Doing the right things

I am super pissed off today. I quarreled with someone over something that I had done right and to show people that rules are there to be followed and not to be taken lightly. So the story is during one briefing by my SO, he mentioned about the late taking over of duties and it is not right and the grace period he gave and allowed was 5 minutes. On Monday, the usual guy who always fails to wake up on time was late and took over from me 15 minutes after the stated time, and mind you this is not the first time. Well, I decided that someone got to do something before it is taken as the norm, so I inform my SO about the matter and in the end he sign extra for it. This morning, he confronted me in the pass office and asked what do I want for doing this to him and I told him that well you got to pay the consequences for being late and reminded him that this was not his first time and the worse he has done is take over me late by 30 minutes, not to mention the occasion smoking during duties, having a camera mobile phone, leaving camp when he is not supposed to and having duty unpaid cigarettes. I choose to ignore talking to him and swoop to his childishness and he was also speechless when I asked him when was I ever late. We are regimental police and the ones who are supposed to uphold discipline in camp how can we tell people to keep to rules when we ourselves break them and do not even have the self discipline. Well in this case, punishment is needed for some people to open their eyes and stop taking things for granted. Anyway I am not so bothered by this issue now since it is over and I believe in doing the right things anyway.
Today we had a fire awareness workshop by Master Goh and we learn about the different fire extinguishers, watch a program by the scdf and had hands on experience in using the fire extinguishers. It was fun and at the end, the whole place was smoky cause of the dry powder.
Lately, I have been troubled by some stuff and having been thinking real hard about it and well I think I am close to sorting stuff out. I have been indecisive many times in my life which left me in regret and this time, I shall not have any regrets anymore.
