i typed a whole long post on fri but my comp had to go bust so im re-typin it now.man i sound so mechanical.

anywae,went for dat learnin journey thing on fri after national day celebrations[da sorry excuse of it actually].first location was changi museum,somewhere near changi prison which looked so horrific.it looked so...torture-chamber-ish...but then again,it IS a prison.
changi museum was a kinda nice building.it was really clean.saw some pictures,read some stuff n went to sit at da chapel thing.oh yeah saw da reproduced versions of da war murals.dey were really nice,n da way da museum exhibited dem was really..err calm-inducing?evrybody now...ohmmm...wasnt listenin to da guide at all,coz she was dead boring n i was so bloody hungry.finally we went back to da bus n you could hear da clearly audible sighs of relief from da class.but da guide just refused to shut up sia.sit down n give us a break woman.me and atiqah ignored her n listened to radio.
next stop was da battlebox at fort canning.sounds like some ps game.haha.it was a lil creepy coz of da figures of da soldiers looming in corners n it was underground.BUT it was airconditioned so all is forgiven.shahida started imagining things,sayin one of da figures smiled at her.waddehell?i was kinda relieved when we got out.shahida lah!!!anyhow say things..
3rd n last stop was da kranji war memorial.can u blif my mum used to study there?i duno wad's wrong with her oso.she says it's serene n peaceful...err yeah wadeva.but i gotta admit,da visit dere was a sobering one.da soldiers hu died were as young as 21!!i cant imagine dying at 21 for my country.its tragic.gotta give em some respect man.had da ceremony thing,wit a bagpipe n trumpet playin in da bckgrnd.sial ah dat was damn saddening.actualli forgot dat we were standin bakin under da sun.wonder how da guides do it. . .
dat was one day when i felt truly patriotic.lol how cheesy.
oh yeah how can i forget this??i think it was on the way to changi when we passed by da big splash.me,han,sarah n atiqah saw dis guy in a swimming pool>>nekkid<
