we stayed at a villa, that is very big and very well furnished. in addition to the villa we also have our own buggy.
alone in the bus. lailai and the rest were all there already. they reached the villa on friday.
the front porch of the resort. the main resort is called nirwana resort hotel. inside the resort got different sections. we stayed at indra maya villa.
the place we stayed at! lailai works at PSA, so he gets a staff discount for booking the villa. it is pretty affordable with the staff discount.
got 3 bedrooms. every bedroom has a toilet.
the bed that i slept on for the night. it is a sofa bed.
the very spacious toilet.
oh yah, i forgot to mention, the villa has a pool. :p
is not a pool shared by all the villas hor. each villa has its own pool! shiok right~ so we put hot tea, soft drinks, fruits and tidbits at the side of the pool, and then soak in the pool and nua-ing. this is life~ especially rewarding for me after finishing 3 weeks of reservist.
dinner at a zhi char restaurant:
the food here taste a bit more salty than our local zhi char. but it is still nice!
this is the buggy that i mentioned just now. my first time driving a buggy! very fun!
pictures of the beautiful resort:
got many things to do. got air gun, archery, water sports, massage, ktv, jacuzzi, etc etc... those typical stuff that you can find at batam.
but just to warn you, the things there are not cheap. one cup noodle cost 4 sing dollars! wassup...
i din bathe for 3 days 3 nights. i shitted on the second day, and i shitted twice. i got lots of mosquito bites, and foot rot. i ate cup noodles for dinner on the first day, and the rest of the days i survived on combat rations and fruit bars. how memorable.
and i am going to bintan later! haha.
i haven set finish the prelim paper for pure chem. and i have to submit for vetting on monday. si bei stressed. :p
but nevertheless i am still glad to have finished this reservist. :)
two weeks of reservist had passed. now is the final week, which is a 4 days 3 nights outfield. super sian and super stressed, because of my responsibility as a CSM. if i cannot re-sup my scouts, pioneer and mortar platoon i feel very very guilty, and i will be 千古罪人。
anyway right there are many complaints going on in facebook that singapore is overpopulated with "foreign talent". and i myself experienced that, in our sg army.
i was at the cookhouse, and i overheard two people conversing in the very authentic PRC chinese slang, and i turned my head and i got a total shock when i saw the two of them in the army uniform.
and this is a more funny incident, experienced by my army friend.
the incident happened in a 5 tonner (a very big lorry).
indian warrant officer: driver left!
(chinese driver still driving straight)
indian warrant officer: knn driver right!!!
(chinese driver still driving straight)
indian warrant officer: n* b** ch** b** you PRC ah??!!
brought some of my students to junyuan pri sch to perform for tampines west national day dinner. we re-use the item choreographed by xue hong. from the original 29 performers become 16 performers, because some couldnt make it, some got dunno wat reason, some fasting, etc etc. but on the bright side, the stage was actually quite small, so having 16 of them is actually just nice. but i must still thank my 16 kids for coming down to perform, esp for the muslim students, who are now fasting.
the students wearing red are performing rhythm n beats. something like STOMP. using drumsticks and pails and rubbish bins to make percussion music.
my two colleagues! coincidentally we wore the colors of the sg flag. hahahaha. they stand and i kneel to hear the lion roar.
at exactly 717 pm, the muslims can break fast. so when they break fast they must listen to some islam music and they must chant some prayers, and the islam music is broadcasted from a radio station. a new piece of cultural knowledge that i had learnt, after 27 years in sg. well at least it is better late than never.
using ipad to find the online radio station to play the music. wonders of technology.
prepare to drink.
DRINK!!!
wah seh need to be so 夸张 a not?
EAT!!!
AND PERFORM!!! why got laser being shone on my student??!! tsk tsk.
batman was at the national day dinner too. sitting at the vip table right in the centre and in front some more. and he kept smiling throughout their performance and moved his body according to the beat of the music. haha.
but majority of the audience were too focused on the food. sadness.
everybody evacuated to the assembly area. checking of strength to make sure there's no one missing.
at the ops centre, writing down the casualty list:
and here comes the reporters...
the boss must handle the questions very tactfully and give clear answers, such that the reporters dun misquote him.
anyway, this is just an emergency exercise. but all of us reacted as if it really happened. thumbs up to our professionalism! :)
behind the scenes:
making the fire.
the talented actress and actors.
upon conclusion of the exercise, we had a debrief. my role is the warden, which is to go around with my team members to comb all the classrooms in the sch, making sure there are no casualties in the classroom, or nobody hiding inside the classroom because they too traumatised. i found two "missing students" in the computer lab when i doing patrolling. hahaha. they super fortunate can hide inside air con room. when i found them they told me:"aiyah cher, why you find us so fast! let us stay here longer leh~"
