Menu from SFI. Let the public have a feel of Army food.

I was in uniform today cause I don't want to be the Alien among all the Ambassadors. Imagine the rest wearing Army pants while I'm the only one wearing Jeans. Look so awkward cause I have not wear uniform for years and the guys are not used to it.


We were deployed in Battle Ride and Mission World which are the project for our unit. Basically for Battle Ride, there's 4 Armour Vehicles and 1 Infantry Light Strike Vehicle to choose. They will move towards the training area around BCTC and pass through a simulated battlefield. Some visitors got the chance to fire at the enemies.


For Mission World, the visitors are transported around by the 5 tonner truck. They will get to see the Mine Clearing Vehicle clearing the mine , Primus (Locally made Artillery Vehicle) firing, Live Firing from Light Strike Vehicle, SM1 tank and Bionix.

I was in Group 1 of the Ambassador Group. Together me are Zhaoming, Junxian, Prema and Shelia. In Group 2 are Aunty Yap, Lum, Tian, Zhiyuan and Jian Hui. Our shift for today starts from 10 till 1, then from 4 till 7. Not very crowded today, think it's due to the Heavy rain. Most of the visitors are from Sec and the Army Guys. The crowds are not very difficult to manage and time flies quite fast.

We took the last ride for the Mission World. This ride is much special to the rest of the earlier rides as the mission is conducted at night. I really got a shock when the SM1 tank fire the round. I could feel the impact when the round was discharged.
Got back at around 9+. so tired. 4 more days to go
