chapter 174

TOH XINYI!
The Depression one and my platoonmate!
HAPPY 16TH BIRHDAY, TOH XINYI!

The main subject of today is her, Toh Xin Yi.
Anyway, celebrated her brithday 2 days in advanced at Swensen's TM.
Went over to Sun Plaza park and have some good fun (;
I went home at 0040am, wooo! I ran after the bus with Juan and Xinyi. And i saw one of my classmate :) Yunyuan.

For saturday! A good start for me. As i went down for SJAB training, actaully, i went down was to return stuff, ohwell.

The evening was a fruitful evening, YES!
I went for Heritage trail, the trail name was "You've got a mail: Putting our stamp on time". BTW, it was Singapore's Heritage Festival!
Hmm, i went with Iris, Theresa and 9 of my cadets! They are super hyperactive yet fun to be with! Coolness~!
First, we visted the Battlebox, located at Fort Canning Park. Now, i know where the British army's officers planned their stratergies during world war2 ! It was an eye-opener for the 12 of us, really! The Battlebox is an underground shelter cum HQ back then. Now, it's open for the public, but no photographs are allowed inside.

Second stop, we alighted at Clarke Quay. We visited a pub, The Penny Black. The ambience was nice and we learned a brief history of Mr.Tan Tock Seng :D We also met with his great-great grandson, Mr.Ronny Tan. And of course, we took a group photo with him! Ohya, also knew some facts about the stamp, penny black! Was also told about the history of Cavanagh Bridge.

Last stop, The Fullerton Hotel. We was introduced to Singapore's second Master Post General (yea, i think yes) The highest ranking in the Post office, ya. Learned about the past that Fullerton Hotel used to be the General Post Office back in the olden days.

Overall, the trail was a good one! I love it!
