Army Open House 2009

It was a cloudy morning on 06 Sep 09 - Sunday. Papa jokingly said why not go to the Army Open House today? So i asked if he's gonna sent us there? He answered: " No, u bring the kids....."

@#&*...hw am i suppose to look out for 2 kids in a gonna be crowded venue? Just at this moment, my hp rang. Its was sil. She suggested a trip down to the Army Open House.. 这样巧?

We headed down to the Open House @ Pasir Laba Camp, off Jurong West, opp SAFTI. Sil suggested buying some food to bring in, in case there is nothing to purchase inside the camp grounds.

It started off fine till we reached Pasir Laba Camp. The officer informed us that we hv to park our vehicle at Jurong Camp instead and then board the free shuttle bus to Pasir Laba Camp. Well, the other two ( sil & bil) wasnt too happy that they hv to park @ Jurong Camp instead cos up & down the shuttle bus wasnt easy with so much barang barang, such as their stroller, bags & stuff. They were tempted to drive back home. I didnt say anything, except thinking that its such a waste if they come all the way here & js becos of 1 minor setback, they wanna go back instead. I am hitching a ride so i didnt wanna voice out.

They decided to follow the instructions. So we make a u-turn & drove towards Jurong Camp instead. We board the shuttle bus & alighted at Pasir Laba Camp. It was very very crowded - with the sch hols in view.

It was abt 12.15pm when we arrived. I tell u hor....it didnt turn out terrific at all. So many complaints & arguements from those 2... u know who...i didnt particularly enjoy 1 single bit of this trip. A few fotos here & there; a damn untasty lunch & a hasty getaway - home. I think we only spent less than 2 hrs there. Lionel kept on asking why we have to go back so early? I agree. Looking at the phamplet given to us upon entry, there are so many interesting things to see & do which we hvnt & then we hv to be sent home. I can only explain to Lionel that Vicky & Alexis needs their afternoon nap ( which was what was told to me). Excuses! I know that's nt the true reason. More likely, is becos its hot & crowded & everything also must queue that they felt so irritated. Aiyo...u expect the place to be empty ar....no crowd ar.... u wait long long lor.

Anyway, so it is that we headed home & the 2 kids ( mine one) gt no choice but to sleep in the car. Lionel was still very reluctant to go home. I told him nvr mind, next yr we will ask papa to come with us instead.

I was comtemplating to stay behind & continue the tour with Lionel & Rachel but then i was thinking hw in the world are we gonna go back. I didnt know that there are shuttle bus to & fro Boon Lay MRT station.

I voiced out to Papa in the evening. Papa asked why i didnt stay back & then he would pick me up, together with L & R later in the evening. I told him i felt so irritated by those 2 (sil & bil) already. Nvr again would I agree to tack along again.

Queuing for the shuttle bus inside Jurong Camp grounds. It was drizzling. Hopefully, the sky would clear.
