他背弃后来找我
半夜三点多
淋着雨你又站到我家门口
哭到我的心都痛

一个拥抱就暖和同心的颤抖
我同样都有情关难过
已经不能管别人接不接受

允许你要的快乐
快乐何需要的那么多
只要微弱烛火
让你找到我在黑暗中
不会流落在街头对我就已经足够

允许你这样快乐
遍体鳞伤也勇敢负荷
就是这种感受
不知为什么心碎时刻
都是我陪你度过爱了就不许回头

牵着你的手徒然的快乐
