Been over a year since I last posted an entry here. Thought I'd just blog today. Had lunch with a relatively new DG mate at United Sq who works nearby to pass him a Milan Police magnet I bought for him. Glad to have finally handed it to the rightful owner after a month of purchase of that magnet in a Milanese museum. He's young. 25. Same age as my baby cousin niuniu. A police overseas scholar. Will be the commanding officer of Woodlands Police Center from next week. No longer nearby. No more convenient lunch together. First and probably last excuse to meet up at United Sq today. He's a tall, friendly introvert. Nice lunch we had. I like him. (:
I'm thinking at 25, commanding a police center, this chap is given quite a lot of authority at a rather young age. In charge of 120-130men now, I guess if he stays on till his bond ends in another 3 years' time, he would have risen in ranks and stature even more by then. I wonder if all that means much to him. I have a feeling that he'll probably stay on and carve out a civil service career somehow. Meanwhile, he'll find other pursuits on the sideline to keep himself entertained. Otherwise, he'll be restless. Mark my words.
