AHM this morning, fucking woke up at 0245 to catch the last bus of NR3 to get to Clarke Quay. Did reach there at 0445 and met with the instructors. FYI, I didn't run, not even walked, I was there to take care of all the instructors' belongings while they run their 21-klick half marathon.
Then rushed to SDC for SMRT Family Day that my dad registered for. Wanted to watch/play the XD Theatre, but was fully redeemed. So, we headed off to the shooting gallery and shot 15 rounds each with a SAR 21 simulators. It felt like arcade with a little recoil. The simulator for M16 that I tried during Sec 1 in NCC, the recoil was real enough, but still not as real as live firing. Then took a walk at the friendship museum, nothing much, or should say, too much to see. We were on tight schedule so I didn't spend time slowing down my pace and read the texts on the walls.
Also, the Army Museum, the best museum I had ever, ever, visited. No only I learnt the past of national service some 40 years ago, I also get a close-to real life experience in a war zone environment, in a full-of-effects theatre. Watched 2 movie clips there, the first was not bad. The second was the best. Looking at how war will be conducted, with the effects so real, you'll really think the helicopter that dropped the Commandos was just above your head.

As the night storm started to get wroth
Disrupt the dreams of the child's broth
Remove the blanket of the wetted cloth
Spoil his night and dropped into a sloth
The movement speed slowed like a rust
Time is running you better make it fast
Statements of yours putting into unjust
By all reasons due of my flirty filthy lust
Greed of yours weigh and getting heavy
The line of my pride starts to get wavy
Your gluttony of love now gets groovy
But it was not something I would Envy
