Went to the army open house today cos they invited me though they didn't specify why. But I thought it would be an experience, to learn more about the erm, well, things that I'm going to go through. So of course it was pretty sian to think I was alone, but found someone I knew from Temasek Seminar.
Took a chartered bus over to Pasir Laba camp from Jurong East MRT. I wonder what's wrong with Jurong area. Twice I've been there, twice the bus uncle got lost. Well never mind. Then some captain brought the few of us around the place. Saw many weapons and stuff. The funny thing was the dog was supposed to run through an obstacle course and back, and the last one was a hoop. After once, they set the hoop on fire. So ok, the dog managed to jump through. But refused to the second time. Pretty funny. Run towards the hoop then siam away. 3 times. And urban operation, a cool show on how they invade an invaded building filled with invaders. 2 tanks came out of no where and 'fired' like nobody's business. Trigger-happy kids. Fake explosives went off around the building. Then a helicopter lowered and some dudes went down the ropes into a building. Then from both sides again, smoke grenades were thrown. And I tell you the smoke is alot. Really. Well then they sneaked in and caught them. Yep another funny thing. A kid was skipping happily beside his father and held his hand saying 'Daddy hold hands!' Then the father took his hand away and said 'Don't want. Hold hand so sissy.' Then the kid just skipped happily away. Not being mean, but I couldn't help but laugh. Yep that's it. Here are some pictures.
