Yo 2 the trickle whom r reading these blog!
2day we had no lssons.Instead we went on a battlesites trail with an old boy who used to b a colonel in the SAF as our tour guide.1st of all,we went down 2 Kent RIdge & walked 2 Reflections @ Bukit Chandu 2 learn about the Battle of pt. 226(another name 4 the Battle of Pasir Panjang but I think pt. 226 is cooler).The old soldier told us about the weapons & how they were loaded & fired ,side effects, uses,projectiles blah blah blah...etc.etc.etc...Ad Infinitium.
After that, we went in2 a theatre 2 listen 2 sounds of battle where the sounds of pt.226 were recreated & put in2 some audio show with a few videos. K k! I admit i was a little scared as i expected 2 b deafened,horrified and appalled.Actually,it was alright but the guy who was speaking the part of the Japanese potrayed him as the classic villain with the infamous "muhahaha " & I keep thinking:Y can't the directors come up with sthing more original.
l8r, we went 2 see the Labrador Secret Tunnels.it was a totalk killjoy as we onli went down 1 portion & it was dark and vision near zero save our h/ps.My frien dropped his in2 the grilled coverlet & we almost got lost in the darkness.
We then proceeded 2 the sea after passing through gun positions(but with very few actual guns) and getting facts from the soldierl.There, we looked @ machine gun posts and were allowed 2 roam about 4 just 10 miserable minutes.I toured around the "Long Ya Men" area and managed 2 catch a glimpse of Megtastar Aries being towed in2 habour by a tugboat.
There the visit ended & we went back 2 school and had an hour's recess.
I hope things willl get more interesting next time, though i certainly did learn a lot from this round.
Ora ET Labora.BB!!
