e' sporean blogs: Yummy-licious Question II

ZuLdaniaL Listening to: Chris Brown - Run It

a recent dinner wit fee got us talking bout how i ended up chosing the path of joining the force...

"makdi.. banyak siak anjing!!!"

a common sentence that most 'budak taik' would say whenever they see officers around... i wouldnt deny... i used to be one of them.. sadly to say... but dat was back then.. how would i know dat i ended up being one in the end...

i didnt see myself being an officer during those times.. i figured out that i would be on a desk bound job.. an 8-5... doing some shit work on the computer... an executive maybe...

but things took a turn during my poly days attachment... i was stuck on a desk bound job for freaking 6 months... and seriously... i couldnt take it!

i couldnt live waking up early to go to work on every weekday... ive not been doing that since polytechnic days.. morning lectures?? argh.. forget it! i wouldnt be awake even if i attend..

and being infront of the computer doing my work for the entire work tour was dreadful... my brains was gonna break lose.. my eyes are failing me... and the freaking aircon is just too much for me to take...

halfway through the attachment.. i finally realised [thank god ]... that this was not the career prospect for me.. i just couldnt take everything in the office.. everything seemed all so wrong...

during that time.. i was working part time as well.. in the FnB line.. i enjoyed everything bout it even though it could be strenous running ard the restaurant.. serving people like they are the king.. and me? the maid...

i didnt see things in that way.. i enjoyed the life i had in the FnB just because i could meet different people everyday...

i get to see how 'fucked tub' rich people can be.. and how some can be very humble..

i was exposed to how the rich wanna-be's acted like they are some big shot when they know no shit!...

some are fabulously friendly that i made their time in the restaurant worthwhile...

basically, i love meeting people...

things took a change then.. i knew i needed a career where i get to meet members of the public often.. and not some silly computer... [at this point.. no offence to desk bound staffs, i am referring to myself ]

later, i got to see how the fire fighter fought a case of fire near my home.. wat they did captured my attention.. helping the members of public in distress... furthermore, it was a dream when i was still a small kid... i guess i like the adrenaline that runs when u attend to such fire cases...

lets just skip all those juicy parts.. but i signed myself up to being a fire fighter...

sadly, i blew during the interview.. i guess i was too tired that day itself juggling time that i became an attitudal candidate...

it didnt end there.. i knew i had to do something.. i went thru the next option.. being a police officer..

its a government job.. stability comes with it.. i get to meet different people everyday of my life.. i get to help people in danger.. so why not?

to my surprise.. i made it this time round.. and here i am..

after years of being in the force.. of cause.. i began to realise that police work is not at all like those shown in the movies.. its not everyday out to fight crime.. we also got our paper work to be done of coz.. and it just keeps piling up everytime..

although my life is at stake everyday im out there.. i am happy being what i am..

the once in a while desk bound job that i got to do in the force wasnt dat bad after all...at least i still get to meet different people and i am able to render my assistance...

at the end of it.. its the job satisfaction... if I am happy doing what I am doing.. i have no regrets...

to end of... something that most might probably forget...

...you are sleeping soundly tonight.. because im out there, doing my part to ensure your safety....
