Visit to Army Museum at Jurong opposite Singapore Discovery Centre 10/11/07

Today, i went to the Army Museum with Raj... We were all excited about it... So the meeting plce was at Seng Kang MRT Station... I took MRT from Hougang to Seng Kang, Saw Raj sitting on the bench outside 7-eleven... Wave at him and he come in... So we took the MRT and alight at Outram Park...30 mins trip to there, then we go for the East West Line (Green Colour) to Boon Lay MRT Station... We go to Jurong Point Macdonald for lunch, just only had a Mac Chicken for lunch... Then, start our journey and set our destination to Army Muesum... Took Bus no.s 182 and alight after 6 to 7 bus stop... Saw the Discovery Centre... But Raj said: "Looks like we are lost !!! " i reply:" Don't anyhow say, just follow me !!! " ... So we go through the SDC's carpark and saw the Army Museum... YEAH !!! We walk and walk by starting from the Atrium, and saw the Our Core Values with those red flag having those Regiments Logo on it... So Raj and i go and touch it... It's soft... And passing the Tokens of appreciation display given from those countries the Army had gone to help or having peace negotiation...

Then Raj saw those Vehicle behind the Building, so we decided to have ourselves photo taken... Halfway there, Raj climb up the M113 Assault Tank when suddenly, his ... tear a small hole... HAHA... Then we watch a 360 degree complemented special effects... Then we go to the information counter there, when the guy asked us to go to near the info counter, then he gave us a brochure and a coupon, tell us about the Museum... Then he said:" When you'll come from ? ' Raj and i replied: " Seng Kang... Hougang !!! ". " No no !!! I mean where you'll enter from ? " We luaghed and said sorry... Then i replied: " From the atrium !!! "... The guy said : " That's the exit !!! We laugh again !!! So the guy tell us the show timing so we go in and watch and guess what ??? So we go to the threatre top there, and watch because we don't know... Then the show start... The title is called " Our Army Now " WOW !!! It's was like you are in the real lively battlefield... An Artillery and a Tank plus a Helicopter was placed inside... When the part come for the Artillery to fire, the REAL Model Artillery burst some red light plus smoke to tell us that the artillery fired it's shell and when exploding the white light will flash like real, then when it's helicopter's turn, you will feel a strong wind blowing from the Helicopter plus the loud sound which was produced by the engine of the helicopter, but the blade didn't move la...We almost kanna blow away by the strong wind because Raj told me that he almost fall off from his seat and for me i almost fly off, then when it's in the sea, there's a Gun boat surfing, during this time you will feel some cool mist plus the sound effects of the boat... Then when it comes to tank, the Tank did similar like the Model Artillery, flashed a red light to tell us it has fired some rounds.. it's a 360 degree WITH SPECIAL EFFECTS... Children who are below 12 are advised to be accompanied by parent's because there's loud explosion sound and effects... After that, we walk around, took lots of pics, play the IMT (Individual Marksmanship Training) This IMT, almost 1 year i didn't play it already ever since i had never went to the HQ for IMT since Sec 3 because Sec 3 is the last time we are playing the IMT... The total score is 15, i failed but i scored 5, Raj scored 4... There also include 2 M-16 and 2 Sar-21 for you to play the IMT... After around 3.30pm, about 90 mins we had spend around the museum... We decided to go home because Raj had to go to his Cousin's house but because his pant tear a bit, he had to go back and change... HAHA...
