Life of guohui ...chp 315

they teared and wept at our feets begging us not to arrest them. we could heard the despair and fear of uncertainity in their voice as they told tales of their family and children back at home. though saddened by their act, however, we had to do what we had to do. because we are bounded by the term law enforcers.

ok, i'm really sick at the moment after the hectic work schedule tt stretches since last 6 days or so. so am i finally going to succumb to an mc after 1 yr in spf? or will i spur myself on with inservice tml, carry on for the next tour of duties over 3days? i've alr devoured 1 box of panadol cold.

no. i have to stick to my promise of not taking mc for my whole ns term. but at the expense of my health? stupidity rules, not principles, guohui.

meanwhile, SJM 7839 P is here, SC/sgt Yee Guo Hui as stated in the force order.

Life of guohui ...chp 314

the start of the new yr could be something good as i've mentioned. so far, most of the things are going in my way. or perhaps i am the one taking a lighter stand on the happenings ard me. well, the worst is yet so come.

work wise, it has been pretty smooth sailing. working with some very wonderful crew set so far. and it will be another 10mths before I ORD. it's good.

and on another note, taking helms is really making me confused when taking the wheels on the road. for one, helms is on the port side( which means the left side) while the driving wheels is on the left. and while out at sea, there is no speed limit, and there is a choice to cut the stern or bow of another vessel, having to counter wind and current. no pesdestrian, no traffic light. on the rd, it's a total diff ball game together. and poor me was so bad and confused today while driving. damn it. and i so suck at driving an auto car.

perfectly random post. must be the shock from doing search and rescue in Indon waters and the trip to batam on a police craft. or perhaps it's the upcoming IPPT when my legs are nt completely heal.

or perhaps i'm sick. literally.

guess that it is abt all i can think of at the moment.

new year countdown was great at copthorne king. though i think there are still lots of rooms for improvement.

spent the morning of 30dec on the PCG retreat at JOM clubhouse, met jon after that for a surprise visit back to cchsm for the sec 1 campfire. thinking back, it was the same event 2yrs back that we last worked together. it's good seeing jon again, having endless conversation for the rest of the day, reminiscing on our partnership, abt cchsm npcc, abt our lifes, abt everything under the sun. it's great talking to him. it's great seeing everyone in the unit again. it's great seeing ms khairani again. it's great spending time with uncle cai and my dearest CI harry. it's great seeing boss lam and my two wonderful CI jasmine and CI jiamin again. and too for the rest of the team. well, it kinda feels weird to be back not helping out. but our time is over, and the action belongs to the new team.

and sometimes, i really think that ppl who really worked with me are the ppl who are the closest to understanding and appreciating who i am. the same ppl who saw the other more serious side of me, the pondering guohui. the serious and analogical-minded guohui.

these aside, i ought to revise my hierarchy of needs.

happy new year everyone.

this could the start of something good.
