Police checks

Seems like i got fate with the law-enforcers for the last 2 days.

Yesterday. We (Viper, AF, ZX and me) went Yishun for some supper and kite flying session. At Mandai Road, there's a police road block.

I stopped at the road block, a policeman with a torch light shine into van through the rear windscreen. He was shining inside for a long time. Too long for my comfort.

Next signal for me was to park my vehicle along the road. First time i have been stopped at a road block.

Our IDs plus my driving licence been requested. And while they are checking thr their ops room, we went for a smoke. Had a chat with the police too.

After the police had done their checking, we were allowed to proceed on the way. Nothing else... No breathalyser test... Though i wanna know how is it like...

Today. 9 of us had gathered at the training shed, basically to talk cock, to fly kite... Police came.

"Are there 2 groups of ppl here?" he asked.

We stared at him.

"Do you all know each other?" He tried again...

"yes." Viper replied.

"What time will you all be staying?" was his next question.

"Soon." AF replied.

"You all have to go now. Got residents complaining." he commented.

So, we all started to pack up our kites, and as i was packing up, the police came up to me and asked if that kite is for a project. I told him it's not. We bought the kites and Viper commented that the kite runs on batteries and its very quiet.

The police then waited for us to totally clear the area before moving off.

That's the encounter.
