Lion's Trail...

The gathering of the Hawkers. We met up for some national education tour today, it was not as bad as i thought it would be. it was in fact actually pretty informative. The tour included visits to the Bedok NEWater plant, the Johor battery which is actually a giant monsterous cannon and lastly to the Changi Museum.

The tour guide for the NEWater plant was very funny, his ability to talk in different accent was pretty amusing. there were computer games to play and we were given a bottle of NEWater with sling attached as well! How cool was that! Hey what good is a sling if u don use it right? So as practical people, we conveniently sling the bottle around our neck, and what a sight it was. Fully trained soldiers slinging water bottles like little kids, skipping around the plant. this is something you don't see everyday. I guess we just miss our younger days when we were in primary school.

The visit to the Changi Museum was an eye opener. it was a museum depicting the lives of POWs during the Japanese occupation. The atmosphere was solemn as we walked through the museum. there were several graphic pictures showing chopped off heads. Anyway, i guess we were all kinda enlightened by this trip.

So after the trip, des, lim, jw, buddy and me went to TM for dinner and also to catch Batman Begins. We had dinner at pasta mania before the show. I met jia li at TM too, what a small world. it was a good show, i don't encourage the kids to go watch it coz it might be boring for them. this story line shows more of his origins and how Batman came about. the show has a deep story line focusing more on the character of Bruce Wayne to how he trained and finally to how he became Batman. The touch of humour lightens the show and made this 2 hour plus show even more enjoyable. So if you are a fan, u must definitely catch it, but if u are not, it might make u one.
