History Field Trip Today

Woke up at 7am for a History Field Trip and went to school for a History field trip.

First place we visited was the Johor Battery. Just a huge cannon down there with underground tunnels for storage of ammunition. Obviously we cannot go down to the tunnels, and the cannon is just a replica. That just spoilt the mood. -.-" Then again, I have to admit, that cannon is long and huge. But what's the purpose when it can't fire?

Next we went to Changi Museum, exhibiting about POWs under the Japanese under the Japanese. A wooden chapel down there reminds me of the chapel in my RuneScape POH (Player-Owned House), expect that it is made of marble and not cheap wood. Lol. :D Gotta admit, one of the nicest exhibitons are two katanas donated by the Japanese. Talk about Ni-Tour-Ryu (Two-Swords-Style). Ni-Tour-Ryu Iai: Rashoumon! :P (Two-Swords-Style Draw-and-Resheath-Technique: Rashoumon: A dual sword drawing technique so powerful it split large obstacles in half.)

Then we went to Fort Canning. Went to the underground bunkers there, where they stored ammunition too (Which bunkers are not for storing ammunition? -.-"). Down there is a room where Percival and eleven other important British commanders make the decision to surrender Singapore to Japan. Except they put in wax figures to display the exact state of the room sixty-four years ago. Then we went to see a "movie". There is a vending machine at the room, and beside it a fridge with a price tag on the upper-right hand corner. Since there are not any staff down there, can't we take the drinks inside there without paying or anything? Yeah, right. The damn door is locked. I repeat, LOCKED. -.-" Then we see a green sign with white words that say "Use of camera & video cameras is NOT ALLOWED in the battle box. Thank you.". Guess how I can memorize that exactly, especially when where is bold and where is large in size? Because Yoshida and I freaking use our camera to take the sign. Heh. :D The TV screen is so small, and I don't understand what the narrator says. Yoshida and Vernon both agrees that the narrator is Abdelaziz's grandfather, as his voice can make us sleep too.

On the way to lunch, Ephraim shares an interesting paragraph he read in his book to Yoshida and I. Apparently, some guy went to jail and he was telling another how he ended up in jail. He said he went back home late at night to find his wife making love with another man. So he tied both up, went to the kitchen and come back with an eight-inch knife. He stabbed the man's p***s eleven times, cut off his t****s. Then he went to his wife, stabbed her v***** with his knife. When asked why he did that, he said "because I love her". Exactly the type of book we would expect Ephraim to read. Okama Way.

Then we went to Funan the IT Mall to eat. We actually planned to eat at KFC, but since we cannot find it (actually, we hardly bothered), we went to McDonald's. Vernon and I ordered the same exact thing, but mine costs $6.20, while his only costs $4.90. What the hell? -.-" Then, to our surprise, Mr. Hardi came and sit down on our table, having lunch with us. Vernon looked at his back and thought it was Yoshida, saying quite a few number of nonsense you should not say to a teacher. Heh. As expected, Vernon ate the slowest, blah blah.

Next, we went looking around the mall. Found a toilet, and Vernon went in, having a stomachache. Yoshida and I went to look for computer games. We found several Nintendo DS available for people to play for fun. Guess what did Yoshida play? Some lame Yoshi game, as in Mario and Yoshi. Wow, suits his name.

Went back to the toilet twenty minutes and he was still there. I can tell you this, constipation sucks. He went out after I turned my back though.

We went to the first floor, me wanting to look at people playing Warcraft III and DotA (Defense of the Ancients), Vernon wanting to buy medicine or pills for stomachache from the pharmacy and Yoshida wanting to buy sweets from a super market. Note: Vernon bought "medicinal CHARCOAL". Sucks to be the one eating that.

Then we went to a museum for more information about the Battle of Pasir Panjang. Still think that the best item there was the aircon. :D Leet Yoshida managed to find a water cooler at the back of the museum. W00t, there goes my dehydration, I mean thirst. :P

We then went to Labrador Battery, a place with cannons meant to protect the southern parts of Singapore from invading Japanese forces coming from the south with battleships. Too bad the place sucks, since Japan attacked from the north during World War II. Oh well, at least that place is tall!

Oh, we saw cable cars to and fro Mount Fable and Sentosa too. :D

Then we went to Kranji War Memorial. So many people died in vain to defend Singapore. So sad. :( At least they died with honour, knowing that they sacrificed their lives to defend a country (even though to most of them, the country they are defending isn't even theirs). That's a much better way to die then to get San-Juu-Roku Pondou Hou by the tail of a stingray (San-Juu-Roku Pondou Hou/36 Pound Cannon: This attack uses the air itself to slash the target from a distance).

Along the way back, Ephraim shares another interesting paragraph from his book with us. Wow, it is surely crowded with the word "f***in'". Example: "I went to the local to drink, and when I came out of the f***in' pub, I saw some f***in' Aussie backpackers accusing me of taking their f***in' wallet. Well, I see no f***in' wallet!" Just exactly the type of book we would expect Ephraim to read. Okama Way.

Also, along the way back, Vernon saw his house, and quickly goes "Let me alight here! Oi!", and when the bus continues ahead, he went pointing symbols with his hands that signify "F*** you" and "What the f***". So near yet so far. Yoshida, Ephraim and I all laughed out loud looking at his attempts to try and go home faster.

Then went back to school and walked back home.
