Pulau Tekong

Well well, i shouldnt talk about that sucky presentation that I had at the start of school..
Let’s fast forward all the way to our excursion to BMTC at Pulau Tekong.. We practically survived on one sandwich for the whole of the day since we didnt have that much time to have lunch.. Arrived at the Ferry terminal and was greeted with sights of recruits eating as though they were “stocking up for winter”.. hahaz.. it looks like its gonna be tough inside..

The moment I boarded the fast-craft, I could feel my sea-sickness kicking in… And luckily, the trip lasted for only 10 mins.. While I set foot on land, I thought i saw the island opposite of Tekong moving up and down , lolx.. On this excursion, I can really consider it as an eye-opener for me.. The whole island looked way better than what I had imagined.. It looked more like a resort rather than a training ground.. We got to see what were some of the equipments that the recruits would be given when they enlist, we also got to see the bunks, with the 12-INCH mattress, which our guide kept emphasising on the “12 Inch”.. hahaz.. We got to tour the training grounds too, got to see their “shooting range”, and we had a go at “shooting”.. We also got to see a demostration on the Obstacle Course.. Last station of the tour would be the food rations, which we were waiting for the whole time since we were kinda hungry, and in the end, we got to try one teaspoon of the rations.. wahahaha… But sadly though, the rations this time round werent that yummy as the ones i had eaten many years back.. *Sadd-ed*.. That marks the end of the Tekong Tour, and as expected, I got that queasy feeling in me once again while on the fast-craft back to our lovely island, Singapore.. ^-^

Headed down to J8 for breakfast cum lunch cum dinner… Ate at pizza hut, but we somewhat got cheated by the word “xxx Meal at $6.90″… The portion was really small, no wonder it only cost $6.90.. lolx.. in the end, we headed down to basement for desserts and we were finally full.. Played at arcade for a little while before heading home…

No pics for today since no cameras were allowed on Tekong.. So, just try to imagine it in your head.. hahaz.. All you have to know is that Tekong isnt really bad as what we’ve heard..

And now, time to be stress once again.. sigh.. Brenda, Hwaiting!!~~ You can do it!!~~

National Museum of Singapore

HELLO!!~~~ It’s time for a looong post… Be very prepared.. I really love this 2 pics… hahaz.. Okie, the long post is gonna start very soon.. Ready??!! Sit back, scroll and enjoy.. ^^

We had another National Excursion (NE) today.. We went to the National Museum of Singapore today.. And today, we brought along some “mini picnic”.. hahaz..

Excursion to SDC & Army Museum

Get ready for the journey to discovery centre!!~~

The skies were kinda gloomy today but it didnt rain.. The journey from school to Discovery Centre took us about 30mins.. p.s i was sitting next to a hearing-problem guy.. I’m serious, there’s defintely something wrong with this guy’s hearing.. Not sure if its in a bad way or the other?? His iPod was on full blast till I could even hear the lyrics to the song very very clearly, and yet, he still can hear me talking to me.. *faints* ;p

After the “long” journey, we reached Discovery Centre.. And I can say that it hasn’t really changed the last time I had been there, which was 10 years ago?? Upon arrival, I learnt that we would be going to the Army Museum too.. HOORAY!!~ I’ve always wanted to go there.. Throughout the Discovery Centre tour, i was just looking forward to the Army Museum Tour instead.. lolx..

Started off the tour, and the guide talked about the different periods of times where Singapore grew from just a small island into a big city now.. We also watched a video on the Merlion.. It was a rather funny video which gave us insights on Singapore and how Singaporeans are like..

Arrived at a gallery where we get to have a feel of being a news-reporter.. And poor Terry got sabo-ed by us.. Thus, he became a news-reporter for a few minutes and just in case you guys havent notice, the news is in black and white.. p.s this the guy who sat next to me in the bus.. lol.. ^^

Weee!!~~ The tour for the discovery centre ended and we’re finally off to my most favourite part of today’s excursion… And that is the SAFTI Bus tour and the Army Museum.. No pics for the SAFTI Bus tour as we weren’t allowed to take pics, if not, we might get “shot” when caught.. lolx.. jkjk.. Found many places of SAFTI familiar, since I have been there once when Kor was training in there.. and only today did I realise that SAFTI is rather big…

The tour at the Army Museum has offically started!!~~ *excited* We first walked through a gallery where we got to find out more on how our army was involved in helping out inseveral incidents such as riots that had happened in the bus.. Just in case if you were wondering whether I had forgotten to rotate the 1st 2 pictures, they are in the correct position.. Its actually an overturned bus which deciphers a bus riot that happened in the past..

And in this gallery, we also got to see the different periods that our army went through like what they ate, what they wore and so on.. We also got to see how the soldier’s bunks were like in the past.. But I think their bunks now are better.. Soldiers these days are being treated better then the past..

Got to watch a 4D show.. The storyline was about soldiers protecting our country.. We got to “walk through” with them when they were fighting the enemies.. When the helicopter flew, the strong gusting wind could be felt in the theater.. When shots were fired, gun fire could be seen.. When chasing enemies on sea, water could be felt splashing due to the waves.. When explosions occured, smoke could be smelt and felt.. The whole experience was awesome!!~~ After the 4D show, I got to try my hands at firing/shooting enemies.. And oh boy, I’m quite good in it?? hahaz..

Soon, it was time to leave.. Everything was soo fast.. I havent enjoyed enough.. Thus, I’ll definitely be going back again.. And I’m sure there’s someone who’s more than willing to accompany me.. lolx..

Journey back to school seems to take a longer time, perhaps it was because of peak hour.. The number of people in the bus also became smaller as many went back by themselves, and the bus became extremely quiet.. Think everyone was tired… Slept during the journey back.. Enjoyed myself today.. Had great company throughout the excursion.. Loved it.. Another excursion next week, this time we’ll be going to the National Museum..
