Total Defence Day

Total Defense Day. Not the dull "First, Second or Third week in school" anymore. What is Total Defense Day? Oh, that is the day when Singapore surrendered to the Japanese in the World War II. What did we do that day.
On the 9th of February, my class (actually the whole consortium) went to this place called Singapore Discovery Center, SDC for short. After lunch, we went to SDC by bus. Although it was a long journey, we didn't mind it as we were looking forward to go to the SDC.
After half an hour in the continuous-rocking and noisy bus, we reached there. It was quite big so we had to walk a long way to reach the center. When all of the classes came, we were brought to a LITTLE auditorium (too small to call a auditorium...). There was a "tour guide" there. She introduced the SDC and told us all about Total Defense Day. Before that, i don't even know what that is, and I bet that almost everyone in my class don't know what is that also. Then, she told us about the 5 Defenses (I forgot). She gave us a worksheet(?)to do and a paper fan. Seriously, but that isn't wierd...
After that "lecture", we went for a break in the canteen. The food was a little pricey, so I didn't buy any food. Then, we went do the activity area beside the SDC to do a quiz. And there was PRIZES! All of us started working after hearing that word. The quiz is just all about the Total Defense Day and there are hints all around the activity area. After finishing the quiz, I went to redeem the prize. I got a file. Then, I did the quiz again and got the same thing. After that, I found out that we can actually do it once. Oops. Nevermind, since they didn't find out.
At 5, we went back and reached the hostel half and hour later. We learn about the Total Defense Day, and what is the meaning and history of it. And i got 2 files!! Hehe...
