When I was in Sec One my school sent some of us on a trip called the Battlefield Study Tour, because we were covering the Japanese Occupation. That was a really good trip to go on - they brought us to the Battle Box at Fort Canning, and they brought us to this other place (can't remember if it's the same) where they were showing us how the soldiers used it as a lookout to fend off incoming troops. There was this really narrow staircase, narrow and steep, and climbing it was really scary. And the guide told us that soldiers didn't just have to climb it, they had to RUN up the stairs... awful thought. Anyway that was one of the cool things. They also took us to Changi Hospital and the Kranji War Memorial. War is sad. The story part of war - who fought whom, for what stupid reason, where they cocked up in their strategies, etc - is fascinating in itself. But remembering that people died because of other people's stupidity/pride/ambition, that's really sad.

If you want to see the other pictures that I've got from this session you can look here and here. Unfortunately I haven't been able to upload the pictures that Joshua took with his phone, so you can check back in a couple of days and I should have them up by then.

See you tomorrow for the cross-country! People who are intending to PONTENG (translation? :P), be warned I will not accept nonsense like "I had fever at 6:52am which went away at 6:58am but I decided to stay at home and rest. And not get an MC". Even if I accepted it other people will still hunt you down so you might as well come and have fun. :)
