Don't take your spacebar for granted.

Sigh...
It took me 40 seconds to type that.
And it took me the entire day to type Camp Report.
That's life.

.:: Learning Journey Day ::.
Thursday, May 7, 2009
Yesterday was learning journey day.
First we went to Labrador Park for the Battlefield study tour.
First stop was the magazine (a place where ammunition is stored) with 3 doors. It was called “Magazine with 4 Doors”.
Well, the last door led to a blasted room which was closed during WWII, and only recently discovered.
Our tour guide also explained the dangers of shells, especially since Labrador Battery was so near the shore. “That steel door behind you is about a feet thick,” the tour guide says, pointing at the decomposing wooden door closest to us. “In those days shrapnel would penetrate that hard, solid door and kill soldiers inside.”
I borrowed a pen from my classmate Amir and started randomly drawing stuff. My group was brought under pavilion a few stops later. The centre of the pavilion had a mosaic of a seashell.
How apt.
Then she started talking about Amir-Piercing Shells that could drill through vessels, then explode when inside. How more of those were used compared to High-Explosive Shells at Labrador Battery.
Hilarious.
Anyway we went to Bukit Chandu Centre where we remembered the Malay Regiment that fought at Pasir Panjang. Then super cool video!
Wait for the animation to come out - its worth it!
