Still struggling with revision.
Monday is very physically demanding..... done some interval training (200m)..... the running part is good but exhausting.... I can still feel my hamstring tight from the exercise.
Resistance Control...... got lots of things to cover.
Get some time for revision before testing the OC foam (pepper spray) in the afternoon.
I am now a firm believer of the usage of OC foam since I'm a victim to it..... a minute amount applied on my lips makes me look like Joker in Batman 5 mins later....... and the pain wont go till some 30 mins later~~
The night was no good either.... got so many to cramp in my brain...... I had a can of Red Bull but still, it cant keep me awake..... sleeping around 1 that night.
Tuesday.... the exam in the morning, some last minute revision and off I go...... The exam was okay and I found that I'm like those genius, I got 'photographic memory' too..... I can recall exactly where the question was based on.... only when writing the answer i found that my 'zooming' system was malfunctional..... when focusing on the small fonts it seems all blur to me....... in the end i only manage 71 marks while the highest was 89 and my squad average being 74.5..... I'm not too satisify with that..... but that was really the capacity of me..... hope for the next one will be a better one then~
Tactics in the afternoon...... WTF, i got shot dead again..... I'd rather live a coward than to die a hero..... must remember that.
Celebration dinner at Tin Wan for hotpot..... lots of fun and laughters...... hope this will go on and on~~

Day 70 and weekend.
Day 70, Friday..... A day when I'm worrying about the upcoming exam.
The range course in the morning was good. I love the condition inside the mini-range, however it's really shameful to have missed one target in there. I must improve with my shooting technique~
OU Lecture in the afternoon.... I cant possibly think of a lecture that's worse in my whole University life..... a record broken.
Weekend.... I was supposed to be grounded for confinement, but I'm a strong believer that nobody should be subject to arbitary detention, so I somehow smuggled off and attended Jackie's Fire Service Passing Out Parade. Congrats to him.... but at the same time i feel sad, after captivity for 14 weeks..... I still got 22 weeks before freedom (the same amount of Jackie's training..... >.<)
Saturday unplanned meet up with Horace, some light reading in Mong Kok library and then went off for a feast of Japanese food..... sometimes, a friend and a good conversation is what you needed most to combat depression~
Sunday, waking up to find it's 3 in the afternoon..... it's been a while since i lived such life, but I'm loving it...... head back to my prison early for some more revision....... the more i read, the more i forgot..... I'd better sleep soon and wake early for study again......
Sigh..... nervous for Tue's exam.

Study Progress.

Devised a new Physical training programme for myself. Tonight: Push up 15 X2, Situp 20X2, Lateral Abs 10, Chin up, 2X2, Diamond pushup 7..... Must keep up the effort.

Day 69.
Another ultra-hei day.... Am I really training in one of the hardest programme??? I wonder sometimes.
Got the first report back.... generally it's okay..... but need to work on the discipline and really to perform well in test 3.....
Sigh.... better go back to studying.

Day 68
Another 'hei' day......
No footdrill in the morning, only one lecture.....
Afternoon the Open University Lecture..... really boring stuff.....
Only the extra drill after school has some semblence of training days.
PS. Is having a very bad allergic rhinitis now..... want to do nothing but sleep now.

Day 65..... 66.
Sigh..... My life was not so great lately.
Let me recap what I've done last week.
The friday was easy, just a visit to TST station and then the whole afternoon is spent on sleeping (without realizing how thick my notes have piled up)...... the evening spent on Mess Night..... it's good to have some social function once in a while.
Weekend was being confined...... spent 2 days locked up in hostel...... damn..... I still forgot to hand in my weekly journal to my boss despite the large amount of time i spent here..... shame.
(I really ought to blog more.... they keep my mind active)
Day 66. Monday. Feeling very weak and exhausted.....
The temperature is bad, lessons are demanding..... just nothing seems too right......
Time to study, but I'm already tired..... shall i sleep now and wake early?

Day 64
Okay... day 64 now over.
PSUC exercise in the morning...... what i 'expected' finally come true, I'm the commander for a robbery case..... it might be so much better if I'm not that sick on field..... nevermind.
Visit to Vice team at Mong kok at night..... pretty impressive..... I'll just have to wait for a year or 2 and I'll live similiar life too~

No fun.
Day 60, 61 and 62 are no fun.
Day 60.... the morning drill has become a drill in the rain.... not just shower, but a full bath..... soaking wet..... how possibly can we be not sick?
Day 60 afternoon..... symptoms of flu start coming in......
Worse still.... the night was spent on first aid exam..... hundreds of ppl cramping in one lecture hall for examination..... increased the risk of cross-infection greatly (and also sharing of Ann, the dummy)
That night got home i was still okay.... but high fever since saturday morning..... at worst time it's reached 39.1 degree celcius........ did nothing but bed-bound.
I've decided I need a further bed rest that I slept through Monday and Tuesday too.... (turns out it's not that worthy..... as Tuesday is a typhoon no 8 day)...... got some major bollocking by senior management...... damn.....
Only getting back today for class..... pretty normal day.
PS. Thanks for the care. I'm really touched. (A blessing in disguise?)

Day 59
Another 'nothing much' day.
Revolver course in the morning, doing snap shot is much easier than grouping or scoring practice as it's much more natural. Hit all my bullets in the designated zone..... but frankly, If I cant do it in 10m, it'd be a great shame. Looking forward to the next course.
Some self study time and a lecture in the afternoon......
Get the chance to meet with Jeff and Alvin tonight..... great time.....
Falling a bit sick..... too many colleagues around me are sick......

Day 58
Slept for really long last night....
But still.... every day waking up with the same tired feeling.
I kept thinking about the following, hopefully they'll make me more positive.
If I'm so sick of my life being a dentist, I really should treasure the opportunity to learn here in Police College.
Not everybody can get second chance.
Life is tough here.... but still.... that's the path i've chosen.
So no complaints.
Today is another routine day..... the 4 hours lecture at the end of the day is killing me..... Really module 3 is very very different than before.... all the procedures and guidelines..... they have no logic at all....... but I'll have to learn them by rote.... what am i supposed to do?
Tomorrow will have the chance for snap-shot shooting..... should be interesting.....
Looking forward to meeting with Alvin and Jeff tomorrow..... gosh..... I need some positive energy.

Day 57
"Pros need not be Pals" - Arsene Wenger.
I can understand Wenger's frustration this time.
When you put so many egos together they'll clash eventually. But just take it easy, we're not here to be pals.
Work is piling up and is constantly feeling sleepy.

Day 56
It's an ultra hot day today.
Morning drill for 2 hours, followed by equally physical-demanding Resistance Control lesson..... by the time in lunchtime I was left with little conciousness...... pretty much the same brain power with a zombie.....
Afternoon lesson is pretty wasted......
Worst still.... another hour of footdrill during evening..... I can see no point in drilling and drilling and drilling.....
I dunno, I cant think now.... probably I need to sleep now.

Weekend.
This weekend is quite fruitful.
Friday night was the Floor O of 14/F. Got the chance to head back and spent a night there. the usual scene in pantry, with ppl blathering and PS2 was on all the time..... i miss those days.... it's so carefree~
Had a chat with old Mon that night..... have i really changed over this 11 weeks? Is it to the good or bad side? I dunno, I can only ascertain that I can feel the change a bit.... and the change is going on and on...... Tell me what you think.
Barely wake in time for the last first aid lesson.... life should be easier with my saturday morning back......
Saturday afternoon, sister's wedding. So glad to see her in such beautiful wedding dress..... Congratulations to you, newly wed Mrs. Ng ^^ I cant help but start thinking for myself..... when will my wedding be held?
Sunday is left for sleep.... serious sleeping indeed.... I'm still sleepy even after so many hours of sleep.... must catch some more sleep now..... next time.

Day 55
Time has gone quite fast, it's been the 11th week without me realizing.
Feeling a bit of boredom at times as most days are a repetition.....
The day was spent on exercise. Had spent the night rehearsing for many times.....
Turns out it's an exercise of mixed results..... with highs and lows.... a bit like the game between AC Milan and Liverpool in Istanbul, 2005. Only this time I'm not on Liverpool side, but Milan's.
The briefing before the operation went really well, praises were received from my colleagues, and even the picky exercise team. But the execution part is a mess and disaster.... I think me and my colleague really need to work on that aspect.....
Well.... it's just a game afterall, I still got time to improve~

Day 54
Lack of sleep week.
I'm staying up this time of the night. Only for tomorrow's operation..... gosh.
Today it's relatively easy day..... people are doing fine in the pre-planned exercise.
Look forward to tomorrow's showtime.
Been rehearsing the script the whole night..... must sleep now.

Day 53
Autumn has come.
How can I tell? Simply by my sweat glands.
When in the parade ground today I'm no longer 'soaked' (if not drowned) in my own sweat..... hope this kind of weather can last long.
Received invitation from J' that his passing out from Fire department is on 26th Sept, a bit close to my exam, but still, nothing is more important than passing out from a disciplinary force, I'll be there for sure~
A very long lecture on handling of detained person, from morning all the way till afternoon..... so sleepy, but considering it's the bread and butter skills for later, have no choice but to stay awake.
Another exhausting PT session, gone swimming for how many hours? I lost count..... only knew that my muscles are all sore.....
Have to work on my presentation for friday..... write later then.
PS. Belated Happy Birthday... or why should I care?
Odi et amo. Quare id faciam, fortasse requiris.
Nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior.

Day 52. Post exam.
It's seldom of me to sleep so late in Police College, but today it's really an exceptional case.
The night before was sleeping quite rough cause my mind kept focusing on the test 2 this morning, waking up at 6 and do some final reading of my notes.
The whole morning was spent writing papers..... it was alright, but still, i was wrong about some questions.
In the afternoon it's range lesson. This time I've fired 30 bullets in a row.... feeling my hands and shoulders still sore from yesterday's PT test..... the result was not too good. 10m, 30 marks, 24 marks, 15m, 21 marks, 20m, 14 marks..... really shameful, especially that 20m hand..... must improve next time.
Test result released in the evening, all passed. Average score for our squad 74. I manage 81.5, while the highest is 88.5..... i guess i rank third or fourth in the whole intake..... not too bad, but there's still room for improvement.
The night was spent idly (relatively)...... stay up the whole night for the 'map making'..... for the presentation for Friday's operation...... so sleepy now, but glad i've finally managed to finish the map, tomorrow gotta finish the operation order and then rehearse it on thursday..... Great day on Friday then.
Sleep now. Later.
