Sunday
to treasure somethin, u 1st haf 2 loose it. yea... most of e time, u realise this wen its 2 late. learn it e hard way, i guess. juz recently, heck, today even, a squad mate of mine passed away. abang rib-to-the-bone Zul met wif an accident at arnd 1 pm as he was on his way 2 a wedding at teban gardens. apparently, he was released 4rm duties earlier in e mornin ( he was supposed 2 remain on duty 4 some charity shit till 4 in e evenin) and oc told him 2 go back 2 relax. so he took e opportunity 2 go 2 e weddin. sigh. this dude is a real hell rider. a pro biker. but i guess, like my uncle, overcofidence killed him. he was tryin 2 catch up wif e gang wen he hit a truck. he got pinned underneath n died instantly.
i received a call at 1.30 frm sa'eed tellin me wat happened. kinda surreal actually. didnt belief a word... then again, tts how it is wen u hear news u dun wanna hear.
reality struck a chord wen i booked in at night. e once happy-go-lucky squad11 was damn sober and quiet. no one was in a mood for any crap or fun 4 tt matter.
at roll call, we were e 1st there. i didnt want 2 fall in. id rather sit down against a pole looking dejected. herrizad 4rm sq 10 helped me up n comforted me. damnit. zul was our best member. e senang hati guy who always scans e mess for e regulars. e guy who made famous e 'love eh' phrase.
at night, we had a little prayer n rememberance tingy. e alpha squads even gave some condolence money.
so i guess i gotta give a thanks shout out 2 all e ppl who sent their condolences in any means and all e friends who gave comfort 2 me n my squadmates during this tryin time.
e hardest pt of it all was us constantly reminded tt life has to go on. tt we haf 2 forget it happened, heads up.
Monday
e day started as how yesterday ended. yep. solemn n with thoughts making the air heavy. PDT was cut short as we had 2 attend e funeral. wen we came back, oc came 2 meet us. his words proved 2 b a tear-jerker. wat he said was infact vndicated by e newspaper report on zul. his's mom had said tt zul's dad had bought some biscuits n stuff 4 him 2 bring 2 camp. but it was sufficient 4 a few ppl. so he asked 4 more as he wanted 2 share e lot wif us wen he booked in. but he passed on b4 he could share it wif us. his mom had passed us e stuff wen we went visiting. emotionally, tt was juz priceless. to realise how much e squad has bonded. in oc's words, we are now and forever an incomplete jigsaw puzzle.
Tuesday
drill test 2dy. haha upset ah. i did a total suicide wen it came 2 my turn. heck, put it simply, i screwded up. dun wanna elaborate. nuff said. but i did pass tho. lol.
Wednesday
PDT was super fun 2dy. haha. had sparring, n well, it was fun. i had 2 sparr wif jonathan. tt idiot whacked my thigh wif e t-baton. ouch. yea, hurt like fuck.

Thursday
PDP was finally here. my duty 2dy was 2 guard chij sec skool. haha. chio bus. lol. well, on oversight, i kinda 4got tt it was e hols. so, damn. lesser girls in skool. i was supposed 2 stand at e gate n block entry 2 those who were nt staff or didnt haf e chij pdp coupon. kinda borin ah e 1st shift. heck. e parade was 2 start at 6. who would come at 8 in e mornin?
i decided 2 play a little game... actually, it came out by accident. ok picture this- i was standing in full uniform with reflective vest infront of e side gate, adjacent e main road. there was a bus lane. yep. cars started 2 filter out of tt lane upon seein me. haha. some even raised their hands 2wards me in sign of apology. haha. i noticed tt oni e female drivers passed along wifout changin lanes. i figured tt they didnt noe e rule. but there was this one lady who approached me (wen i had changed wif khamsya to the front gate) 2 ask if she would b booked coz she saw 'another' officer juznow taking down her plate no. as she passed in e bus lane. haha.
oh, i saw this one super chio chick. haha, hands down miss universe material.
came back 2 c tt fi had written on sq 15 board tt sq11 was confined for 3 wks. what? yea. called him n made clarifications. yep. it was supposed 2 b sq15. phew. fi was in a pretty funny mood 2dy. he even brought in food 4 us n told us to finish it all up. heh. like we wouldnt.
