.hello
Yesterday was one fun day haha.
Excused from lessons from 11.35pm onwards cos i volunteered to go on a visit to SAF Officer Cadet School..got to skip a chem lecture haha..(but hey my main reason wasnt to skip lessons k..wanted to learn more abt it)
The requirement was minimum 3 per class, no max. Turn out my class most enthu..8 of us going..some classes only 1 guy tio sabo go..
Buses took us to SAFTI MI at jurong there, beside discovery centre...Halfway the journey it rained like mad..we scared the visit will be cancelled becos of the rain..
First thing i noted when we reached there is tt the place is damn big..the buildings were all spread out,then look abit deserted...haha..
BEsides us, there were oso CJ, NJ and (white top, dark blue pants skirts, wear tie one, is SAJC or ACJC?) pple there...
Split up into grps, then led by officer cadets there around..after a brief intro by this officer cadet assigned to my grp, we first went up to a hall which they called gymnasium...some pple there demostrated some forms of fighting la..like locking pples' arms and neutralising them.... then saw their rock wall as well..
Luckily rain stopped by now...can continue walk ard.
One thing special abt this place is tt they built the place according to the contours, instead of levelling the whole ground then build...so could see the place will generally slope upwards or downwards, and the buildings and staircase etc are arched.
After tt went to the parade square..wah very very big leh...the tiles used oso special one, reflects light so not vv hot when they do exercise there...this parade square oso used during their comissional ceremonies..from the square we could see the exxonmobil chinmey on jurong island spewing bright orange flames..
There is this tunnel which leads from the parade square to the dining hall..which they call 'birth canal' (why they called it tt, its bcos the officer cadet course takes 9 months)..they only walk through it after they complete their course, so we got a rare chance to see it..
Oso climbed up a tall tall tower there..the staircase has 265 steps(cos the course is 265 steps long)..again a special one..officers only allowed to go up when they complete their officer course..and they have to use the stairs...when we went we used the lift(reserved for big shots only)..
THe scenery up at the tower vv nice la! Can see the entire jurong estate, NTU, their live firing area, JB etc...by right can even see changi airport tower de..but got mist lingering ard so cant see...sad thing i dun haf camera cannot take pics..(we were allowed to)
Oso went to their bunks to see....hey its 2 person to 1 room leh...like hostel liddat..its so much better than pulau tekong barracks(12 to 1 big room)..then every room got one com leh..the guy say by the time we go in, they should haf internet access liaox(not many coms there haf internet now..scared info leak mah)
Best part is when they show us some of their guns..like the m16, m203 and SAR21..they let us try shooting la..but i didnt go..
Oso got night vision googles, anti tank guns, showed us their field pack, uniform etc..
Tour came to an end at 5 plus...all of us went to the carpark to wait for buses...then some vj pple went to cheer vj cheer -.-''
THe whole place vv good leh...i want to go there next time haha.
The guy told us abt army life until like its vv relaxing leh...he say go NS is like chalet liddat...esp after the dunking accident they put safety as priority..wonder how true issit..
My day did not end there...at night the eng drama pple got performance in PT..kena dragged by fren there.
The performance was vv nice..was laughing my heart out...but the second play hor...abit r(a) la..it was a play abt transsexual la..then one actor act as girl la..then wear skirt until so low can see the ahem crack haha.
And of cos the not so clean scripts..haha..but overall the show rox..i enjoyed it..
THe performance started late, so ended late...reached home at abt midnight....too tired liaox i fell aslp on the sofa..
Todae as usual programming...hot day.
Wah now hor..blogs no longer so simple le leh....blog wrong thing can land u in jail leh...hmm..must watch wat i type next time..
