My Reservist

This whole week is my reservist and I am grateful that i have such a good break away from work. To be honest, I think it's really fun and i get to talk to the other guys from different age groups and again i am one of the youngest among the groups of ah peks. I got to know my platoon mates better and some of them really take good care of me and the first day was abit weird as i don't know most of them but it gets better and better once i start to blend in to those "uncles".

One thing which I realise that most of us (if not all) are very responsible and behave like real adults compare to those whom are full time active serviceman. They show great sense of urgency and everyone was happy and laughing throughout. We had our fitness test yesterday as well and it was a breeze compare to my last window and to my surprise some even did better than me in 2.4km running even if their age is after 30 years old. AMAZING!!!~ POWER SIA...

Before we went for our IPPT (which is in the afternoon), we went for our Education Tour which really bring the whole week to life. First, we went to a place call Reflection @ Bukit Changdu located at pepsy road near pasir panjang (just right beside my ex-company) and all along I don't know there is such a place around!!!. This place tell us what happened during the Japaneses occupation during 1942 and how fast they took over from the British in just 48 hours notwithstanding the strong resistant from our malay regiment (salute!!!) and how they live up to their name of loyal and integrity to our country. Next, we went to Mount Faber (where biee and I used to go last time) and have a good look at how and why the Japanese choose to attack us from Mount Faber first due to the strategic location of Mount Faber and it's nice to be back there again! and maybe it's time for me to go again?Lastly, we went to Labrador Park which is good as well before we head back to camp for our lunch.

It's a pity the program is only half-a-day long, -a bit rush for those who wants to know more about the history of Singapore and I can only it's really good for all of us which is useful and informative.

I really look forward to the overseas training next year May when we have our tsunami training, and next week I have to put my heads down and return to work le :(

Hope all is well in office.

I will come up with a list of my target price and purchase price soon also.
