Lion Trails

This lion trails is part of the BMT course, which happened to commerce on this fateful day. It is a mini tour around the Newater plant, WWII Chapel and Museum and the Johore Battery.

0730 Hrs
Reached White Sands Shopping Center @ Pasir Ris. Waited for the bus to bring us through the tour. But the BMT training branch made a mistake. Our tour was schedule at 1pm while the 7.30am is for Dragon Company. Our company was angry by the mistake and some called the SAF hotline to complain about the mistake by them. Poor Planning. It really spoiled my whole day, which is part of our leave.

0830 Hrs
After much discussion, some of us decided on LAN gaming while some preferred street soccer. We left White Sands Shopping Center for Tampines Mall. One of my section mates purchased a soccer ball and we spent most of our time at the nearby basketball court playing street soccer.

1200 Hrs
We had lunch @ Century Square and back to Pasir Ris for the tour. Haiz.

1330 Hrs
Board the tour bus and off to the tour. Newater tour was a bit boring. Mostly is about reverse osmosis process of water to Newater.

Next is to the WWII Chapel and Museum. This was much interesting than the previous one. It showed the chapel, which was built by the WWII POWs. Next was the WWII museum, which showed interesting display of the items used and wore during the war. It also explained the procedures of the fall of the British and the fall of the Japanese rule as well as quotes from various people.

Last of all, the Johore Battery. It showed the “Big Guns” used during WWII by the British. It also explains the ammo and the guns worked.

1615 Hrs
End of tour. Back to Home.

P.S. We hoped that the BMT training branch had better planning and keep us informed of the changes even though this was a minor programme.
