WOOT! This week is the week that I can say that everyone enjoyed and loved it to the fullest. Although we screwed up on Monday morning, (dorms not really clean and didn't fall in for breakfast on time) our stay in the HTA is definitely our reward for suffering under the wrath of CDA! =p

First step into HTA was indeed an eye-opener. It's so huge that they need a directory and signposts everywhere. A thought came by that I was standing on the ground of a new mini-university. I came across to one of a building there which had a uncanny architecture similar to one of the glass pyramid building as described in The Da Vinci Code. The architecture is definitely superb. It is spacious and fresh air everywhere. If I may, I can say that that place is dirt-free clean! lol

In the dorms, lockers are bigger, beds and pillows are thicker and toilets are cleaner. Their cafeteria is air conditioned and there's even a mini-arcade and an POSB ATM beside.

Some lectures were boring while some was interesting (but partly also because of the way the lecturers give their presentation). The best thing was that we need to wake up at around 6am and fall in at 6 30am for flag raising ceremony.(it's good cause we had to wake up at around 5 15am back at CDA) =(

On top of that, we did not have any morning PT at all! The food there was damn nice! Much better than Stamford; and that's a unanimous opinion. The food they serve have variety and we did not have to eat on trays akin to those used by prisoners; we eat with normal hard plastic plates and cup with utensils sterile clean. (As many of us know that the trays back at CDA is definitely lack of audits as food is still visible although they've clean it...yucks)

At around 10am plus, we were given tea break. You may think that it's just an ordinary break where we just visit the toilet and drink from the water cooler and get back for more lectures, but we were really given snacks and hot coffee( or COFY as what they had written on the canister)/tea. Cool man! =p

How I envy the police NSF. haha (anyway, saw my long lost & found primary school friend martin as a police NSF there...heard that terrence leong is over there as well~)

Anyhow, I was in the orange group and we named ourselves Forza (Go in Italian); and I was selected to be the group cheerleader. lol Everyone was quite surprised! Our IC is damn welfare. Like try to let us be the first group to have breakfast etc.

Had a few activities among groups like familiarisation run and tug-of-war. It was fun miggling together as a group and participating in such activities. Well, most of us (SCDF people) were the ones who brought up the atmosphere. =)

We have another 3 days 2 nights over there before we are going back to the dreadful CDA. sigh... ... Whatever it is, must enjoy the rest of my stay at HTA!! =p
