I took a dive... a plunge into mystery. A place that not many people will be able to take it, a place that the future is still unknown. I took it anyway. I just don't wanna live to regret it. And asked myself what ifs.

3 years. Long/short? You decide.

But I think I can just make it. We'll see.

Sat nite n im home ya? sad. haha..

I'm in need of English lessons. Can't believe myself for making such basic errors. Hello. ALTER not AUTHOR. What the hell was I thinking. haha.. i knew something was wrong when i typed that. But as a typical I-don't-give-a-damn lazy guy, I just ignored it.. Now it comes back to haunt me. ha. Thanks Ah sze who corrected me in tagboard. Now i have the I-Feel-Damn-Lousy type of feeling. Next time, I better check my vocab before I dare to post anything. haha... Everything is spelt correctly so far right? haha.

Paranoid. Yeah. Ego is shattered. Ha.

Work work work.. Seriously, if I was given a choice, I would choose to further my studies instead of working. Studying in a way is still better. You'll get term breaks and such.. Work? Singapore is so hectic. So you'll know what I mean. But well, no choice for me.

Before, it was smartly on uniform.. now, its all thats left.. everything being taken down from the uniform and waiting for the ORD date and taking back my pink IC. Arghh. Sad isn't it?

Anyway, went for an interview today, think I fared badly though, besides, its a internet company, not exactly a video production house or such (though i know its not) ha. anyway, they kinda expect me to kick start their video department and be a pioneer. WOW. I'm like thinking, ok this freshie here is gonna kickstart yr video department. Cool eh? hahaha... but going over to that interview place brings back memories.. it used to be the building where MTV was! ha. Everything just look so kinda familiar. Just that its not MTV. haha... Anyway, I guess I can't really talk in interviews.. always fared badly at questions like tell me about yourself or stuffs like where do you see yourself in 5 years time.. I know, I know, I should have thought of the questions long ago. But seriously, its easier when I'm going interview for production houses coz I can aspire to be someone along the same line n industry.. but web? I'm like.. if I answer I aspire to be a director.. thn she'll prob say, oh you have come to the wrong company and such. ha. or maybe, I just think too much ya? hahha...

Hmm.. Smart Mun eh? Heck. I bought it last minute as well.. a few hours before the interview, I rushed to J8 to get a set. The interview is at Shenton Way, I surely dun see myself wearing polo shirt n jeans.. so Shirt n pants it is. thn I had to rush back to amk to alter my pants. And guess what? It rained heavily. So there I was stuck at the coffeeshop feeling stressed coz I might be late for the interview! Luckily, the rain managed to stop in time and I had to get a cab to go down to the said location. Phew.



But thn again. its a bad interview. : P haha...


Went out for dinner with Sher yesterday. Found out that she's gonna leave Sg in about a month's time. Gonna be located at Doha and fly for a few years there. Only get to come back to Sg a few times a year. Well, sometimes, if you really know what you want and like what you do, you don't mind where you'll be. So Miss Air Stewardess, enjoy yr time there. :)
So unlike me, still not sure where I'll be in a month's time. Haha...







Thats the crazy gal with a so stupid looking mun. ha.

Thats it. The full tour is over, my NS life has ended. No more police work for me. No more shitty cases for sure. But thn again, like I've told everyone else, I'm happy and sad at the same time. Happy because I'm finally done with this phase of life that all men have to go through, sad because I'm leaving such a wonderful team with great teammates. Elton, Pei Sze, Ong, Hairul, Kamar, Zul, Wei Bin, Max, Rizal, Hisham, Lawrence, Jehan, Kow, Chee Khng, Shah, Fad, DTL & TL. Thank you for everything, thank you for letting me to see another side of Singapore, thanks for teaching me all about police life and showing me the ropes, thanks for being there for me when I was down. Just thanks for being wonderful colleagues, friends, kakis, buddies, brothers, (whatever they call it). Just thank you. Without you people, I won't be where I am today. Not forgetting, I know more about law now. Haha.. It seemed like a repeated post. But I just felt that the thank yous are not enough. Hope to see you people achieve greater heights in yr career, may it be IB, TP, Insurance company, Prisons or whichever place you may end up to. Weekends/evenings, feel free to call me for coffee, I'll try my best to be there. :)

Somehow, (I know I'm contradicting) I like police work. (Though not investigation or paperwork) Its really different and interesting to see how people will behave in their worst times, how desperate one can be and how chaotic a fellow can be. Its not what a typical normal Singaporean can see. I've been to chaotic cases, chasing fleeing subjects, attending to death cases, and sometimes (really) nonsensical people. You'll learn something extra, you'll learn how to handle situations of that nature if they do arise. You'll learn how to react and make important decisions when needed. Somehow, thanks to police work. It let me grow into a more sensible person.

Ahh.. Enough of all that I believe. I'll miss AN NPC for sure. If anyone is reading this and wants to join the police force, well, you're lucky if you're being sent to AN NPC team B. Its a great team. It still will be. I know. Enjoys.

The Departed Ones, Ha. Tat to IB. Me out of force.

The team for one final pic.

Back from Max's house where the mini farewell dinner was held. Our TL, Elton and of course myself are leaving the team, so they have this dinner thing. But in the end, it turns out to be a mini chinese new yr gathering. Most malay officers cant make it as they are preparing for their hari raya. Only hisham was there. ha. so its dinner, drinking and mahjong session. Half of them went to play mahjong while the other half played some drinking game. And of course yours truely had to drink the most. (Whether you considered that as kena saboh or im just plain unlucky, u decide. ha.) And after that, all hell break loose. Yea. Im in my own world thanks to mixes of Gin, Vodka, Red Wine, Jia Jia Liang Teh and Orange juice. Damn. Drank nearly 5-6 cups and not forgetting some of it I have to thank myself for pouring excessive amount of vodka in it.

The mini appreciation plaque. (It has errors in it!) Invaluable became invaluble. Ang Mo Kio North NPC became Ang Mo Kio NPC. -.-"

Before all hell broke loose.. photos with my group members Ong (left) n Elton (center)

This is me after all hell broke loose. Im just lying there making myself comfortable while the whole world is spinning in my mind. Ha. I have to thank pei sze for snapping that photo. haha..

Its nice to have a gathering.. once in a while. do bits of catching up n such. oh yah. Man U rocks. ha. Enjoys.

A tribute... to all..

In an instant, 2 years have indeed fly past me.. Still able to remember the day I had first enlisted to NS and ORD seemed so far away. Now, I'm approaching the end of NS. The next tour would be my last tour for Ang Mo Kio North NPC. The last time I would chase and catch subjects. The last time I would sit in the patrol car and patrol or slacking with them at KBNPP. Hai. Somehow, I don't really want to leave this team. Team B. Young, Hyper and on the ball. Our teamwork and cooperation is flawless. There are always officers helping each other to assist cases of interest and such. There aint really conflicts within the team. Hai.. But thn.. this team is changing. TL has gone to another team.. so are some of the members of the team. Max, Rizal and Fadzreen had ORD for sometime already, Chee Khng has quit, Elton has 'promoted' to Investigation Branch. I'm gonna leave. Others might be rotated to another team. New officers are in. Hoong Tha and Eugene. Its a new Team B.

Lets look at the past 2 years...

Drill Lessons With Sq 41 At Tracom. Oh ya. Tracom is gone too. Its Home Team Academy
now. (Not fogetting our big head Field Instructor)

Crazy things we do inside the barracks. (Luckily no ambulance needed for this incident) haha.

Our POP dinner in the famous 'walk out' attire...



Our POP March with the rifles.. Neat eh?

Came into team B, and this is a team building session held at peirce reservoir.. (had to walk bloody 10km!)

Max left our team... this pic was taken on his ORD date.

Team Bravo of AN NPC.



Thank you all for everything. I've learned alot during this 2 great years. Sq 41 and Team B. Thank You.

today has been a rather eventful day if u consider what happened below there...



WE FREAKING HELL GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT IN OUR STATION!! What the hell?!

So the story goes...
Zul (driver) with me and shah (passengers) were about to go out for patrol after pumping petrol in the station. So as we were negotiating a bend in our station, this freaking pickup came out from a parked position and rammed onto us! i mean what the hell.. inside the car, it felt as if we had mount a kerb, but as i turned to my right, to my horror this pickup is right in front of our side doors! Scared the freak out of us. 'another term would be the balls are at our throat'. The car did felt as if it would flipped over as i believed that this pickup driver got a shock after seeing us and instead of depressing on the brakes.. he stepped on the accelerator. -.-" freaky shite.

Damn. Zul was saying this earlier in the day... 'What shall we do today?" I'm like.. "Let's go catch someone or what lo..." (since I'm gonna leave the force soon and i'm going to KINS for re-service <-- will follow up on that later) Thn he replied "No.. Feel like doing something more interesting leh.." Ha. Slap on yr face Zul, is this something more interesting now? getting into an accident.
-.-" Luckily for all of us, no one was injured. And the funny thing abt what Zul said once he came out of the car is "Uncle! Police car leh!" I felt like laughing immediately. I mean obviously its a police car, n he bloody hell knew he rammed into a police car.. so whats that sentence for. Haha... Later i found out that he didn't know what to say, just feel like yelling something and that particular sentence came into his mind so he blurts it out. As for me, I came out of the car, looking freaking pissed and yelled for his driving licence and I/C. Me too, not sure what to do, just yelled that out as thats what normally happens when u attend to a case. Ha. Attending to my own case eh? So after sometime where the accident had registered into our brains, we thn began to do the proper documentations and informed relevant authorities. Not forgetting the mini-photo taking session after that. This is my first accident in a car.. well.. there's always a first in everything right? Hee. -ends-

And yes, as I was saying, I'm gonna ORD soon and my most probable vocation is KINS (something similar to Special Operations Command but its reservist type) which also means.. I wont be wearing that blue uniform that u will normally see on the streets, but to a long sleeved 'combat' type of uniform. Damn i'll hate reservist. not forgetting its 2 full weeks of stay ins. Drats. pls forget abt me SPF.. pls do.. (i know im dreaming)

As for the rest of u, drive safely pls. And always check yr blind spots. VERY important. Zul did his, but the other driver didn't. Damn.

Do you know there's a saying, kiang jiu ho, mai kay kiang.(read it in hokkien), yep. i think i ought to be scolded by mum with this phrase. ha. knowing that i don't really have a good immune system. i tried proving myself wrong thinking. (Ok i'll be ok. a little virus wont kill) never did i expect it to give me a full slap on my face. im down with flu. N yes in a way, its a reminder to me.. Mr Chee Mun, if there's someone who is sick, do not share the drink with another person coz u bloody dont have a good immune system. I guess my immune system is a self destructive kind. a little virus can kill it already. haha. here's what happened.

Went out with Ong n Elton to Double O last wed. and our ah tat (elton) is sick, down with a bad running nose. So there he was, got a jar of redbull vodka for all of us to share. He reminded us that he is sick n he's using a specific straw. And the big headed n confident me, thinking that my immune system will be ok, didn't really care abt the straws and just drank the drink like how everyone would share theirs. Ha thats it. The little virus killed me.

Today. Down with a bad running nose and slight sore throat. See the relationship between the running noses?! yes. yes. I better wake up from my fucking idea. haha. next time, dun even bother to think that it will be ok, coz IT WONT be ok. damn. Why am i that weak? Hai~!

Freaking running nose. -bleah-

hmm.. have been thinking for a while.. should i have a christian name? like its much easier for ppl to call me instead of zhiwen or chee mun. but what should i call myself? Jude sounds ok to me though... hmm.. sometime ago, i thought Alfie is ok too.. well.. maybe, when i enter this new company or workplace, thn i'll start with my christian name. currently is still chee mun. hahaha... we'll see. we'll see.


just realised that i have 3 more tours to do before i'm officially on leave. its coming. ahhh...

I cant believe i've clicked send. yes i did. I've sent to ministry of education. haha. u must be thinking to be a teacher? nope. video editor apparently. but a civil servant editor. haha. didn't know such position do exist. probably i've to edit all those educational programmes? hey, don't they outsource to other production houses to do the job? *shrugs*


Anyway, even if I'm to get in, i'll probably work for a year or two and change. ha. yep. to another production house or somewhere else (depending on my route of advancement).. hmm.. MDA next? ha. u never know man. what's with me and civil servant job?! (i'm eyeing their bonus actually. hahahah....)


Next. Oh ya. Botak Jones at B/608 AMK, their western food is really not bad. big servings and plates that you can normally find at restaurants; not as in plates but food of coz. ok lame moment. Thats y Ch U would recommend that certain western food? yep.


Counting down. 1 month and 2 days. damn. Its close.

darn. When its getting near, u just dun enjoy the time. yep. 1 month away from ord, 1/2 month away from clearing leave and im here still lost n jobless. ha. yeah. talk abt planning from way back eh? end up to nothing it seems. sent quite a number of resumes already, ok maybe not that much. probably around 4 or 5? yeah. have not sent to mediacorp though. heh.


ORD. just like another graduation. and where do i go from here? not sure dude. hate myself for that. but thn again, its not only me thats like this. Who to blame for all this? myself? ha. most ppl will blame the education system though. its the way we are being brought up. too much spoonfeeding, too little thinking. yep. its like suddenly at the age of 16, u r being forced to choose whether are u going for tertiary studies or jc. u may make a wrong choice there too. well alot do. thn after that (tertiary route), when u believe u have some knowledge and skills to go into the industry, NS calls u up and u have to stay in there for 2 yrs, not forgetting losing some skills inbetween. and when u ord, u r back to sq 1, freshie out in the industry. kinda sucky isnt it? well, it does for me. ha. yes i know, it may be some excuses. but i believe most nsf out there will be pondering abt the same thing when they are nearing ord. where will i be after this?


Life's been pretty mundane, similar stuffs week in week out. coffee, work, sleep, soccer, window-shopping, watch soccer, ktv. But its still pretty ok. :) i remember qy asking, i dun see u being desperate for a girl. ha. well, its been alright. just prob not really thinking abt a relationship now.. or rather there are no gals that im interested in. haha... talk abt picky. hahaha....


Anyway, *calculates* betting is seriously not good. markie mark. pls stop betting ok? dun wan yr bank account to drop til zero. u r like losing practically in every game. Enough!
