SPF Interview
Having my SPF interview yesterday morning and it was a long day before I could have my 1st meal for the day. There's a story behind it but I will explain later.
Waking up at 7am, I had to get myself ready, wearing my formal attire and head to Outram Park; the Police Catonment Complex; to have my interview to become a future Police Officer. When I reached the lobby of the building, the sight of the number of people was more than I've thought. I assumed that there were only a few candidates for today's interview. Not to forget, one of the candidates was Chi Yong. What a coincidence! Yet when I pat him on the shoulder, he looked at me, and the first words from his mouth was.....
"Kan Na Sai.... (Shit...)"
=.=" What the hell... What a remark he gave.
We got our passes shortly and we went to a room to have our first test of the day. To test our mental ability, many questions such as patterns, assumptions and personal quizzes were attempted. I was able to clear most of the questions but as the questions got more, it gets harder and harder.
Once the test was done, Chi Yong and I just took the lift, which lead us to another area for the 2nd test. Now this was the interesting part, which we initially should go for our lunch after the first test but we were like blur enough to enter the room with an empty stomach. Although in the end, Chi Yong had to leave first as he was not eligible for the selection due to his commitments with studies, I was the only one remained, to keep myself from feeling bored and not hungry.
After filling many segments on the various forms given to us, finally it was my turn to head for the second test of the day; body check. They were checking if any parts of your body is deformed and any tatoos are shown on your body. After all these checkings, the officer also asked us to march, trying to see if our coordination is in good form or not. At least I remembered how to much well but the problem was, I only raise one of my hands instead of two, probably caused by my familiarity to march with my Tuba with me.
The third test, as well as the last test of the day, was an interview with some of the officers. They asked various questions such as describing yourself, your family and what is your reason to become a Police Officer. As usual, I tried to make it like a casual talk with enough confidence in me. Slowly, other questions such as what are the tasks does Police Officers do and how do I fare for my fitness came from the officers mouths. Alright, I tried to crap abit but manage to brush through the questions with the answers that are truthful from my heart.
In the end, I left the building and managed to had my BREAKFAST in the afternoon, around 3.30pm. What the... Never mind. I guess if I am being posted as a Police Officer, such things would also occur, where food is not a priority unless you had solved the cases.
The results wont be out soon but I do hope I could be offered with a position as a Police Officer. Anyway, there's the Liverpool vs. Singapore match but I guess, I wont be attending. I wish to get 2 tickets to watch the match with others but seemed that that person had a ticket already. Watching alone (even though Eugene is watching with his girlfriend), I think its better for me to put this match aside for that day.
Liverpool match... Perhaps, other time... =]
