Day 26, 27 and 28.

Non-policing work is getting more and more share of my work hours lately.

What's the point of giving me files on southern district development just so you can have this useless.... non-police related project complete? It's a totally waste of resources.

Once again... attempt suicide... how come everytime i meet with the inspector of FSD there will be a whole lot of trouble? It's funny.

Finally... almost holiday.... must get to revision soon.

Day 22, 23, 24, 25.

It's been too long since i write.

Got a lot want to say.

These 4 days are pretty memorable.... it's so eventful that I can hardly remember all.... but it's good.... at least, when paper work is not intensive, this job can be really joyful.... shame it's not the case for most of the time.

I consider myself an unlucky person. For the last few days, I have got 4 'person collapse' case.... on their arrival to QMH.... the 'certify' rate is 100%.... my bad? I dont know. Even the staff in QMH suggest I take a holiday soon... well... on the positive side, the deceased I'm dealing with has an average age of 90ish... nothing too regretful for them as they've lived their best part of life... just hope they can be in peace.

Facing death more often, the less fearful it gets... I'm only there to help, to see if something bad had happened to them, just it.... I feel comfortable about it now.

It's pretty action-filled week... acting like an Emergency Unit in response to a level one alarm, face to face confrontation with triad members, the thrill of riding in a siren-howling police vehicle..... all these are good memories.

The reason why I'm still awake this time of the night... I'm too excited from solving a case of attempt suicide... it starts at 2200, all the way till 0330.... during that time, negotiator, fire service, ambulance were all standing by... you wont believe how labour intensive it is for saving a life..... so when the subject person finally being lured out of her apartment and was tackled... my body is oozing with joy.... finally...

Must sleep now.... still got plenty of paper work to do tmr..... leave alone the study.

Post Steal.

如果你到了20歲,還沒到25歲 BY 李開復(前微軟副總裁、Google中國區總裁)

如果你已經過了20歲但還不到25歲的話,你必須找到除了愛情之外,能夠使你用雙腳堅強
站在大地上的東西。你要找到謀生的方式。現在考慮不晚了。

我從來不以為學歷有什麼重要,天才都不是科班,但,不是科班,連龍套都跑不了。

你必須把那些浮如飄絮的思緒,漸漸轉化為清晰的思路和簡單的文字。
華麗和漂浮都不易長久。你要知道,給予文字閱讀快感不夠的,
內容,思想,境界,靈魂,精神和智慧,這些才重要。
不要多看那些和你一個路數的女作家的文字。不要瑣碎,無病呻吟。
不要想到什麼就寫。不要流連於小感傷和小感動。

我要你相信溫暖,美好,信任,尊嚴,堅強這些老掉牙的字眼。
我不要你頹廢,空虛,迷茫,糟踐自己,傷害別人。

我不要你把自己處理得一團糟。
節制自己的感情並且珍惜它,明白這種感情不是任何人都能要。

體驗生活,是另外一回事,並不意味著墮落和放縱。
千萬不要認同那些偽裝的酷和另類。
他們是無事可做的人找出來放任自己無事可做的藉口,真正的酷是在內心。
你要有強大的內心。

要有任憑時間流逝,不會磨折和屈服的信念。
不是因為在學校的象牙塔中,才說出我愛世界這樣的話,
是知道外面的黑,髒,醜陋之後,還要說出這樣的話。

好好去愛,去生活。青春如此短暫,不要歎老。
偶爾可以停下來休息,但是別蹲下來張望。
走了一條路的時候,記得別回頭看。時不時問問自己,自己在幹嘛?
傷心和委屈的時候,要嚎啕大哭。哭完洗完臉,拍拍自己的臉,擠出一個微笑給自己看。
不要揉,否則第二天早上會眼睛腫。

給自己一個遠大的前程和目標。記得常常仰望天空。記住仰望天空的時候也看看腳下。
任何時候,任何人問你,有過多少次戀愛,答案是兩次。

一次是他愛我,我不愛他。一次是我愛他,他不愛我。
好的愛情永遠在下一次。別給同一個人兩次傷害你的機會。

不要與浪子,文藝青年交往,別和沒心沒肺的人在一起,別和沒有正當職業混日子的人在
一起。別把犯賤當真愛。一個人作踐自己來取悅你的時候,千萬不要因此感動。
一個男人的煙頭燙在他身上,下一個就可能燙在你身上。
同樣的,當這個女人的刀片割斷她的手腕,下次就可能割斷你的。

千萬別相信一個不準備將你介紹給他的朋友圈子的男人。
一個女人只肯喊你“寶貝”的時候,堅持要她喊你的名字,因為你是男人。
一個男人或者女人不再來找你的時候,就不要再去找他或者她。
不要相信在戀愛上用手段的人。分手時不要口出惡言。
吸取教訓,但不要後悔。後悔沒有用。

別去做撕照片,燒信,撕日記這樣一類三流愛情電視劇中才有人幹的事。
相信愛情。相信好男人和好女人還存在,還未婚,還在茫茫人海中尋覓你。
別說“男人(或者女人)沒一個好東西”,這樣使別人誤以為你閱人無數。

愛物質,適當地。永遠知道精神更重要。
比起那些名錶,名牌,時裝,更加美麗的是勤奮而有朝氣的你自己。
如果你20歲以後所花的每一分錢還都是伸手向父母親人要來的,那你的滿身名牌就只能襯
托出你的無恥。別以為穿上名牌你就有品位,要知道如果沒有真正的內涵,騾子配上金鞍
也不會變成駿馬。
你還年輕,先不說開始你的事業,開創你的未來,但你已經成年,至少也要讓自己不再成
為父母的負擔,讓父母看到20年辛苦養育的希望。

無所事事只會把你變成一個廢物,一個被所有其他人鄙夷的廢物,因為這樣的你是一個不
折不扣的寄生蟲。
別以為弄個怪異的髮型,穿上不男不女的衣服,噴上刺鼻的香水,別人就會注重你,
要明白那樣招來的眼光就是別人在看一隻與眾不同的猴子。
許多有教養的人對另類的你的反感並不寫在臉上,但這種反感確鑿無疑肯定會給你帶來極
其不利的後果。

別瞧不起勞動人民。不要為勞動羞恥。土地不髒,汗味不難聞。
請尊重那些似乎生活狀況不如你,但仍然用自己的雙手誠實勞動養家糊口的人,因為這樣
才是尊重自己。永遠體恤那些生活在底層的人們,因為我們的親人就是在這些人群中。
我們不嬌貴。我們必須能夠自己養活自己,這是你的尊嚴所在。

不要小看一分錢。不妨自己去掙掙看。做人有時要強悍一點,被欺負的時候,一定要討回
來!但是不要記恨。小人之見,隨他們去好了。有原則的寬容和憐憫,會使你高貴。
有小心機的女生是可愛的,但別把這種心計用在勾心鬥角上,那樣會很累。
做人不要太高調,高調容易招惹是非。
但也不能太低調,該強悍時則強悍,但切不可咄咄逼人。

被朋友傷害了的時候,別懷疑友情,但提防背叛你的人。原諒,但並不遺忘。
做人存幾分天真童心,對朋友保持一些俠義之情。要快樂,要開朗,要堅韌,要溫暖。
這和性格無關。但你要忠誠,勤奮,要真誠的尊重別人,這樣你的人生才不會黑暗。

寬待自己,也寬待別人。當你不會因為小小的不如意小小的事而生氣或難過的時候,
你會輕鬆很多。

要原諒這個世界和自己。
要告訴自己,我值得擁有最好的一切。

Day 20 and 21.

Wednesday... a day wasted.... I was assigned to help with maintaining law and order for Aberdeen's Boat Race.... that's a task I dont enjoy doing too much... firstly, it deprive my time of spending with my unit (my learning time)and worse still.... the DVC's order can be non-sense at time... gosh... i'd rather spent time in the office doing my paper work, instead of doing nothing watching the crowd....

It's a very exciting day in other areas of Aberdeen, Fire, TADO, traffic enforcement etc.... but I cant join them... shame.

Thursday.

A day with no time for meal. While I was having breakfast an elderly just died at the elderly home, gotta attend scene and check body... Once you've face death... the less scary it gets (and this time the environment was much better, just a bit creepy and some smell....) I dont know it's good or not to be indifferent... on one hand, I can have my clear mind when dealing with death cases... but on the other, I'm afraid I'll lost the respect for Life.... I must remember this.

A phone deception in the afternoon, nothing much.

While I was having lunch, on my first bite I was summoned to a traffic accident, person injured scene... poor boy... smashed the windshield with his head, I hope he's alright....

This case drew plenty of media attention.... apple, oriental, sing tao, ming pao, tvb, atv, nowtv, cable.... you name it.... dunno if i'll see the case tmr?

Tired now.... no gym today.... must get back to exercise soon...

Exam's approaching.... time to study.

Sleep now....

Day 17, 18, 19.

Still.... busy lately.

Saturday, Didnt know I got to give briefing to colleagues even in D shift, nor did I know i got to wear arms.... was so unprepared and late starting the day's work....

Nothing too much... a bit of file work... a bit of Hea.... that's about it.

Sunday.... glad I have a holiday finally.... feeling so tired lately.... wake and sleep again soon... afternoon spent writing my 'AO grade' paper.... I really should have applied for AO..... but frankly.... i hate the writing task.... I'll just keep on doing my job for the time being....

Went to Sai Wan to meet with Mi... watched "A-Team".... it's quite funny....

Monday... waking up feeling sleepy.

Meet with DC, then attended another briefing by boss.... worse still..... I was left all alone with my 2 assistants having sudden sick leave and leave on that day.... I guess I must have done many things wrong... nevermind.... things will get better.

Staying till late.... but still without much progress....

Tuesday...

A hot day... and i spent most of the time outside.... handled a traffic accident, spent some time in ALC and WF, WK.... I stint when i got off work....

Went for football with colleagues.... it's joyful.... though tiring.

Saw jeffrey tonight.... it's good to have time with friends once in a while.

Gotta sleep, need to wake early for maintaining order in Dragon Boat Race tmr.

Day 16

Finally, last day of Regional attachment.

A day spent in Eastern Magistracy.... feeling sleepy all day....

But it's good to have plenty of time with colleagues.... it's probably the last we can be so free.... a good breakfast, a decent lunch and afterwork drink...

Good times always flow fast.

Took a break from all work today..... took a nap and now watching World Cup.... i doubt if I'll have time to watch 10 matches this year (contrary to previous world cups, which I at least viewed 90 percent of those.....)

It's all about adaptation.

Day 15

Another useless day in IHQ....

Arrived at 0815, first meaningful time (apart from breakfast) starts on 0945.... why on earth are they calling us back so early?

Regional crime unit.... it should be joyful to join them at work.... but visit? Not really.....

Went back to work straight after regional attachment..... for the protection of government officials (our Secretary of Justice, Wong Yan Lung and Secretary of Commerce and Economic Development, Lau Ng Wai Lan) for their political reform campaign.... I truly believe if the commanding officers were being assessed by exercise team, they'd all been failed. Poor command presence during briefing, confusing duties, no ground control and obviously over estimated the crowded size..... that's about it....

The only good thing about it.... I can claim Time Off and meal allowance from such operation...

My application for standard two papers had been approved.... time to work hard.

Court visit tomorrow.... hope it's not taking too long.

Day 14...

Was a bit tired in the morning....

I'd say, the regional attachment was a total waste of time.... Visit to RCCC? What's the point?

Afternoon was no better.... the only joke of the day.... when visiting the regional missing person unit.... we've failed to locate any of their staff.... no wander they're called the region's 'missing person' unit..... for they always disappear....

Tuesday, June 08, 2010

Day 12 and day 13

Initially, day 12 and 13 should go like a holiday for me.... Regional attachment.... but i ended up working with the files still....

Moonday, morning spent here and there visiting regional traffic. No idea why they are spending so much time on stupid things...

Afternoon, meet with RC and big bosses.... pretty good.

Night, pop back to work and was asked by my boss to go back home as he sees me spening too much time at work....

Tuesday, visit to EU. Time would have been abundant had I not forgotten the strong belt at home...

Would have been an interesting trip if I wasnt shown the key sensitive locations by my sergeants already...

Got complimented by boss today, not a bad way to start....

Worked till 10 pm..... time for dinne now.

Day 11

What can i say? One night of workload exceeds what i had in the previous few nights. It's the kind of all hell broke loose night.

Headed to office early. Worked a bit on the file I was given, at the same time having a headache over a non-police matter given by my boss... environmental scan on future development of southern district? Is that even within my charter? Once i finish that project i should apply for a job as AO in government....

While i was working on the files, a call rang and said there's a 'jumping' case... had no choice but to attend scene. The deceased was an elderly and his body was contorted and brain splattered. Fortunately a suicide note explain most. It's funny that when handling with such case, when there is no clues, there will always ample suggestion from nowhere to identify them and locate their family. Coincidence? I dont know.

Rest of the night was eventful too. Claiming to be member of public... turned out to support an officer surrounded by 1X teenagers in the disorderly in public place and obstructing police officer case... worst still, an assault case right before my shift..... have to stay for 2 hours after work to deal with it.... so sleepy now.

Saturday, June 05, 2010

Day 10

Finally feeling the adverse effect of working C shifts..... I can no longer get the dates right.....

Last night was normal, except for the fake 'attempt suicide' and 'burglary in progress'.... well, experience is so important in handling such cases....

Finding the 'Magic' of my intray..... it can generate files with short bring-up date at any time of day and night.... one week for a complete southern district environmental scan? Is that even possible?

Feeling so tired after the shift.... it's not feasible to stay longer and complete the file before I head home.... better get back soon and finish the job... later.

Day 8 and day 9

Tuesday, It's been a quiet night except for the AOABH and snatching case that happened..... first time feeling helpless when fighting against crime.... it's especially fuming when you know the crime took place just moment ago in the same spot but yet you can do nothing about it.... damn....

Otherwise it's the routine procedure.... some drunk person etc.

Wednesday.... day off... hanging lazily at home, reading mostly.... still havent got the intention to revise for the upcoming standard 2 exam.... sigh......

Thursday.... it's another quiet night.... but finally start to realize how full my intray can be when you're off for one day..... so many tedious tasks to do.... but luckily... most have been completed.... I just hope tonight there will not be too many arrests in Victoria Park or else my unit will be depleted of man power...

Weekend and day 7

The weekend was relatively calm... stayed at home and doing nothing much, it's a good time to nurse myself though...

Monday's daytime is a break for me, as i was having night shift that night. But i still have to wake early in the morning as some minor renovation work was taken place at home... spent the evening shopping in mong kok. Had a pretty good french dinner before i head to work.

Night shift, it can be good as there's no boss in the station, you can spend the time on paper work or idly (such was impossible with the presence of boss, they will call you out once or twice every hour.) It's a quiet night and i have finally reviewed the old files in hand. I found my writing skills were deteriorating fast.... need more practice and experience...

The morning after was a torture, so sleepy.... i slept all the way till 7 at night, and now it's time to work again.... wish me luck.
