Déjà vu

well, i cant give any more excuses for not updating my blog. regularly, so i am not even gonna try. Anyway Wednesday i got reminded of my very first guard duty.

Wednesday had to deliver the equipments to ITI(for those whom dont know, i am working temp at CUBIC/OSCMAR). The delivery took longer then expected, so by the time i we returned to PLC it was ard 7plus 8pm. Being a temp staff i had to change pass before entering the camp. i went to the pass office and filled up the required form, but the guard duty personnel (whom are doing guard duty for the first time) didnt want to give me a pass. the frist person asked >


Guard-duty personnel : why do u want to go in?

me: I am from cubic defence. our main office/store is in PLC

Guard-duty personnel : but its after hours already, i cant let u in.

me: i need to go to the office to take my things and go home.

Guard-duty personnel : called another guard duty personnel to attend to me

Guard-duty personnel2 : why u want to go in ah?

me: i am from cubic defence, i had to deliver some stuffs to ITI, now i am coming back to the main office which is located in the camp. i want to go home, so i need to go take my things.

(by now the driver whom was waiting for me to change pass joined me at the pass office cos he was wondering wat took me so long)

Guard-duty personnel2 : but i cant let u in.

me: can i speak to a RP please.

RP: huh?

(an Mp interjects)

MP: oh.. u from the company inside one ah..?

me: yah..

Mp: u dont need to change pass, ur driver can escort u in.

me: ( perplexed ) you sure.

MP: yah


after entering camp, we did some washing up, then we were all ready to leave camp...

but guess wat.. the gate IC didnt want to let me out because i dont have a camp pass.. hahaha..
i wasnt mad, it was hilarious to me. i asked him whether it was his first duty, he said yes.... i asked him to talk to the MP inside... but in the end i went to the guard room to talk to the MP myself...

even though the MP passed the msg to the let me pass, the msg didnt get passed thru to the gate ic. haha.. i had to wait a while.

this incident reminded me of my first guard duty. i was the gate IC and i didnt let an officer in the camp after hours and it wasnt a pleasant experience cos the officer was pissed at me.

since that time, i never did gate IC.. haha.. always chose to do prowling with a fren so that can avoid unnecessary interactions with outsiders. haha
