weeks draws closer

Days draw closer to ORD! Everything seems like yesterday, like the first day I joined FOXTROT. Though my stay at FOXTROT was the most pleasent one but I sure had my fair share of fun as well as knowing some really fun peeps. Well everyone in the office was always busy with their stuff, and till now nothing much changed. Its in this sort of enviroment you actually get to see different sort of people, pretty interesting this new hobby of my I think I am going obesesive over it, observing each individual doing their thing. Hahaha.....

Went for the NDP preview duty, was pretty excited over the occasion as I would be OPscon to ECHO division to helpout. My TL for the day was SI ROYSTON wella very short fella but physically fit to the max, heard from DIN he was the 1st batch of UNPKF(Unite Nation Police force). Well he was a joker man despite the senior rank that he is holding. He mingles with his man, talks with that kiddy attitude. I would rate him with a Cool Factor.

We were brief on what we were suppose to do at the station. As I alight from the bus, I saw SGT Jason Kwek he was also on duty. Haha, but his job was much simpler just stand at the entrance where the supporting units and GOH contingent enter. Stop tochat with him for awhile before instructions were given to report to ECHO's sector at the National Satdium. Got our gas mask and stuff like that, was then led to the tentage outside. We were assign to conduct security checks on suspicious bags, which meant we were left to our discretion to check each individual spectator's belonging if they deem to fit the description given by the PHQ. Welltime passed fast espcially after 1500hrs, the crowd came, frommy gate we were expecting about 10k strong crowd entering, evenly shared among the 3 lanes that our division is incharged. Huge numbers of spectators swarm in, the army boys(GUARDS) were working like crazy giving out the goodie bag and the ushers were like so busy peeling the tickets, wish I could help them but well orders were given to mind our own business, and so thats what I did well I do pity them espcially the army boys giving out the goodie bags.
I guess our duty was quite relax cause once the gates closed we were given orders from ECHO division to rest at their OE designated corners. As usual dinner was KFC, well they should change abit. I finally know the difference between FOXTROT and ECHO division. Hahaha, FOXTROT is always concern about the welfare of the me, whereas ECHO they are more result orientated. From the OE rooms I can see the difference, Echo's was damn lousy, so cramp and hot whereas FOXTROT's OE corner was like fully air conditioned which we never really did get a chance to enjoy. All was well that day, so nothing much to complain about, the only thing that was crazy was the standing, legs were killing me when I reach home. That sucks!!!

Well another week to go and off to Bangkok. I want to visit CREATIVE JUICE/G1's office I've got the address already. Dying to go there and see.....hahaha. Hope to write another entry before I leave for my Holidays!

Cheers!

its been so long

woah! haven been inputting any entries for about a month. Finally got the chance to clear my leave, well having said that I have about a month or so of entitled leave to clear. Been so busy with my own portfolio as well as preperation for holidays with my friends to Bangkok. There is so much things to prepare for the trip, like booking of air tics and booking of hotel all this has just been done. Whats left to be done is to plot out the places we are gona visit.

Everyone seems excite at first, but recently Ian was talking on the phone with me. The anxiety and excitment has seem to have died down probably its because his friends who has just visited Taiwan brought back too much goodies. But still we are glad that ORD is drawing closer for everyone of us, including myself though mine would come 3 months later then them haha...

My cousin just got wed that day. Attended both his church ceremony as well as the chinese feast in the evening. It was definetly a glorious day for him as well as a happy one, haha I am talking rubbish right of cos its a joyous one. Well there seems to be so much things happening this month.

Well been really busy working on ideas and concept for myself. Doing shoots with Darren whos doing the photography and for myself art directing every scene, its really fun despite the sweating and stuff. Really proud of the photography work we produced there would definetly be more to come as we are alreayd coming up with some other ideas for our next shot.

Passed by Red Dot museum on sunday with darren. Everything looks rather old from the out side, but in the inside everything looks new. But still abit eery, maybe its because of the rich history it has as a Traffic Police HQ.

Well till next time, I would prolly post more crap.
