2008春节·大年初一

大年初一没干什么,傍晚十分又和妈妈去了一趟小莉阿姨家,吃了饭后在那里上网,通过免费的网络电话软件和刘骏宇摆了约半个小时的龙门阵。

下午,阳光明媚,我登上本座组屋11楼,拍摄了下面的一组鸟瞰图:

新加坡华人民间一般相信,如果看到四脚蛇,就代表要发财了。今天傍晚,我和妈妈前往小莉阿姨家途中,在本座组屋楼下就看到了一只四脚蛇,呵呵。

凌晨一点了,我睡觉去了。今天是大年初二,我要和妈妈去看电影。

From now onwards, I will be posting reflections, photos (all taken by myself) and journals on my trip to Chongqing in November 2007. Stay tuned!

Visit to Basic Military Training Centre, Singapore

It is compulsory for all Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents to enlist for National Service upon reaching the age of 18. The Ministry of Defence invited my mum and I, together with many other Permanent Residents, to visit the Basic Military Training Centre yesterday. The BMTC is located on Pulau Tekong (Tekong Island), and is reachable in 15 minutes by ferry from the mainland Singapore.

At 8am my mum and I arrived at Expo MRT and registered with the coordinators. Then we boarded the bus which took us to the SAF Ferry Terminal, where we had some light refreshments before taking a ferry to reach Pulau Tekong. Every visitor was given a goody bag to take home. In both ferry terminals, I could see many slogans like “BMT – where boys become men” and “Every soldier a leader”.

The programmes include guided tour to bunks, medical facilities, Individual Marksmanship Trainer (IMT), talks by Minister for Defence and commanders, sharing session by two PR NSFs (one from Malaysia and one from Hong Kong), lunch at the canteen, etc.. I am very happy that when we were given chance to try out the IMT, I shot two magazines and i passed both rounds of shooting. Yay!

I found the training facilities on Pulau Tekong quite okay, and the environment is clean. What I found very interesting is that, NS men are not only given daily food rations, but are also given snacks, fast-food noodles and drinks like Ribena, Maggi Mee, Oreo and chrysanthemum tea to enjoy.

During the visit, we were assured many times that NS training will be safe and were told that the welfare of NS men has improved drastically over the years. I also saw my schoolmate, Lu Xiao Heng, during the visit. Both of us will be enlisting in 3 years’ time. Just one day before the visit, on 25 January, my friend Simon Tan was enlisted, but I didn’t see him at Pulau Tekong.

After visiting the BMTC, I am now more confident that I will be able to cope with NS. Now, enjoy the photos I took. =)
