All Geared Up

Listen to this article

Have never been so "on-the-alert" before when taking public transport. There was to be a simulated "terrorist attack" either this weekend or next weekend and I was like looking out for warning signs of imminent "attacks"; either a suspicious package or suspicious persons.

Remembered that my sight was like locked onto these 2 SCDF personnel sitting opposite me (ironic isn't it?). Was thinking: hmm, could this be the train that will be bombed? Little would I have expected that the action is all over... the "attack" had already taken place early this morning, which explains why the 2 SCDF personnel were so tired that they were dozing off just in front of me.

The rest of the day, it just rained and rained and rained non-stop... went over to my friend's house for a good game of monopoly and enjoy his cooking... He and his wife are so good with the game!

Looks like I not only missed the action for the "terrorist attack", I also missed the Renci Hospital Charity Show. Heard that Venerable Shi broke down in tears and expressed his concern about how other VWOs have became victims just because of "black sheeps". Well, for one thing, I do agree that we should not compromise the care of the beneficiaries being helped by the charity just because of mismanagement of a few people. They have made a mistake and we should punish the patients and their families more by pulling out our support... it is just not fair!
