happy 42nd national day!!
Our station's OC, in my opinion, is one of the best OC I'd came across. He really thinks about his own men. Punishments given were acceptable. And yesterday, he even asked whether those who went for the recent Jalan Bukit Merah fire had any physical/emotional stress.
Yesterday noon I was woken up abruptly by the ringing of my mobile. PHYSICAL MOBILISATION!!! Why does it have to be on my off duty?!! And unlike the SAF, we SCDF personnels had to rush down within 30 minutes. No, your eyes were not tricked; it's a short 1/2 hour madrush to our station.
After signing in and waiting for another 30 minutes, we were told to leave. They said we could claim taxi fare if we took a taxi down. If only we were told before hand!!
Today was Singapore's 42nd years of independece. The concept of the parade and performances were fresh and unique compared to the previous years. The inclusion of water element, different musical instruments from each race, water-related performances, night parachuting and even a mini-fireworks on the acme of our skyscrapers. But I find that the 2 national songs could be made better but it was good nonetheless. I still prefer the good-old kindergarten and primary school day's national songs; with various languages and meaningful lyrics.
Students will be enjoying their holiday tomorrow while I work... ...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE! =)
