SPOM
Back To School Days
It already had been around a month plus i didnt update my blog already. I normally will do a draft on note pad before posting it up. For the month October should be a happy day. But i dont know why, this year October is so bad for me. Haiz
Lets get to 3rd October 2005 first, i was told to get to SPOM at around 8.15am or latest by 8.30am. You must be wondering what is SPOM. SPOM is the short form of Senior Police Officer Mess. Keke i so fast promoted to a Senior Police Officer already? Come on i am serving my ns as a CD. How will i suddenly become a Senior Police Officer :p.
At first i dont really know what is the main purpose of booking and going there. A few weeks ago, Janice told me to look up for a room. But didnt managed to get one. So she came up with the idea to book SPOM - Dinning Hall. Alot of question mark (????) pop out inside my head when she mention dinning hall.
But today i finally know what is the purpose of the dinning hall for. A guest ( Steve Morris ) was invited to discuss about the whole day event for the MA on Oct 12th. I reach there pretty early, later then 8.15 but earlier then 8.30. I would have reach pretty much earlier, because i reached the bus stop at around 8am. I should have reach SPOM before 8.10am. Thanks to the long way up to SPOM.
It was a super long way up from the bus stop. I need to walk up a long long slope. Walk and walk and walk. Finally around 15 - 20 min of walk, i finally get to see the car park. I was told after seeing the carpark, then i will see a tennis court. Next to the tennis court i will see the SPOM mansion. After reaching there, i try to get myself to the dinning hall.
I got myself into a room with a dinning table. Looking around in the room, i saw photos and many other things (eg. sword, singapore flag and police flag). At first i thought i have found the place, so i put down my bag on one of the chair. Then i start walking and looking around at level 2. Suddenly i recalled that Janice did told me before that SPOM dinning hall is quite big. So i think i should have get to the wrong room. How come they book such a small room for?
Then i start looking around for signs, hope there will be some on the wall or outside the Dinning Hall. To my luck i found the real Dinnning Hall. Wao it is really very big, can be a ball room for wedding ceremony. Then i walk around in the room, then i call up the guy who is in charge of my booking. Awhile later he get to me, then i start asking him. How do i get the projector, music system, air con and light working.
Yawnz talk so much about the tinny little things that i did. While i was doing this little part and puzzle. One by one the Facilators for the MA arrives. They was told that the talk will be starting at 9am. Moments later Steve reached, some of then still havnt get here yet. So he start off with a program he created, the programe is used to see ur heart beat and mind beat. The purpose of that is to see how stress or relax a person was. Is quite fun, he call up one of the facilator to give it a try. After cliping the clip up, he start instructing her to think about somethings and sharing thing about herself. Anything which he ask her to think or share. We can see the graph going up and down.
Awhile later, almost all of the facilator turn up. Then he start to discuss about the layout for the MA. Example the amount of time spent on each activity for the MA. (Eg. what time they; start presenting, have break, small discussion, lunch, a little game for relaxing) Wondering how come i know so much on what they discussing about? Because i am BACK TO SCHOOL DAYS. I was told to sit around and listen to their discussion. Yawnz.
I would have fallen asleep during the whole session. Lucky i was told to arrange tea breaks and lunch for the whole thing, a few weeks ago. Thanks to me, they and my stomach have our wonderfull break and lunch in between. The food is good, or i think i too long never eat nice food. Always consume biscuits or skip lunch. Because within two weeks i had finish my NS pay :p power right. That will leave me to struggle for 2 weeks to take bread or biscuits.
But from what i heard from the Steve, he's really does pretty well. I learnt a few things while they were discussing :p Keke, not i dont want to share what i learnt. Is because they are lock up some where inside my body. I still havnt figure out where i lock them at :p
So let me conclude what happen today, I walk up a stupid long slope up to SPOM. Then i walk to the wrong room, lucky no one saw it :p I feel like i am back in school listening to teacher talking. The food is nice :) I think i will stop here. And continue at the next topic.
