Les feux et les sirènes

Assalamualaikum,

I decided to write this post, and hopefully revive my blog again because I have reached another key milestone in my life. In two days, it will be my ORD. Operationally Ready Date. This means I have completed two years of National Service to my country. I have many thoughts and reflections that can be made on the past two years of my life. I served at Alexandra Fire Station with the EMS for the past year and 8 months (roughly).

I did many things that I never thought I ever had to do. I've seen things I've never seen before. I've met people I never thought I'd meet. I encountered situations that required me to be at my best. Life or death situations.

I will miss the adrenaline, the excitement, the chaos of going for road accidents, rescue cases, or even codes. I will miss arriving on scene and just having my jaw drop upon seeing something incredibly peculiar or a situation I've never encountered.

I will miss the lights and sirens.
