Quick update...6th Jul to 10th Jul:
My first week of vacation attachment programme. I was attached to TRACOM for introductory lessons on Penal Code, CPC, Seizable and non-seizable offences, etc. For that whole week ,we had training on Police Defensive Tactics(PDT). I must admit that I really need more training on this.
11th Jul:
I met up with my secondary friends. It was my first time seeing Ding Zhou and Ying Seng since Sec 4. It was really nice to meet up with them, especially Siti, Yvonne, Shi Hui and Eugenia. Eugenia was "really bad" to hide things from me. Fortunately, Siti kept me updated. When will it be Siti's turn?? haha..Anyway, we went bowling and ice-skating. I am really lousy at bowling and after 2 hours of what is supposed to be ice-skating, I only managed to do "ice-walking". Many thanks to Ding Zhou and Ee Boon for patiently guiding me along. I do not mind ice-skating in future, except that it is quite expensive. I guess that I will have to work harder so that money will start roling in. Before I forget, I must say thank both Eugenia and Ee Boon for being our chauffeur for the day.
12th Jul:
I met up with YF and Siti for lunch and window shopping. However in the end,we only had dessert at New York Restaurant. It was such a coincidence that I met Ai Ting at there. Guess what?? Ai Ting has cut her hair to a shoulder-length level. It was not too bad, but as usual, she is still so sexy..haha..
13th Jul:
I had PDT assessment on that day. The tester was kind enough to pass all of us, but ultimately, we will have to repeat everything when we begin our C-course.
14th Jul:
I was attached to 'G' Division. We had an insight on what a Division is like. 'G' Division is one of the most busy divisions around with an average of 600 cases a day.
15th Jul:
I was attached to CCU and CMU. For both units, we went for raids, however not major ones.
16th Jul:
I was at MP NPC. The NPC is like a five stars condo.
17th Jul:
I was at BS NPC. We were there for a 12 hour overnight shift. There were hardly any major cases, which means that the place is secure. More often than not, there were more cases that were not in line with the core duties of SPF. Nonetheless, we have since become more service-oriented. I am probably still not used to staying up throughout the night, resulting in me taking an hour plus of nap. I must say that it is indeed an eye-opener for me to see what are the policemen doing while most people are sleeping. To be honest, I am still looking forward to the 24hr shift, despite me being certain that I will be dead beat even before 24hrs is up.
18th Jul:
I reached home only at 9+am, after leaving the house at 4+pm the day before. I was surprisingly not tired until the afternoon. I had my dinner at 'Dian Xiao Er'. I have finally tasted the food at there, and I must mention that it is quite good.

Today, I went to watch Ice Age 3 in 3D format. To be exact, it should be last night since it is already around 1am. It was not too bad with lots of funny and hilarious scenes, resulting in constant bursts of laughter. If you have not watched it, I would recommend it only if you like such movies =D

02/07/2009 Outing @ Queensway Shopping Centre & IkeaToday I went out with S11 girls and Hui Bing. We met at Queensway Shopping Centre as Wei Ru wanted to get a jacket that she can bring back to Australia. In the end, of the two jackets that she has shortlisted, she chose the blue one. Of course Shu Xian was very happy because her favourite colour is blue. I was quite embarrassed when I mentioned that the black jacket seems like it is able to collect dust easily, in front of one of the shop workers loudly. Even as Wei Ru is done with her purchased, Zi Xin still have not arrived, not until we were at Ikea. This prompted us to get Zi Xin to reimburse us for the money spent during our tea-break. Jokingly of course =D
The pancakes at the Ikea are very expensive, and I feel that the pancakes were actually folded crepes. I somewhat prefer the crepes that I have tasted in Paris. After our tea-break, we tried to take a group photo. This was a rather hilarious attempt as things started falling and people were staring at Hui Bing, who was trying to position the camera. We were so paiseh!! It was then we decided to give up and get the group of students to help us take group photos.
After eating and chit-chatting on a sofa, we attempted to stalk Zi Xin. This was because she was tight-lipped about her bf. Nonetheless, we failed. Mmm..I think we should try harder to "squeeze" some info out of her the next time round. =D
01/07/2009 Lunch @ Mos Burger
Wednesday, July 1, 2009 @ 8:45 AM Author: clarinda
Today, I was "enlightened" by a primary school kid. He wrote, 'The star live in the sky'. Oh my goodness! Never did I know that stars are living things. However, these kids are seriously very cute, giving all kinds of weird sentences. For example, 'I always tear the paper', 'I bring my father to buy car', 'The car's wheel has no air', etc. Sometimes, I cannot help but be amused by the way they put their ideas across. At times, I am really clueless as to what do they actually want to write as the sentences contructed by them are senseless. Nonetheless, I do understand that they are academically weaker, hence, I have to be patient when dealing with them. The only problem is that these kids are usually hyperactive, they are unable to sit still for even a few minutes. Apart from teaching them, I have to mark their work as well. I realise that it is easier to put a tick than a cross on their work. How I hope that I can put more ticks rather than crosses.After that, I had lunch at MOS burger. I got my sis to spend me, but the main thing is, of the two slices of fish that was in the rice burger, one went into her stomach!!! Not worth getting her to spend me lor..I shall get her to spend me the next time round again.
I shall upload the photos either later on or tomorrow =)
