Policing the Past and Future

I so do not have anything to update, nor any interesting topics to talk about.

Anyway a few days back i decided to reconfigure my old NPCC uniform. Meaning to say, putting back all the buttons and badges to the way it was, and not surprisingly, it wasn't that hard to put together in spite of the long gap. Ages since i did that! I reckoned they had had their fair share of display and its finally time to keep it in the cupboard. Amazingly, i actually found my beret under my bed, still being 'seasoned' after all this time. So there it is up there, as good as new, the uniform Station Inspector Mohamed Hazwan once wore.

Immortalising the Old Blue Glory is one thing, but doing so made me thing about my future for a bit. I'd always maintained that joining the Police Force 'has always been one of my career options'. I did my research before, a minimum degree with second-upper honours would make me Assistant Superintendent Mohamed Hazwan with the starting salary of $3505. But i'm also into broadcast journalism on the other hand, which is why i'd wanted t o take Communications Studies at NTU, or at least minor in it.

Though i missed the Force as part of my NS experience (darn lucky you Shukri!), somehow i still have a feeling, I've yet to see the end of the Man in Blue. I guess only Time can tell. For now, all's green for me. With the cross of red of course. :)
