boy.
9 days have passed just like that, and i am totally shagged after fulfilling my duties as a security personnel at the IOC meet.
well, london won the bid for 2012. damn. i was rooting for Paris actually.
on a sidenote, it was rather unfortunate that london was bombed. in this case the victims were truly innocent civilians..there's really nothing else left to say. it was a rude shock.
anyway, after the bombing it was even more stressful for us police officers already working very hard behind the scenes. all sectors were on standby at high alert, and at my sector, we had to conduct 120% safety/security checks on every vehicle passing by (up from the usual 100% checks we were doing for the past few days).
i guess our efforts paid off, as we ended our 9-day vigil earlier this morning, ensuring no bomb exploded in Singapore during the meet. to sum it all, this deployment has been truly an eye-opener for me. it is indeed rare for police coast guard officers to be deployed for land duties..so we have to treasure all the land experience we can get. over the one and a half weeks, i made many new friends among the reservists and division personnel. truly a great bunch of people to work with. i actually felt sad this morning when we broke off and said our final goodbyes before parting.
well..looks like i have the weekend to recuperate from this stressful past week. and i have to gear up for POP. which happenes to be on next friday btw. busy busy busy. i haven't even sent my no.1 for drycleaning. haven't put on the buttons. haven't polished boots. die la.
in the meantime..i'm off to catch War of the Worlds. i'll prolly update some other time.
okay okay..i'll post up the pics soon k? whoever was the one who spread the rumour that i look cute in my uniform. is gonna get it.
ciao
