Bittersweet Life...

i am now officially out of the CI course... yay!

the morning was spent training and perfecting the parade.... it was totally tiring. we trained for more than 5 hrs.... the onli break we took was during lunch. after tt, there was a short lecture, and back to rehearsal... the final rehearsal b4 the real thing.

and so, the real parade started.... marched in with pride as the parents and other loved ones applauded...it was an awesome feeling... but it wasnt as great as the moment when we marched pass... the sufferings we went thru finally came to an end... the other remarkable part of the parade was when our parents/ guests were invited to put on our rank for us. it was such a special moment.. a moment which marked the reward we've always been waitin for after goin thru mental and physical torture... we are very proud of ourselves..

our arms were kinda cramp, and obviously, very tired frm carryin the rifles... but it was all worth the pain tt we endured. it was a cool POP.... tiring but very enjoyable.

reception after the parade was boring... didnt really paid attention to it.. instead, my whole squad wenta change out of the full u... k, wanna sidetrack abit k... while we in our allocated classroom (yes, police academy does have classrooms too), 2 young police officers came iin... and they were like sellin wateva u call thingy la... like rubber bracelet. it's for charity... bla bla bla... they'll be cycling frm s'pore all the way to thailand in bid for charity, which i find really amazing... anyway, i was soo tired to buy the thingy... so lazy to get my wallet and walk up to them and get the bracelet... but, there was this malay guy... he was really cute.. hehe... his name is, i think, corporal Ali... so, i actually bought the thiing juz to strike a conversation with him... hehe... and also for charity la...

kk.. back to POP...

changed into much more cleaner and comfy clothes, my squad snapped some pics... yada yada yada... marched down... got into the car, and went off for dinner.. i was starvin... haha.. i ate a lot.

squad 2, do keep in touch although we've gone our separate ways. J05, gonna miss u batchmates... u guys are loads of fun... to my squadmates, love y'all... muaCkZ! hehe.... "pull back sir!!!" haha...

it was an experience for me to attend this course... though there were times when i felt like quittin and juz swearin and cursiin at anything and anyone to release the tension, it all boils down to a brilliant ending... like more bonds are forge.. more frenships were fostered.... and, i feel like a better person... with more knowledge and confidence...

though, this is not the end... coz every end is another beginning.
