NE tour on Friday
About thirty of us NSFs from 23SA went for our half-annual (?) National Education trip, on a Friday morning.
This time, it was revisit the war memorials and history of mainly two places: Labrador Battery site (kinda related to artillery), and Pasir Panjang battle site. I was actually rather excited to go on the outing, not because it was a half-day for us, but it was those rare times I get to go on a guided tour to places in Singapore I won't likely be bothered to visit on my own.
Oh, and I didn't have to pay for anything... except for that fried rice I ordered midway for S$3. =(
I had no camera in my possession, so no luck with photos on my side. There were photos taken by the escorting 2LT in the group, but those photos are a little "hard" for me to access.
Anyway, I won't go into my experience during the trip - though all I would like to say that it was quite the interesting tour. Ahh, a pity it ended so quickly.
Though, what really stood out for me was this:
That was one of the many heritage tablet thingie (or whatever they call it) situated around the island. It marks the location of existing historical sites. Very interesting - reminds me of some relic you go searching around in a sidequest for a role-playing video game. =P
Speaking of rpgs, here is something to rock the socks out of Persona 3 fans!!
