Last day *cheers*

Finally the days of training has come to an end. Gone were the days of rushing through work and skipping dinner for lessons at the Home Team Academy.

I remembered vividly, the meeting up with the senior officers on the during orientation. There would be loud whispers going," Who's tt girl who used to be in PAD (Public Affairs Dept)? "

Yes, i am the talk of the squad. On the orientation with the various department heads, felt like a exhibit and discount item being 'solicited' to join the different departments as i was deemed suitable and 'attractive'.

Thank you for taking a liking to me. I appreciate the attention and hope i can contribute to your good department.

VSC training in a flash - actually we ex-regulars only had to attend the first aid lessons *phew*

My 1st Aid buddy for all the 'choking' and bandaging..

The Girls

Our squad - 75th Intake and our 1st Aid trainers: Mark and i-didn't-get-his-name.

The ex-regulars & PNSFs. Nice to be in the squad with Hirman, from C-course/2003.

No more irritants to rattle about our hair, trousers, socks and bra colour.

PS: We are working adults and do not go about thinking of which bra color to match with the white polo tee as we dress for work! No wonder u'll always be a small fry.

Good riddance! U will not be missed.

Daily dose of Dempsey

Saint Paul once said that the whole human race is divided into two groups: Night people and Day people.

Night people are associated with darkness, sleep and drunkenness. Day people are associated with light, alertness and soberness.

I love the day where i get to see the beauty of life, energy and the surroundings in a crystal clear perspective. When night falls, there is a fear in me that everything will come to an end and my time with my loved ones will be shortened. But.. sometimes i like to keep awake when everyone else is asleep to embrace the serenity of life.

I love to spend my nights @ Dempsey. Tapas & Wagyu beef night was spent with a very cool friend Terry.

At Jones the GrocerMy drink for the night~ can't remember its name lol
Loving my salmon tapas..
Wagyu beef

Thanks Terry for the voucher and great food!

Madam Kwa Geok Choo 1921 - 2010

Mdm Kwa Geok Choo, wife of MM Lee Kwan Yew was best known for her stoic support for her husband since his political struggle back in the olden days and also for providing firm family support as a wife, mother and grandmother.

She is a role model to all women in Singapore.

I picked up the newspapers in the morning and read about MM Lee's eulogy and snippets of him talking about his late wife. My eyes became watery with tears, being moved by the words of MM Lee as he spoke fondly of his wife:

Her last wish she shared with me was to enjoin our children to have our ashes placed together, as we were in life.

Every night she would wait for me to sit by her to tell her of my day's activities and to read her favourite poems. Then she would sleep.

I have precious memories of our 63 years together. Without her, I would be a different man, with a different life.

I should find solace at her 89 years of her life well lived. But at this moment of the final parting, my heart is heavy with sadness.

MM Lee said his wife's illness was one of the hardest things for him to face.

'What to do? What else can I do? I can't break down. Life has got to go on. I try to busy myself, but from time to time in idle moments, my mind goes back to the happy days we were up and about together.'

'She understands when I talk to her, which I do every night,' he added. 'She keeps awake for me; I tell her about my day's work, read her favourite poems.'

'I told her, 'I would try and keep you company for as long as I can.' That's life. She understood.'

"We've got to go some time. I'm not sure who's going first, whether she or me. So I told her, I've been looking at the marriage vows of the Christians: 'To love, to hold and to cherish, in sickness and in health, for better or for worse, till death do us part.' "

I told her I would try and keep her company for as long as I could. She understood.

Simple words from a great man but heartfelt by the masses. The love from MM Lee for his wife is so great that we could not only see it, but feel it right there in our hearts. Shame on people who try to perceive it in their shallow minds and not not have the guts to step forward into the light. They forgot that they wouldn't be here in the first place without MM Lee who brought about the success of Singapore.

In the past, people enter a marriage for love, joy and carried the marriage for life. Old fashioned love- people fall in love, stay in love.

How did marriage become so fragile that it could break at the slightest hint of trouble? People play with fire, thinking that they could keep the flame burning bright so long nobody discovers. In the end, the children are paying the price for the hastiness of adults who just give up and walk away from the biggest commitments they have ever made.

If only we relook at roles of the husband and wife and remember the love that brought us together..
