The eerie ....

Hahaha ... As usual, the Chinese New Year Week is gone. And I am back to the outside world. This week has been quite slack and fruitful, no real pt other than swimming. But definitely a lot of tests, in cluding the important drill test. I have passed my drill test, of getting more than 70%, and also my whole squad had passed the entire drill tests, which is good, because i want my whole squad to POP with me.

And also good news, I have 2 frames of shooting this week and both I attained Marksman. Wow, considering the fact that I just failed and get the lousiest score last week, achieveing such a high improvement is really stupendous. But of course the most important thing is still the counted ones, the frames of my tests, and to keep my cool. In real competition, those who are calm will eventually win the game. So, the 5th night shooting and the 7th frame, I swear I will do well and continue attaining Marksman.

My pt, I train with some of my friends every night except for yesterday night, when I help my friends, those who fail their 1st drill test and going to today morning's last drill retest. Help up to 11 something, which is quite late. But, nevertheless, feel good and great. Helping friends must be my principle. Going to be fit, and get gold for my IPPT. I can do it !!!!

And but 2dae, taking the law test, which is MCQ yet very tricky, I fail miserably, of 9 / 20. Though it is MCQ, my OC said that these 20 questions, as they are our first test, is was set purposefully simpler. Yet, the questions I realise are tricky. And do not think too mych as stated by my OC and also my father who is also a police. Must heed their advice, I must fulfill my principle, let the change awaits me, let the change waits on me.

But this week, has also been quite slack. We police is indeed customer-service oriented. Maybe due to this, do we have a very "slack" timetable. Sometimes, very busy, yet sometimes, just stay in bunk and wait. I have been I.C for 2 days, not very pretty but it is good training for me. I get scoldings from every superiors whenever I go. This is due to the fact that I am really a Mangkok, and also my hesitation moves. I must be firm and decisive. Only then can I be a good leader. Today is especially oblivious, for I get scoldings from SSS,S.I and also made my OC shakes his head. I saw the S.I, yet did not greet him. Maybe I am really too panicky to return the key. Anyway, I have learnt good lessons. I have also let my squad down by making my whole squad looks stupid, by telling the mess I.C, that we need time to adapt. Hai~~~ I must really use by big brains before I speak my mind. We fit squad, OCt squad, Coporal Squad and Squad 1 is supposedly a very fit and good squad, intelligent inclusive. But, he said that this batach of A-level and diploma is very blurred. I must really reflect on this ...
BTW, have chosen NPCO as my route, that is frontline officer. It may be dangerous and disgusting, but hey what I want is experience and serving the ppl. Or else if I want benefits, I will never have joined ODAC. Still got plenty of other tests, like First Aid. Must buck up ....

Hey, a lot of stories. 1st, about the echo coy tree well. There is a well, very old one, surrounded by a tree. It is believed that that well is haunted. There is a woman like Zhen Zi, who has long hair covered her hair wearing white shirt ... And also an infant or baby daughter.It is said that at night, that woman will float on that tree, just opposite the echo coy building. This is definitely not pleasant. For some people from former batches until now claimed that they sometimes can see that woman at the tree top. Then that woman somehow realise she is being watched. For those people who have seen her will cover themselves with blanket. But, when they thought that everything is ok. They reopen their blanket and then they will see that woman ghost float in front of their window. This is bloody scary. Luckily that window is charmed. All echo coy windows especially the top floors are pasted with Quran holy words and also Chinese Yin Yang, octagon. Maybe due to this, that woman cannot enter, but this is scary, for that woman in front of u, just separate by a window .... Eeekkk....

That woman is supposedly finding her baby daughther. Why we know is daugther? Well, will tell in a couple of seconds. It is believed that woman last time with her baby daugther jump into the well with unknown reason. Think long long time again, police academy is situated in Malay Kampong cum Cemetery.

A lot of stories loh. Delta coy which is opposite echo is also not let off. We have a bell, medium-sized, in front of our entrance. This bell supposedly, we cannot disturb. A sentry person go and play with the bell even with much dissuasion, end up getting 5 days M.C. We also find baby foot steps on the unslept bed. We can hear baby anklets bell tring at night in our bunk. Squad 3 complaint of seeing that woman standing at a bed. The other complain of compressing of pillows, of which these 2 have been said before.

Some people who are religiously not sensitive, bring pork and pay for it. That guy put the prok into his locker. At night, everyone in the squad can hear his locker shaking but cannot find anything . The next morning that locker is found in the middle of the parade square which is very far away. Creepy. And also the girls bunks. Luckily they move to Charlie Coy. Though there are still some similar disturbances to the former Bravo coy girls bunk. Girls got menstrual cycle, and have to monthly get rid of their blood and "feteus". But, they did not dis pose it properly. A lot of disturbances. Their feteus is messed up. Their entire barang mess up. The girls are all afraid. Thus, they are told to properly dispose their things into the dustbin downstairs.

The sentry people also meet a woman with that long hair sitting on our Delta coy staircase combing her hair. The sentry people quickly run back to duty officer, panting. Got one sentry person faint. Because he holomud or salute the pssing inspector at the rear gate, but when that inspector turn back to salute back, he realise that that inspector does not have a head, but only the peak cap. The 2 sentry people goes to blk 29 with my OC who is DO for that day also meet with creepy things. They go to blk 29 to drink coffee, to which they heard a whistle. That whistle goes from soft to loud, almost to just beside them .The sentry people at 1st is sent outside to look what happened, to which they come back pale-faced. Asking about this place whether it is creepy. My OC had to smile and act like nth wrong though he himself is also scared.In the end close the door, yet the whistle sounds are so loud that it is like beside them. Impossible that anyone will blow whistle in the late night, for my OC glance outside and saw no one. In the end, they get out, and quickly scram off.

My OC also saw one owl amazingly following his car while driving. Then suddenly at the swimming pool ground, it peek at my OC through the window screen and dive into the ground and suddenly disappear, my OC panic and instead of going to swimming pool, quickly drive out of tracom. The swimming pool upper deck also got a fierce ghost, a woman supposedly wearing red, roaming around. Heard that someone ganna her, and suffer though the detail I don't know. Even the history of that woman in red, I do not know.

There is even sightings of a jumping ghost like zombie but of Malays origin. The echo coy woman in white, which a lot of people believed to be a potiniak, my friend also have seen her. A white cloth wavering at the echo coy tree well. My friends are chatting under the delta coy table at midnight when he saw that.

For me, a bloody close encounter. Yesterday night, very late, talk to my friends on his bed. His bed is just next to the unslept bed. Scary, don't know whether it is human or the invisible. A pillow from that bed which is untouched, suddenly just flung onto me. Dun knoe whether I got said any offensive words or not ... My friend and I are stunned and shocked. I turned back quickly to look, and the next nearest to that bed, my other friends are not present, as they are together with me. The others are too far to touch the pillow and sped off that fast to their bed with me suddenly turn my head to look at the culprit. I just shone my torch light at that direction and muttered, " Whoever is that person, pls get away and dun disturb me ... " Luckily everything goes on well. I ask my friends all who do that prank today morning to which none admit. Dun knoe. Quite creepy.

Even one incident of sightings of children at night by the sentry people. The children actually ask the sentry where is their soccer ball. Think, how can police academy has children wandering around, and at late night asking for ball? Creepy ... Btw, I am going to do sentry at night, I think on this coming Monday. Great ...

After inputting so much, Arigo Para Slempre again. Tired man. Nitesz.

Finally ... The Chinese New Year Resolution

Hahaha ... So long have not touch the blog. This might be the last week of "slacking" of my 3 months before I POP. Cos there will be no more public holiday until the Good Friday. That week is really good as I can have 3 days of holiday. Anyway, Chinese New Year comes finally, the year of rooster.

Realise I must have really a flaw before I can change and become better. I come to a sudden realisation that this type of change is too late and always imbue me with a keen sense of poignant mood. Thus, I have devised a new kind of philosophy for myself to be followed. it seems bloody simple yet I do not grasp its concept until now. Like I say before, I do not know why do humans like me, especially the mudane one, will have to meet with tragedy or force so that they can change. Perhaps it is innate human nature, but I do not care. To gain enlightenment, the first thing I must do is to become better. Though the judgement of betterment can be entirely controversial, what matters most is I feel good and people feel good about me, for my thoughts and deed. I will really have to reach the standard of my Secondary school motto, "Be mighty in thoughts and deed". Frankly this is my favourite motto, from my least favourite school, Mayflower Sec, but perhaps, it is my clouded and obstinate behaviour that gives me this type of presposterous judgement. In fact I have led a good life, fortunate though I will definitely meet with failure here and there. But it is the failure that makes me strong, but hey my new philosophy, "Do not wait for the change to occur, let the change waits on you ..." :)

Anyway, the year of rooster comes ... And like any other Chinese, I will sincerely wish all my friends a good and Happy New Year even to those non-Chinese friends. I will face many challenges. Hope everyone can be happy, gratified in everythings they do. This is a simple yet absolute wishes I can give to anyone, from my friends to acquaintances, even to enemies (which I hope there is none) ....

The reason I have this new philosophy, "DO NOT WAIT FOR CHANGES TO OCCUR, LET THE CHANGE WAITS ON YOU", is because of the fact that I have failed miserably in my tests in Tracom. I fail my shootings because I did not do my best. I have to always fail and make excuses and become better. Why cannot I do well in the 1st place when I have already mental preparation. Even my IPPt, the least expected I can fail is shuttle run, yet I fail. I have sincerely speaking, never fail shuttle run in my life. From primary to J.C. But I fail 2 times. Because I do not what happen to me. I really have to wake up to my ideas (Like those F.I always scold me and use words like Manko[Bowl-headed]) . If I really want to gain enlightenment and become better or simply the best, I will have to change before failure. Though it is wise to keep things balance and checked like failure and success is a common thing to a soldier, or a good beginning is half-way towards being successful, in the end, success will not come to one who do not entirely push himself. I do not try to fail but fail to try. Another thing I solely lack is courage. Courage is essential. I may feel nervous when doing great things or even simple tasks, but hey a good person never bow down to stress. Even when many people or examiner are looking at you. My command of language can improve, but courage and natural flair of charisma is not found in everyone. Hwever this type of charisma may not be in my possession, however, I must have the basic charisma. This can be activated if I want it to occur. In terms of relationships, inclusive of personal, romance and social, I feel that I have failed (though not totally but 70/100 is still a fail if you know what I mean).

Hai~~. Only when you really want to drive a ship, do the ship can go straight when it reaches the harbour. Gods only help those people who really help themselves. Yapping and yapping, I really hope after this blog, I will really become a wise man. Hope ...

Valentine coming though it will be on Monday and I will be in Tracom. I may not have gf, but that does not stop me from "celebrating". Decides to bring love letter into Tracom, sing love songs and eat the love letters. Haha. Funny way but hey this is to "punish" myself for being too introvert and "not knowing how to be a Man, a gentleman". Not going to be like that again.

And come to serious thing, about the ambitious business plan. There have been many changes. I swear I am going to do a better job. To prove my worth. Doing business is scrupulous, and must truly have a good business brain and even human relations. Though luck is important also. About the courses we want. I swear I will think of guidelines to ensure that we have a good business plan and procedure for our meetings. Only then can our business carry on smoothly. Meanwhile going to enlighten myself. ....

Arigo Para Slempre. A signal that I am going to dream land. Hahah. Good nite. This few days have been especially exhaustive. Gamblinf for fun, with relatives. Gambling to pass time and also to "communicate" with relatives. Feel better now though I am really scared of getting another relapse of phlegm and flu. As usual, will drink more water. I am not writing essay but merely flow in my writings while inputting this blog. So it may be a little messy. Haha. No real order. Gd luck to me for the tests I am going to have. The Drill tests coming up and even the law tests. And the defensive tactics. To myself: Remember the new philosophy .... Nitez off again.

P.S: Got many hauntings and stories at tracom especially from my coy, Delta and especially echo. Perhaps in next blog, I will consolidate those versions. Creepy though ...

CNY coming soon and I am ...

Quite worrying, since last week, got phlegms and coughs. Until now, I am still contacting this diseases. Police life may not have been that bad compare to my friends who are going to Tekong. They also have coughs. In fact, it is a tradition that all of us will fall sick lah in N.S. Most important things are these stupid virus and bacteria are contained, and all of us are happy and bright.

Have report sick for the first time. Get punished for the first time by our Mr nice F.I. I know our squad are testing his patience. We have been late to go for breakfast and even parade square. Our drills sucks and our fitness, this I believe do not need further clarification. Get to go up to the highest floor of my company, and change to p.t attire, full uniform attire and half-u attire with the shitty raincoat. Change and change each in 2 minutes time, and needless to say, we confirm exceed time. Going up already take 30s. We take our fatigue very seriously only in the last 2 days as we want to walk out smoothly.

Anyway, my squad no complaints. We hold a debrief at least to review our mistakes and how to ameliorate our improvements. A series of plan, and many responsible people.

I am glad at least F.I help me do the job of waking up my fellow squad members to their ideas. If I will to tell them, things may turn out ugly. Hahah, finally waiting for this day. We get further punishment of carrying 8kg sand bag and run around tracom 3 times. On hill. And doing manual stuffs like push ups, pull ups and crunches. Our squad supposedly is a fit squad and an OCT squad. Naturally F.I and many others will mock us when we screw up.

:( My shooting fail miserably today. I get the lowest in the entire squad. 25 points out of 70. I am absolutely horrified by my total loss. Anyway, I have 4 bullets non shoot, and 8 bullets missed, and also 8 bullets not hitting target (Tan Ah kow) at all. The distance is of course greatly increased, making this 2nd frame shooting harder. But that is not an excuse. Promise I will keep myself cool and steady.

Worst thing is I am changing into vegetarian because I am getting sick. Worst may sound too much. Foods maybe sucky, but nonetheless, I am here to suffer for 3 mths, not totally slack. I really have to wake up to my ideas.

Not aiming for OCT, but I will like to be chosen into that 50 candidates for frontline officers. I want to get free driving license and to learn more things. :)

Haha, to keep things short, have to once again, Arigo Para Slempre !!!

Nitez and a better life to me. Hopefully I will recover before CNY, I want to celebrate this occasion happily. Happy everyone ...
