Day 6

First time to carry a gun on real duty.

Morning part was okay, just a tour around the area with my sergeants...

2nd part was more chaotic..... dead fish.... 40 yrs male found dead in his own flat... slight doubt on that case as the door was kept unlocked.... but further enquiry reveals nothing.... i dont know.... wait for forensic pathologist's report....

3rd part was even worse.... a trip with DVC going everywhere.... I think I'm one of the few inspectors who will direct traffic myself.... totally forgetten about dinner....

Thanks to my Ssgt for finishing the file work for me.... I own him a lot for this.

Day 5, a busy day.

I dont want to bore you with all the minor details of my work.... but just that I love my job.... a lot.

Doing nothing much for most of my 'official' programme.... stayed over and working OT and learning a lot more....

Handled my first case ever, a water pipe burst... pretty headless-chicken at first but luckily it can be managed at last...

Cases can be all around you, anytime.... saved a girl who got her left toe trapped in escalator in Causeway Bay station when I'm heading home.... feels really good.

Nothing can beat the feeling of being able to help others.

Day 3 and 4.

Day 3, a day attached to Vice team, get to know of the vice situation in my district.... the anti-vice operation was an unexpected success.... one call, ended up arresting one BOC and one II.... interesting.

Thursday, first day in division, already cramped with work.... but I'm loving it....

Wrote my first morning sit-rep..... many more to come.

Day 2

It's been, still busy yesterday, getting to know more about district intelligence and triad situation.

I was so overwhelmed by such information that i slept the first thing i got back, and sleeping for almost 12 hours...

Waking up early today, feeling the urge for a workout, it's been so long since i exercised. Feeling good.

Hope the operation today will be a success. I want to get home on time and nurse my problematic upper respiratory tract...

Day one, again.

First day of 'new' work.

Woke up early.....

Travel to Sai Wan....

Meet with senior and more seniors....

Asking stupid questions (and being asked the same)....

Lots of expectations..... lots to learn....

So very tired when I finally got off work around 1900....

Hope tomorrow will be a better day.

Passing Out Parade.

Luckily, the weather on Saturday was not bad. Not too sunny, not too hot.

I'm so glad my parents, aunt and grandma, Kennon, Ewing, Kale, Sam, James, Julian were able to witness my passing out....

Frankly, I dont care about all others, but I'm just enjoying that day.

Thanks Horace, Dorminique, Kin and Kathy for coming in and took photos with me, special thanks to my 'moving company' Horace and Dorm, without you, I will not be able to move all my things back home.

Went to church on Sunday.... it's good to do so once in a while (provided I'm free)

Weekend was spent on tidying my things at home.... and waiting anxiously for my first day to work.

Day 226, 227, 228, 229 and 229.5

Final week of training....

It's been a physically demanding last week.... Every morning is drill in hot and wet weather... But only good thing was.... everyone is focused in that job.....

The schedule has been so crowded in the last week... course critique, SSP and SP final address, rehearsal for POP mess reception etc took up the day.

Not to forgot I need to spend time on packing up.....

Just one word.... busy.

But still.... I'm glad it's finally over.

Weekend.

Because of the aftermath of Mess night, I only sleep around 6 in the morning, totally wasted..... waking up around noon unsure of what I'm doing.... just feeling jelly-legged and a cloud in my head.... trying to pack up but my progress was real slow.... ended up helping Mi to get her things all the way to Yuen Long... it's such a long ride.... Had a movie "Robin Hood" there..... not as good as I expected.... it seems... a bit fragmented in its storyline....

It's such a long ride back home and I feel dizzy after such long hours of travelling and tireness.

Sunday.... finally a day I can claim it my own.... waking up around noon.... falling asleep again in the afternoon..... went out for dinner with Sam, who shared his experience as PSUC... great to have him as my mate.

Mi lost her phone on Sam's car.... when can one ever learn?

Day 222, 223, 224 and 225

It's another long week already....

Everynight it's lack of sleep, feeling tired and sick, continue training, feeling even worse and sleep little.... such vicious cycle.

Tuesday, Chinese Language course.... usual hatred towards Chinese teacher. This time I did not bother the slightest to sleep in class because 1. I found the course useless, and 2. I'm really tired.... it's not any waste doing so.

Went out for dinner in Causewaybay... I'm so sick and tired, you're so pissed and unhappy.... I can not think of any way to communicate... blame it on me if you must, but I still think you need to re-evaluate on how you do things.

Wednesday, A training on leadership.... it's a good lecture and presentation however I'm just too tired to grasp all of them.... nonetheless, I've learnt a lot from it.

Thursday, finally.... my body failed on me.... woke up with a temperature and sore throat.... struggled a bit and decided to head for the clinic.... can rest for two more hors in the morning.... CI interview in the afternoon... the final report is not too bad, I must say it's quite fair evaluation on me.... no matter what, it's a conclusion of my first 11 months of work.

Preparing for Mess night.... very busy.

Friday. Beat Incident Exercise..... what must I say? Very confused, unsure of procedures... feeling very puzzled as Duty Officer.... hope it's not going to be the same when I go outside.

Night.... Mess night. Finally my dining out.... I never enjoyed Mess night too much, but this is a time when I can enjoy myself (and lift my alcohol ban for once)... Without the 'you must behave' tag on me and my colleagues we certainly had the most enjoyable mess night ever, from the dinner, the speech by CI's and the mess game and crazy drinking that follows... my past CI Walton gave me some encouraging words... feeling good about it..... we had such crazy fun that night and it's hardly ever reproducable anytime soon... such are great memories.....

Rubberband - 發現號



撞進了冰山 捲上了急灣
一秒從未想折返
就望到了 就能望到了
終會踏足這峽灣
劃破了風衣 丟了救生衣
未曾想過會倖免
若生於某個 總擠不進我地點
註定遠征一遍

這發熱汗腺 也都乾透了
雙腿卻繼續狂放 在衝出那人浪
幾次被埋葬 窄巷中復活過幾趟
留一口氣講

再失敗 至懂看透
那不甘 去為我來營救
向著太陽狂走

撞進了冰山 捲上了急灣
一秒從未想折返
就望到了 就能望到了
終會踏足這峽灣
劃破了風衣 丟了救生衣
未曾想過會倖免
逆光中進發 不甘安置到盲點
上路去再實踐

板塊移動了 亂世中絕地裡反抗
誰躲於暗光

直到失敗 至懂看透
讓那不甘 去為我來營救
向著太陽狂走

撞進了冰山 捲上了急灣
一秒從未想折返
就望到了 就能望到了
終會踏足這峽灣
劃破了風衣 丟了救生衣
成全這最美歷險
逆光中進發 不甘安置到盲點
上路去再實踐

撞碎了冰山 衝過了急灣
登上完夢的峽灣
望到了 望到了
白雲搭上一片藍
記載了凶險 傷勢也不淺
腳踏這裡這一天
歷史中結算 一心走出錯地點
幹下遠征一遍

Day 221.

FICS training again.... another hea schedule.

Had a really short lunch with Sister today.... it's good to finally meet up with her.

I got news I am going to serve in Western District of Hong Kong Island in my first post. I have yet to know whether I'll work in Western Division or Aberdeen Division yet, but I believe both are good choice, I can have no complaint about it.

Other tedious task related to the upcoming mess night.... a bit of blogging and I'm sleeping late again.... when can these kind of exhausting task end??

Next time then, really gotta sleep.

Weekend.

From the lack of sleep the night before. I spent the whole morning of Saturday sleeping.... I woke with a sore throat... I knew I was going to get sick but still I decided to take the grad photos with colleagues.... the photos were great.... it's worth staying till late at night.

Originally wanted to get back home. But a dinner with Mi and her squad changed the plan.... I was so tired that night I slept all the way from 2200 till late on Sunday morning.... The whole Sunday was nothing more than sleep sleep sleep....

Day 216, 217, 218, 219, 220

It's another long week since I blogged, not that I was lazy nor I lacked the intention to write here, I'm simply too busy to even log on to my account to check email, leave alone to do anything else.

You may ask what's keeping me.... I dunno.... just numerous and numberous tedious tasks all added up together.... make my life a complete mess lately.

Monday, went out of campus for FICS training (computer course)in police headquarters.... the course was light (and maybe too light in content)... maybe I was just too tired.... so midway through the training I cant help but fall asleep for a while.....

Evening... Worked as the DO in police college.... visited the junior intake of inspectors.... reminds me of the days I first came here.... The DO duty sapped all my energy, a short telephone chat so when I fall asleep it's already past mid-night....

Tuesday, morning started with SSP inspection parade in such a hot weather.... no wonder Mi felt dizzy in the parade.... I felt my lips were dry and was with a bad headache afterwards too.

Award Presentation.... I can only say.... it's none of my business.... I enjoyed more with the taking of group photos.

Guest Lecture in the afternoon.... once again.... sleepy as hell.

Evening spent outside campus with the guys from the intake for a football match.... it's so much fun. But fun was short lasted... need to work on P squad inspection report on the same night.

Same night... phone chat till late again... lack of sleep as a result.

Wednesday.... first morning assembly I attended.... 'useless' is the word to describe it. Followed by Tactical exercise Day... we look great in that protective suit.... seems like a direct copy from game 'rainbow six' etc... took some great photos there.... but the exercise itself was not too good... well.... nevermind.

Spent an hour at night with my P squad members... talking with them my feelings and postings etc... it's actually quite a pleasant experience.

Thursday... Morning spent jogging along Bowen Road.... it's been a while since PT so I felt a bit tired afterwards (or maybe it's due to the lack of sleep).... the remaining of day was harsh.... footdrill, more footdrill and boring lecture....

Cant recall what I've done on thursday night.... it's not good nonetheless.... as I felt sleepy on Friday.

Friday.... Are you kidding me, Chinese course???? Taught by the kind of teacher that I hate, high pitched noise, constant nusiance.... it's a torture.

What's worse, I got to have overnight DO duty again this week.... so sleepy at night.... and wasted my whole sleeping time... sigh.

Weekend

Saturday, Thank you honey for arranging such a lovely brunch at the restaurant. It's a big surprise and I love it. Wow wow seems to enjoy the trip outside too~

Hang around in Central and TST before meeting my University buddy at night, Jo, Garfield, Horace, Dom, CF, Janice, Ken, Michael, Yvonne.... too bad Angela didnt join us or else it'd be a full reunion... I had so much food and drink that night I felt I'm bloating up immediately.

Sunday, a quiet day at home.... before I head back to college and handle with all the chores here....

I'm pissed not because of the fact that you've lost your item, but your attitude when handling the case... If you really dont care, dont even mention about it to scare people around you; but if you do care, please at least show you're concerned instead of doing nothing, it's taking you nowhere by this approach.

I really should blog when I'm pissed.

Day 214 and 215

Thursday, Morning Parade, very hot.

PT, last PPAT exam. I finished the course in 1'53", it's quite a good result but I'm still not satisfied with it, as it is only on par with my previous attempts... I'm expecting improvements in this area... shame.

Thursday night, went out and buy my colleagues a buffet dinner, as I owed them from my SSP re-examination. It's a lovely night (though the food was bad).

Friday, POE briefing.... got teased by the instructors because of my relationship status... apart from that, nothing too memorable.

Went out at night to meet with Jeff, Ka Ki, Lo Kai, Bear, Alvin and Sam.... thanks Sam for sharing so much of his experience with me... it's been so long since I can feel care-free and enjoy the night.... thanks to you all.
