Restraint
Wednesday, January 24th, 2007For the past few days things are still normal as everything is going on smoothly. But don’t know why recently its starting to get more stress and pressure working. On top of the normal SOPs that’s need to be done, there will be more SOPs implemented and more stuffs that need to take care of.
To the extend some has tendered their resignation letter due to the workload or further studies. How I wish I can be like them but alas… But anyway more and more people are already starting to keep a lookout for the market outside.
Today had a long day at work, in which after work still need to stay back for the monthly briefing followed by a restraint control training which lasted till around 1915hrs. But overall the training still not bad as I managed to learn a few tactics on overcoming a person whom resist to control.
But for that think I had to pay a price for it because I was the unlucky one whom was pick to be the demonstrator for the instructor. Gross to think that of all people had to choose me.. argh..
But luckily for me during my NS days got learnt a few tricks hence sort of know how to go along with the movements without getting injured. But still able to feel the soreness on the shoulder and on the side of the leg.
Think I’ve type too much hence shall stop at here for the moment before I break my promise again.
“It took me twenty years of studied self-restraint, aided by the natural decay of my faculties, to make myself dull enough to be accepted as a serious person by the British public.”
Strength
Sunday, January 14th, 2007Finally the day has come in which another achievement has been mark. The day when I pass out from the 7 sessions of the first ever in the history Honorary Officers Modular Course (HOMC). A day in which I’ll be appointed as a officer in which more responsibilities and work scope is awaiting for me to deal with.
Thought its only just a short 7 sessions, but it was being spread over 2 months in which it was conducted during the weekends due to the reason that all of us are all working personnel. Hence it can only be conducted during Saturdays and certain days are off due to the festive seasons.
At the last day it was held at the Senior Police Officers’ Mess (SPOM) instead of the usual Home Team Academy (HTA) to mark the end of the course. For the first half of the session, we had a very interesting lecture by Mrs Helen Tan on counselling skills followed by the graduation ceremony.
Although its a simple ceremony but it looks very dignified. After the ceremony, flash lights could be seen flashing here and there due to the photos taking with one another. Meanwhile do I ask for your patience to wait for the photos to be upload for you bloggers to view. But nonetheless, shall still upload some of the photos taken using my N6280.. keke
This last picture shows the advancement of my status in NPCC in the past few years.
Following next is the birthday card that I received in which I feel its really very nice. Thanks alot to both my ‘granddaughter’ and ’sister’ for taking the effort in designing the card, printing it out and passing it to me on the same day.

Patience

"The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. To dig for treasures shows not only impatience and greed, but lack of faith. Patience, patience, patience, is what the sea teaches. Patience and faith. One should lie empty, open, choice less as a beach - waiting for a gift from the sea."

"If you have only two pennies left in the world, with the first penny, you should buy rice to feed your family. With the second penny, say the wise Japanese, you should buy a lily. The Japanese understand the importance of dreaming…"
